The value story

The value story

Across all 65 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 5 days ago.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. The Evil Within 2 ($39.99, scores 66) outscores it, and so does Remothered: Broken Porcelain ($19.99, scores 6). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Silent Hill Homecoming

Critics scored it 64, but players land 16 points lower at 48 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 22 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2023 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 121 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 22 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 34 percent of the 839 reviews written there were positive, against 48 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 9.4 hours; clearing it takes 19, which is 2.0 times the campaign.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Cost per hour$4.25/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds22 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Works on my machine. What i did: 1. Install the community patch 2. Install stereo fix from mod nexus site 3. Connect a ps4 controller with ds4 windows (Not with steam input, had problems with it) 4. Used cheats, because the combat is absolutely atrocious and not worth it. By the way, the game sucks haha. I just play it because i'm a Silent Hill completionist.
