"Silent Hill F's changes to the atmosphere, location, and general feel makes it one of my favorite Silent Hill games. However, long time fans may chaff at the adjustments."

Atarita - Furkan Oğur - Turkish - 75 / 100

Silent Hill F is the first new entry in the series in a long time. While it gets some things right, it falls short in others. Even though it doesn’t fully capture the classic Silent Hill feel, it’s still a good game.

---

CGMagazine - Brendan Frye - 9 / 10

NeoBards Entertainment has taken bold risks with Silent Hill f, and the result is one of the most unsettling, personal and rewarding horror games in years.

Dexerto - James Busby - 5 / 5

Silent Hill f is a bold new direction for Konami’s iconic survival horror series. While it may put a heavier emphasis on combat, NeoBards has expertly concocted a nightmarish cocktail oozing with enough stomach-churning monsters, disgustingly beautiful environments, and psychological dread to be just as good, if not better than, Silent Hill 2.

Hinako’s world is suffocating and compelling, and I can’t wait to delve even further into the dark, damp town of Ebisugaoka to uncover more endings. If this is the quality we can expect from Silent Hill going forward, then I have never been more excited to step into its fog-filled future.

Endless Mode - Elijah Gonzalez - 90 / 100

It’s a sequel that understands what makes these games tick, both in the moment-to-moment particulars of being trapped in a fog bank where you can’t see five feet in front of you, and in the deeper specifics of using scares to navigate the fraying psyche of its protagonist.

Enternity.gr - Konstantinos Kalkanis - Greek - 7 / 10

Silent Hill f, although flawed, shows great promise for Konami's future plans for Silent Hill.

---

Game8 - Allisandra Reyes - 96 / 100

Silent Hill f is a bold step forward for the franchise, blending its trademark psychological horror with inventive gameplay systems that push survival horror into new territory. The story grips you, the visuals unsettle you, and the music seeps into your bones. While forced combat encounters and a few glitches keep it from perfection, its depth, multiple endings, and replay value make it an unforgettable experience.

---

GameSpot - Jessica Cogswell - 9 / 10

With its brilliant writing, haunting atmosphere, well-designed gameplay, and spectacular visuals, Silent Hill f sets a new benchmark for the Silent Hill series.

---

Gamepressure - Sebastian Kasparek - 9.5 / 10

After many long years, Silent Hill has received its most exceptional installment, reintroducing the series to the Premier League of horror and regaining its reputation as the pinnacle of virtual terror.

---

Gamer Guides - Ben Chard - 92 / 100

Silent Hill f lives up to the series’ legacy of offering a fantastic story that gets you thinking about more than what you see. A fun combat system, beautiful visuals, and a fantastic soundtrack only add to what is one of the best games of the year.

---

IGN India - Rayan Sayyed - 9 / 10

Silent Hill f pushes the series in a bold new direction without losing its soul. The Japanese setting gives the game a fresh identity while still feeling unmistakably like Silent Hill. With a story rich in character and classic gameplay that feels familiar yet refreshed, this is the revival the series has been waiting for, and it sets the stage for Silent Hill to grow in a distinct direction.

---

IGN Italy - Alessandro Digioia - Italian - 7.5 / 10

Silent Hill f is a compelling yet flawed return for Konami's iconic horror series: narratively strong and visually striking, it immerses players in a haunting psychological nightmare set in the eerie Japanese town of Ebisugaoka. Hinako's touching and unsettling story is the highlight, but the experience is held back by basic combat, limited enemy types, and a design that requires multiple playthroughs to fully understand the plot without enough gameplay variety. Despite interesting ideas and solid presentation, the game loses momentum over time, feeling repetitive and lessening its emotional impact.

---

IGN Spain - Mario Sánchez - Spanish - 10 / 10

Silent Hill f takes us to 1960s Japan with a dark, symbolic, and psychologically deep story. It combines exploration, clever puzzles, and more complex combat than previous entries, while still retaining the essence of the series.

---

Loot Level Chill - Chris White - 9 / 10

Silent Hill f is genuinely unnerving, with a strong story and intense combat that earns its place as a worthy entry in the series.

---

MonsterVine - James Carr - 3.5 / 5

Silent Hill f delivers a compelling and creepy horror experience, with unique enemies and environments that feel smartly focused on telling Hinako's story. The focus on societal expectations of women and the competition forced upon them, even between friends and sisters, gives the horror elements a more pointed focus. It delivers on themes throughout, and while the combat is only just fine, some of the more compelling ideas, like the economy of Silent Hill f create a compelling and spooky experience. Obtuse puzzles and a lack of variety in combat hold Silent Hill f back from reaching the peak of the survival horror genre.

One More Game - Vincent Ternida - 8.5 / 10

Despite its departure from the familiar urban landscapes of previous entries, Silent Hill f stands as a compelling and worthy addition to the franchise’s storied legacy. From its hauntingly atmospheric opening to its emotionally charged and unsettling finale, Hinako’s journey offers a memorable experience that will spark discussion long after the credits roll.

