Great visuals and sound design
Fairly linear
not overly innovative
In many ways, this is a quite an improvement over the first and second game in my opinion; the characters are better (especially in the case of Heather who has VASTLY more personality than Harry or Jemas), the graphics are improved, the puzzles aren’t so annoying etc. BUT, the core gameplay along with the enemy conflicts are nearly identical- as in they’re pretty lame. You can literally RUN around almost EVERY single enemy, and the areas are so sparse and, while they’re realistic, they end up feeling extremely empty at times. Like I said, an improvement, but not super exciting in the end.

It was an awesome game, definitely felt like a good closure to the series to me. I personally think Silent Hill 2 is the best, but this was a really solid game. And i think Heather was a really nice change (and super cool to see her all grown up from the 1st game) And the combat system was great on the account that it still felt like the original 2 games but smoother, and some bigger guns. The story was good, but unfortunately not as chock-full of symbolism as the 2nd game was (though there is still some), losing a lot of that impact its predecessor had on me personally.
In my opinion, Silent Hill 3 is the last good one of the series (Silent hill 4 shoulda been its own thing as room 404) And is totally worth the play.
