(26/26) Really liking it so far. I do think RIGHT NOW I prefer SH2R, but there's some areas I think SHf surpasses 2R, & I've still got a lot of game left. Excited to play more tonight, will write spoiler-free impressions when I beat it the first time, then spoiler thoughts after I get all 5 endings.

(25/26) -I one day will use the "focus" feature, for now I've barely needed or touched. So neutral point as haven't engaged much with it.

I don't think anything is bad so far, & some of this I 100% suspect to change as I get further in. Especially the character & story stuff.

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(24/26) -So far I'm not big on the sanity system. It hasn't bothered me too much, but can't say I'm a fan. On Hard at least in those red chasing sequences it feels a bit off in its balance. It usually is zero problem for me until those. Mechanic as a whole is "eh" for me so far.

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(23/26) another in the future.

EH:
-I could do without the "Faith gacha", don't particularly care for it.
-I don't like the segments where everything goes red & you run. I've encountered three so far, none are miserable or anything, but I couldn't say I really liked them either.

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(22/26) hard. But then it also helps build tension & "oh fuck" moments to keep you on your toes in combat. So overall putting it in okay.
-Weapon durability. I get the idea behind it, but I could really take it or leave it. So far I mostly just let weapons break so I can pick up

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(21/25) not bad, like it has some fun in it, but it does feel kinda' unfitting, & not particularly great enough to justify itself. Not mad it's there, just like, "Okay?"
-Stamina (it helps balance the game often, but at some points it feels a little harsh or unfair at least on

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(20/25) for a looong stretch without one. Autosaving makes up for it, but feels kinda' weird.
-Some parts don't feel like SH; There's sections which I think are kinda' weird or maybe even unfitting for SH. The second dark shrine section is what sticks out to me right now, it's

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(19/24) -Scares; Not super scary, but I've never found the Silent Hill games that scary & this one has made me panic a few times).

OKAY:
-Save points. This is not a penalty, but the save points are placed weirdly. Sometimes there's three close together, then you don't find one

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(18/24) -Bosses; I've only fought one boss, so just judging off that, First boss was decently good, feels very Souls-like to me though where nothing else in the game has so far.
-Exploration; It hasn't topped my favorite exploration stuff in SH yet, but it's fun to explore.

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(17/24) rather simply, I'd say like the start of SH3 but maybe a bit more going on & a bit more Higurashi/anime toned. You can feel it's placing pieces & building to something slow-burn style though.
-Combat; I actually like the combat so far. To see if that changes or not!

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(16/24) GOOD:
-Characters; I like them well enough so far, but not in love with them yet. Still a lot of game to go, this could change, but they're decently well written & characteristic.
-Story; There's a lot more going on than I'm privy to I'm sure, but the story starts off

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(15/24) inventory, like SH4 did, but not only does SHf have it, I think it does it super well. Increasing inventory slots feel great, I actually ended up liking the equipable skills, the faith system how you can give up to work for upgrades, have to pick what you hold onto, etc.

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(14/24) game, I've only done three "optional side content" things so far, but I LOVED all three. They're 100% worth doing. They remind me of Downpour in the best possible way.
-Inventory Management, I really wasn't expecting this one, Silent Hill doesn't usually have managing your

(13/24) I think might be the best executed version of what might be seen as a "horror game monster trope". If they were done worse, this would be a negative, but they were so well executed they came around to being awesome.
-Side Content; I desperately hope there's more in the

(12/24) that only a few monsters in the series I think have achieved before. Others are good to okay so far. I also will mention there's two types of monsters that vaguely are similar to "common" horror monster types you see in horror games, but with their own unique spins &

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(11/24) -Monsters; So far I've liked them. This ascended to great for me because I think the first time you encounter two of the monsters they have a "tense" & kinda' scary presence

AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem @duskgolem.bsky.social · 21d

(10/21) Music; The OST was done by four composers, Akira Yamoaka being one of them, two composers from 07th Expansion stuff, & the music like the last point I made, the music feels collaborative between them. It's a great OST, just Silent Hill has a high bar & not fully pushed to my favorite yet.
