Whilst Silent Hill f does send you off to blindly explore the fog the way any Silent Hill game should, the experience while you’re out there has changed. Melee combat also becomes a lot more complex in Silent Hill f, taking on almost Souls-like qualities. Last year’s Silent Hill 2 was my first experience with this series, and it feels like Silent Hill f raises the stakes of its suspense and oppressive atmosphere impressively well. The more slick, visceral organic nature of Silent Hill f’s otherworld compared to previous games makes the town’s shift even more unsettling and pervasive than the rust and barbed wire of Silent Hill, Maine. Expect Silent Hill f from 25 September on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
