Silent Hill f is taking the gaming world by storm
The Silent Hill series had been quiet for a long time, and fans had kept hopes of a new installment alive for years. The arrival of Silent Hill f at the end of the wait not only marks a return, but also a major resonance. The results from its first day paint a promising picture for the series’ future.
Silent Hill f is on track for a sales record
According to Konami’s announcement, Silent Hill f sold one million copies in just one day after its release. This figure includes both digital and physical sales. The fact that the previous installment in the series, Silent Hill 2 Remake, reached the same milestone in just three days makes f’s pace even more impressive. This clearly demonstrates how fans’ longing has been met.
However, Silent Hill f isn’t entirely without its problems. Performance issues are among the most frequently cited issues by players. Frame rate drops and optimization issues are reported, particularly due to the use of Unreal Engine 5. Like many recent games, this game hasn’t escaped criticism from a technical standpoint.
The gameplay is also a subject of some debate. The difficulty balance, which occasionally tilts against players, the density of enemies in certain areas, and the cumbersome inventory management are among the most frequently cited issues. There’s also criticism that the combat system isn’t deep enough. However, despite all this, the game’s atmosphere and story are receiving high praise.
The Japanese press has been extremely positive about Silent Hill f. Famitsu gave it its highest score to date. International reviews echo a similar sentiment. All these assessments prove that Silent Hill f isn’t just a nostalgia project. Konami’s risks, despite the technical issues, have paid off. If these shortcomings are addressed with performance patches in the future, it won’t surprise anyone that Silent Hill f will be a game that will be talked about for years to come.
