The general sentiment towards Silent Hill f is largely positive, with players appreciating its unique setting, evocative atmosphere, and complex narrative. However, the game is criticized for its combat, which feels clunky and repetitive, and the necessity to replay multiple times for full story comprehension is seen as a tedious design choice. The game successfully explores deep themes but relies heavily on knowledge of Japanese culture to fully appreciate the narrative depth. Overall, it offers a memorably haunting experience for fans of psychological horror.

    • Mixed Points
