Silent Hill Townfall (PS5) review: satisfying horror and combat, but frustrating puzzles
This grounded Scottish adventure has a unique identity, but it can't outrun its shortcomings.
Silent Hill: Townfall is a first-person survival horror game that immerses players in a remote Scottish town, 1996. The protagonist, Simon Ordell, must navigate through the fog-covered town, uncover its secrets, and survive against terrifying monsters. The game, developed by Konami, Annapurna Interactive, and Screen Burn, offers a chilling experience akin to Alien: Isolation, with enemies that can detect players if they're not cautious.
Players can stealthily avoid enemies or fight them using melee weapons and firearms. The game's atmosphere, reminiscent of Silent Hill 2, is enhanced by a CRT handheld device that guides players through puzzles and reveals story elements. Silent Hill: Townfall delivers a fresh take on the series, combining classic horror elements with modern favorites, making it a must-play for fans and newcomers alike.
