I generally agree, but the sexy nurse critique is hard to take honestly. Even the devs themselves reused the sexy nurse in future games because it became so iconic, even though they didn’t make sense for those protagonists necessarily.
They also reused Pyramid Head. Silent Hill 2 became so iconic in the series that they just brought things specific to James’s experience into other games. There’s been a lot of criticism of that, but also a lot of fans dont seem to mind. Even the original designer of Pyramid Head was disappointed that the character was reused in later games because he designed the character to appear as a manifestation in James’ mind specifically and so the final design was based on James himself. I personally still enjoy the later games myself, but after all of this was pointed out to me I can’t not see it when playing the games or watching the movies lol
