Critic Reviews for Silent Hill: Townfall
Silent Hill: Townfall is just the right mix of old and new. It has classic psychological horror and grotesque monsters with the added benefit of the CRTV as a new puzzle solving and stealth tool.
Silent Hill's stellar revival continues as new developer Screen Burn melds stealth, meticulous world design, and a dash of social realism for a different sort of survival horror.
Like the intravenous needle permanently jutting out of its hero’s wrist, Silent Hill: Townfall gives this long running series a welcome shot in the arm.
It doesn’t quite reach the level of enjoyment I got out of Silent Hill f last year; however, there are a lot of elements that work incredibly well here, making this another strong entry in the franchise that I’d absolutely love to see inspire future games in the series.
Townfall, like Silent Hill f before it, expresses what I love most about the comeback.
Silent Hill: Townfall is a new take on the franchise created in a partnership between developer Screen Burn, Annapurna Interactive and Konami.
Silent Hill: Townfall is the best the survival horror series has been in 25 years. Developer Screen Burn takes the series into first-person with a new remote Scottish town setting, breathing fresh energy into the franchise. But while some things change, Silent Hill's phenomenal atmosphere, visuals, and sound design remain. It's a horrific, often unsettling experience, but it's one that I never wanted to stop playing. $49.94 at Amazon $49.99 at Target Check Best Buy
With an exceptional atmosphere that keeps you hooked from beginning to end, an interesting story focused on a corporation disaster, solid puzzle design, and immersive stealth gameplay, Silent Hill: Townfall succeeds on nearly every front.
