    It's a brilliant game, but the PS5 version has weird FPS issues. This is easily fixed by downloading the PS4 version, instead of the PS5 one. I haven't come across any of the PS5 FPS issues (so far). in the PS4 version on my PS5. I will change this review if they address the PS5 version. They must have known about this before they released the game. Not good.

    Silt is an atmospheric and visually pleasing experience, yet it lacks the finesse of similar games such as Limbo. It's a little clunky and unpolished, but the design and the mysterious story made me glad that I played it. Short but sweet.

    The controls are so freakin' hard to figure out. 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.

    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 remains grimly unsettling, and there's a sprinkling of ingenuity in many of its puzzles, but it's not as powerful as it promises to be. [Issue#373, p.118]

    Silt flawlessly executes a style that permeates its entire construction. The hand-drawn visuals evoke the deadly, alien mysteries that lie at the bottom of whatever foreign ocean it takes place in. Its swirling, environmental storytelling sets a high bar that is only let down by its short runtime. By placing a number of engaging puzzles between the end goal and the player, enough joy can be seeped out of this strange, fascinating game to make it worth the cost. Silt may not feel entirely unique for some, yet its setting and aesthetic have few rivals.
