A major leak has given us our first look at the critical reception for Silent Hill f, and it’s a glowing one. A DualShockers writer has revealed a “genuinely spectacular” experience, rating the highly anticipated horror title an impressive 9.5/10. The leaked review appears to be a clear violation of an industry-standard embargo, dropping just before the game’s September 25 release.

According to the leaked review, Silent Hill f features a challenging combat system that is demanding but not “souls-like.” The narrative is described as completely unique within the franchise, yet it maintains the unmistakable feel of a Silent Hill game.

Review also confirms key features that add replay value: multiple endings and a New Game+ mode that continues the story. The writer noted the game includes disturbing scenes and advised that content warnings are important. To fully grasp the story, players will need to pay close attention to the game’s written lore.

The premature publication of the review is a significant breach of the publishing embargo, a legally binding agreement that prevents journalists from releasing information before a specified date.

Quick deletion of the original post suggests the writer realized their error, but the information had already spread. Konami, as the publisher, has remained silent on the matter, but internal actions are likely already underway as they assess the damage and manage the narrative for one of their most significant releases in years.
