Silent Hill 4: The Room

+ Story + Music + Monsters + Atmosphere + Game length + Drawing of characters - Rarely camera and control The last part of the legendary horror series, which was created by young Japanese talents from the Team Silent studio. The first part to undergo the most changes. The only work that offers a first- and third-person view and the only work that wanted to approach the canceled Silent Hills project by Hide Koji and Guillermo del Toro. Now to the game. Silent Hill 4: The Room is a horror-psychologically tuned game with elements of fantasy and survival, which does not contain a single dark place in which you would need some light. The element that the creators of the game built on this time is to induce a feeling of crampedness in the main apartment of the main character Henry Townshend (and that in time it will not be just a feeling of crampedness), who travels through portals (holes) from his apartment to different worlds. real architecture, but in the vast majority they seem strange, disgusting, absurd, dirty and perverse, which perfectly brings the feelings of atmospheric horror. In the process of a captivating and mysterious story, you get to know many characters that each has something in it, especially Henry's sympathetic neighbor Eileen Galvin, or the main enemy of Walter Sullivan. Traveling through the worlds, you will walk through a diverse environment, from the subway, forest to the hospital. Enormous praise belongs to the design of individual enemies, respectively. monsters that belong to the best of all Silent Hill parts (dogs in a torn and disintegrated state, oversized mutated patients, old grannies without legs, but with big hands and two children's heads, ghosts that can't be killed, etc.). You will fight these monsters with various weapons (typical steel pipe, ax, pickaxe, spade, golf club, or revolver). Much could be written about a game or act like Silent Hill 4: The Room. In the end, I highlight the amazing music. Support it!

This is the best PC port of any Silent Hill game. Without mods, of course. Silent Hill 2 has a wonderfully active mod scene that Silent Hill 4 may lack, but Silent Hill 4 is a near perfect port on its own. There are two issues that I can think of that are not as good as the console originals. First, the game doesn't have analog controls, even on a controller. The PC version on has 8-way controls. This really isn't a problem and for most people you'll never even notice, but it's worth pointing out. The other is that half of the apartment hauntings will never appear due to a bug. As I write this, there is a fan-patch to fix this currently being tested by a few people. Besides the availability of higher resolution patches, there's not much else different between console and PC versions. As for the game itself, yes, this is the "weakest" of the four Silent Hill games. But that doesn't make it bad. Far from it. In fact, this game carries the name Silent Hill with pride and has one of the best plots and stories in the entire survival-horror genre even to this very day. It does deviate from the formula the first three games created in a few ways. First, this game has a hub that you come back to at the end of every area. The eponymous Room. The swap between first and third person perspective was heavily marketed, but it really makes little impact on the game overall. Second, this game actually makes use of a limited inventory so deciding what to bring with you on your trips into the various game zones is important. Do you bring extra ammo? Or maybe some more healing? Do you need this key item now? Or can you store it in your apartment for later? It makes for some slight strategizing. Lastly, the ghost enemies differ from all enemies seen up to this point. You can't permanently kill them. You can take them down, but they will always return to haunt you. But beyond that,at its core it's still Silent Hill as you know it. Too bad they didn't make more after this one.

Yes, it does takes a rapid turn from the gameplay of the classic entries, and yes, the 2nd half can be tedious being practically a long escort mission, but those flaws don't overshadow the thick atmosphere and story. Team Silent's swan song, and a must play for every fan of the classic SH.

Konami, plz add another games in GOG, cuz i really love classic SH series. OwO

I'm so ecstatic to finally be able to play Silent Hill 4! This port is pretty solid without running into any issues as far as I can tell. I had to reconfigure the controls for my controller, but the game is perfectly enjoyable. As soon as I heard about this game being released on this website, I purchased it. Silent Hill 4 is one of the few installments in the series I have yet to finish. As a huge fan of the Silent Hill games, I'm happy I have the option to finally play this game without having to pay quite a bit for the original PlayStation 2 copy. I hope this paves the way for Silent Hill 2 and 3 to be available for purchase on GOG's platform, as PC ports already exist for both of these games. If we're lucky we might get other games in the series as well.
