I've waited 13 years to be excited about Silent Hill again, and Silent Hill f has me hopeful for the series' future

Hinako is grabbed by encroaching red growths on a wall in Ebisugaoka in Silent Hill f as she tries to escape the fog, with the GamesRadar+ Big Preview Horror Special 2025 badge branding.

Silent Hill f is the first properly new game in the series in 13 years, following on from the release of Silent Hill Downpour which came out so long ago that it debuted on PS3 and Xbox 360. Having played 5 hours of Silent Hill f starting from the game's opening, I can finally say that after years of disappointment I'm excited about the future of the series again.

My renewed enthusiasm isn't just because of one new game, but a shift in ethos that has me thinking Konami is finally giving the series the treatment it deserves. It's a great feeling because I honestly didn't think this is the way things would go. Ask me a year or two ago if I thought Silent Hill would be rocking my world like it used to and I would have quietly shaken my head while looking out the window.
