Spencer and Cameron are talking all about the new Silent Hill game of Townfall. The experimental spin off that takes the gameplay into a first-person style, with a light pseudo-VR feel, but sadly without actual VR implication. Still, it's an interesting game premise, with a great story, intriguing characters, and fantastic puzzles throughout. The game does drop the ball a bit on some of the combat and the annoying one hit kill creature of the "Weight." Which it really should be called the Wait, cause sure doesn't mind hanging out in the same spot for a good long while. So, prepare for a bit of that hide and sneak style gameplay, that I know can sometimes be the make or break for different folks. But at least that is only a couple sections of the game.

But at least the journey is still worth it, and it is an interesting test of changing up the combat heavy games of past Silent Hills. If you are a fan of the series or genre, you will most likely dig the majority of the game. We especially think that after how much SH F raised the bar on horror games in general, it's kind of hard to compete with that one you are trying something different. But the game is worth the ride still and only makes us more excited for what Konami is bringing out next.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next. Though it is a bummer that this game isn't on Xbox and Switch 2. And since it's a PlayStation console exclusive it really should have been made for the VR 2. Just saying. That unit could use some more games now.
