I’ve been on Steam for over 20 years and have played countless great games — but I’ve never felt compelled to write a review. It’s just not my thing. I’m also not typically into indie games. So when Project Silverfish popped up in my queue last week, my first reaction was a solid “meh.” For context: I wanted to like Tarkov — loved the concept — but in practice, it fell apart for me. I finished Stalker 2’s main story and enjoyed it, but something was missing. The immersion kept breaking, especially with the janky AI and enemies spawning in unnatural ways. What I do love are survival games that make you constantly evaluate the economy of every move. “I’ve got 6 shotgun shells... how many can I afford to use in this encounter?” Like many scarcity-driven games, Project Silverfish does ease up after the early game — but the tension never fully disappears. There’s always that sense of danger. Make a mistake — even a small one — and you’re taking a dirt nap. And if you don’t remember where you face-planted, say goodbye to your gear. Sure, you’ve got some backups stashed away, but let’s be honest — you were probably carrying your favorite gun. And now it’s gone, brosef. That risk/reward balance, the real consequences — it just gets it. I thought the low-poly visuals would bother me. They don’t. That’s because the sound design is absolutely phenomenal. It should be taught in Game Design 101. The audio builds immersion in a way most AAA titles completely miss. That said, the visuals occasionally shine too — like the strange “siren” phenomena I once watched float around a house in Metropol at 3 a.m. for five mesmerized minutes. Moments like that don’t come often, not even in blockbuster titles. As for gunplay — I’ve been an FPS player for decades, and while it’s nothing flashy, it feels right. Each weapon class handles distinctly, and the lack of modular attachments was a smart design choice. The developer deliberately avoided min-maxing, encouraging players to experiment rather than lock into one optimized setup. That kind of intentional, opinionated design is rare and refreshing. This game isn’t for everyone. It’s brutal, it’s unforgiving, and it doesn’t just refuse to hold your hand — it slaps it away. But if you’re willing to learn its mechanics (like navigating with a static map and compass), you’ll find something deeply rewarding. At the end of the day, Project Silverfish has more soul than nearly any game I’ve played in the last decade. Sure, it wears its influences — Tarkov, Stalker — on its sleeve, but it builds on them to create something truly unique. The passion behind this project is obvious, and if you’re into survival/horror/shooter/extraction games, this one deserves your time.

Was hesitant to pay the 30 bones for the full version, but it's an actual good immersive sim and stalker game with way more than I was expecting. I have 35 hours so far with one save on Mercy - 10 in game days, and another save on expedition - 16 days. I've explored all but the far east zones and up to this review I was still finding new stuff and figuring things out. Well worth the buy, I was pretty hesitant seeing as it's a furry or scalie game, but I realized, that just means they're autistic... which means the game probably won't be abandon-ware and I'll get more than my moneys worth. If the rest of the game is as packed full of stuff as the first few sections. I'll definitely have a game to burnout on after 200+ hours in the future

After putting 20+ hours into the demo I wasn't sure how much the EA version would do for me... Well it did a lot. This is the finest STALKER-Type game made in a decade and I love it for that, but all it has so many design decisions that are just so damn smart. And soft-extraction type is the perfect accompaniment for this type of game, figuring what the artifacts and anomalies do is fun (and how to exploit them, even better). The only real complaint I have is that I want more. It's probably greedy to ask for some sorta resetting/infinite procedural dungeon so I can really test my gear and search for the last few guns and artifacts I didn't find wiping the existing ones. But hey, wanting More is probably the best criticism a game can have.

It has great potential, but please get rid of RNG lockpicking(Make it Skill Base or something). I shouldn't break 20 lockpicks trying to open one door and then reload the game and open it first try.

This game feels less like an extraction shooter, and more like the fantasy of what an extraction shooter should be. Instead of dying in a single hit to some pixel 500km away, the game is balanced to kill you in something more like four hits at a minimum with a generous level of inaccuracy for most enemies. This slightly higher time-to-kill keeps combat feeling incredibly tense without the constant frustration of dying before the fun has even started. There's a general level of forgiveness to so many of the mechanics (generous carry limit, non-lethal hunger) which makes it so much easier to soak in the atmosphere and actually enjoy yourself while playing. And there's lots of fun to be had squaring off against the various factions in dynamic firefights and melee scuffles. Most fun of all is pitting different groups against one another. Just by shooting a weapon in the air like some sort of wastelander attempting to lower the rent in their neighborhood, you can quickly summon a horde of hungry dogs or eldritch monstrosities to dispatch the group of super soldiers blocking your way. The world is huge and full of interesting areas to explore, along with underground dungeons that come with their own gimmicks and challenges. You get the sense that there's a lot of weird stuff lurking at the edges of the map, because there is! There are tons of weapons and other goodies to find which makes exploration feel all the more rewarding. Looting itself is very enjoyable as the objects are physically positioned inside of cabinets and crates, forcing you to crouch down for a peek now and then. If you like the idea of creeping around a post apocalyptic wasteland, scrounging to survive, exploring cool ruins, and fighting weird dudes you should check it out! Also, you are a lizard.
