While the years following the original run of titles released by Team Silent are not often considered a prosperous time for the franchise, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories has managed to be remembered as a release which went against the reputation of lackluster rehashes. It may not have achieved the same degree of recognition that the first four games in the series have largely maintained, but its focus on innovation which challenged genre tropes has seen Silent Hill: Shattered Memories earn the status of an underrated gem in recent years.
