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.
To put it bluntly, Silent Hill f is one of my favourite entries in this once long-dormant survival horror franchise. Marking the first full brand-new entry in years. Moving away from the titular town to a remote Japanese village was a risky move and one that paid off incredibly well, thanks to a narrative that compels from the moment you boot the game up to the second or even third time you roll the credits. However, it’s not perfect, and some repetitive combat could do with some additional work, but the creative creature and environmental design more than make up for it.
Silent Hill f is a true Silent Hill. It's true that its setting and combat system—which is clumsy and boring—are very different to what we know on the series, but if we look beyond the superficial, we discover that it's an evolution of the themes and horror stories that the cursed town franchise has always handled. If we add to that an impressive Asian horror atmosphere, terrifying enemy designs, and an excellent and tragic story about the chains that a patriarchal society places on women, we have a true gem.

Silent Hill f is a truly beautiful horror and will have me contemplating its subliminal meanings for many moons to come.
Silent Hill f's frustrating first-half is outweighed by a brilliant, delirious second that's well worth the initial slog.
Silent Hill f presents a fresh new setting to explore and a fascinatingly dark story to unravel, but its melee-focussed combat takes a big swing that doesn’t quite land.
Silent Hill f is an excellent next step for this accomplished horror series. Proving that the horrors of Silent Hill aren't and shouldn't be restricted to the iconic American mountain town.
Silent Hill f is a bold and brutal new take on the classic series that is an absolute must-play for horror fans.
While Bloober Team’s remake of the legendary second entry was a positive step in the right direction, Silent Hill f feels like Konami finally cementing the survival horror icon’s return. It is an emotional, unpredictable, and unsettlingly beautiful glimpse into the worst parts of human nature. Hinako Shimizu’s journey is one designed to make the player ask uncomfortable yet necessary questions with no guarantees that you’ll enjoy the answers. But it’s through that bravery that Silent Hill f is able to achieve greatness.
Silent Hill f is fantastic at evolving that sense of unease and vagueness that's so defined the series in the past.
Perhaps my biggest gripe as someone who loves to be scared is that you’ve seen the extent of how Silent Hill f plans to frighten you within its first half; beyond that, it’s diminishing returns with very few surprises. I like Silent Hill f, but I was prepared to have a love affair with it, and I’m left feeling as foggy as its quiet, ill-fated village.
With its brilliant writing, haunting atmosphere, well-designed gameplay, and spectacular visuals, Silent Hill f sets a new benchmark for the Silent Hill series.
Hinako must navigate a fog-filled town and confront her darkest fears in a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Silent Hill f is a true-to-form return for the franchise. It features a tantalizing story and world that offers a frightening introspection on the nature of sanity. The series' inherent psychological nature is ever-present, and it's made more impactful with refinements to stamina and health. Unfortunately, combat can still feel slightly janky. Despite its flaws, this is exactly what Silent Hill is all about.
Silent Hill f is a visually striking evolution of Konami’s beloved horror series, packed with cryptic lore that’s a treat to unpack. While the pace of combat struggles to feel sleek amidst the atmospheric story, macabre enemy designs, and a spine-chilling soundtrack more than make up for what it lacks.
Silent Hill f is completely distinct from any other entry in the franchise, but also firmly committed to being faithful to Team Silent's visions, and it carried out those visions wonderfully. Not only is the game a horror masterpiece, it's a Silent Hill masterpiece, finally giving veteran fans the long-awaited relief we've been craving. While being a commentary on feminine fears and oppressive societies, Silent Hill f gives much for players to chew on, and even more to swallow, in the most visually striking and grotesque entry the series has seen yet. The first new Silent Hill entry in over a decade is everything fans could ever hope it to be and then some, cementing itself as an instant classic not just for the franchise, but for survival horror overall.
