    Despite being in Early Access stage for more than a year, THQ Nordic has once again published a title that obviously needed more development time, and as a result is suffering from several technical issues. Fade to Silence is yet another survival game with not enough new ideas, but it might still be fun for fans of the genre due to some of its features and gameplay mechanics.

    Fade to Silence succeeds in presenting a believable heavy winter setting, with pretty snow and effects that accompany it, but it’s hampered down by predictable and limited crafting recipes, derivative combat system and a very repetitive exploration cycle.

    Stunning visuals and survival mechanics shine in Fade to Silence. Unfortunately, companion management, bugs, crashes, and uninspiring combat lead to an experience that you just want to fade away.

    This could be a halfway decent addition to the ever-growing number of open world survival adventures. But certain design decisions like permadeath (which even From Software stayed away from) keep it from escaping mediocrity.

    Immersive, sometimes beautiful and pleasant in co-op, Fade to Silence is a game that unfortunately fails to bring a polished combat system, a good narrative experience, or even a correct technical side (bugs, crash, AI issues).

    While I do have a fair few hours invested in Fade to Silence, its slow opening and lack of direction had me struggling for longer than I would like... [Review in Progress]

    Cool survival game in a very interesting atmosphere. Like a lot the dog sled, blizzard and snow tornados.

Wait for a few patches or smth, because of its still early access game or don't buy it at all cuz the devs just lost out trust. Full Review »
