The story is predictably boring and shallow, any form of depth that could be perceived in it has no real basis whatsoever and is only through rigorous over-analyzation by fans who haven’t had a single good Silent Hill release in decades, all the characters with the exception of Mary are badly written, not to mention the dialogue feels as if it’s been jotted down by an emotionless robot, the intrigue is stale and you have no real reason to care for either Mary nor James.

The voice acting is as alive as a fish out of water, it’s completely monotonous, nobody talks like that unless they’re basement dwellers who haven’t had any form of social interaction in decades, no wonder gamers adore it.

The gameplay is awful, it’s existence is a disrespect to any videogame with well thought out and complex mechanics and controls. No. I don’t care for your made-up excuses such as “ B-But James is a civilian who can’t handle weapons!” Not only is that a stupid form of applying logic to video game mechanics where they shouldn’t be applied, like in-gameplay zombie bites in Resident Evil turning you into a zombie, that would be a disastrously boring game and basically what Silent Hill 2 ended up doing, but these design choices are not even intentional, there isn’t a single interview with any developer or director that says they are, you came up with these excuses to protect the game from any form of scrutiny and criticism because you’re manchildren who cannot handle any opposing opinion whatsoever.

The game has a very slow start that even discouraged me at first but once it really starts, the pace doesn't stop until the end. The graphics are much better than Man Of Medan (and this time without a rendering bug🙏🏻) and the story too, which from the beginning keeps you stuck to know what the fuck is going on, the characters are even good and some well developed but not so much to make you care about their death.

I saw that a lot of people criticize the plot twist of this game for not being a real thing but in my opinion it's a good plot twist... it's just a poor man dealing with his mental problems, it's very creative. I just hate the fact that nothing you do with the characters in the game matters since it's all a hallucination... it sucks.
