A full-fledged Silent Hill game!!! I don't really understand why it's been so hated these past few days it's been out, but I absolutely loved it.

I mean, of course is not everything I wanted from a new SH game, but it's more than I was expecting for sure, and it's got all the right tropes of the saga; like the alternate reality where everything is all metal and grotesque imagery, or the chasing monster that looks like it's tailored for the MC, and specially, the psychological horror that serves as a metaphor to talk about strong themes.

I honestly thought less of this game a bit before finishing it, but when I reached the end, it was all worth it for me. Specially when I saw that (at least a part of) the team silent is back for this project!

I'm not sure if I'm into the idea of Silent Hill being kind of a physical hallucination rather than a physical town where nightmares come to life like in the old games, but I feel like this is where Konami is going from now on... And to be honest, I'm excited for the future of the saga! Still, I'm skeptical... Konami is still Konami...
