Holds up even 20 years later
By and large, Silent Storm (S²) is quite similar to a game like Jagged Alliance 2. You have a team of six soldiers, and need to duke it out with enemy soldiers in round-based combat, where every action costs action points. There are six character classes, each with different abilities and their own skill tree, and experience is gathered mostly through killing enemies. What makes S² special is its scenario and level of detail. While set in a World War 2 scenario, S² is only partially authentic. The weapons and their ammunition have historic counterparts, but you also have armored body suits and beam weapons, so the game isn't realistic in that regard. Rather, realism is present in how the game world functions, as everything in the game is physicalized. When you drop a weapon, it'll move according to gravity, ballistics and bullet penetration are simulated, and with enough firepower, entire buildings may be leveled. When handling explosives, you may even blast a hole in the ground, and be required to traverse through the cellar. Accordingly, the game always feels dynamic and thrilling, even though you're essentially doing the same thing for dozens of hours. That said, S² requires patience. When your enemies or allies perform their actions, all you can do is watch, and early on, you'll have a hard time hitting enemies point blank, prolonging engagements even further. The expansion, Sentinels (S³), does a lot to fix many of the flaws of S²: turns are shorter, you're able to exit round-based combat more quickly, missions are more compact, and there is also a loot screen at the end of each mission, so you don't have to go around to pick up things yourself. In S³, everything has a price, including weapons and soldiers, which adds an additional layer of motivation. Hence, even if you don't like S², S³ might interest you nonetheless. Lastly, you may find S² crashing occasionally, which is solved by lowering graphics quality to medium.

Turn-based tactics done well!
One of the few turn-based tactical combat games that works well - great inventory management and selection of weapons, other RPG aspects such as skills. I enjoyed it so much it seemed to end a little too quickly for me - or perhaps it was simply the hours I put into it.

Best sequel after JA2
This game is fantastic. I consider this is a great and a very successful sequel to JA2. Fully destructible environments in the game adds infinite possibilities in each stage. Silent Storm is a spectacular turn based tactical squad based game and is still perfectly playable, still great graphics with great sound fx. Sentinels has also widescreen and better resolution options. Definitely A must have for any Gog supporter.
