Frankly, I’m not surprised.Homecomingwas bloody awful and perhaps the worst console-basedSilent Hillgame ever made. Yes, even worse thanThe Room, which happened to have its high points despite what everyone else thinks. If I were a JapaneseSilent Hillfan, I’d consider myself very lucky that I dodged a bullet with this thoroughly dickless game.
