Never finished this one, I certainly would have remembered what you put in the spoiler warning, haha. I appreciated that SH4 tried to do something different for sure, but man, I couldn't get past the combat and the tedium of visiting a lot of the same places over and over again.

I know one could argue none of the Silent Hill games have good combat and that's true, but I always felt like I could overcome the more challenging parts in the previous games. SH4 just overwhelmed me.

That said, I haven't played it in 20 years, so I could be misremembering.

I appreciate you sharing your passion for the game here!

It was bold for sure, and I actually thought it was the most solid in the combat aspect compared to 3 and 2. I do see your point with the revisiting the same nightmare locations, but I enjoyed it because the 2nd time you usually have more context on why you're put in the area, with harder enemies and more complex puzzle.

I do hope they remake 3 & 4 like they did too. I definitely am passionate about those games so thanks for reading!

I have yet to play any SH game, but this hypes me up. Maybe it's time to play one.

Give it a shot! This one is def more unconventional than the rest. So for a more straight fwd gameplay I’d say play 2 or 3.. but if you want just weird then this ones the way to go 😎

I could see even the playthrough being creepy. Maybe I’ll go watch one soon too!

I agree that the boldness is underappreciated in this game. For us who were playing this growing up, it was a total mindf*ck. You felt bad for little Walter, while ran for your life with the adult version. The story had so many layers that even after replays I was still uncovering secrets and connecting the dots from notes etc. I hope they one day give it the Silent Hill 2 treatment and do a remake!

So I never got to play maria cuz I had the original version of the ps2 game without the extras. So I am so stocked to hear about this. Im glad its a remake + extra content and the spookiness is still there
