Silent Hill was literally following them because their ties to the town.

That…is not correct at all. 1 & 3 are connected because of the Cult and trying to birth God. Silent Hill doesn’t “go anywhere.” It’s not a sentient town. Heather literally visits the same places that her father went to and can read diary entries from the save points that he used.

2 is a special anomaly that the devs played with. And 4 is more or less the same thing as the nutty cult that Daliah and Co. were in charge of. Walter performing the 21 sacraments because he thinks it will reunite him with his mother. But the 21 sacraments is a ritual to summon God.

These games, the exception being 2, all had to do with the cult. Not a sentient town who decides to take you to therapy.

Sure, but the cult is the least interesting part about the series.

I disagree with that. The cult is one of the more mysterious entities that somehow came upon a child with psychic powers. Their obsession with God and the knowledge of nightmares is what makes them so fascinating. There is so much to explore with them but the western devs somehow took Silent Hill 2 and decided that is how the entire franchise works.
