We're really excited to finally publish our review for Silent Hill Townfall. Screen Burn and @annapurna.com have done an excellent job at creating something completely unique for the franchise, yet also still feels like Silent Hill too. Read our thoughts here: theeliteinstitute.net/2026/09/29/s...

The Sinking City 2 tries to imitate Resident Evil so much that it loses itself in the process. Genre fans that aren’t familiar (or didn’t like) the original will likely still find enjoyment-but will they remember the game in a year’s time? I’m not so sure. theeliteinstitute.net/2026/09/01/t...

Will leave it at that I think. I'm not happy with it, especially with the death, but as it was down to the PC version freezing my controls and bad RNG, it also wasn't my fault. And with a better Lair, I'd probably mess up prison anyway.

2nd Silent Hill Homecoming run completed and managed to save seven minutes! The prison section went really well, although the rest of the run had a lot of mistakes - most notably against the Lair cultists and a death against Asphyxia. 33:28 LRT overall www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PSB...
