Silent Hill: Townfall (2026) Townfall question, after first playthrough Spoiler

I seem to have gotten the bad ending and want to replay it to see the other endings. Question is, is replaying the game worth it? Does it have more stuff to discover on ng+? SHf did it pretty well with plenty pf new documents and cutscenes. Or is it just the same playthrough with just different endings?

I mean you get an axe...so there's that?

Nothing ruins a horror game better than a weapon that removes the combat from the game. The axe kills enemies with two quick hits even on nightmare. Give me an unbreakable pipe so I can happily fight enemies the intended way instead of just skipping fights with two swings.

which means you will get the bad ending again if you overuse it. genius game design

I got thr bad ending on my first playthrough and I didn't even kill many enemies lol. I just ended up using a handful of IV bags and messed up the surgery puzzle a few times.

It even kills the weight if you can sneak up behind him quietly and one power hit. Only when you first encounter him though in the other world

Didn't know you can even kill him.

I disagree.

I actually like games were unlockables change the playstyle. Townfall becomes more action based if you use those weapons.

And if course, they are entirely optional so not a big deal

That's my point. I don't mind the action. I just want the unlocked weapons to feel fair so they let ne engage with the combat properly. Killing everything witg two swings basically lets me skip all combat and that's not action nor fun. An unbreakable pipe/plank would be perfect.

I do see your point.

The weapons really are for speed running.

You can block and run away. I liked my 2nd playthough a lot and got a different ending without much fuss at all, particularly since you'll have knowledge of the game that go around.

I mean, using an unbreakable weapon wouldn’t be the intended way though would it? The intended way is using breakable weapons so you can be more strategic about it. If you’re aiming for the justice/forever ending the bonus weapons will help but still, you can’t really use them much to achieve that. I see the point of these weapons the same as the bonus weapons for resident evil, it’s meant for people trying to speed run/explore for collectables while getting rid of all enemies without worrying about ammo/resources.

For me personally, I like trying to get the platinum on games I like

I tend to play normal, then hard, then an easy run to get the speed achievement. Stuff like that, so iv played it around 4 times so far. Need one more

As for replayability, there’s nothing new really apart from the other endings, which are all shockingly quick and seem a bit half arsed to be honest. It’s like the developers made a cracking game, then rushed the end (just a personal opinion)

You do get a couple new weapons, but that’s about it

Before the patch I loved this game, loved the tension, loved the stealth, loved almost everything about it. Now it’s just meh, I did a full run this morning start to finish in just over 3 hours. I get that some people found it hard, but now every single mode is just way too easy. Especially with that damn axe 🤣🤣

I was pretty lucky with my first playthrough, I avoided combat as much as I possible could while also trying to collect every single document. I got the forever ending with 81 enemies killed and 80 discoveries, 7 phone numbers and 0 cannula's refilled.

From that I was able to get the justice ending (seems like killing less of the infinitely spawning mobs in the final boss got me to that point)

For the bad ending I just started from the beginning and used the axe. It was a nice change of pace being able to control the speed of the game when I could just kill everything in my sight
