Playing this feels like Konami grabbed the creators of Netflix's "13 Reasons Why" and asked them to make a 2-hour Anti-Suicide ad in video game form. Instead of blowing my mind like PT which is what they were hoping to replicate, this infuriates me. If THIS is how Konami views Silent Hill then I have zero hopes for the future of this franchise

Playing the Unrated version on PC, part of it is straight-up porn parody and it's one of those things that should be fun but for some reason leaves a bad taste in my mouth
There's no denying that THIS is the pure definition of a cinematic gaming experience featuring some of the most jaw-dropping visuals and animations I've seen in any video game to date. That being said, part of me wishes the game evolved a bit more for being a higher-budget sequel or at the very least, better pacing with the walking segments.
I'm split down the middle when it comes to the "walking simulator" genre but Hellblade has been the one exception I really enjoyed. Some people have pointed out how the combat is simplified further, but in trade off we got some of the most impressive action set pieces that feels seamless. There's fewer puzzles, but I'm also glad that I don't have to waste too much time with those perspective puzzles.
There's a lot of tiny nitpicks when it comes to which direction this should have gone as a "video game", especially one that took WAY TOO LONG to come out (this was literally the very first XSX game announced back in 2019).
However if you even remotely liked the first Hellblade, you should absolutely check it out as this is equivalent to watching a 4hr Norse epic that could be played at film festivals
