    I love how the characters are like "we have no idea what is happening, why are all the places we visit full of monsters" as if the police station didn't have a sheet of story concepts straight from the design doc in it that explained exactly what happened.

    Him being a-day-younger-than-18 actually breaks a lot of the game. Why is he moving into the house at 17? Where is his case worker, or what have you? Why is he on an adult dating site at 17? He couldve lied his age, but they like never bring that up.

    • @ninjabunny9526
      @ninjabunny9526 Рік тому +12

      Him lying about his age doesn't work either since his sister contacted him through the dating site, so she knew he'd be on there and she'd be able to talk to him through it somehow. And since she knew he was 17 at the time it's wild for her to assume he'd be lying about his age so he can go on a dating site lul. Really they could have just made him 20 instead and solved all these issues but they didn't for some reason

    If not the worst game of 2023, it's definitely the laziest. An exhausting AI-generated asset-flip cashgrab with absolutely no thought put into... Anything. It makes Garden of Banban look good by comparison. It makes Gollum look like a polished AAA title. Underrated highlights including the main character constantly calling his sister two different names (Martie? Martha?), hiding the lower half of the father's face as he speaks to avoid animating lip movements, and the solution to the police station's computer "puzzle" being one room over written on a wall verbatim.
    Truly an experience

    The game completely fails to understand what makes the early Silent Hill games good. Like even downpour wasnt exactly perfect but its was pretty good compared to other later silent hill games... The way the monsters in this game just show up is so dumb.
