Dark, overwhelming, richly built and demanding.

Game RantDalton CooperSep 202510/10Silent Hill f is a bold and brutal new take on the classic series that is an absolute must-play for horror fans.

TheSixthAxisNick PetrasitiSep 202510/10Silent Hill f isn't just a return to form, it's a landmark entry in the series. Konami. NeoBards and Ryukishi07 have knocked it out of the park. For me, this isn't just Game of the Year material, it's an integral piece of Silent Hill history.

GuardianKeith StuartOct 20255/5 starsMost of all, this is that rarest of things: a horror game that actually has something to say. Rather than simply throwing jumpscares and black-haired ghost maidens at you until you submit, it uses rural mythology and superstition as a lens through which to examine the harms of patriarchy and the rigidly gendered expectations it thrusts on to teenagers. It also proves that the survival horror genre still has so much to give, 30 years after its inception. You must come to Ebisugaoka as soon as you can, and stay at least a week, maybe longer.

Slant MagazineJustin ClarkSep 20252.5/5 starsCombined with a narrative that feels like all the worst tendencies of YA manga playing out as po-faced as possible, even the stellar art direction and sound design can’t stop the game from feeling wasteful.

WellPlayedJames WoodOct 20256/10While a conceptually strong step forward for the Silent Hill franchise, and the survival horror genre as a whole, Silent Hill f's awkward narrative execution and outright poorly designed combat ensure even its best intentions are tangled up and ultimately lost in the fog.
