I wasn’t a fan of Silent Hill f, but Silent Hill: Townfall has made me believe in the horror series again
TechRadar Verdict Silent Hill: Townfall is a competent blend of stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving, and the occasional combat encounter. The art direction is superb, barring the forgettable monster designs and stiff facial animations. This small Scottish outfit doesn’t exactly have a long resume, but it's already proved itself with its two previous outings.
