Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 187 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (853 of 918 positive).
Many note technical issues like bugs, crashes, and compatibility problems on modern systems. [1][2][3] Some reviewers find the story generic and controls dated, but still recommend it for fans of retro RPGs. [4][5][6]

It is a decent oldie with a familiar fantasy plot, but today it is difficult to recommend to anyone who isn't already acquainted with the game. Almost all controls on PC are designed around the mouse, even movement (as opposed to the thumbstick on Dreamcast). Enemy targeting, movement, and character switching all require the mouse, and the companions/enemies frequently get in the way because of the isometric view. …

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 …

Shame on you Steam. Its full of bugs, incomplete (rain dungeon not available, glass palace unavailable, special attacks not available) and this is just after 4 hours of game play. I finished the game back in '99 but now it just feels like Steam robbed me of one of the best games from my childhood. Game is awesome, but not this version that Steam sells.

Silver has a rather weak generic story with some nice twists, but it still offers a fun little adventure with likable characters, odd but nice combat and an amazing soundtrack. I absolutely recommend it, just be aware of possible compatibility issues you may have and dumb A.I partners. Pro tip: write down the location of all locked doors you find.

Silver is a distinctive action role-playing game that occupies a unique place in the late-1990s PC landscape, remembered less for technical perfection and more for its bold ideas and strong sense of atmosphere. Originally developed by Spiral House and published by Infogrames, and later re-released on Steam by THQ Nordic, Silver represents a moment when RPG designers were actively experimenting with how real-time …

91% of the 187 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Silver. The complaint that keeps coming up: frequent bugs and crashes. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Pre-release reception of Silver was positive. Preview coverage widely compared the game to Final Fantasy, and was purported to be a Western killer competitor for the series, with Edge stating the game featured "epic proportions usually expected from Japanese games of this kind". The developers stated games such as Final Fantasy VII had been released after development commenced and similarities to the series were only coincidental. Critics also praised the scope of the game's locations, its visual design and combat control scheme. Pre-release coverage for the Dreamcast also highlighted it filled a gap of few role-playing video games for the system. IGN was impressed by the ECTS preview,…

neutral · AI labelView post →Something about Silver Pines that's impressed me even more than the demo is that there's a lot more other characters we can talk to, strange and aloof characters who sound a bit off and disturbed, definitely give the game a more eerie and Lynchian vibe, like...

neutral · AI labelView post →Finished Silver Pines. This game has everything. Demons. Rockstars. Detectives in trenchcoats. A crippling anxiety as the world ends around you. Sure, it takes a page from classic survival horror games you've played before but when its metroidvania design is this satisfying all is forgiven.
