An amazing Spin-Off to an amazing series

First I would like to draw a convenient line for this review in stating that this is not a numbered entree in the series and it is indeed a spin-off and the review will be from that prospective. If the game was a numbered entree then the score would be a lot lower. The game really holds your hand. Like a lot. an objective telling you what to do every 5 minutes. (But thinking back on it, It could be tied to the themes if you're really generous). This didn't annoy me too much but if your comparing this to the original, where it just puts you in an environment and you figure out where to go from there you will be disappointed. Combat gets very tiresome/boring (after 4 play-throughs). The combat is a bit souls like where the goal is to counter attacks or dodge. Once you learn an enemies attack pattern it will be easy. There is also no enemy that you cannot beat which could be seen as a downside for horror games. I recommend the highest difficulty if you want to feel anything from the combat. Its not scary. Not at all. This game is very much a horror from the prospective of the main character and it makes sense in the story but it fails to scare the player. Sound and visuals: Both incredible. Asthetics are amazing and sound/music great. (I believe there is a vine boom in a cut scene that I didn't notice until NG+) I really enjoyed the story. The horror elements and the mindset of the protagonist makes sense and fits the setting very well. The story is clear in the first play-through but in NG+ and up you get new cut-scenes and new documents to find that and prospective and nuance to the story. Some would argue parts of the story is "Woke" but the game really does a good job adding nuance which is a god-send in modern games. This is probably the best thing Konomi has released in a decade and with the and the fact that its on GOG so soon after release is amazing.

Nearly perfect SH game

I massively enjoyed SH2 last year and I can confidently say that this game is not as good as that but its damn near close. The story and setting is very unique to the series and the scares IMO were really well done. Protagonist is very likeable, like James was in SH2. Both have flaws that start exposing themselves as you progress. Puzzles were IMO done much better than in SH2. I had to use some guides for that game but this was alot more straightforward. I honestly love this game but the combat is definetly not great. Its what holds it back in being my favorite SH game.

Well done Game

This review is based on my first four hours with the game, so my opinion may change later. Technical Performance: The developers did a solid job using Unreal Engine. It’s not flawless, but it performs better than most games out there. The game runs smoothly, and my PC doesn’t sound like a jet engine. The only issue I’ve noticed so far is a strange graphical glitch during cutscenes, it looks like V-Sync isn’t working properly on single objects in zhe Scene. Outside of that, gameplay is clean and stable without Issues. Atmosphere and Setting: I really enjoy the japanese setting. The village, environments, and character designs are beautifully crafted and create a strong, immersive atmosphere. The sound design and music are excellent so far. Hearing enemies from a distance or as they approach is intense and thrilling. The japanese voice actors are outstanding. Combat System: You have a fast attack and a heavy one. The heavy attack can paralyze enemies for a few moments, making them more vulnerable, so you can follow up with quick strikes. There is also a dodge button and a counter mechanic. Countering isn’t too difficult, you can lock onto enemies, which widens the timing window for blocking (but also drains your mental stability). So far, the enemies I have encountered were stunned afterwards, similar to using the heavy attack on R2. Weapon Durability and Tension: Weapons can break, but you can repair them. It hasn’t been a major issue yet and i have three pipes atm., but I suspect it encourages avoiding unnecessary fights later on. That said, it’s genuinely thrilling to be trapped in a tight space and forced to flee from an enemy. The game does a great job of making you feel vulnerable. Power-Ups and Shrines: You can find power ups in form of trinkets or buy them from shrines, which also serve as save points. One example is a power up that reduces enemy vision and another one giving you more health, helping you sneak through tough situations or just survive them. To buy them, you trade items for “Praying Points”, the game’s currency. Some items exist just for this purpose, while others are healing items, so you’ll need to think carefully before selling. Puzzles and Exploration: The puzzles I have encountered so far had a good balance, not too easy, not too hard (on the hard difficulty). They aren’t spoon fed and the character doesn’t talk to herself to give hints. No radio guy either. Nothing on the map has been marked that I wouldn’t have checked myself, which keeps exploration rewarding. Story and Themes: I haven’t seen much of the story yet, but the intro hints at themes of parental abuse. A small note involving foxes, the present shrines and something else i will not spoiler, also suggests something more that will go in in that regard. It’s still relatively early, but the tone is promising. Price and Value: Yes, the game costs €80, which is steep, but so far I’m satisfied with what I’ve gotten. (They’re lucky I’m doing my spooky month.) I ’m genuinely glad Konami delivered a proper single-player experience without microtransactions or shady practices. That they gone back into that is kinda incredible, after they went full in with Pachinko and NFTs. I’ll update this review after a full playthrough

Silent Hill F is a misunderstood classic

SPOiLERS The game was never about feminism, anti-marriage, anti-family, and the usual men are bad crap. It's mainly about societal pressure, peer pressure, loss of trust, financial struggle, bad parenting, forced arranged marriage, losing one's own identity and freedom to make own choices, which are real world issues even today. Hinako is treated as a pariah due to being a tomboy, which was a typical thing to do in 1960s Japan. Her father used to be a kind and respectable man, but became abusive (frequently drunk and angry) after a failed business venture that saw his money get stolen by someone he trusted for years, landing the family in financial debt. Her mother being subservient and complicit to whatever her husband does just made things worse for Hinako. Then her older sister Junko, who was her main emotional support for years, ended getting married, which left Hinako betrayed and abandoned. The arranged marriage was decided to get family out of debt (because the would be husband, Kotoyuki, is rich), something Hinako does not want, due her fear of getting into a similar abusive marriage just like her mother. Then there's her "close friends", Shu the partner, is the only one who cared, but went about the wrong way by giving a medicine (which intent was to help Hinako reflect and think clearly) that just contributed to Hinako's emotional and mental breakdown. Rinko, who became very jealous because Hinako excelled in sports, and wanted Shu for herself, while Sakuko, who has special needs, felt betrayed (very similar to Hinako losing Junko's emotional support) upon finding out Hinako was getting married. Hinako endures all these elements and forces that want to change her to who she is not, which results in two sides of her clashing, one that wants to resist and freely explores other options in life, while the other just willingly give in to marriage and let go her original identity and freedom. The whole thing initially makes Hinako develop twisted views towards marriage and mistrust towards people (men and women alike). The TRUE ENDING though shows, that Hinako has overcome all these emotional and mental problems, has earned that much needed freedom and peace of mind to decide things for herself (instead anyone deciding for her), free to explore various options in life, which includes possibility of getting married (to Kotoyuki) someday. The game also shows that men are also pressured by society, family and peers as well, since Kotoyuki was also forced into the marriage (to Hinako) by his family as well. He too was also happy to be free and explore other options in life, which includes getting married to Hinako someday.
