Silent Hill: Townfall Review - Addressing The Trauma

Game Informer's review says Silent Hill: Townfall is the series' third game in as many years and the first to fully embrace a first-person perspective, following Simon Ordell through the Scottish town of St. Amelia in 1996. It praises the visuals and peeking mechanic, and notes combat is heavily discouraged with scarce bullets and fast-breaking melee weapons, making it closer to a stealth game. The reviewer says inconsistent enemy detection forced frequent save reloads and diminished the tension, while the cast's emotional backstories are more transparent than in past entries.
