The idea is great, the co-op makes the game a lot easier and more enjoyable. 10/10 for the environment 14/10 for the everything weather relate 10/10 for the wolfies and sledge 0/10 cannot pet wolfies It's obvious they intended more content for this game and the ending was rushed. It's a shame it was never completed.

Title: Fade to Silence Fade to Silence is a harsh snowbound survival action game that truly makes you feel the cruelty of a frozen world. Managing stamina, temperature, and limited resources while exploring the white wasteland creates constant tension, and the overall atmosphere is heavy and immersive. The action combat itself is enjoyable, with weighty movements that fit the survival theme. However, the difficulty is quite high, and beginners may find it unforgiving. The backpack capacity is very limited, forcing frequent inventory management, which can become frustrating over time. Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode suffers from many bugs, which significantly affects the experience. In addition, the camera movement can easily cause motion sickness, especially during long play sessions. I have not cleared the game yet, but while it has strong survival and action elements, technical issues and strict design choices make it hard to recommend without hesitation. Evaluation: - Many bugs in multiplayer mode - Backpack capacity is too small - High difficulty - Action gameplay is fun - Easy to get motion sickness - Not yet completed

great game combat was a little janky but once i figured it out could take out any mob without getting hit easily story was good as well overall 8 outta 10

Finally I managed to finish this game, and because it was a special one I want to rate it. Fade to Silence could be a great survival, open world game.. but it is not.. it is just GOOD not GREAT unfortunately. I love the basic concept, atmosphere, visuals. The frozen world which is try to kill you at all costs but you need to resist it. Base building, followers saving, hiring, etc. The crafting system is not overcomplicated and that is good. Fighting feels a little odd at first but if you get the hang of it, it is not so bad really. Which makes the game problematic are the bugs which make you fail instantly sometimes. Many ppl complain about game crash bugs. I have seen it a few times too but it didn't occur too often.. maybe 4 times durring my whole play and as far as I saw, it happens when you put the game into desktop mode and come back to full screen. So basically I really enjoyed this game until 2 things happened. 1st, started to run out of food too fast however saved only 4 followers in total because the camp had a limited space and also the food.. it is just too hard to get enough to be able explore areas calmed. However I played it in survival mode.. but still.. it was really stressing to push forward always just because needed to get more food for my survivors. This has made me to give up on stuff in the areas which I coudn't pick up when explored because of inventory limited space. 2nd I realized the game has just too many things which are making your progress blocked for no reason... like Blizzards, The Cloud of Debris which is showing up always when it shouldn't.. starving, tempreture, vave of attacks and that is not enough... there are also those stupid Tornado winds which are kill you instant.. these are made me give up on cleansing all the areas... so after these I finished the game in a hurry because lost my will to play.. Didn't even craft the level 3 gear because all of these and didn't even need it to finish the game in solo. At first it was really hard to start getting enough food and wood.. but after I managed to save to followers, everything changed and that was a real fun. To see my little camp improving more and more. :) +2 for Graphics, visuals, atmosphere and base idea +1 for Fighting system, crafting system beeing simple enough to not get lost in details. I give up many games because of crafting.. it is just boring and stressful to always pay attention on materials. +1 For base building mechanics, I just love them! / -1 for the size of the are which can be used for building.. I just feel most of the craft buildings to unnecessary.. many recipies could fit into 1-2 buildings.. don't understand why did I need a huge builing just to craft some parts... instead of upgrading the other one.. -2 for Bugs and game crashes, many times player can lose a life because of them and it is not so easy to get them back.. If they couldn't fix these issues why there is a limit for respawns anyway? :\ -2 for low amount of food which is making player to push forward always if he don't want the followers to starve and maybe leave the camp.. That way you need to give up exploring just everything because you don't have time for it.. (Don't know about moral because all of my followers were kept well, they were happy) -2 for there are just too many things in the game which is making your progress stop and become annoying mainly when the Tornados show up and start to kill you instantly.. that was the last drop for me. 7/10 , I recommend it only on big sale, like 75% off like I purchased it.

I LOVE it's environment I LOVE it's graphic design But gameplay could be smoother and more realistic, it hasn't different animations for mobs and npcs that child most of the time is nagging XD although it could be better, I can't resist playing it. It has lots of lovely natural designed and places to find
