- That taps into my disappointment with Silt: the design limitations fettering the promises of this cavernous & uncompromising world. Spiral Circus' wonderful art style and its more inspired moments still stay with me, but so does that yearning for more than what's offered.
Lee Mehr · Jun 23, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - The visual presentation, moody atmosphere, and interesting, if underutilized, possession mechanic makes SILT quite the experience that can be recommended with some strong caveats attached. But those gorgeous visuals may not be enough to carry this game, and it is only a handful of hours long and has no real replay value.
LCLupus · Jun 07, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The strength of Silt is in the atmosphere it creates. The art and the sound provide a horror-like vibe to this adventure puzzle game. And both of those aspects will pull you into the weird and mysterious world that Silt creates. The game doesn’t hold your hand in any of the puzzles. And while most times this isn’t an issue, as the puzzles are reasonably short and contained, it’s the lengthier ones where this can cause some frustration. Overall, Silt provides a unique experience, just not a perfect one.
Roger Reichardt · Jun 04, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Things picked up with the ending, but Silt‘s bosses are in sore need of an overhaul. Thankfully, Silt has plenty of stand-out encounters to help erase the memory of those few middling ones. If you’ve the remotest interest in what lies below, this atmospheric aquatic outing is well worth diving into.
Chris McMullen · Jun 01, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Silt is a fascinating puzzle game with a beautiful art style and poetic delivery, but the short length and unrealized potential leave Silt still needing to find itself.
Chris Baldwin · Jun 01, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Silt takes a solid concept, uses its ideas smartly, and doesn’t out stay its welcome. A few niggles aside, this is a great way to spend a few hours solving the mysteries of the depths below and the diver seemingly stranded within it.
Jamie Collyer · Jun 01, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - It takes nothing away from the real triumph Silt is, though, with stunning visuals, disturbing sound cues, and an enjoyable gameplay loop. Silt represents what's so special about indies: a great game just outside the norm.
Liam Croft · Jun 01, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Silt is a rather short, basic to control game. The story was intriguing from the start, and if you can look past how bland and unfun it is to play at times it might be worth checking out. For me though a nice art style and possibly interesting story simply isn’t enough to overcome how poor feeling and frustrating I found everything else.
Jesse Norris · Jun 01, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Silt is one of those rare few games that I will highly recommend to everyone. There’s just enough story to have your actions make sense and have purpose, while still being open to interpretation. The lifeforms within the seascape are well varied and creepy. The possession gameplay mechanic is refreshingly different and well-utilized. Silt ventures seamlessly into feelings of tension and awe in equal measure. It’s a relatively short experience, but it’s a gem of a game that sticks with you long after you’ve finished playing.
Heidi Hawes · Jun 01, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Silt is a unique game that perfectly blends the themes of horror and isolation. Due to the abominations that manifest within, unease spreads throughout and you will second-guess every narrow path. The wonderful puzzles offer a suitable level of challenge which will you keep you content. Even though the movement is a little rigid and it is relatively short, it’s a brilliant experience that taps into the darkest, depths of thalassophobia.
