Reviews for *Silent Hill f* are now available, and the initial response has been largely positive. Current scores show the game is performing almost as well as Bloober Team’s highly praised remake of *Silent Hill 2*.
Konami first revealed *Silent Hill f* in October 2022. The game is being developed by Neobards Entertainment, a studio based in Taiwan, and is a new side story in the *Silent Hill* series. Notably, it’s the first game in the franchise set in Japan. Players will experience a survival horror adventure in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka during the 1960s, and it’s planned to release on PC and consoles on September 25th.
Early Silent Hill f Reviews Are Encouraging
Reviews for *Silent Hill f* are now available, and the initial response has been very positive. Currently, the game has the highest “Mighty” rating on OpenCritic, averaging 87 with 88% of reviewers recommending it. This score is comparable to the critically praised *Silent Hill 2* remake, which also has an average score of 87, though reviewers were even more enthusiastic about that title.
Silent Hill f vs. Silent Hill 2 Remake Reviews

| Silent Hill f | 87 | 88% |
| Silent Hill 2 (2024) | 87 | 95% |
Okay, so I’ve been reading a lot about *Silent Hill f*, and everyone’s talking about how incredibly atmospheric it is – the environments and the monster designs are seriously getting a lot of love. People are also saying it’s really replayable and the story keeps you hooked at a great pace. But, it sounds like the last part of the game leans a bit too heavily into action for some, which kinda takes away from the horror vibe. And without giving anything away, there’s this one big plot twist that’s really splitting fans – it seems like the game takes the series in a pretty unexpected direction, which isn’t sitting well with everyone.
Silent Hill f Authenticity Debate Continues
Early reviews haven’t settled the question of whether *Silent Hill f* truly feels like a *Silent Hill* game. Even those who aren’t fans agree it’s a well-made game, but its differences from past titles make some wonder if it deserves the *Silent Hill* name. The 2024 game *Silent Hill: The Short Message* faced similar criticisms, though it was generally received much less favorably.
Initial reviews of *Silent Hill f* suggest that early worries about the combat weren’t justified. Most critics find the combat to be at least functional, with some even describing it as engaging. While the game was initially compared to soulslike titles, reviewers feel those comparisons were a bit much, though not completely off base. The game officially launches on September 25th, but players who purchased the $79.99 Digital Deluxe edition have had access since September 23rd.