The game is remarkably accessible, catering to both narrative-driven players and those seeking a deeper challenge. Whether you’re here for the story or eager to test your skills with elevated puzzle and combat difficulty, Silent Hill f delivers a layered horror experience that adapts to your playstyle. While some minor issues may arise depending on personal preferences, the overall package offers something for every fan of psychological horror.

Push Square - Liam Croft - 7 / 10

Silent Hill F takes the survival horror series in a new direction, which pays off for the most part. It's quite different, and hardcore fans will have to accept that. Combat is a heavy focus, and the move to Japan means there's a different kind of tone and atmosphere in the air. Technical problems aside, it marks a bold new chapter in the Silent Hill saga. Accept it for what it is, and you'll find one of PS5's most intense experiences.

---

Restart.run - Len Hafer - 4 / 5

While it may not satisfy those looking for more of a classic survival horror experience, I absolutely loved the heart-wrenching and vibrantly inventive journey that was Silent Hill f. Each finished playthrough beckoned me back into the gloom to start another, even though the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. Because I still had more questions, and Silent Hill f still had more answers. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time, and it may just become an instant horror classic.

SteamDeckHQ - Noah Kupetsky - 4 / 5

Silent Hill f does have flaws, but the pros heavily outweigh the cons. The story sucked me in and combat was more fun than I expected. I am being more nit-picky with the issues I’m bringing up, but they ultimately never affected my enjoyment of the game, nor made me think twice about getting back into it for round 2. And a lot of the issues I had were erased as soon as New Game+ started, which was like a weight lifted off my shoulders.

On top of that, it actually runs quite well on the Steam Deck. It’s definitely not perfect and needs compromises to run effectively, but the game is playable on the Deck and can look gorgeous. It may cost a little extra performance in 3-4 scenes, but they include graphical improvements I’d consider necessary to enjoy.

In the end, Silent Hill f is a thrilling game, and if this keeps up, the future of AAA releases from Konami is going to look very bright.

---

Stevivor - Matt Gosper - 9.5 / 10

Silent Hill f balances threat and reality in a way that kept me playing longer and longer per session.

---

The Outerhaven Productions - Karl Smart - 4.5 / 5

Silent Hill f does what the developers intended to do: Capture the soul and spirit of the first three Silent Hill games and put it into an unapologetically Japanese package. However, after playing the game, I walked away feeling like this was more like Forbidden Siren or Fatal Frame than a Silent Hill. The removal of the town itself is a big loss, but this game is one hell of a horror game that would have done really well even if it didn't have the Silent Hill brand attached to it.

---

TheSixthAxis - Nick Petrasiti - 10 / 10

Silent Hill f isn't just a return to form, it's a landmark entry in the series. Konami. NeoBards and Ryukishi07 have knocked it out of the park. For me, this isn't just Game of the Year material, it's an integral piece of Silent Hill history.

---

Wccftech - Francesco De Meo - 9 / 10

With a gripping and often disturbing story, a setting unlike anything seen before in the franchise, and gameplay that blends new ideas with a familiar framework, Silent Hill f shows that the series is not only back, but stronger than ever. While performance issues and a short runtime do impact the experience, they in no way diminish what is a triumphant return for one of the most important survival horror series ever.

---

Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 8.5 / 10

Silent Hill f is a slow-burn horror game that doesn't put its best foot forward, but once it has its hooks in you, they're not coming out. The compelling and well-crafted story does a fantastic job of drawing you in and keeping you invested, even potentially through multiple playthroughs. The combat mechanics can feel a tad overdone. I think Silent Hill f is the best entirely new entry in the franchise in ages, and while it has its flaws, it shows that there's still plenty of life in Konami's franchise.

---

XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 9 / 10

SILENT HILL f is a terrifying and terrific title. This harrowing tale of choice and consequence should thrill and properly disgust any fellow survival horror sicko.

The strip search lasted just six minutes, but when it ended, Jarius Brown had a broken nose, fractured eye socket and a badly swollen face.

Never-before-published footage shows why: Two Louisiana sheriff’s deputies pummeled the naked 25-year-old, flinging him around the DeSoto Parish Detention Center laundry room while landing a flurry of 50 punches.

In the aftermath of the 2019 assault, one of the deputies resigned and the other was suspended. Internal records show the sheriff’s office concluded “there was no way of defending” the deputies’ actions.

Yet, that’s just what the Louisiana State Police did, an Associated Press investigation has found. After waiting months to analyze the graphic video and more than a year to even interview Brown, the agency cleared the deputies of wrongdoing. The state police ultimately supported the deputies’ claims that Brown had been the “aggressor” in an altercation that took place after he had been arrested on charges of stealing a car.

Israel, Charlie Kirk, and the Weaponization of Murder: A Discussion with Max Blumenthal

This video features Chris Hedges interviewing Max Blumenthal about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and its implications for the United States, focusing on Kirk's relationship with the Zionist lobby and the potential weaponization of his murder.

