Prepare to confront your deepest psychological fears and encounter terrifying, grotesque monsters lurking in the shadows. This is the essence of the renowned horror franchise, and Silent Hill f flawlessly captures it. Set in the eerie, fictional Japanese town of Ebisugaoka, this latest installment marks a significant leap forward for the iconic series. Even better, you can grab it right now at a substantial discount, allowing you to experience one of the best horror games in recent memory without paying full price, just in time for the spooky season.
From its opening moments, Silent Hill f meets all expectations for a fresh entry, proving that it remains a formidable contender to Resident Evil, decades after its debut. You step into the shoes of Hinako, a troubled teenager who discovers her hometown enveloped in a dense, mysterious fog. For anyone familiar with the series, this is usually a dire omen – and we won’t spoil the reasons why.
Adding to the tension, Hinako is considerably weaker than the monstrous adversaries she faces. As you progress, these unsettling, mannequin-like enemies evolve, becoming more terrifying and challenging. Forget about pistols or shotguns for mass extermination; your survival depends on an array of melee weapons, from sturdy steel pipes to sharp axes, as you navigate Silent Hill f’s unnerving inhabitants.
As noted in a recent review, “Silent Hill f expertly reinterprets the beloved horror series for a contemporary audience, serving as both a heartfelt tribute and a powerful vision for the franchise’s future.” While only time will tell if it truly ushers in a new golden age for Silent Hill, it certainly lays an incredibly strong groundwork.
Thankfully, you don’t need to wait for Halloween to enjoy Silent Hill f at a reduced price. It’s available for just $52.49 / £52.49 through Fanatical. That’s an impressive 25% off a brand-new release, especially one that has garnered such high praise and is already considered one of this year’s top PC games. It’s a deal so good, you won’t want to run away from it – even if the game itself is full of infected creatures.
