Good classic RPG. Controls take some getting used to, but the beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds, the fun dialogue, good music, and no pretenses about the story being more than generic fantasy, make it a joy to play. Silver knew what it wanted to be, but sadly got overlooked by critics comparing it to Final Fantasy 7. Glad to have the ability to play it once more. And don't worry, it's cheap to buy and runs fine on modern PCs with this port. Give it a shot!

Vibes are immaculate. Had 3-4 crashes during playthrough, so it's not perfect.

Silver is a charming late ’90s RPG that surprised me, but doesn’t fully hold up in the long run. First off, I was pleasantly surprised it runs smoothly on a modern PC, which is half the battle with games from this era. There’s a strong Final Fantasy-like vibe here, mixed with some light MetroidVania-style exploration, giving it a distinct identity that’s easy to get into. I also love the pre-rendered backgrounds - they’re gorgeous in that classic way and honestly make me yearn for that seemingly lost art style in modern games. Combat is where things get complicated. At first it’s confusing, then it clicks and feels clever - but once you’re dealing with larger groups, it quickly falls apart and becomes frustrating. The semi-autonomous party system adds some personality, but not having full control can be annoying when things go sideways. The story starts strong and pulls you in early, but as the game goes on, it loses some of that grip and becomes harder to stay invested. Still, there’s something undeniably appealing about Silver. It’s a product of its time, full of ambition and style. Not perfect, but definitely a worthwhile and interesting revisit.

Old classic. L:ove this game. Recently replayed in full and still holds up. I ended up switching to a GOG version instead as this ones seems more prone to crashing but could be my imagination. GOG still does crash a bitbut less in comparison. If it crashes here refund within 2 hrs and switch to the GOG version.

Silver (1999) Let me preface this by saying that I had never played this game before, never even heard of it. I found it randomly in an obscure collection of old fantasy video games. Which means that nostalgia plays no part in this review . With that said, I can’t understand how this game is mostly forgotten and never mentioned in conversations about fantasy games. Silver is a fantastic game. This isn’t the fancy restaurant where they serve you A5 wagyu that melts on your tongue, with candlelight, chandeliers and impeccable service. This is that one deadly delicious burger you randomly ate at some shabby burger joint once, that you still remember to this day. This game has something a lot of other games lack, and that is soul . This game is unique and charming, which for me outweights all the things mentioned below. Silver is a flawed game, no doubt about it. The game is old, and it shows. There are no in-game key binding options. Which not only means you can’t change some of the weirdly chosen keys for actions, but you also don’t actually have a full grasp of all the actions you can take. I looked up all the key bindings after finishing the game and, lo and behold, half the keys were unknown to me while playing. The quality of the voice acting fluctuates a lot, and since the main character has one of the worst performances, you really notice it. Some game design choices will make you go, “Why did they do that?”, and it definitely feels like one of those things that hasn’t aged well. Combat can be clunky at times too, but the worst part is your team’s AI. They aren’t really optimized, and a lot of the time they aren’t even worth micro-managing. It wasn’t until the last two “chapters” that I actually had to manage them to actually win fights. The soundtrack is alright, nothing mind-blowing. I wish there was more to say but it really is just some background music while you are playing (not terrible, mind you). Additionally, the characters can be hard to connect to since we don’t really get to know them. Its like they have personalities, but are only explored as a few lines scattered through the game. To top it off, the game is liable to fully crash under seemingly random circumstances, or just stop working propely and demand a full reboot of the game to continue. This is especially bitter since there is no auto-saving, and saving is limited. Finally the boss fights (although cool conceptually) are often mostly tedious and gimmicky instead of challenging and grandiose as one would like. Yet, I ended up loving the game. For me, the thing that originally pulled me in was the art style. As far as the games I have played or seen, no other game has used this kind of art direction. They use screenshot-like images as backgrounds for each scene, and they are stunning. A lot of them could be hung up on a wall without me questioning it. The characters and items are 3D models on top of them, and if you use the “pixel perfect” option chosen, the pixelated characters blend very well with the backgrounds. The story is nothing mind-blowing, and quite simple, but it’s one of those “classic” fantasy tales that I really respect. There is something about a simple good vs evil story. There is also a surprisingly vast repertoire of schools of magic, weapons, potions, and magic items to collect and use as well, which keeps things exciting. This helps a lot considering the game is mostly fighting and exploring aside from the main story. Combat, although at times clunky, is pretty unique. Some call it "gesture-based combat". It’s not just point and click, you can do different attacks based on your mouse movement (melee). The system is not complex and quite easy to pick up. I found it fun throughout the whole game. Although there is a leveling system, there isn’t any option to put points into specific attributes. You just get a general boost for the characters, which might sound off, but the progression still works very well in my opinion. The important part is that you actually feel your characters go from zero to hero from start to finish. As previously mentioned the characters themselves aren’t explored deeply, but you’ll still meet a lot of different people in this game with humor-filled dialogue and interesting personalities. The different settings for the areas are also a welcome addition. I mean, you can tell that this game is made by people who have played and understand the fantasy genre of video games. If you can forgive the faults of an older game, this is one of the few games which really encompasses the term hidden gem .
