Silence PS4 Review | Console Obsession

Console Obsession says: "A very long overdue sequel to the 1998 PC game The Whispered World, the first thing that captured my interest when I first started playing Silence was the stunningly beautiful graphics, especially that of the environments. I've described other games as being paintings that have come to life, though that statement is no more truer than it is here. The painting style compliments the games fantasy elements very well, sweeping brush strokes and a mishmash of tonal colours setting the overall mood of the game. From the outset, it gives you an idea of what to expect just from the incredible artwork alone; a game set in a fantasy land should have visuals that are a far cry from reality and this is one area that Silence excels at. But any avid gamer will tell you that good graphics in a game is only a bonus, and that it is all about the gameplay; it’s one thing to have a beautiful fantasy landscape, but it’s nothing if you can’t immerse the player in it and give them the interaction to explore it, so how does Silence fair?"
