Silent Hill FThe Silent Hill series independently from the Neobards developer is arriving on PlayStation on September 5. Recently, we had the opportunity to play at the world premiere in Tokyo in Japan.
Psychological horror set in the 1960s. Japan
The story begins when Hinako leaves his house to escape his nervous father. Silent Hill F uses the same perspective above the shoulders as the Remake Bloober Team Silent Hill 2, enabling players to move the camera with the right analogue bar. Sharing a similar perspective to Hinako adds immersion and tension of the game. When you look around the surrounding forest, you become very aware of closing the danger and feel an overwhelming sense of isolation and imprisonment.
Move the city of fogs and survive fatal horror movies from the parent perspective
The sky darkens when Hinako approaches the row of houses along the forest line and the mysterious fog falls. The legitimate Japanese city from the 1960s, presented in Vivid 4K Visuals, causes a sense of beauty and nostalgia. However, after meeting friends from childhood, Hinako for change. The fog completely absorbs the city, and “Higanbana” (red spiders) begins to bloom from the ground. Even worse, tentacle -like plants begin to cram and overfill from the walls. The dramatic transformation of the city charmed me.
Moving around the madness, twisting the streets of Ebisugoka
Ebisugaoka offers a number of narrow streets intertwined between cluster houses. Blind turns and different verticality create a intricate, maze -like system. Unlike Silent Hill 2, there is no radio or items that warn against approaching enemies, so you must be vigilant and vigilant to every sound.
Puzzles closely related to history
Puzzles are a feature of the Silent Hill series and are clearly in this title. During our game, we were able to try various puzzles inspired by Japanese culture, such as locating the right “EMA” (tiny wooden prayer pills) or finding scarecrows that matched specific criteria. Many of these puzzles are deeply connected with the story written by the script Ryukishi07, and it was intriguing to find out how they were associated with the emotions and identity of the characters.
Fighting with a close range requires quick thinking and strategy
Hinako is an average Japanese teenager, so unlike previous titles in a series of firearms, it is not an option here. Instead, Silent Hill F has a heavier pressure on the melee fight. During our demo, we got an iron pipe, sickle, dagger and plug.
Combat contains a fresh mental mechanic and counterattack to direct hostile enemies. Pressing the R2 button during combat openings The fight activates the meter. This does not consume endurance, and if it succeeds, the enemy will be knocked down. You will see a special effect on the enemy when you can make a meter. Although the focus mode absorbs mental health, this condition can ponderous down time and create a longer opening, which makes it easier to provide surprises. In addition, when the Hinako concentration meter is filled, it can release a powerful focus attack with the R1 button, which causes significant injuries. However, the current maximum mental health will decrease, which hinders the transition to the focus mode, so you need to determine the main moments to exploit this attack.
Keep an eye on the durability of the weapon
The weapon in Silent Hill F has a level of durability and will break faster, the more they are used. Make sure you wear a spare weapon or a set of tools for repairing their durability. However, a weapon, such as dagger and bend, which can only be used in a different world, has no durability and can be used for the content of the heart.
Face to face with a powerful temple monster
The demo ends with an intense battle between Hinako and the grotesque monster disguised as a temple. Hinako calls this monster “Sakiko” when he confronts him in the world.
Shrine Maiden attacks include a wide range and will keep you on your fingers from a distant range. Monster begins an attack on long distances, which causes Hinako shudder while at the same time disappears to reduce mental health. However, if you can locate the monster right after it appears again, you will have a chance to throw yourself and hit when it is defenseless.
I left since Silent Hill F, willingly confrontation of more terrifying enemies and hard puzzles, as well as discover fresh map areas when the game will start on September 25 on PS5.
