NZGamer: "It is a pity then that we can't help but be retrospective. Viewed as a standalone title, Silent Hill: Homecoming is extremely competent, but as a sequel, it falls short of progressing the series in any meaningful way. Nonetheless, its familiar territory will always sit uneasily, and all we can do is hope that the inevitable number six will explode the peculiarly reserved world wide open into something more anarchic, and really give us something to talk to the psychologist about."
