Silent Hill: Homecoming (2008)
Genres:Adventure, Puzzle
Themes:Horror, Survival
Game modes:Single player
Story:Silent Hill: Homecoming is the sixth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series. The gameplay is the same as it's previous entries, where the player searches for objects and uses weapons to defend against grotesque monsters while solving puzzles to advance further into the game. In terms of combat, the player is able to perform light and heavy attacks or mix them to perform combinations. For the first time in the series, the player may select responses when engaging in dialogue with other characters encountered in the game, which in turn may affect how the player sees the plot unfold.Show more

Despite Homecoming's reputation, I love it, because back in 08 this was my introduction to SH games (prior to playing it I saw the film and was aware of games, but never played them.), and made me fall in love with series. I can't even tell how many hours I've spent since then playing all the Silent Hill games and of course, listening to hauntingly beautiful Akira Yamaoka soundtracks. Homecoming may well deserve some of the critisims it gets, but sadly all the stuff the game gets right often gets overlooked, some due to poor technical performace and bugs. And while the steam version is available it's notoriously broken. I hope GOG can give this game the same update and makeover SH4 and Alpha Protocol got, making it easily accessible and playing well on modern systems.
This is one of the Silent Hill games that needs it the most. SH2 and SH3 are fully playable without issues thanks to fan patches, but the pc port of Homecoming in its current state is completely unstable, having a fully stable version of this game would be awesome.
Why Silent Hill: Homecoming Needs to Be on GOG and Why It’s an Underrated Horror Gem
Silent Hill: Homecoming deserves a second chance—and a proper place on GOG to ensure its preservation and accessibility for modern players. While it may not be everyone’s favorite in the franchise, it has aged into a cult classic, with themes and design choices that are more appreciated today than at launch.
First, having Homecoming on GOG would give fans a DRM-free version that runs smoothly on modern systems without hassle. The original PC release had limited availability and spotty support, so re-releasing it on GOG would provide an optimized version that allows players to revisit or discover the game without technical frustrations.
As for why it’s underrated: Homecoming offers a raw, emotional narrative centered around guilt, loss, and family trauma. Alex Shepherd is a compelling protagonist, and the game’s creature design directly ties into his subconscious fears and memories. Its combat system is more action-oriented, which turned off some fans initially, but it actually adds a new layer of intensity to the horror—especially in close-quarters encounters.
The soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka is haunting, and the atmosphere captures the eerie, oppressive tone that defines Silent Hill. Combined with strong visuals for its time and psychological depth, Homecoming stands as a misunderstood entry that deserves more recognition—and a new life on GOG.
Underrated Silent Hill game.. Need a few fixes from the steam version like..
- QTE fixes
- Crashes
- resolution cap at 720p fix
- Uncapped FPS
- modern controller support
- achievements
- dodging system improvement? (because there's none)

Metal Slug 6Metal Slug 6 returns to the Rebel-Martian alliance featured in Metal Slugs 2, X, and 3, but on a much broader scale. Rather than repeating the previous games' events of the Martians breaking the alliance and the Rebels assisting the player in turn, the player now teams up with the Rebels and Martians to combat an even greater threat.
Metal Slug 6 introduces a new play mechanic dubbed the 'Weapon Stock System'. Two gun power-ups can now be carried at the same time. Players can switch between the two weapons, or simply put them both away in favor of the default weapon. When obtaining a new weapon power-up, it will automatically occupy the inactive slot, or, if both are holstered, replace the less recent weapon of the two.
The score is now multiplied by powers of 2. The faster the speed at which enemies are killed, the higher the power, as a meter at the bottom of the screen shows. When it says "Max" enemies and destructible objects will drop coins for an extra high score.Action Warfare
