Silent Hill Townfall review: a great horror experience

We start the week with reviews for Silent Hill: Townfall dropping. This first-person horror game by Annapurna Interactive releases this September 24 on PS5 and PC.

The gaming press has already delivered its verdict, and Silent Hill: Townfall has Metacritic average of 81% on PS5 (56 reviews) and 80% on PC (21 reviews). The OpenCritic score currently stands at 82% based on 33 reviews. These results may, of course, change over the coming hours.

Reviewers noted that Silent Hill: Townfall features a remarkable horror atmosphere, interesting puzzles, and an extremely well-crafted soundtrack. The game is also visually stunning, and the first-person perspective works perfectly.

Sadly, the roster of enemies is rather limited, the story issomewhat predictable story, there are some clunky gameplay moments, and supporting characters could be more developed. Certain stealth sections also prove to be quite frustrating.
