Silent Hill f's trailer and announcement reception was a bit shaky. On the one hand fans of the series were frothing at the mouth for a new installment in the series, having waited for over a decade for something that wasn't just a PS5 demo. But on the other, some were unsure whether a Silent Hill game set in Shōwa-period Japan would have what it takes to rival their love of the classics.
This pressure followed Silent Hill f throughout its pre-release. It was so bad at points that, after playing the preview at Gamescom, I wrote about how Silent Hill f is actually really fun when there's not a worm in your ear saying otherwise.
