I dislike maps like Yamaoka Estate, Crotus Prenn Asylum, and Hawkins National Labratory because I can never find loops on these maps.

I like maps like Macmillan Estate, Coldwind Farm, Midwich Elementary, and Autohaven Wreckers.



A map suggestion I have is the Hawkins Middleschool.

    Hmmmm I hate Yamaoka now. As survivor it's horrible for deadzones and as killer I can't see anything. Also hate autohaven, the cornfields, mcmillan... most of the them, hate the asylum (but I do like the church one)... what else? I hate Springwood too.

    I like Hawkins, Lery and I even like The Game... These 2 first ones because I tend to use kindred and bond so I can have wall hacks when the killer can't... and I also love playing Pig. Besides I like the Saw franchise, so I like The Game, even though I mostly die there hahahaha.

    I also love Silent Hill, so I mostly like midwich. But I hate that I can't loop there :(.

    I hate open maps, in gereral.

    Love Midwich, Glenvale and the Lery's. The environment is immersive there.

    I don't really hate maps, but the ones I think that fail are either unremarkable (Shelter Woods, nothing to see there) or failed to capture the feeling (Temple of purgation, really expected some Petra style architecture with mountains/desert)

    I like Father Campbell's Chapel and Torment Creek a ton. Most of the MacMillan maps are decent and I actually enjoy Lery's too (yes yes, I know).

    I can't stand Sanctum of Wrath (remade version is even worse than the old one) and Wreckers Yard (didn't try the PTB one). Haddonfield, Hawkins, Ormond (didn't try the PTB one), and Midwich are pretty bad too.

    Honestly I love them all except Hawkins. It just seems so bland and dull.

    I always have hard times as killer on badham. I don't know why.

    My least favorite map is ormond and I dc whenever I get a corn map. Unless I'm playing Freddy who has a grey tint instead of a orange one, I can't see for shite and get really nauseated.

    My favorite indoor ones are Midwitch, hawkins, and lerys. My favorite outdoor ones are Macmillan and autohaven. Although I wish there was a way through the darn car piles man

    Favorite Maps: Coal Tower, The Chapel (Because they are actually balanced). Aesthetic wise I'd say Ormond and The Saloon.

    Least Favorite Maps: Red Forest, Haddonfield, Swamp, Yamaoka, The Asylum (All of these maps are a complete nightmare to play on). Aesthetic wise Autohaven because I hate it's puke-green tint.

    Delete From The Game: The Game, that map can burn in hell.

    Favourite map on both sides:

    Least favourite map(s) on both sides:

    All Macmillan maps - particularly Shelter Woods. They're just dark, blue and boring gameplay-wise.

  • Chordyceps

    Probably my favorite maps are Red Forest and Crotus Prenn Assylum. Of all the maps in the game, they honestly feel the most balanced to me.


    My least favorites are probably Hawkins and Midwich. With the maps mostly being composed of tight, cramped rooms with long walls, they are very difficult to mind game on, and honestly boring to play.

    Every night I play killer, I can bet money that my first three games will include Haddonfield and Springwood, usually in that order. These and the Game are a pain in the neck on a bad day.

    My personal favorite is Ormond, for either role.

    I like Yamoka, Dead Dawg, Midwich, Hawkins because I just like the way they look

    My lease favourite map has to be Badham. This is only because it comes up far too much and and there are 5 freakin versions of it.


    I'm not a fan of the swamp or Lerys either.

    The Game and Hawkins are just annoying to to get because they're so closed in.


    I enjoy midwich and Hadonfield


    The base maps are fine my least favourite of those is rotten fields. that corn sucks.

  • APoipleTurtle

    My opinion is that Father Campbell's Chapel is the best map in the game. Though I think Coal Tower and Wrecker's Yard are close seconds. I usually have a great time when playing on these three maps as either role.

    My absolute least favorite map is a joint tie between Shelter Woods and Rotten Fields. They are both huge and pretty empty, which makes them tremendously boring to play on in most circumstances.

    My favourites are the game, midwich and dead dawg saloon. My least favourites are Hawkins and Badham.

    My least favourite maps are 'Shelter Woods' and 'Rotten Fields', on the basis that both maps are plain dull. They feel a little like when the realms were conceived the designers there was a set amount of maps they wanted for each, and ideas ran out one short. These 2 maps just feel uninspired.

    My favourite maps are 'Ironworks of Misery' and 'Dead Dawg Saloon'. Both maps have plenty of room for different plays, feel large and varied, and I'd especially like to say the 'Dead Dawg Saloon' for me is the best designed map.

    Also, a special mention for Midwich, which simultaniously ranks very high and very low for me: High in terms of the level of detail the designers went into, but low in terms that the design of the school doesn't translate well to this genre. I felt that the fairground may have been a better choice for a map, although I do understand the iconic status of Midwich within Silent Hill.

    My least favorite maps are dead dawg saloon and indoor maps. Saloon makes the game a slide show at random while indoors practically turns huntress into 110 m1 killer barring windows and pallet drops.

    Favorite I think would be some instances of autohaven and groaning storehouse sincd they give a good mix of hiding and running without being too into either like the farm or yamoaka

    i like nearly all maps as killer and survivor exept nurses map it´s to big and it takes to long to go to a loop or find patrol gens + swamp and yamayoka cause they have very little loops in it and to many bushes

  • whammigobambam

    As survivor all maps are fine. map selection to enhance your build is not fine and the most abused map I see this for is Lerys.

    As killer i hate Hawkins because of the walls that go on forever reminds me of waiting in an amusement park line. Haddonfield has these as well as midwich. Are these long walls fun for anyone not using object of obsession?

    Father Campbell's chapel and coal tower are the last 2 good maps left tbh. Autohaven maps have been a mess for a long while ever since they decided to touch them. Pale rose and grim pantry are *almost* decent, but the damn piers man, they're so dumb.

    Midwich and Hawkins are by far my least favourite maps. So much blocked line of sight and traversal, gameplay boils down to running in a circle until the killer is near, then you run into a room and loop a pallet that cannot be mindgamed, and then you rinse and repeat until the 6 good pallets are gone and you die. And as killer it's even worse. So incredibly boring and terribly designed. The Game also has similar problems, but there are 4 times the amount of super safe pallets. How anyone can think that The Game is a killer sided map is beyond me.

    Honestly they would improve the game if these maps were deleted from the map pool, they're that bad.

    for killer its depending, as example i love to play on rotten fields with huntress but with other killer it sucks. every killer has his good maps i would say.

    but generally i hate to play on haddonsfield, blood lodge, ormond, disturbed yard as killer.

    for survivor its Hawkins, lerrys, elementary school, dead dawg saloon, and the long maps azarovs resting place and suffication pit i hate these 2 maps also with killer.

    My favorites are Midwich, Saloon, Badham and haddonfield.

    I hate Autohaven, Lerys, swamp and crotus.

    I don't know if I have a favorite, but The Game is the worst. Badham is a very close second because the game acts like it's the only playable map we got
