This game is such slop using the silent hill name i booted it up to only end up in gooner hill my first enemy you ask? the big breasted nurses that aren't relevant to this silent hill "protagonist" and my favourite most meaningful quote of the game:
"she's not here, she's not here,
she's not here, she's not here,
she's not here, she's not here,
she's not here, she's not here"

I give this game a 2 badonkers out of 5 freaky hills.

Played on the steam deck, couple of bugs but overall I had an amazing time with this game! 5 stars

I rarely give a negative review, but it is what it is.

I would like to commend the game on its monster and boss design, as well on its overall mood and music. That being said, those are the only redeemable qualities to it.

I am perplexed on how this barely playable mess of a game was release in the first place. The loading alone takes forever.

Should you finally manage to get the game running and stop it from crashing all the time (and in order to do so, you must disable the steam overlay, change the resolution to 1280x720, change the video quality from high to medium, subtitles must be off, and try using Windows XP/7 compatibility mode), I seriously doubt you will find this small victory rewarding.
This game has one of the worst gameplay mechanics I have ever experienced.

The character you play as, Alex, is so sluggish when confronting enemies. The dodge mechanic is virtually useless, as it too is really slow, thus taking damage is, basically, inevitable. The fact that Alex steps away from enemies while fighting them with each hit, despite there being a lock-on mechanism, is also quite unfortunate.
The hit boxes are also a mess.

In conclusion – If you are a massive ‘’Silent Hill’’ fan and a completionist, then, I suppose, you’ll just have to suffer through.
If you are more on the casual side or, like myself, are getting re-introduced to the franchise – we have ‘’Silent Hill 2’’ the remake available on Steam now.
So, play that.

You are welcome.

Cheers!
