    SILT is an interesting experience in atmospheric puzzle gaming. The underwater sound design muffling everything around you manages to immerse you into the sea bottom world as you solve the well designed puzzles throughout. There are a few areas near the very end of the game that get frustrating, but I could count the number of rooms like that on one hand. If you like something creepy, something that gets the gears in your brain turning, or for some reason just like the scary part of the ocean, you should definitely slap on a diving suit and jump headfirst into SILT.

    An underwater adventure with a sombre twist, Silt is host to some fantastic platforming and puzzle-solving that dares you to explore its terrifying depths even further. Not everyone will have the patience to uncover its mysteries, but those who do will be rewarded.

    SILT has really good ideas that sometimes are obscured by its lineal design. However, this doesn’t prevent it from being a very interesting experience.

    Silt is a unique game that perfectly blends the themes of horror and isolation. Due to the abominations that manifest within, unease spreads throughout and you will second-guess every narrow path. The wonderful puzzles offer a suitable level of challenge which will you keep you content. Even though the movement is a little rigid and it is relatively short, it’s a brilliant experience that taps into the darkest, depths of thalassophobia.

    This game is painfully blend. Extremely basic gameplay with repetitive and uninspiring "puzzles", boring enemies, and abilities. LacklusterThis game is painfully blend. Extremely basic gameplay with repetitive and uninspiring "puzzles", boring enemies, and abilities. Lackluster level design and tons of unnecessary loading screens.

    This game tries to be like other successful titles in this "creepy puzzle platformers", and fails miserably in pretty every aspect, except may art, and even that sometimes clashes with overall aesthetic of the game.

    There is very little to explore, solve, or discover.    … Full Review »

The visual comparison to games like Limbo will soon be forgotten I’m sure. Silt is an indie game with its own nightmarish rules and a subtle logic. There is challenge to be had in its puzzles, so if mind-bending nightmares are your thing, and if you like the thought of possessing and sucking up the souls of giant creatures then hopefully you also think it deserves the award below.… Full Review »
