Anyway sorry for suddenly reanimating from the dead just to rant about a game LOL I just am feeling very bigly about this. I did make my third run WAY more interesting tho with an omamori set I tried out, making hard mode even harder LMFAOFJ
Daisy + Rabbit + Suzuran + Serpent + Hawk (or Swallow!) 🌝

I have SOOO so many more detailed thoughts about this, but overall I'm just genuinely baffled at all the high praise & ratings that I'm seeing for a game that feels like it's just doing what Homecoming & Downpour tried to do but a little better? And those games are touted as the worst?? So like???

I'm someone that is a huge wuss when Playing horror games, so I've been really let-down by how this just isn't doing anything at all. Past SHs have all made me feel apprehension or tension or scared, except for one— Downpour. And I can't help but be reminded of that game this entire time??

The moment youre given a big fuck-off arm & it shifts into more fantasy-realm stuff is the moment the horror just... Dies for me. What is there to be afraid of anymore? The same 4 enemies I've seen for like 20 hours now? The lack of enemy variety & the safety+frustrations of the combat just ruins it

That's not scary, that's *frustrating.* The only tension I'm feeling is the rising annoyance and headache some of these areas, ESPECIALLY the whole latter half of the game, give due to the sudden shift into unavoidable action-combat. But not even just that—

The combat also isn't what I'd describe as "janky", it's actually a solid system. It's not hard either, it just takes practice. The problem is that it is NOT a good system for the level/game design that they tried to put it into. It's not made for 1v4+'s/mandatory gauntlets/narrow spaces At All

The transitions are just Not Good imo, some have been jarring or immersion-breaking and I find myself wishing the dark shrine were more incorporated INTO the town as you went on, not... Sometimes-pass-out-and-end-up-there (& sometimes Hinako didn't even seem to fully pass out beforehand either???)

But I just... find myself heavily agreeing with the sentiment that this doesn't feel like a silent hill game & a lot of that goes into issues with the combat, lack of tension/atmosphere, & the disjointed separation between the town & the otherworld (& how they chose to transition between the two)

There are multiple points (mostly up to the middle school) where I feel reminiscent of Siren, & those games are some of my absolute favorite horror games. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if parts of the music in the school were sampled right from Blood Curse!!! It sounds nearly identical!!

I saw someone say that it "doesnt feel like a Silent Hill game, but it does feel like a team silent game" & that's something I keep thinking of while playing this. I'm not familiar with r07's writing since I never got into Higurashi/Umineko, but, uh, it seems better suited for a Siren game more..?

Halfway through my third NG+ hard run for the 3rd ending of SHf, & while I had a more fun time in the 2nd playthrough, the complaints that I have with the gameplay, combat & execution of the story still haven't lessened one bit OTL
The game isn't *bad*, but it's not... Great, either?? Idk man o(-<

I promise I'm trying to like this game bc I was so down for the premise before it came out, but man..... Man. I'm gonna have to write an entire google doc of my thoughts when I'm done with it just to get it out of my head lmao

Started up my second playthrough of SHf and got the UFO ending super fast just bc I could. So far the new tidbits in all the cutscenes are so small and short that it feels a bit tedious having to watch the whole thing again just to see the tiniest bit of something new 😮‍💨

It's just . It's................... It's just not really that great. At least not the first playthrough. And it makes me feel like I MUST be missing something here lmao

LRP is literally where I'm at rn LMAOOOO I feel so..... Let down with how it ended, and the experience as a whole. I'm not even trying to view it from a "ride-or-die SH oldie" view either, which seems to be what ppl are being labeled who are criticizing the game, from what I've seen....

i may have spoke too soon

Which makes me incredibly sad, both because I was looking forward to this game and also because this was 70 fuckign dollars djfkkdhssjkf but I just cannot get rid of the feeling that so far, this is just... A hugely inflated indie horror game, to me OTL
Guess I'll see how the other playthroughs go

I finally beat the first playthrough of Silent Hill f and at the moment, I don't... Really. . . Know how to feel about this game. And not in a good way?? Really hoping the subsequent playthroughs add more to the experience bc right now, I don't understand the massive well-reception this is getting 😭
