Silent Hill: Origins
Silent Hill: Origins is a 2007 survival horror game developed by Climax Studios and published by Konami. It was released worldwide in late 2007 for the PlayStation Portable, beginning in early November with the United Kingdom. A port for the PlayStation 2 was released worldwide in early 2008, beginning in March with North America. The fifth installment in the Silent Hill series, Origins is a prequel to the first game (1999). Set in the series' eponymous, fictional American town, Origins follows trucker Travis Grady as he searches for information about a girl whom he rescued from a fire. Along the way, he unlocks his repressed childhood memories. Gameplay uses a third-person perspective, and emphasizes combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving, similar to the previous installments.

Where Silent Hill: Origins sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Silent Hill: Origins lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 70ahead of 22% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 51ahead of 89% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.

Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
