Silent Hill: Homecoming (2008)

Story:Silent Hill: Homecoming is the sixth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series. The gameplay is the same as it's previous entries, where the player searches for objects and uses weapons to defend against grotesque monsters while solving puzzles to advance further into the game. In terms of combat, the player is able to perform light and heavy attacks or mix them to perform combinations. For the first time in the series, the player may select responses when engaging in dialogue with other characters encountered in the game, which in turn may affect how the player sees the plot unfold.Show more

Despite Homecoming's reputation, I love it, because back in 08 this was my introduction to SH games (prior to playing it I saw the film and was aware of games, but never played them.), and made me fall in love with series. I can't even tell how many hours I've spent since then playing all the Silent Hill games and of course, listening to hauntingly beautiful Akira Yamaoka soundtracks. Homecoming may well deserve some of the critisims it gets, but sadly all the stuff the game gets right often gets overlooked, some due to poor technical performace and bugs. And while the steam version is available it's notoriously broken. I hope GOG can give this game the same update and makeover SH4 and Alpha Protocol got, making it easily accessible and playing well on modern systems.
This is one of the Silent Hill games that needs it the most. SH2 and SH3 are fully playable without issues thanks to fan patches, but the pc port of Homecoming in its current state is completely unstable, having a fully stable version of this game would be awesome.
Why Silent Hill: Homecoming Needs to Be on GOG and Why It’s an Underrated Horror Gem
Silent Hill: Homecoming deserves a second chance—and a proper place on GOG to ensure its preservation and accessibility for modern players. While it may not be everyone’s favorite in the franchise, it has aged into a cult classic, with themes and design choices that are more appreciated today than at launch.
First, having Homecoming on GOG would give fans a DRM-free version that runs smoothly on modern systems without hassle. The original PC release had limited availability and spotty support, so re-releasing it on GOG would provide an optimized version that allows players to revisit or discover the game without technical frustrations.
As for why it’s underrated: Homecoming offers a raw, emotional narrative centered around guilt, loss, and family trauma. Alex Shepherd is a compelling protagonist, and the game’s creature design directly ties into his subconscious fears and memories. Its combat system is more action-oriented, which turned off some fans initially, but it actually adds a new layer of intensity to the horror—especially in close-quarters encounters.
The soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka is haunting, and the atmosphere captures the eerie, oppressive tone that defines Silent Hill. Combined with strong visuals for its time and psychological depth, Homecoming stands as a misunderstood entry that deserves more recognition—and a new life on GOG.
Underrated Silent Hill game.. Need a few fixes from the steam version like..
- QTE fixes
- Crashes
- resolution cap at 720p fix
- Uncapped FPS
- modern controller support
- achievements
- dodging system improvement? (because there's none)

Tenchu: Stealth AssassinsTenchu: Stealth Assassins is an action-adventure stealth game developed by Acquire and published by Sony Music Entertainment Japan in Japan and Activision worldwide for the PlayStation in 1998. Tenchu is known for its stealth gameplay and the eerie settings of feudal Japan.
Tenchu was one of the first ninja games to incorporate stealth, a very crucial aspect of ninjutsu. However, aside from featuring traditional martial arts in battles, the game incorporates elements of historical fantasy and Japanese mythology. The game also used motion capture where actor/martial artist Sho Kosugi and his son Kane, were hired as actors for the game's combat moves.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth
Tenchu ZTenchu Z is an action-adventure stealth video game.
It is different from previous games in the series in that the player creates their own ninja characters, then builds up their skills as they play through the game rather than choosing from a small selection of pre-made characters, as they take orders from the series' previous main male character, Rikimaru.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth
Ōkami HDSix years after the release of the original, Okami finally graces a new generation of consoles on the PS3 as a downloadable title via the PlayStation Network. With full, native 1080p graphics, Okami HD breathes new life into the classic hit. Okami HD also takes full advantage of the PS®Move motion controller, providing players with a new way to play.

Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth AssassinsTenchu 2 is a prequel to Tenchu, telling a tale of events prior to those of the previous game.
Once again, you can play as Ayame or Rikimaru, two faithful and honorable ninja whose lord is a gentle man in an age of warfare. With your training nearly complete, you find yourself caught up in aiding your lord against a civil war in his own domain. All is not what it seems, however, and you'll soon realize that your greatest threat has been forged much like you.
Much like its predecessor, Tenchu 2 is a 3D third person stealth action game. You are not only rewarded for stealth, but also for efficiency of movement this time. This extra feature increases the difficulty of achieving the better items, as you not only have to be quiet, but be direct and near perfect in your steps.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth

Silent Hill: OriginsSilent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death.Horror Survival
