The general sentiment surrounding 'Silent Hill f' is that it delivers on atmosphere and storytelling, with a strong narrative rife with emotional depth and themes. However, the combat system is a frequent point of criticism due to its clunkiness and tedious nature. Players look forward to uncovering the multi-layered story across several playthroughs but note that the need to replay the game multiple times for all endings may feel like padded game length. Nonetheless, the game is cited as a noteworthy entry into the Silent Hill franchise for its engaging environment and sound design, even if it takes bold new directions not seen in previous installments.

Positive Points

  • The story is deep and emotional, exploring themes like identity, societal pressures, and psychological horror. It is praised for its depth and the unique setting in 1960s Japan.
  • Visually, the game is stunning, creating a haunting and beautiful atmosphere that effectively mixes traditional Japanese elements with horror.
  • The sound design is excellent, featuring a mix of traditional and industrial soundscapes that elevate the horror atmosphere.
  • The multiple playthroughs with different endings are appreciated for adding depth to the narrative, revealing more of the story as players progress through New Game+ modes.

    • Negative Points

  • The combat system is widely criticized, described as clunky, tedious, and not suitable for the horror genre; it feels frustrating for many players.
  • The requirement to play through the game multiple times to access all endings is seen as unnecessary padding and can make gameplay feel repetitive.
  • Some noted an imbalance in the difficulty settings, where the jump from Story to Hard mode is significant and may not be well-balanced.

    • Mixed Points

  • The game's setting in 1960s Japan and deviation from the traditional Silent Hill setting divides opinion; some find it refreshing, while others feel it disconnects the game from the franchise.
  • The themes of feminism and identity present in the story receive mixed reactions, with some players appreciating the exploration of these themes, while others find them a controversial addition.

    • Common Themes

  • Many reviews mention the developer's effort to connect the game to the wider Silent Hill mythos, even if subtly, while also stepping into new thematic territories.
  • There is frequent mention of pacing issues, especially later in the game, where the linear level design and combat-heavy sections become apparent.
  • The game is noted for beautiful graphics and ambitious storytelling that is characteristic of the silent, atmospheric terror the franchise is known for.
