Silent Hill: Townfall Review - Kinda Funny Gamescast
Summary
Kinda Funny Games reviews Silent Hill: Townfall, with hosts Roger, Madeline, and Greg Miller joined by Kurt Indovina from GameSpot. The group discusses the game's strong atmosphere, soundtrack, and visuals, but critiques its repetitive stealth mechanics and obtuse final puzzles. While Madeline rates it a 7.5 and Roger a 7, Kurt gives it a 6, arguing the story answers too many questions without enough mystery. They also share humorous anecdotes about getting stuck on the endgame puzzle and the game's intense difficulty.
