    Despite the potential that Fade to Silence has, there is no denying that this is a bad game. It suffers from poor game play, poor development, lack of polishing, a useless narrative, unbalanced difficulty, a lack of focus, outrageous levels of repetition, the problems with this game just go on and on. However, this doesn’t change one thing. I had a ton of fun with this game. The $49.99Despite the potential that Fade to Silence has, there is no denying that this is a bad game.

However, this doesn’t change one thing. I had a ton of fun with this game. The $49.99 price tag is really steep for the quality of the game you’re getting. But for a second, imagine that really god awful movie, that you love to death because of how fun that movie was to watch. That was Fade to Silence for me.… Expand

    There are a lot of games out there that I purchase and don't end up liking. But, generally, I see how someone else might enjoy them and therefore do not feel jilted. Not so with Fade to Silence, this game is an abortion.

    Here are the highlights:
    A lot of systems but none feel meaningful or enjoyable. The setting is boring. Add to that their take on rogue-like games--none of the fun or the intensity, just tedium--and their take on "soulsborne" combat--hit, step, recharge, rinse and repeat, only danger coming from the poorly implemented camera--and I want my money back.

    My wife and daughter were out of town and I spent a whole weekend trying to get into this game. I want that time back as well.    … Expand

    It's good and super sweet but it's not, cuz it crashes. Devs couldn't make it work so they published a broken game. At the current state, you should NOT buy it. 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.

    This game is garbage. More like an alpha than a final release.

    - My workers never show up when I add them to my party
    - My daughter is saying she is always hungry even though there is plenty of food
    - The dog sled is absolutely useless and buggy
    - I never need to sleep because my sleep timer stopped working
    - My body gets stuck half way through the ground mainly when on dog sled
    - The fighting mechanics are pretty low end
    - Zero guidance or help offered in game...
    (God forbid you want to look up what an icon means)

    I wouldn't recommend buying this if it was free to play.... No lie...    … Expand

    Big Budget Studio uses Unity3D. I am sure this game will be great.... oh yes, its unity and runs like garbage.

    Not rewarding at all. Every aspect of the game feels clunky. I was bored 6, 60, and 600 minutes into it. GTFO my computer..

    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.

    Fade To Silence is a game that pushes all the right buttons, but it doesn’t push some of them quite hard enough. In a survival game, it’s important for hostile threats to be just as important as the resource gathering, management, and base building. The idea is there, the environment is there, but the mechanics are only half there when one half is a rather addictive base management system and the other half is overly simplistic combat.

    There are some positives, such as brilliant atmosphere, cool environment and interesting setting. But the negatives far outweigh them. Design mistakes, poorly thought-out features and absolutely atrocious combat consistently ruin any potential for having fun.
