Silent Hill: Book of Memories

201263/100
Hack and slash/Beat 'em upAdventure

Horror · Survival

A dungeon crawler with a Silent Hill skin, this Vita exclusive jettisoned the series' psychological horror in favor of a loot-driven experience. Players navigate procedurally generated labyrinths, battling familiar monsters in a top-down perspective, with the goal of collecting memories to alter their character's past. While the combat is simple and the story is forgettable, the addictive loop of grinding for better gear and experimenting with different builds provides a fleeting but compelling experience.

About Silent Hill: Book of Memories

Details
The protagonist receives a strange book on his birthday from an unknown sender in Silent Hill. All of his memories are written there, and by altering the book, he finds that he can alter past events in his life. Before the changes take effect though, the character falls asleep and must survive a nightmare, explore the Otherworld and battle creatures from previous Silent Hill games on the way.
