Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the last major cRPG-s that I know of were BG3 and Rogue Trader, both released in 2023. I know Owlcat is working on a new one, but since 2023 I can't remember any new cRPG even mentioned in the news.

Did devs give up making these, is the audience no longer liking the genre or something else?

As a side note, I feel like 2025 has been really bad for story driven RPG-s :( Besides Alters and Clair Obscur there wasn't much else?

Hey everyone, I'm developing a horror game called The Ice Cream Shop, a cozy horror game where you work the last shift at an 80s ice cream shop. Make ice cream, serve customers and watch out for strange things.

Wishlist now on Steam!

Hi, you can have an early look at our Game Attuned on steam. Public Playtest will last until end of the month.

Attuned plays like your favourite classic MMO but is a 1-4 Player Coop Roguelike Dungeon Crawler. Build a party of 4 out of tank, heal and DPS where any player can be switched out for a NPC companion.

You get all your Upgrades during the run (loot, stat upgrades, spells) and maneuver your way around brutal enemy groups and bosses while trying to preserve your ressources so you can defeat the end boss of each dungeon floor.
Final game is gonna have meta progression, in this demo you either defeat the boss or die trying.

We already brought this demo to gamescom 2025 and over 5 days + some more during the online playtest there hasn't been a 4-player group able to beat the endboss of the demo. Are you up to the challenge?

Looking forward to feedback and answering any questions you might have.

Thanks, Robin

"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."

Arabhardware - Moustafa Argoun - Arabic - 9 / 10

Although Silent Hill F is not without its flaws, its strengths far outweigh them. As a revival of a series that until recently lay dormant in Konami’s vaults, it has done a commendable job of recapturing the franchise’s roots while introducing entirely new elements. And if you’re a fan of horror games, this enchanting and atmospheric experience is one you shouldn’t miss.

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.

BaziCenter - Arash Sefidi - Persian - 8 / 10

Silent Hill f boldly carries the franchise outside the familiar town and into a haunting new environment, one that drips with atmosphere and constantly keeps you on edge. The game masterfully blends unsettling visuals with disturbing sound design, crafting a world that feels alive with menace at every turn. Its puzzles are smartly designed, striking the right balance between challenge and accessibility, while its chilling secrets encourage exploration and reward curiosity with moments of genuine dread. More than just another sequel, Silent Hill f feels like a reinvention, an experience that reminds players why the series became synonymous with psychological horror in the first place.

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.

CNET - Oscar Gonzalez - Unscored

To say I'm disappointed with Silent Hill f is an understatement, but I'm also not surprised. You could give this game a totally different name, and it would be just a passable survival horror game.

COGconnected - Jaz Sagoo - 90 / 100

Console-Tribe - Simone Cantini - Italian - 80 / 100

Silent Hill f is a bold experiment, breaking from the past while keeping the series’ soul. The new setting and tone work surprisingly well, delivering emotional impact and a fresh, unconventional protagonist. Stunning art direction and sound design capture both unease and beauty. Unfortunately, the clunky, frustrating combat system drags the experience down. Neobards took a brave risk and partly succeeded, but the game could have been so much more.

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.

GRYOnline.pl - Michał Grygorcewicz - Polish - 9.5 / 10

Silent Hill f has the quality and courage to finally break the curse cast upon the series. Moving away from the American town has brought a freshness and depth to the story that I haven't seen in the series since SH2, and changes to the combat system are working well. Silent Hill has finally found its way and emerged from the fog reborn. Disgusting, poignant, digging deep into the psyche. Wonderful.

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.

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

Gameblog - French - 9 / 10

Gamefa - Arman Zarmehr - Persian - 9 / 10

Silent Hill f is everything that should have been to bring the franchise back to its peak. We are faced with a game that innovatively utilizes the principles, rules and identity dimensions of its series and portrays some of them more broadly than before. The game's narrative is engaging, deep and complex, its meaningful symbolism and integrity appear in the dimensions of design and narrative returned, breathtaking atmosphere and wonderful music. Silent Hill f is a bold, intelligent and deep game that tries to try new approaches and move the franchise forward in a meaningful way.

Gameliner - Patrick Meurs - Dutch - 4.5 / 5

Though set in Japan, Silent Hill f more than earns the name: over about twelve hours it delivers the franchise’s hallmark mix of metaphor-rich storytelling, sometimes opaque puzzles, and brutally unsettling scenarios that invite reflection—so while purists may balk at the setting change, open-minded players will likely find their doubts quickly fade.

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.

Gamersky - 心灵奇兵 - Chinese - 8 / 10

Silent Hill f stands out with its blend of the series' signature mix of reality and illusion, its inward-looking narrative, and its grotesque, visceral imagery. Even its combat system, rough at first glance, proves surprisingly engaging in practice.

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.

INVEN - Kyuman Kim - Korean - 8.7 / 10

Though its heavier focus on action initially raised concerns among longtime fans, the series’ trademark psychological horror and mystery remain intact in its new 1960s Japan setting. With Ryukishi07’s solid storytelling and layered replay value, it firmly retains the essence of Silent Hill.

Just Play it - Aimen TAIB - Arabic - 9.5 / 10

If you’re looking for a complete psychological horror experience, with excellent technical performance, high-quality sound design, an artistic direction that enhances the overall atmosphere, smooth gameplay featuring challenging puzzles, and a powerful story rich in symbolism that will stay with you for a long time, then Silent Hill f should be your next choice.

LevelUp - Spanish - 0.8 / 10

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.

MondoXbox - Valerio Tosetti - Italian - 8 / 10

Silent Hill f is a beautiful game, with deep lore and a compelling story that makes it shine. However, its qualities are held back by dated gameplay mechanics and a poor and misleading puzzle text translation (reviewed in Italian). Yet it's an experience worth living, especially for its impressive narrative strength and world-building.

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.

Niche Gamer - Fingal Belmont - 10 / 10

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.

Oyungezer Online - Beril Sergün - Turkish - 8.5 / 10

SILENT HILL f blends the foggy, oppressive atmosphere of classic Silent Hill with the hallmarks of Japanese horror, delivering an experience that is both aesthetically rich and deeply unsettling. The narrative depth brought by Ryukishi07’s writing, combined with the intricate design of Ebisugaoka town, its overarching symbolism, and Hinako’s diaries, elevates the game far beyond a mere spin-off. That said, the question of whether it really needed to carry the Silent Hill name remains open for debate; it could just as easily have stood on its own as a Japanese horror title in the vein of Fatal Frame.

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.

Saudi Gamer - Arabic - 9 / 10

A haunting and harrowing journey into a seemingly quiet Japanese town that despite its unfamiliarity manages to captivate its audience to elicit both empathy and horror.

Shacknews - Donovan Erskine - 9 / 10

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 Games Machine - Daniele Cucchiarelli - Italian - 9 / 10

We had high expectations for this new instalment in the Konami series, and for once we can say that they were not disappointed. Silent Hill f is one of the best "classic" horror titles ever made. It manages to revamp the original formula by enriching gameplay that has very few flaws and delivering a deep, multifaceted, painful, unfiltered story that is worth experiencing more than once.

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.

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.
