Played for the first time recently after having bought the game years ago. I found myself enjoying the storyline and life sim parts a lot more than the repetitive dungeon crawling RPG portions.

If Silent Hill were a movie franchise, this would be the direct-to-video sequel made by a team that had no idea what made the originals work. It feels like a tale about social media dependence and cyber bullying written by a 50 year old that hasn't used social media since the Myspace days. The game spends its entire runtime mercilessly beating you over the head with its themes, leaving no room for interpretation.

Finally got around to playing this after having my PS5 for over a year now. It was a fun trip that had a lot of cool nods to the histroy of PS. Worth a play and the platinum trophy was very easy to get.
