Silent Hill f - PlayStation 5, Amazon Exclusive Day One Edition

Silent Hill f feels like a series remembering what made it terrifying in the first place. Not jump scares. Not monsters alone. Dread. The kind that quietly settles into your chest and stays there long after you put the controller down. The shift to a Japanese setting gives the game a completely different atmosphere from earlier entries, and it works beautifully. The environments are haunting in a way that feels almost dreamlike at times, balancing beauty and decay so well that simply walking through the world becomes unsettling. There are moments where the game looks almost serene until you realize something feels deeply wrong beneath the surface. What impressed me most was how confident the pacing feels. The game is willing to slow down and let tension build naturally instead of constantly throwing noise and chaos at the player. Exploration feels meaningful, and the psychological horror elements land because the game trusts the player enough to sit in discomfort and uncertainty. On PlayStation 5, performance was smooth throughout my experience. The lighting, environmental detail, and sound design come together to create an atmosphere that feels incredibly immersive, especially with headphones. The audio deserves particular praise because it constantly makes you question whether what you heard was real or imagined. The story also deserves recognition for aiming higher than simple survival horror. Beneath the grotesque imagery and disturbing encounters is a narrative deeply rooted in grief, shame, isolation, and the fear of becoming trapped by expectations placed upon you. It feels personal in a way many horror games never quite achieve. Overall, Silent Hill f is one of the strongest horror experiences I’ve played in years. It understands that true horror is not just about fear, but about unease, memory, and the feeling that something inside the world is fundamentally broken. If you enjoy atmospheric horror that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, this is absolutely worth experiencing.

Loved the game was quite intriguing, specially the story line at first was a bit confusing but later got to piece all together better.The 1st no true ending everyone gets was definitely something I didn’t expect ,got me shocked (I played the normal history mode). Now I’m doing the second round to the game Silent hill Plus after I pass it first time , there is some things that are different on the story, some new places that I clicked on the area and you get to keep your blessings and omamoris. The game itself is not very scary compared to Silent hill 2 but the environment is a bit more nostalgic and traumatic the music and the characters are more darker in terms of emotionless and guilt tripping 🙈 I felt bad for Hinako every step of the journey. However I must say the game play of her attacks was my only complain I felt they where a bit slow the movements so I appreciate it when after the fox rituals she got a better form that I was able to play better with. Her weapons too the pipe is sometimes painful to use and the constant reparation of the weapons was a bit annoying too. Which is why I enjoy more the fox reality since there the weapons where not need to be constantly fixed. The game itself came on time well wrapped with codes to use and a mini poster!

This one caught me by surprise. Didn't expect to enjoy this one. It just seemed so far removed from SH at 1st glance. However if you give it a chance, you will find out that it's a solid horror game. I understand why it got some pushback now but I must admit it was a good experience. Even my most stubborn buddies stopped blasting the game after awhile and got invested into the crazy storyline. Great visuals, awesome art direction, sweet ost, neat story beats and solid combat. I look forward to the "we were wrong about SHF" videos later down the line.

Great soundtrack and audio design as always, very creepy and unique monster designs, exciting and frantic, and an interesting story. It's not a perfect game. Combat can feel clunky, but at this point it's almost a trademark of the game. Weapon durability didn't seem necessary beyond making it harder to survive unless you run from most encounters. Navigating the village can be tough as it's cramped, packed with monsters and lots of dead ends, plus the occasional surprise jump scare. Overall better than I expected.

Pretty good game and has the classic UFO ending!

