Silent Hill Homecoming

Silent Hill Homecoming is Double Helix's 2008 survival horror title: soldier Alex Shepherd returns to Shepherd's Glen to find his brother Joshua. Combat leans closer to action than Team Silent's work, yet fog, an otherworld hospital and a western take on Pyramid Head remain. Konami published it. Ammo and first-aid counts stay tight: an extra burst in the fog often leaves Alex unprotected at a boss door. Buy the Steam key if you collect the Silent Hill line and accept more direct monster fights than the older PlayStation 2 entries.
