Fix probably is capping fps in the pc graphical options such as nvidia panel/graphic setting/program setting/silent hill homing/max fps 30 or 36 ... save... and still don't enjoy this game... but hey, OG experience without crash issue

Silent Hill Homecoming is the clear difference between a group of artists using a medium to create and realize a world otherwise not possible vs corporations using that identity to sell video games. This game is a desecrated corpse propped up in the pursuit of making money.

The writing on this can be described as painfully literal in a world that has been built in the abstract. The art looks nice, but is mostly without thought and not relevant to the narrative at all. Certain stand-outs feel refreshing, but lack any punch when combined with a, frankly, boring and contrived world. It feels more like an amusement park where you're supposed to clap at the things you remember, rather than think about the things you see and hear. The star attractions don't do enough to distract from the fact that you're the product here. The ending doesn't really make any sense, and it feels as if it's constructed to try and replicate the highs of Silent Hill 2. It does not land at all, and weakens a lot of the themes regarding abuse.

Silent Hill has never really been strong in the combat department, so I wouldn't hold it too much against this game normally. Sadly though, the combat seems to be the biggest focus here, so it should be important to note that it's somehow worse than the previous games. This game does it's best to try and replicate Resident Evil 4 in presentation while trying to play to the combat structure of the previous games. It fails on almost every single level. The camera and focus of the combat is very clearly focused on ranged combat, as Resident Evil 4 is, but the game restricts ranged ammunition much more than previous entries. As such you're left with a clunky combat system that ends up with just knife spam by the end of the game.

Also Pyramid Head's inclusion in this game as Bogeyman just hurts the game. Not only is it lazy, but it's not satisfying at all. You can tell there was debate on the inclusion of "Bogeyman" which lead to just 2 occurrences that is very much not satisfying. Fan service drivel.

P.S. the game does not work well at all. If you wish to play, you should download Unknownproject's patch. This was not a factor in the negative rating, but it would warrant one on it's own if the fix was not (relatively) easy.

Its good game 6/10

this game if you want i guess a easy silent hill that is tell tales like or whatever play it if you just want it for easy or achievment but it is very glitchy for me

Runs extremely poorly on my system, and not due to lack of specs. Combat is unsatisfying, the psychological scares are gone, the story is more fit for a D-list straight to DVD horror film than a Silent Hill game. Also, spoilers : You don't even play an actual war veteran. Your character just LARPS as one. Can you imagine what the OG team silent could have done with a war veteran's PTSD?

Great game and even better Silent Hill, don't listen to the haters, play and make your own opinion.

Scarlett is one of the best and most immersive bosses ever and if you manage to fight her for the first time ever on hard mode with 30/40% hp in total with no medkits, you will understand what true terror stands for.

Play on hard for the best experience.

edit: I've just seen people crying about bugs or fan made patches and tbf I have no [REDACTED] idea wtf are they yapping about. Not even single game breaking bug (1 or 2 in total, fun ragdolls, nothing else) + 1 random crash after cut scene for the entire game and after restart worked perfectly. Yeah, I don't have any fan patches, maybe that's why it works for me.

doesnt even work

Played through the game on xbox, was curious if the PC version offered more fixes for the graphics. It did 'kind-of-sort-of,' but an already lame carbon copy of a silent hill game won't be fixed by graphics. I don't know how to sugar coat this; the games bad. I used to describe it as a fan game made by a generic western studio. Now that time's passed, even the things that were good or passable about this game have shrunk. It's just boring and insulting to both the player and to Konami. Easily the worst game in the series. 3/10 for the crashes and how poorly it's aged, it's still a complete experience but man you can be doing literally anything else with your time.
