not really sure what i think of this game. may be a case of overhype for me but it is very difficult to see how this is treated as one of the best video games ever made for some people. I'm very glad i played it though. I had a lot of fun just playing the game itself. Apart from the sections wandering around the outdoors of silent hill, especially later on in the game, and pretty much all the boss fights absolutely sucked, consisting of clumsily running from corner to corner of a small tight room and shooting a shotgun like 50 times. But exploring any actual indoors section was always very fun and engaging for me, even if any of the enemies you face really never ever pose any real threat. Like sh1, i was never really scared by the game, but it did get me in parts. The sound design is still absolutely immaculate, and everytime i was even a little bit spooked, it was due to the wonderful work that was cleary put into the sound design. Story wise is where im really mixed though. I suppose I didnt really get parts of it. I don't really understand the role of Eddie and Angela for example. And voice acting wise.....I know for some people it really enhances whats there, and they believe its completely on purpose. I really really fail to see how either could be true. It really brought me out of many scenes, especially any scene with angela my gosh. James' journey and discovrey never really hit me hard emotionally throughout most of the story, and i could never fully invest myself in it. The ending letter was really the most effective part of the story and it felt like everyhting before never really lived up to it. Although again the va work really brought most of that down for me

TLDR: Very glad i played game and very positive but also feeling kinda mixed and perhaps a tad disappointed......
