It pleases my cold heart to see Silent Hill make a big comeback these past few years, with chilling titles like the wonderful Silent Hill 2 remake and the surprisingly engrossing spin-off, Silent Hill f.

Silent Hill f quickly won fans and us over for its disturbing story, interesting characters, and experimental shake-up of Silent Hill's trademarked gameplay.

"Silent Hill F is thoughtful in its themes, confident in its presentation, ambitious with its combat design, and unapologetic with its violence. It's a game that will stick with you after you reach any one of its conclusions, and the nightmare continues even further in New Game+ with additional story elements." ~ Jez Corden, Executive Editor

Windows Central Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

What makes Silent Hill f worth buying?

There are plenty of reasons as to why Silent Hill f is the fastest-selling game in the series, and is well worth risking getting nightmares to play. It's a well-made game that is guaranteed to chill you to the bone, regardless of whether you're a long-time Silent Hill fan or a newcomer to horror games in general.

It tells a horrific yet tragic tale of the young Shimizu Hinako, desperately trying to escape her haunted town of Ebisugaoka while searching for friends before they're hunted by monsters lurking within.

Silent Hill f also features a gorgeously detailed (and disturbing) art direction, backed up with atmospheric sound-design and music to truly make you feel like you're alone and trapped in a world where your worst nightmares have come to life.

On top of that, Silent Hill f is also bold enough to try innovating the series' gameplay formula with devious, mind-bending puzzles, a more in-depth combat system, and special story cutscenes that only unlock in NG+ runs.

For the most part, it's a successful departure that's fun to play while staying true to the themes and horrors of Silent Hill. However, the combat system doesn't seem to be balanced well on harder difficulty levels, where enemies are more frequent.

However, that doesn't stop Silent Hill f from being a great Xbox title and one I personally recommend for lovers of survival horror games, especially now that the Day One Edition of the game is on sale for $49.94 at Amazon, instead of its normal MSRP of $69.99 for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Buying the Day One Edition will net you Silent Hill f along with several DLC items for it. These include a White Sailor School Uniform costume, an Omamori: Peony accessory, and an Item Pack containing the Shriveled Abura-age, Divine Water, and First Aid Kit items.
