The Silent Hill fandom is seemingly split once again, this time over Silent Hill f’s “soulslike” combat.
As more and more teasers and footage pop up online in the run-up to 25th September’s launch day, fans are getting stuck into all the new gameplay. But while we already knew the combat would have a “heavier focus on melee and be more action-oriented compared to last year’s Silent Hill 2”, fans are concerned about how enemies react, degradable weapons, and “soulslike” boss encounters.
“The game is looking incredible overall in terms of detail and quality. The amount of work the devs have put in is really impressive. That said, I’m a bit worried about how the combat is shaping up, specifically, how enemies react (or don’t react) when taking hits,” said one player.
“Why, I can’t guy[s] please don’t tell me it’s true,” lamented one fan. “I love this series and I’m really hyped for the game, but please game devs, don’t take this route, don’t sacrifice what this series is know [sic] for to trend chase. Don’t alienate your audience. I’m honestly scared if this is the direction there [sic] taking this series.”