Key Points:

• Charlie Kirk's evolving stance on Israel: Initially supported by the Israel lobby, Kirk later faced pressure from his grassroots base due to Israel's actions in Gaza. This led to Kirk inviting figures like Tucker Carlson, who criticized Israeli influence, to his events.
• Netanyahu's alleged attempts to influence Kirk: Blumenthal reports that Netanyahu personally offered to re-fund Kirk's organization with a massive infusion of Zionist money, which Kirk refused. This refusal reportedly left Kirk feeling frightened.
• Netanyahu's courting of alt-media: Netanyahu has been increasingly engaging with alternative media outlets, particularly right-wing podcasters, to bypass mainstream media and directly influence American public opinion.
• Weaponization of Kirk's murder: The Zionist lobby is allegedly using Kirk's assassination to target critics of Israel and the left in general, pushing for measures like revoking passports of those accused of supporting terrorism.
• The Red-Green Alliance: Netanyahu views the "marriage of radical leftism and Islam" as a significant threat in the U.S., using this narrative to justify crackdowns on dissent.
• Agenda of Mass Repression: Blumenthal argues that Kirk's death is being exploited to push an agenda of mass repression, criminalizing anti-Israel activity and expanding the powers of secret police.
• The influence of Zionist figures in US Politics: Blumenthal highlights the influence of Zionist figures like Stephen Miller in shaping US policy and the pressure exerted on politicians to align with Israeli interests.
• The chilling effect on free speech: Blumenthal describes a "dystopian scenario" where individuals are being doxxed and losing their jobs for expressing critical views of Israel or minimizing Kirk's death.
• Netanyahu's overcompensation: Netanyahu's repeated declarations of Charlie Kirk being a true friend of Israel felt like overcompensation and fear of the truth getting out.
• Listening Devices: Allegedly, listening devices were planted by Israeli agents on Secret Service emergency response vehicles during one of Netanyahu's visits to the US.

About Channel:

Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, author and commentator provides compelling story telling, archive interviews & show content covering US foreign policy, economic realities and civil liberties in American society.

Background:

The parameters of acceptable journalist inquiry has dramatically narrowed over the nearly four decades I have been a reporter and author. Newspapers, where I began my career, have atrophied or died. The electronic media is in the hands of a half dozen corporations that impose a uniformity of opinion and ban the views of us who decry the crimes of empire, the permanent war economy, the apartheid state of Israel, our money saturated political process and social inequality. Whistleblowers, the life blood of investigative journalism, have been virtually silenced through a combination of wholesale government surveillance—the reason Edward Snowden immediately left the country after revealing that we were all being watched, tracked and monitored by the government—and the misuse of the Espionage Act to prosecute those who reveal government malfeasance and crimes. Julian Assange, who never committed a crime, is on the verge of being extradited to the United States and spending the rest of his life in prison, setting a dangerous legal precedent that criminalizes anyone who possesses or publishes government secrets, as other investigative reporters and I did at The New York Times. Algorithms imposed by digital media platforms such as Google, Facebook and Twitter, shadow ban critics or, as in the case of the New York Post, which was locked out of its own account so it could not disseminate the contents found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, censor them. America’s premier investigative journalist, Sy Hersh, who exposed the war crimes at My Lai and Abu Ghraib, has difficulty publishing in the United States.

My television show on TeleSur, which was later broadcast on RT America, went off the air when these two media outlets where shut down. The staff of Truthdig and I were fired by the wealthy publisher when we went on strike to protest her attempt to fire the legendary Editor-in-Chief Bob Scheer and demand a union. Bob, who had been a columnist for The Los Angeles Times, had been fired from the paper for opposing the Iraq war, similar to my own experience at The New York Times.

Substack is the last best hope for me to retain my independence and do the journalism and writing I find meaningful and impactful. The great investigative journalism, I.F. Stone, a victim of the McCarthyite witch hunts of the 1960s, unable to get a job even at The Nation magazine, founded I.F. Stone’s Weekly, which he printed in his basement. This Substack is an updated version of his weekly, begun for the same reasons and determined to replicate Stone’s fierce honesty and independence.

Corporations will not fund us. The model of relying on the wealthy does not work. The commercial press, along with National Public Radio and PBS, also heavily dependent on corporate funds, has been largely neutered.^[[1] https://chrishedges.substack.com/about]

With the recent discussions around replacing Spotify with selfhosted services and the possibilities to obtain the music itself, I've been finally setting up Navidrome. I had to do quite a bit of reorganization to do with my existing collection (beets helping a ton) but now it's in a neatly organized structure and I'm enjoying it everywhere. I get most of my stuff from Bandcamp but I have a big catalog from when I've still had a large physical collection.

I'm also still working on my docker quasi gitops stack. I've cleaned up my compose files and put the secrets in env files where I hadn't already, checked them into my new forgejo instance and (mostly) configured renovate. Komodo is about to get productive but I couldn't find the time yet. Also I need to figure out how to check in secrets in a secure way. I know some but I haven't tried those with Komodo yet. This close of my fully automated update-on-merge compose stacks!

I've also been doing these for quite a while and decided to sometimes post them in !selfhosting@slrpnk.net to possibly help moving a bit from the biggest Lemmy instance, even though this community as it is is perfectly fine as well as it seems.

What's going on on your servers? Anything you are trying to pursue at the moment?
