A few years ago, Daedalic released a sequel to one of their older IPs. It was hands down one of the most gorgeous looking games I had ever seen, and a huge change from the previous entry. I played it on Xbox One and absolutely adored it. Now it’s available on Switch, and I’m happy to say that the port enhances the experience. I always underestimate how much the portable aspect of the system comes into play since I’ve always preferred home consoles to portable systems. But Silence works wonderfully as a quick pick up/put down type of game, and looks absolutely stunning running on the system. Having looked over my original review, it still holds up for my thoughts, so please read that if you want to know more about the game.

Here at GBG we use a rating method that you are more than likely familiar with – a scale of 1 to 10. For clarification, we intend on using the entire scale: 1-4 is something you should probably avoid paying for; 5-7 is something that is worth playing, but probably not at full price; 8-10 is a great title that you can feel confident about buying. If you have any questions or comments about how we rate a game, please let us know.
