Bien parti pour vous faire dresser les cheveux sur la tête, cet Homecoming qui dégouline d'hémoglobine vous passionnera par son ambiance sinistre. Une expérience macabre qui n'est hélas pas dépourvue de bugs. |

Globalement très réussi, il ne manque à ce cinquième opus qu'un enrobage technique moins désuet et une progression un poil moins redondante pour complètement convaincre. |

Une aventure prenante, des combats revus et corrigés, et une ambiance digne des silent hill classiques font de cette nouvelle mouture un titre agréable, mais inférieur aux grandes heures de la série. |

Ambiance poisseuse, combats âpres et aventure prenante pour ce premier SH sur PS3 et 360. Mais l'ensemble, très fidèle aux codes de la saga, n'arrive pas à surprendre. |

Jouer à Silent Hill : Homecoming, c'est faire face à une certaine déception des premières heures. Trop classique, et avec un certain manque de personnalité, le titre se révèle au final plutôt bon, peut être même meilleur à l'heure actuelle que les trois derniers épisodes (3, 4 et Origins). |

Proposant un scénario de qualité, une ambiance fabuleuse et une bande-son prenante, il ne restait plus à Silent Hill : Homecoming qu'à trouver une vraie identité et un équilibre. Surement lors de la prochaine visite à Silent Hill. |

Homecoming ne transcende pas la série. En effet, il ne donne que le strict minimum, en exploitant avant tout une ambiance qui a fait ses preuves et affichant une réalisation correcte. Il ose quand même un système de combat différent, avec ses qualités et ses défauts. |

Au final, s'il est difficile de juger ce nouvel opus en le comparant aux anciens épisodes, Silent Hill Homecoming reste néanmoins un bon survival-horror qui sans vraiment se remettre en question propose quelques scènes marquantes et une ambiance terrifiante à glacer le sang. |

Sous des dehors de melting-pot des précédents épisodes, Silent Hill Homecoming ne parvient jamais à supplanter ses aînés. [...] Sans être totalement inintéressant, ce segment opère un changement qui ne sied pas forcément à la saga et se perd dans ses influences directes ou indirectes. |

It's quite obvious that the team behind this title are fellow fans of the series. We expected the worst, but in the end, we were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of the game's world and the depth of its story. |

While it doesn’t quite surpass the high standards set by the first three installments, Homecoming is one of the scariest and most memorable titles of the last few years, and a respectable addition to the Silent Hill family. |

The folks at Double Helix gave me the Silent Hill I wanted: a nerve-racking, scary as hell experience to hold me over this Halloween season. Any fan of Silent Hill should be checking this out, and anyone just needing a good scare can join in the Homecoming. |

All in all, Silent Hill: Homecoming is a successful entry to the series. [...] If you have ever wanted to check out a Silent Hill game, or you’re a returning fan, Homecoming is a great place to both start, and continue your journey walking (but more likely running) the foggy streets of Silent Hill. |

But it's not the monsters that make the game work; it's the terrifying, tension-filled steps that lead up to the meeting. That's where Homecoming shines. |

Thankfully, the game manages to be worth more than the sum of its parts. The controls are the best they've ever been, and combat is actually tolerable this time. That said, you're still better off avoiding fights whenever possible, especially during the few annoying sections that continually respawn creatures. |

Unless you've got nerves of steel, this game will at least send chills up your spine and at most scare the crap out of you. Sure, it feels similar to its predecessors, but the familiar mechanics and scares still give us hours of monster bashing fun. |

This game will fade away when stacked up to the staying power of its predecessors [...]. The phrase “unmet potential” comes readily to mind, but even that does little to fully explain my disappointment. |

At the end of the day, Silent Hill: Homecoming may not be a great game, but it’s certainly enjoyable. For fans of the series, or just survival horror in general, this game certainly warrants a playthrough. |

Silent Hill: Homecoming is easily one of the scariest games that is available this year. [...] However, there are times where the story becomes too rooted in previous ideas, like other games in the series and the Silent Hill movie, that it is ultimately more fan service than new content. |

If you are a fan of the Silent Hill series, a purchase goes without saying. Double Helix has given it a sorely needed overhaul while retaining what's made it great, and even though newcomers to the series may not love it as much as the regulars [...]. |

Silent Hill Homecoming delivers one of the few solid survival horror experiences on the system. The genre used to see a release a month, and gamers are lucky now to get two a year. Homecoming’s great story calls for a rebirth of the genre, even if the gameplay occasionally does not. |

Silent Hill: Homecoming is just an enjoyable horror game but, at this time, its also the best Survival Horror of the present generation of consoles. Easy combat, classic puzzles and extraordinary atmosphere for a game that obviously needed a deeper, not so simple, gameplay. |

The development team has played it safe, delivering a game that maintains the status quo. It will make fans giddy, but those without preconceived notions will find it to be a bit clunky and growing long in the tooth. |

Homecoming developer Double Helix has stayed true to the series' foundation while also taking steps in a brave new direction [...] Homecoming definitely fits well within the franchise, but it also left me eager to see what's next, as this is clearly only the first step in Silent Hill's next evolution. |

Homecoming doesn't recapture the essence of the Konami-developed games. The action-oriented approach leaves players with an awkward camera and less impressive plot, but the game is still enjoyable in its own way. |

If you are a survival horror fan or just a Silent Hill fan you will enjoy this game and it would be worth the buy, but it is not a scary game, at least for me. If you are new to the Silent Hill franchise, just rent this one as it is not a good starter for the series. |

It never hits its stride, never find that sweet spot that makes for that great edge-of-your-seat survival horror experience. Silent Hill fans will find enough here in the lore and the art direction to keep them going through the rough spots, but Homecoming is going to be a tough sell for anyone else. |

Silent Hill: Homecoming, while quite a departure from the psychological horror that fans are used to, is still a decent, occult-themed action game that you can squeeze 10 hours of tepid enjoyment from. If, however, you're looking for a classic Silent Hill-style frightfest, you will likely be disappointed. |

Fans will probably dig the game’s cool set pieces and the story, but the save points are placed too far apart, many puzzles require too much random experimentation, and the dialogue system seems like an afterthought. |

This game takes everything that was good about Silent Hill and erased it. The game is a real big letdown; fans will play this and start counting the days until the next Silent Hill game. Stay out of the fog for now, Homecoming is not the Silent Hill experience we’ve been waiting for. |

The tangible sense of dread and ominous ambience that hangs over Homecoming might be enough to salvage Homecoming for devoted scare-seekers, but everybody else will be more horrified by the aggravating combat and decayed puzzle conventions than the twists and turns of Alex's unfortunate past. |

And yet, Homecoming isn’t a terrible game. [...] The atmosphere is brilliant as always, the scoring and sound effects magnificent (better than ever, perhaps) – but with this latest effort, which definitely falls short, I wonder if it isn’t time for Konami to consider an overhaul of Resident Evil 4 proportions. |