Just finished the game last night. I think that last year's Silent Hill 2 remake is better than Silent Hill f, but I will give credit to the developers at NeoBard for doing something different for Silent Hill. And not just rehashing the same Silent Hill 2 formula over and over again. The combat in Silent Hill f has depth and is interesting to say the least. It can be pretty frustrating in many sections in the game though, but I felt I was getting better at it as the game progressed, which is more than I can say for some other action type games. I would recommend setting the action difficulty to the "story" setting if you are having a hard time, as I did. I am doing a new game+ now with the setting set to "hard", now that I know what to expect and have gotten more used to the combat and dodging/parry system and more familiar with the enemies and bosses. I completed the game last night after around 13 and 1/2 hours. This game has some disturbing scenes and the overall mood I really enjoyed for a Silent Hill game. And the fog, like Silent Hill 2 remake is some of the best I have ever seen in a video game. Even though Unreal Engine 5 games get a lot of criticism for performance, there is no denying the game looks fantastic and beautiful. And I played the game on "Quality" setting set at 30 fps, I had no major issues of slowdown at all during my play through. I really loved Hinako as a main character, who is both beautiful and complex for the series as a whole. The game has a tragic story and one that will stay with you, like many other Silent Hill games in the franchise..There are several additional endings to unlock after beating the game the first time, that provides more context and closure to the overall lore and story here that is being told in Silent Hill f. I just finished the "Fox Ending" last night, it being my 2nd playthrough, I strongly believe this is a great game with very strong writing and storytelling. There are differing messages around each ending that will provide more context, and finally a "true ending" after at least your 3rd playthrough, provided you meet all the in game conditions to reach that ending. The game also helps you out by listing what you need to do to gain each ending after beating the game the first time. I strongly feel based on what I have played so far, that Silent Hill f handles the themes it tries to tackle very well. I absolutely adored the soundtrack and loved all the new tracks from Akira Yamaoka. He is a legendary composer in the games industry and I am so grateful for him that he is continuing to do the Soundtracks for Silent Hill games, especially at his age. So in conclusion, please give the game a try if you are interested, keep an open mind, but accept that it is different from Silent Hill 2 or any other Silent Hill game...and you will enjoy it enormously I think. There are more options with items and strategy during fights and in some ways Silent Hill f does remind me of a RPG game. So in that sense I can see why the game would be divisive for some people. However alot of different Silent Hill games have also experimented with different combat systems over the years, so in my eyes, I give the developers here credit with what they were trying to do with this game. I would give this game a 8/10, or 4/5 stars here on Amazon. It is currently sitting on a 86 on Metacritic which seems fair. I wouldn't take the user critics score that is currently showing a 7.2 seriously at all. The game is facing some sort of strange culture war review bombing right now so I suspect the user score there to worsen. There are far too many extremely toxic fans of this IP unfortunately that are very unforgiving and opinionated about everything related to the IP and future games. I guess they want every Silent Hill game to be like 2, which to me would be equally disappointing and uninteresting, even though I love 2. Play the game/watch a youtube video of gameplay and decide for yourself instead. Don't let other people, here on Amazon reviews as well tell you only they know what Silent Hill is. Play the game and decide for yourself. Be willing to give this game an open mind and you will find it is highly intelligent, terrifying in many places and has a excellent and haunting story you won't soon forget. I think as time goes on the game will become more of a cult classic favorite within the fanbase even.

Sick game and if you can wait for the sale

Pricey but as a fan of franchise worth it to me. Good graphics artistry and some scary moments. Game is great with surprises and anticipating fights. Have not comlpeted game yet but will die trying lol

Embalagem muito caprichada. Como é edição Day One, vem um código para resgatar na PSN alguns cosméticos. Aparentemente tudo certo, chegou 7 dias antes do previsto, créditos para a loja Gamer Hut que faz um trabalho excelente. O único ponto negativo é que o CD veio solto na caixa, o que infelizmente está se tornando comum hoje em dia. Não sei se é durante o transporte que ele se solta, não sei se é defeito da embalagem mesmo, enfim.. Irei testar, caso veja que está arranhado e com algum problema, solicitarei a devolução.

Mi queja es la misma que todos: No traía posters a pesar de que la publicidad indica que si, fue el único motivo por el cual lo compré en amazon y no en otra tienda, deberían tener mas cuidado con eso. Las 5 estrellas en si son por el juego, el juego es inscriblemente maravilloso !!! RESEÑA CON SPOILERS El juego se siente como un silent hill totalmente, tiene los elementos que hacen de un SH un SH, la historia es muy atractiva y combina los aspectos de silent hill: psicologia y misticismo, la psicología detrás de cada monstruo es hermosa, así como la ambientación y la música, se siente mucho la mano de Akira Yamaoka, eso si desconcierta un poco el parry, la barra de energía y el esquive pero se sienten mas como elementos de evolución, como el siguiente paso en silent hill, no es un juego para los nostalgiafans es el silent hill para las nuevas generaciones, la cantidad de mounstruos es similar a la de SH2 remake asi que no llega a sentirse como un juego de acción, la explicación de uno de los finales donde se explica que Hinako enloqueció y mato a todos en su boda es genial, el monstruo persiguiendote todo el juego para al final descubrir que es la misma Hinako es muy SH2 con James y Piramid Head, la relacion de SHF con SH1 a través de la claudia blanca es genial y el que la justificación de la locura de Hinako sea un consumo excesivo de la claudia blanca esta increíble, entre los otros finales se encuentra uno que hace alusión al misticismo mencionado y peleando contra dioses pero tambien es muy silent hill tomando en cuenta que en SH1 peleamos contra un demonio volador. Definitivamente 👌 lo recomiendo mucho y mas si son seguidores de la saga y vienen con mente abierta a ver la evolucion de sh. Silent hill 1, 2 y 3 fueron un charmander y este es un charizard, disfrútenlo

I have played the previous Silent Hill games but this is by far more scary and the graphics are so realistic and terrifying storyline. Definitely recommended and it is reasonably priced and arrived quickly after ordering.

Llego sin problemas y sin ningun daño

Perfect!
