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
