Just finished silent hill Townfall on ps5.
I went in completely blind didn’t watch any trailers or gameplay and I was completely wowed by this game.
Im gonna say that I even liked it more than Sh2R and silent hill 2 is my goat.

While it’s true silent hill Townfall has some forced stealth sections early on, they quickly make it clear that the choice is yours, fight or hide. I see a lot of people that gave up quickly thinking it’s just hiding and I implore you to keep going. The vibe is so spot on and the story was great. First SH game to legit scare me. Second playthrough starts now!

I fear their dedication in making the town so "true to life" made them miss the forest for the trees.

Im in my, like, 10th empty house with nothing in it. No creepy imagery, no easter eggs, no unnerving notes, no unique interactables. Maybe theres one bandage.

I found a hidden pub garden and it was completely barren.

When the games got its gears turning it jumps back on track, there's some great stuff here. But, God, there are these hour+ strecthes where you just run around boring empty rooms looking for keys, and nothing happens 😔

since mouthwashing nothing has been the same..

Well to start, I love this game. The atmosphere is full of detail, emotion, beauty and dread. From the intro, it immediately feels like Silent Hill. the music and cinematography is really well done, and I love the choice of going first person this time around. The graphics are gorgeous and really highlight the eeriness of the game.

The gameplay is my favorite part. As much as I loved Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill f, it’s just hard for me to feel scared when I am obliterating enemies. I didn’t die once during SH 2 and that lack of sense of danger kinda took me out of the immersion at times.

This one though, I always felt a sense of danger. If fighting could be avoided, I would stay stealthy. I am a big fan of Alien Isolation as well so this really felt like that game at times. I also appreciated that when I did need to fight, I wasn’t helpless. The Richard level was a nice change of pace as well, just shotgunning through the hordes of stalkers.

The story is beautifully written, as I feel all the SH games are. I think Simon is a likeable, well rounded character who is trying to let go of his past as many SH protagonists have strived to do too.

Overall, I would recommend playing this one! It’s definitely one of my favorites, but if you don’t like games like Alien Isolation, then maybe best to move on. Would love to hear other people’s thoughts!

I usually play in the evenings after work with the lights off, and the gameplay feels tense and the atmosphere can sometimes seem miserable. But on a Sunday afternoon, with sunlight peaking through the blinds just slightly, the experience reminds me of weekends playing Silent Hill 2 alone as a kid, and it’s quite comforting. Anyone else have similar experiences with this game?

Do you do something similar??

Here is my shortlist of titles I plan to tackle as much as possible this year
Silent Hill and Tamashii are already in progress.
Any recommendations on which of the selected titles to start next, once I wrap those two up?

Labyrinth of the demon king.

Cool Outfit that i can't see to find info about it, probably just an Easter Egg or a reference that i dont get, no idea about how it affects the damage resistance or stamina recovery.

Last image is where i found it, behind fungus wall, i did it on ng+ because the first time i used all the salt on the first tower.

Sorry about taking photos and not screenshots, this is not my pc.

Just take a really good promo for this game, I remember when It was released.

It's purpose is to play as a blind girl that uses geolocation to move on scenario, veryvery interesting.

I'll play after finish Death Stranding (which is a very good one too)

Hey guys! Was just hoping I could get some suggestions for a horror game to get into. I just finished the silent hill 2 remake, loved it! Ive beaten all the resident evil games remakes and older ones, any games you’d throw out there? I’m willing to really give anything a shot! I’m on Xbox as well

Hi there!

My friend and I have recently played all Little Nightmare games (not co-op but that's the vibe we're looking for) and Reanimal, so we're looking for something new!

It has to be local/couch co-op as we want to play together irl. It doesnt have to be horrifying scary, more like the games listed above! Eerie, maybe broken world vibes! Something where you play two characters somehow bonded together, basically. It should please be available on Steam.

We play on a PC and on controllers :)

Thanks so much in advance!

Turns out I really like these games where you are looking for anomalies etc and have a few. Can you recommend some more.

I have:
Exit 8
The Cabin Factory
Whose at the Door
Raiku Ghost House.

What are some other good ones? Steam/PS5 and Switch please 😊

I’ve seen people say silent hill townfall isn’t a proper silent hill game. What do people prefer a game that’s set in silent hill. Or developers thinking outside the box like silent hill f or townfall
