A hands-on report describes Silent Hill: Townfall, a first-person survival-horror game where protagonist Simon explores the foggy Scottish town of St. Amelia to find a woman named Zoe.
Why it matters

- Includes first-person combat and stealth mechanics utilizing a CRTV for signals.
- Features PS5 Pro enhancements like PSSR, ray tracing, and DualSense gyroscope controls.
