I can't stop thinking about Silent Hill FField The last record of Konami in the long -term franchise of the horror of survival, this time, developed by Neobars Entertainment, is the most exciting game that I played throughout the year. From his anxious knowledge and connections to Japanese mythology, to his strangely upsetting the growth of characters, each of which runs along the foggy streets of the village of Ebisugaok, opens the main revelations about the city and its inhabitants.
Spoiler warning!
For this article, I tried to save spoilers for Silent Hill F Minimum. But if you are not at all familiar with the game, I strongly recommend blinding before reading this work, since I touched the narrative elements and topics that become obvious only after you are stuck. Consider that this is a warning about the light of the spoiler, if you have even the slightest interest in Silent Hill F.
This is not just the usual case of detecting the moments of omen on repeated passages – although, of course, this is a lot. Quicker, Silent Hill F It has one of the best implementations of the new plus game, in which I played for a long time. Taking a sheet from Nier play, Silent Hill F It requires you to play it several times to collect a complete picture.
However, this is not as much as it seems. New game plus in Silent Hill F Significantly changes the situation. Many kat scenes are played out in the same way, enemy placements may vary, completely new areas are opened for you, and some puzzles even have different solutions for you that you can fight. Although there is a skeleton of the main passage, all these elements guarantee that you never know what to expect in subsequent passages.
But this is not only Silent Hill F The approach to the new game plus that makes me sing her praise. Even in accordance with serial standards, its plot is crushing gloomy. Mirogi is most of all, drug addiction, abandonment and control. Everyone forms the life of a deeply tragic chief actor of the game, and at the same time pleasant and heartbreaking, to testify the protagonist Shimizu Hino, fight with horrors in order to overcome his personal demons.
Silent Hill F Maybe my game of the year, if only because its totality lives without rent in my head.
Fits in
If you are not familiar with the game, first, think about playing it for yourself. I would not like to spoil the experience for you here. Silent Hill F does not take place in a fictional city located in the state of Maine in the United States. Instead, we were delivered to Japan in the 1960s, in a sleepy, as well as in the fictional rural city of Ebisugaoka.
Our main character is the high school student Shimizu Hinako, a girl who despises the requirements and expectations of the patriarchal norms of the era, that she saw how she was overwhelmed in childhood with her hostility to the game with dolls and her preference to hang out with the boys. For example, in childhood, Hinako and her best friend Shu often played “Cosmic Wars” with each other – a difficult game of pretense, in which they are fighting an imaginary alien force.
Hino's magazine, which you advise to find out more about characters, locations and notes on puzzles, everything is written to her. We not only see that she is an excellent artist -Eskiz, Hino is not shy about to get out of her complaints and disappointments with Ebisugaoka, her parents and even her friends to some extent.
One thing, which I find quite brilliant in relation to Hino's personality, is how she without effort weaves into her capabilities as the protagonist of horror in survival. Its background, like a trophy star of the track, is of great importance to explain the almost trouble -free well of endurance and the ability to defend itself in battle.
Largely like Harry, James and Hizer in front of her in the city of Saul -Hill, the “curse” that is happening, Ebisugaoka seems to be adapted around the past Hino, her fears and the injuring moments through which she survived. Her father at home is offensive, while her mother is the one whom she describes as “miserable” lives meekly in the shadow of her father. This is a dreary existence that threatens to absorb it at every given possibility.
Fox Tale
Hinako's horrors come across Ebisugaoka – from the dolls owning knives to the scarecrows, boiled in school clothes – is not even close to being the most terrible in Silent Hill F. Hinako’s houses and social life are one thing, but the insidious obsession with superstition is also manifested to make its existence a living hell.
Perhaps the primary antagonistic force in Silent Hill F This is like in this series – some kind of supernatural cult, which is often called the Fox clan. They inhabit the strange otherworldly kingdom, into which Hinako is transported throughout history whenever it comes out of consciousness.
Playing the paranoid superstitions of the Ebisugaoca and his reverence for the foxes as a creature, the clan seems to be a well -known essence from what we can collect from documents scattered about the city. Their main goal is to fool around from young girls, turning them into a bride and inevitably offering them as victims. To be stupid, they are vile.
In fact, this is the main struggle of Hino's journey is a force so powerful that it can succeed in eliminating the personality (both physically and metaphorically) even someone, as independent as it is. My heart sank every time Hinako entered the bizarre sphere of Fox clan, because it would inevitably ultimately lose some of itself (again, both physically and metaphorically) in the service of their goals.
Hino's journey brutally grieves. Which is not surprising, in fact, given the previous works of the leading writer Ryukishi07, including painful Higurashi when they cry Visual novels that are engaged in similar topics. But there is at least a shreds of hope, since each new game plus runs after your first edges of the passage, when the liba is closer to the truth of the Ebisugaoca.
Again and again
Silent Hill F Take the New Game Plus (Ng+) incredibly refreshes, especially in the era of games, where such a mode is often considered as a belated thought or, even worse, stored for updating after launch. IN Silent Hill F, NG+ has all the usual distinctive features. You will transfer things such as your inventory, updates of statistics, documents, omamori, faces, in the journal and some key elements.
Here, however, the New Game Plus is not just a bonus regime; a way to take revenge for you Silent Hill F monstrous horrors with a much higher Hinako. No, the subsequent new game plus will be absolutely a requirement if you want to reveal the totality of the story of the game. Again, not different from how Nier Replicant And Automatic nier Process repeated passages.
Silent Hill F In total, it has four endings (well, five, if you consider the end of the UFO joke), the last of which is the “true” conclusion of the game. But in order to get there, you will need to be a witness to at least two other endings, including the one on which you locked at your first move.
And this is a damn trip to get there. Katzars expand, providing additional context and hidden details. New documents that shed light on the city and its history can be collected. There is also no shortage of new rooms that can be discovered for yourself, new fears to catch you by surprise, and a common sense of great concern, since the areas that once seemed to grow, that there was an increase in mind, on mind.
There are also some brilliant strokes with the quality of life. The main menu “Guide at the end” (which you can view after winning the game once), will list the criteria to achieve each conclusion. And if you want to speed up the situation by missing the cat -scenes, the hint will tell you whether the one you watch has changed, has changed, saying that this is new.
I just can't get enough Silent Hill F. This is one of The best horror games I played recently and firmly find a place in the three best Silent Hill titles next to the original Silent Hill 2 And Silent Hill 3. The rural Japanese situation is such a refreshing change, and the integration of the history of the country and mythology plays extremely well Silent Hill F The brand of horror.
If you are looking for a deeply impressive and unforgettable horror experience this season Halloween, I cannot recommend Silent Hill F enough and you can pick it up today for PS5IN Xbox Series X.IN Series sAnd PC via Steam.
