Beautiful but easy game
1. What is Silence? Silence is the second part of the Whispered World franchise. It´s an adventure game developed by Daedalic Entertainment from Germany. You will play both characters Renie and Noah, who are brothers and sisters. 2. Do I have to play the fist game before I continue with part 2? No, silence tells it´s own story. You will have no problems to dip into the world and follow the storyline. If you have played part one you will recognize some nice hints. If you decide to start with part one you should know that it is a very hard and sometimes frustrating game, whereas part 2 is significantly easier and forgiving! Both games are very good indeed in their own way! 3. Technical details and issues It runs fine on a windows 10 64 bit machine and it needs about 21 gb space of your hard drive. After the latest patch I needed to start the game as admin to run properly (right click on exe-file). 4. What does the game right? -great and emotional storyline with lively characters -breathtaking backgrounds and visuals, pretty light effects and animations -very nice choice of classic puzzle elements and balance/movement-puzzles -good soundtrack -nice voice acting (German version) -very good controls both with controller and mouse -2 playable characters -2 endings -bonus material (pictures) 5. What does the game wrong? -playtime only 7-8 hours -long loading times when changing the screens/characters and when loading a save game from the main menue -starting problems after the latest patch (start as admin) -easy puzzle elements, maybe too easy for people who want to be challenged -abrupt ending (cliffhanger) -maybe a little too dark for a younger audience compared to the general appearance of the game 6. Final thoughts Do you miss the times when games had a heart? These times when stories and characters moved you in an emotional way? These times when games had so much love of detail and where so perfectly put together? This is one of that kind. This game will make you smile when little Renie grabs a some leaves and throws them into the air full of joy. Renie really steals the show when it comes to emotion, especially if you have children by yourself. Each scenery is so beautiful and could be easily your next wallpaper. Maybe the puzzles are too easy and the game is a little too short. But if you can overlook this, you will have a very emotional and stunning experience in silence.
