SILENT HILL: Townfall

I won't write a massive review because I don't think this needs one. To put it simply, I give this game a 6 out of 10. The story and visuals are seriously peak. The gameplay? Not so much. Mechanically, it's just a clunky mess. Buy it on a big sale and it's worth it. Anything more than $10 and you overpaid.

This game seems like it's great at the beginning, I had so much hope, but the story is straightforward, very straightforward, and on New Game + you don't get to skip the cutscenes. You have to watch them all over again. The mechanic detrimining endings makes sense but I personally hate it. On top of that here was a single boss battl. They could have given us another even for the bad ending, that would have been way more fun. Alas they did not. People complained about the variety of enemies in silent hill f but that game was great and this one stinks man. Got my expectations and hopes so high in the beginning just to let me down. L game, don't waste your money and time.

Close enough. Welcome back, Alien: Isolation.

Good game, but too short for the price it offers I recommend getting it at a discount 1st 70% of the puzzles were fun and entertaining, but the last ones were atrocious, I understand difficult puzzles, but why do i need a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering to figure them out (truth be told I had to resort to "guides" to even understand what I'm being asked to do) Overall, 6/10 Dont get it at current price, wait for sale

The environmental design in this game is absolutely stellar. I would argue that this is the most visually impressive Silent Hill game. I really liked the story/themes. Simon is sooooo adorable; I recommend the game based on that alone. The combat is pretty bad even by Silent Hill standards and the stealth is terribly barebones. I do also think the different endings were fumbled a little, I found them disappointing. I honestly recommend just watching the other endings on Youtube. Also had a few stuttering issues. Despite this, I do think the game is worth playing!!

I really enjoyed this game! To me, it felt extremely claustrophobic (I think the first-person view contributes to this), and the otherworld was very oppressive. Visually, the game is stunning, and even though the stealth mechanics can get a little tedious at times, I still had a great time with it. It has a lot of the DNA of the original SH games, from the story to the world (especially the otherworld) and the puzzles. The resource management is also pretty good, and overall I think it does a really good job of preserving what makes a SH game while also not being afraid to experiment with new mechanics such as the first-person perspective, the new location, the CRTV, and the heavily stealth-reliant gameplay. Good one, Screen Burn! Would like to see another SH game from them.
