Instead, James was able to upgrade his cleaned weapons.
Focus mode
Another new mechanic Silent Hill f In IS Focus mode, Hinako can slow down time, react to enemy attacks, and dodge or counter more effectively. In this state, counter attacks are encouraged to remain on the screen, making it easier to execute. in contrast, Silent Hill 2 Remake Relying on precise timing, counterplay approached differently.
