Silent Hill Homecoming
Homecoming is more of a Hostel-nodding, Jacob’s Ladder-winking attempt at emulating the Silent Hill movie, rather than the original game. We’re left with something that looks like a genuine tribute to its thriller heritage, but its mediocre and clichéd story, as well as linear and more combat-centric gameplay, means that Homecoming is too old-fashioned and lacks the originality and tension that made the previous games so enjoyable.

Nach dem eher experimentellen (und etwas enttäuschenden) 4. Teil war ich gespannt wie sich die Serie weiterentwickelt. Spielerisch orientiert sich Homecoming eher wieder an den ersten beiden Teilen, allerdings mit einem Kampfsystem, welches eher zu...
