Not the best co-op/multiplayer experience, but a fun game all the same.

9 / 10 Great, but there are lots of flawed decision making. Eg. finite resources, Permadeath, and a slilly sequence full of jank where you have to risk everything on jumping from ledge to ledge right at the end of the game!

Great deal on sale and i like most of THQ nordic rpgs .Not as boring like an AAA title. and way fun. I'm impress with the game and surprised that it did not do better in sales .(You pay 29 for a dlc those days...).

fade to silence is a game that anyone who plays it would wish the best for it! pretty strong story and beautifully designed enemies and environment.(specially the inner voice that i loved the most in this game.) very very simple combat gameplay and almost every other things in the game will get repititive and somehow boring(you may play the game and do stuff to reach the end just for the story of the game which is somehow a mistery! and AGAIN pretty good!) as much as you get closer to the end of the game , the bugs and actually crashings will get more in teleporting , riding the sled , or simply just hanging around. altough i give this game a positive feedback , i only suggest to buy the game if you have free time and good nerve to deal with the different problems of the game. the super PROs of the game are: 1 the sled and the wolves 2 inner voice(great voice acting and monologs btw) 3 obtaining and using those followers and the whole building and crafting 4 story 5 creative yet frustrating trash moon in the sky which i died twice in row just to a wolf rescue cutscene. almost every other stuff seems not taht good to point!

Such a love/hate relationship I have with this game On the surface, it's a typical open world survival horror crafting game with it's own form of base-building and tower defense The atmosphere is amazing. Lovecraftian all the way to it's core, basing itself from the tale 'At The Mountains of Madness' https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860151238 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860151011 "Fade to Silence" plunges players into a chilling Lovecraftian world where survival is not just a goal, but a constant, harrowing journey in fighting insanely difficult enemies to looking for other survivors to help assist you at your refuge camp. From the moment you step into this desolate landscape, the game envelops you in an atmosphere dripping with dread and despair. Yet, it's the game's atmosphere that truly sets it apart. The oppressive silence of the frozen wasteland is broken only by the distant howls of unseen beasts and the whispers of madness that echo in the wind. It's a world where every shadow hides a lurking terror, and every step forward brings you closer to the abyss. This game can be EXTREMELY unfair.. which brings up my love/hate relationship with it. There's a permadeath variant to where if you lose your 'flames' ( I believe you start with 3 to begin, with more to be discovered in the game) and if you lose those flames. You have to start the game completely over. So just imagine surviving 30 days in-game only to be wiped out by a one kill from an enemy called 'The Stalker' or freezing to death in a blizzard because you traveled to far from camp to look for supplies. The combat tries to be Souls-like but it's a little janky especially playing with keyboard and mouse. It's not the worst, however it's not the best, but it's enough to keep me playing it and attempting to beat it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860150998 But amidst the darkness, there is hope to be found in the form of base building. As you scavenge for resources and recruit survivors to your cause, you'll gradually construct a refuge from the encroaching madness. Building and fortifying your base becomes not only a means of survival but a beacon of defiance against the encroaching darkness. Each upgrade brings a sense of accomplishment and security due to a complex and sometimes grindy crafting system, a temporary respite from the horrors that lurk beyond your walls. Make sure you find as many Flames as possible hehe. Soooo in conclusion.. Do i recommend this game? YES if you fall in the following group: You love lovecraft themed games. This one is a good adaption of HP's tale. If you love punishing survival games, or intriguing stories. I think you should give this game a go, but be warned. It can be unfair and you will die alot. So tread that 'winter wonderland wasteland' carefully 8/10
