* TrueArtIsAngsty: While it's debated, some agree that the biggest strength is it's story, which is seen as one of the most [[TearJerker saddest]] and interesting stories in the series. It's a reimagining of Silent Hill 1's storyline and it explores the themes of [[spoiler: death, and to an extent, the five stages of grief with it's main character, Cheryl]]. It's also a 'what if' story in that [[spoiler: "What if the bad ending happened and Harry Mason died in that car crash, and Silent Hill really is just a normal sleepy town?"]]

* VindicatedByHistory: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] While not outright hated even at the time, it was, and still is, one of the most [[ContestedSequel highly debated sequels]] in the series, with the portrayal of certain characters being controversial, the complete lack of combat, and for just not being all that scary. However, as the years went by, some have looked back at it fondly with it's storyline being seen as one of the most [[TearJerker heavy plots]] in the series, and that some of the puzzles are fun to solve, as well as the therapy sessions being seen as an interesting mechanic that can affect the storyline's characters in different ways.

* ContestedSequel: Reactions towards this game are all over the place depending on who’s consulted. Is it a truly unique take of the original games story that brings it back to survival over action all while still manages to capture the feel of the earlier games, a bland, style over substance retread of the first game with questionable portrayals of the previously established characters and tepid gameplay, or a decent enough horror game that’s just a middle of the road Silent Hill game?

The amount of detail put into it, especially the gameplay of motion controls that contribute to the ending, and its influence seen in other visual novel-like games (which has also become popular in the next decade) has made people look back at it fondly.

* VindicatedByHistory: Initially loathed as another cash-grab by a Western developer, the years have been very kind to the game. The amount of detail put into it, especially the gameplay of motion controls that contribute to the ending, and its influence seen in other visual novel-like games (which has also become popular in the past decade) has made people look back at it fondly and question why no other game has copied ''Shattered Memories''. Suffice to say, people laud this game as one of, if not ''the'' best post-[=PS2=] Silent Hill game, as well as a better remake than ''Homecoming'' tried to be.
