With the SH4 release on GOG I was thinking about replaying Silent Hill series and got curious about the opinion on the Western made entries.
I remember how a lot of fans of the franchise hated everything that was made post Team Silent, even Shattered Memories (despite it being the strongest entry since 3, imo). Obviously, SH2 and SH3 are still fan favourites and among the most celebrated games of the horror genre, but I think some of the negative reception towards later entries was overblown. Did the opinion changed in later years, or these games still hated as much as almost a decade ago?
