Silent Hill Homecoming PC Game 2008 review:
The game tells the story of Alex Shepard, who returns to the foggy city of Shepards Glen.
At home, he embarks on a search for his missing brother Joshua, which leads him to Silent Hill. Falling into alternate realities, Alex and his companions face numerous monsters. The narrative branch reveals the secrets of the past of the protagonist and the founders of the city, as well as illuminates the activities of the cult performing ritual sacrifices. The gameplay focuses on exploring the world, battling enemies and solving puzzles. The main innovation of the gameplay is an updated combat system that allows you to use various attack combinations and counterattacks, including by QTE.
Almost no aspect of the game has been unambiguously received by critics. Game reviewers were annoyed by the change in Japanese developers, which also changed the direction of horror. The plot was described as less multi-layered, not containing symbolism and not holding in tension, but at the same time more intelligible and corresponding to the letter of the series. The complicated combat system, interspersed with simple game riddles, seemed unsuccessful to some reviewers due to inconvenient controls. Others were pleased with her, noting the great mobility of the protagonist and the behavior of the virtual camera. The music score was generally described as good but repetitive.
