Summary

Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

I was expecting silent hill to be about facing inner struggles,not about a goddess tied to a religious cult.so i wasnt very pleased with the story at first,but it ended up growing on me more than i thought it would.
the gameplay was great besides the janky combat,there were some ok puzzles and the atmosphere was an 11/10,with the mall being my fav area.
This game is So good in fact,that even months after beating it, i cant get it out of my head.

Compared to Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3 is more of a journey of finding who you are rather than a search of acceptance, in both the gameplay and narrative sense. Just as much of a horror masterpiece as Silent Hill 2. Only caveats are that I'm not a fan of the reused location from Silent Hill 2 as well as the enemies being much more annoying in this game.
This is also a direct sequel to Silent Hill 1 so I recommend playing that first.

I really liked Heather as the main character she seemed like a fun person and took things on with hartred. I thought the environments were fun too like the mall but the hospital is overused at this point. Some of the puzzles are just really hard? Like a walkthrough spent paragraphs explaining them and I don't have time for all that. The combat was also really annoying and probably the worst out of 1 and 2. Most enemies are really tanky and take a lot of ammo to kill to where it's a waste so I barely killed enemies. Also they put so many enemies into one area unlike 1 and 2 where they were more spaced out but in 3 it's like there could be 3 enemies in one spot and it becomes a lot. I also didn't like being downed when being hit because Heather takes way too long to get up and when there is a lot of enemies you just won't stop getting downed and you can get stuck. Also I really didn't like the final boss fight, it was kind of bullshit and I for the same consensus when looking at what others had to say about it. The boss has a lot of health and I barely had enough bullets and healing items even though I did search through all rooms and barely shot any enemies I still didn't have enough supplies for this fight. After like 2 hours I finally killed it legitimately but like man I do not want to do that again. Overall I think it's a good game but it's not like 2 for me.
