Today’s game is Silent Hill f again. I spent all day yesterday talking about why i’m playing this, so instead today i’lll talk about the game itself. Primarily my first point that springs to mind while playing this: I love the game, probably one of my favorite from that year, but it feels very “un-Silent Hill”. I know i’m not the most credible to give that opinion as i’ve only played Silent Hill 2 and half of the First one, but i think it’s the setting. It feels like they just drop the fog in and call it a Silent Hill game. I just want to reclarify though, this is not a knock against the game, i still majorly respect it.
The enemies do a good job though of just freaking me out, all the fleshy pulsating holes and stuff are unsettling, and these Scare Crows have me always on edge. I feel like the moment i turn around i’m gonna get jumped by one of them. Scary as fuck, remind me of the Mannequins from silent hill 2 except these ones love to play the long game.
I pushed on today and made it to the part where you go into the two wings of the building to unlock the door. I also collected some achievements. I’m using that as a benchmark to measure 100% for me, which is my goal. As i don’t want to go out of my way to collect every little document. Suffice to say i have 13 achievements left and i should knock out all but the story ones in this playthrough as long as i play my cards right.

I played through it when it came out. It was rough at launch in terms of difficulty. They rebalanced it and it’s much better now I hear. Do tell us your final thoughts when you’re finished.
