The Silent Age reviews

Fun little puzzle game with a main protagonist as beautifully out of place as it can get.

After spending a relaxing Evening playing the Game, I would also like to express my Opinion-in my first Review. What is it all About? You are Caretaker Joe who is promoted on a Working Day in 1972. Unfortunately, the Promotion of the Company Archon looks like that although he is allowed to do the Work of his Colleague Frank right away, he does not automatically get more Coal. Beautiful Crap! As if that were not enough, Joe discovers a few drops of Blood at his first Checkpoint, then a full-blown pool of blood And then comes across their Polluter, who is shot at in a mysterious Laboratory, quite quickly. As if the Boss wasn't scaring you enough anyway, this Unknown sends you on a very crazy Journey. Now you are already in the middle of the Story and probably one of the few Gentlemen of Creation who still wear Batting Pants in 2012. The Puzzles ... ... All of them are kept quite simple and once you have played a classic Point-and-click adventure, they can be easily solvable. It gets really tricky in hardly any Place, but the Game is therefore just right after a stressful day of work, study or School. There is actually no Place where frustration occurs and you have the Main Story in about 3-4 Hours through. The Gameplay ... Is used to. Collect Items, combine them with other Items, open Doors, solve puzzles. No big Surprises, but no coarser logical Carvers either. There is little spoken overall, but the Conversations are all linear, "Behind you, a three-headed Monkey!" So there is no ...;) The technical Implementation ... ... White to please. No Crashes during the Game, Graphics and Sound are good to very good for an Indi-name and appropriate to the Theme. The German Translation has a few Spelling Mistakes in it and the Font might be a bit smoother. On 1680x1050 it seemed at least somewhat pixelated, which is not very pleasant in the Long run. Is it Worth buying? At a £9.99s Steam price, I'd probably say ' Jein ' Due to the Brevity of the Game. If the Game is in Sale for a few Euros to have you access absolutely without hesitation. It gave Me a nice Evening with 4 Hours of best Entertainment. This is not done by many Movies for this Prize and I have already finished PC or Console Games unnerved for a much higher Price after a shorter time.

The story is awesome - and has captivated me from the beginning to the end. What a cool idea, casual guy on top of that. Have been looking for years for a successor of Police Quest and Space Quest from the 90s - and finally found. More of that!!! Was worth every penny or significantly cheaper than before at disk times :-))

I really enjoyed this game for the story's storyline. The puzzles are simple and quite intuitive once you understand the mechanism of the game. The first episode made me passionate and so I bought the second one: for the short duration of the latter I was a little disappointed in relation to the price. Cmq worth 4 stars!

I was already tied to the game after the first 1/4 hour and this always animated to solve the next riddle. I also found the difficulty right. If games are even heavier or more complex than this, I lose as a casual player at some point the desire if you can not get ahead in any places at all. Fortunately, this was not the case here. Spa and excitement from beginning to end. Great class and buy recommendation for the second paid part!

Scenario already seen with riddles too simple, however, the real 'of this game is crazy of all points of view and the gameplay quite interesting although basic. Big negative point all the same, it takes about 20 minutes of gameplay for the first chapter is free and then pay the sum of 5 to be able to have access to the second chapter that seems to be longer ... in any case I do not think that justifies such a price! Bitterness quite disappointing because of this last point but note that even though this game is very good!

The free episode just makes you want more, because the money for the 2nd episode I would consider as well laid out. The protagonist grew very close to my heart after a brief period of discovery and repeatedly caused me to be worried about his life during the game. The other characters are, if usually just touched briefly, consistent and fit together with the music and the speakers in the overall picture. The story is surprising and in my opinion succeeded, at least with me the tension has always been maintained. The only drawback, and therefore only 4 stars: the puzzles are in places extremely simple and predictable, I had expected especially in the 2nd episode trickier puzzles.
