    A short but sweet dive with interesting fishy hooks. Even so, with limited choice and story it all ends up a bit too surface-level to be truly great. [Issue#16, p.150]

    Silt feels reminiscent of iconic puzzle adventures like Limbo and INSIDE, but its lack of originality and story see it fail to be as memorable.

The game itself is beautiful. The puzzles are fun. But there is no controls map, and I spent an hour trying to get it to work through three levels then finally pitching it down the street in frustration. Just the worst controls. I still don't know what they are or how to get them to work, and there's no place on the net to look it up.… Full Review »
