Never finished this one, I certainly would have remembered what you put in the spoiler warning, haha. I appreciated that SH4 tried to do something different for sure, but man, I couldn't get past the combat and the tedium of visiting a lot of the same places over and over again.

I know one could argue none of the Silent Hill games have good combat and that's true, but I always felt like I could overcome the more challenging parts in the previous games. SH4 just overwhelmed me.

That said, I haven't played it in 20 years, so I could be misremembering.

I appreciate you sharing your passion for the game here!
