Silent Hill f Reviews
Silent Hill F is a great survival horror title, and a true return to the classic series from Konami. It mixes things up well throughout its roughly 10-hour runtime, and I enjoyed both what the more grounded and the more hellish areas of the game had to offer. As a relative newbie to Silent Hill I can't wait to see where things go from here, and I really think developer NeoBards has what it takes to learn from F and improve on it for what's next. Silent Hill is finally back on Xbox, and it was worth the wait.
SILENT HILL f is nearly perfect, delivering a compelling story and haunting atmosphere. With incredible audio design, a fresh and immersive Japanese setting, enjoyable combat, and satisfying puzzles, it's a must-play for long-time fans and newcomers.
Despite its combat system flaws, Silent Hill captures the spirit of the series and offers a thrilling, dark adventure. The franchise is back in the game for good!

Silent Hill f brings back the classic Silent Hill in a unique setting in 1960s Japan. The game looks both beautiful and unsettling at the same time, and the story is full of mysteries that are neatly uncovered over time and playthroughs.

An oppressive atmosphere. An unsettling story that will keep you guessing from beginning to end. Engaging combat. Stunning visuals. A fantastic soundtrack. Silent Hill f has all of these, making it one of the best entries in the series yet.
Everything the Silent Hill franchise has offered over the years is here in Silent Hill f. The chaos and fear takes over you at every turn, and while it has some performance issues on the PS5 Pro, it doesn't diminish how artistically beautiful, fun, and horrifying this game is. Without a doubt, a title that should be in the collection of any gamer and fan of the genre.

Silent Hill f is a slow-burn horror game that doesn't put its best foot forward, but once it has its hooks in you, they're not coming out. The compelling and well-crafted story does a fantastic job of drawing you in and keeping you invested, even potentially through multiple playthroughs. The combat mechanics can feel a tad overdone. I think Silent Hill f is the best entirely new entry in the franchise in ages, and while it has its flaws, it shows that there's still plenty of life in Konami's franchise.
A haunting and harrowing journey into a seemingly quiet Japanese town that despite its unfamiliarity manages to captivate its audience to elicit both empathy and horror.

Silent Hill f is everything that should have been to bring the franchise back to its peak. We are faced with a game that innovatively utilizes the principles, rules and identity dimensions of its series and portrays some of them more broadly than before. The game's narrative is engaging, deep and complex, its meaningful symbolism and integrity appear in the dimensions of design and narrative returned, breathtaking atmosphere and wonderful music. Silent Hill f is a bold, intelligent and deep game that tries to try new approaches and move the franchise forward in a meaningful way.

SILENT HILL f blends the foggy, oppressive atmosphere of classic Silent Hill with the hallmarks of Japanese horror, delivering an experience that is both aesthetically rich and deeply unsettling. The narrative depth brought by Ryukishi07’s writing, combined with the intricate design of Ebisugaoka town, its overarching symbolism, and Hinako’s diaries, elevates the game far beyond a mere spin-off. That said, the question of whether it really needed to carry the Silent Hill name remains open for debate; it could just as easily have stood on its own as a Japanese horror title in the vein of Fatal Frame.

The developers of the game paint on their canvas terrifying and shocking moments that will remain in our memories for a long time. With all its positive points, this work becomes one of the best horror works released in 2025.

Silent Hill f is a compelling yet flawed return for Konami's iconic horror series: narratively strong and visually striking, it immerses players in a haunting psychological nightmare set in the eerie Japanese town of Ebisugaoka. Hinako's touching and unsettling story is the highlight, but the experience is held back by basic combat, limited enemy types, and a design that requires multiple playthroughs to fully understand the plot without enough gameplay variety. Despite interesting ideas and solid presentation, the game loses momentum over time, feeling repetitive and lessening its emotional impact.

Silent Hill f takes us to 1960s Japan with a dark, symbolic, and psychologically deep story. It combines exploration, clever puzzles, and more complex combat than previous entries, while still retaining the essence of the series.

SILENT HILL f is one of the best survival horror games out there with its constant surprises, pitch-perfect game worlds, and exceptional blend of combat and puzzles; sometimes, both at the exact same time. ⛩️
Silent Hill f might feel more like a side project than a real development. Its best parts are the mood and the idea behind it, not how it's put together. Its readiness to take risks should not be brushed off, though. Even though it's not perfect, Silent Hill f is a good example of how horror thrives on making people feel bad, and how failure can sometimes leave a lasting impact.
Silent Hill offers a fantastic horror adventure that moves away from the original franchise. The game features outstanding graphics and sound, along with action-focused gameplay.

Silent Hill f’s transit to a fictional 1960s Japan changes the tone of the series you’d come to expect, but delivers by pushing boundaries in the themes it tackles. The game leaves nostalgia at the door, bringing with it a high-tension and emotional experience with ambition. Silent Hill f does more than just scare; it lingers.
While Silent Hill f has an interesting premise and some fun puzzles, the combat and design decisions make actually seeing the story to completion more work than it needs to be.
Silent Hill f took us on a brutal, wonderful, and brilliant journey, thanks to its superb artistic direction and a change of course that was as daring as it was effective. As players of early survival horror games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Silent Hill f is exactly what we expected from a modern horror game. It offers both accessible and challenging puzzles, gruesome monsters (although we would have liked even more variety) and enormous replayability thanks to multiple endings, all enhanced by high-quality graphics, excellent performance—with very slight and sporadic frame rate drops (at least on standard PS5)—and smart features that help in terms of quality of life and bring it up to today's standards. Silent Hill f is a masterful horror game that is on par with other “masterpieces” of the survival horror genre, and we highly recommend giving it a try.
