Silent Hill f Length and Early Reviews Leak Ahead of Release
So, there’s been a lot of buzz lately around Silent Hill f , and now some pretty big details have slipped out before its official release. The game isn’t even out until September 25th, but multiple early reviews have already leaked—and they’ve revealed some surprising information about how long the game takes to beat, what kind of experience players can expect, and even how critics are scoring it.
According to these early reports, Silent Hill f ’s main story is about 12 to 13 hours long. That puts it in the same range as the Silent Hill 2 Remake , which is a solid length for a psychological horror game. What’s interesting is that the reviews didn’t fully confirm whether side quests are included in that number, so it could be that the actual playtime is longer if you explore everything. But here’s the kicker—this game isn’t just about finishing once. It’s been confirmed that there’s a new game plus mode, multiple endings, and even a continuation of the story after the first playthrough. So, for fans who love replay value, there’s clearly a lot built in.
The reviews also touched on how the gameplay feels, and this is where things get a little unexpected. Some early impressions describe Silent Hill f as having a “soulslike” flavor, which means challenging combat, dodging, counterattacks, and high tension battles. Famitsu, the well-known Japanese magazine, even highlighted the combat as “exhilarating.” They mentioned destructible weapons that add to the sense of dread, since players can’t just rely on one tool the entire time. Difficulty can be adjusted with a slider, but reviewers warned that it doesn’t necessarily make the game easy, so those who aren’t into action-heavy mechanics might find it tough.
Also Read:On the review scores side, things are looking very promising. Famitsu gave the game a 36 out of 40, which is actually the highest score ever awarded to a Silent Hill game by that outlet. For comparison, the original Silent Hill on PS1 and Silent Hill 2 on PS2 both got 34/40, and last year’s Silent Hill 2 Remake received 35/40. That’s a big deal, because it shows just how well this new entry is being received in Japan. Another early score from DualShockers reportedly gave it a 9.5 out of 10.
The setting and story also seem to stand out. Silent Hill f is set in 1960s Japan, in a town called Ebisugaoka, where everyday life collapses into a nightmare of fog and horror. The story was written by Ryukishi07, the writer behind Higurashi When They Cry , which already promises some seriously haunting storytelling. And, of course, Akira Yamaoka is back for the music, which means the atmosphere will hit all the right unsettling notes.
So, in short, we’re looking at a new Silent Hill game that’s aiming to blend classic psychological terror with modern action elements. It sounds both challenging and rewarding, with a story that doesn’t just end when the credits roll. Whether it lives up to the hype outside Japan remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear—this could be the most ambitious and exciting Silent Hill in years.
