>Is Silent Hill Downpour better than Homecoming?
Fuck no.
Homocoming was bad, but Downpoor was TERRIBLE.
It is THE absolutely worst main-line Silent Hill game ever made.

Both have two things in common:
Jewnami whored the IP to random, literal who Westoid studios, after kicking Team Silent out.
Both teams essentially tried to pull the "RE4" on the franchise, inspired by the explosive popularity of the more action-oriented nu-horror games (and then even Demon's Souls). Both were also produced and directed by this massive yank egohead known as Tomm Hulett, who's famous for having hot takes against all the TS' games, all while self proclaiming to be THE "Walking Talking SH Bible (tm)".

Now, as an actual oldass SH-fag, who played ALL the games as they came out (and still owns all of them physically), here's my short lists of critique for both:

>Homocoming:

-UFO ending is OFFICIAL and can be acquired on your first playthrough!
-Everything's copypaste from SH Movie: Pyramid head, titty-nurses, the "burning" otherworld-shift, the gasmasked cultists...
-Human cultist enemies. With guns!
-That fucking quick-heal button + clunky circle-menu... I wasted tons of supplies because of that
-Saw and Hostel references/influences
-That slide-panel puzzle
-Empty world, pointless running
-Can't-see-shit-capt'n, because the flashlight sucks + the image's coated in a dozen screen filters.
-Knife's The most powerful weapon: hit-hit-hit-StrongHit-dodge -combo stuns every foe!

>Downpoor:
-No Akira's soundtracks
-The MC's nonstop yapping is annoying
-Indicators, flashing items, and tips, everywhere!
-The chase scenes are annoying.
-Extra terrible, limited enemy designs
-Most side characters are literal 1-off jokes that come & go.
-The environments are all boring and filled withy copypasted ROOMS.
-"Side missions" are POINTLESS, as you lose your gear TWICE, and they don't affect the ending either!
-TERRIBLE combat.
-UT3 engine bugs and annoyances
-QTEs.
