6.5	Gameplay While the combat system is extremely flexible and gives Alex a lot of different attacks to launch, it makes him way too skilled to take on the monsters of Silent Hill.

 What? Too skilled? Too skilled to take on monsters? I dont understand how thats a bad thing.

 

Defeats the entire purpose of the game. Being scary. If you can own the monsters, why are they scary?

Yea. If game still "scare" you then you need some growing up to do. No YOU in general but anybody. I say its a good thing in my eyes but whatever.

 

You don't undestand what he or IGN were saying. There is an imbalance in the game that takes the tension out. In a nutshell, imagine placing Kratos in Resident Evil 2. Having a character too powerful makes the game lose it's appeal as survival horror when the player can thrash the enemies mercilessly. This is what seems to have happened to a less exagerrated degree in the new Silent Hill.
