Silent Hill: Mexican critics celebrate Konami's triumphant return

The wait is over. September 25th was marked as the day Silent Hill f arrived on consoles after more than a decade of uncertainty and silence. For Mexican fans of psychological horror , the anticipation was immense: could Konami reclaim its most iconic saga?

The verdict is in. With a Metacritic score of 85 , and with Mexican critics applauding its narrative and aesthetics, Silent Hill F is a glorious return that balances respect for the legacy with innovative freshness .

In Mexico, the main specialized media agreed that Silent Hill f is not only a good game, but a rebirth of the franchise .

• 3DJuegos LATAM described it as “a captivating return to horror, with a deep psychological plot inspired by Japanese folklore and revamped combat.”
• Xataka Mexico placed it directly as “a candidate for GOTY 2025 and the vindication of Konami as a creator of unforgettable experiences.”
• LevelUp acknowledged that the narrative approach is risky, but called it a heartbreaking story that honors the spirit of Silent Hill.
• TierraGamer highlighted the balance between tension and combat, noting that it is a necessary evolution to keep the genre alive.
• Atomix defined it as “an excellent modern survival horror that rescues the saga with dignity.”

Konami didn't have it easy. After years of neglect, failed experiments, and a successful remake of Silent Hill 2 in 2024 , the future of the series seemed uncertain. However, Silent Hill f breaks the mold by being set in 1960s Japan , with entirely new characters and threats.

This change of setting not only refreshes the narrative, but also offers an implicit homage to the social and psychological repression of the era, with a focus on pain, repression, and gender-based violence.

The result is a title that, although imperfect, manages to revive the essence of Silent Hill while opening up a different narrative path.

For the Mexican community, Silent Hill II is not just a game, but a cultural event within the gaming world . After the remake of Silent Hill II, this new chapter confirms that the fog is once again covering the paths of terror with greater force than ever.

Silent Hill F isn't perfect: some point out narrative or mechanical inconsistencies that don't quite fit with the classic canon. However, what's clear is that Konami has regained the trust of fans and has shown that Silent Hill can still evolve without betraying its essence.
