In this indie game review we are going to be taking a look at Silt on the Nintendo Switch. A dark adventure-puzzle game which sees you exploring the depths of a strange ocean and seeking the spirits of ancient goliaths to power some kind of unknown machinery.

Wow! This looks gorgeous… I'm waist deep in Sub Nautica at the moment, so I'm all about the creepy underwater ambience … Cheers for the heads up dude
This reminds me very much of Outbuddies, a Lovecraft inspired Metroid clone on the Switch that is well worth checking out.
my biggest take was that the diver was actually a diving suit, and you were simply inhabiting it.
At this point, I feel like side-scrolling silhouette games have created their own genre. What was clever in Limbo’s art style becomes unashamedly common in so many iterations of side-scrolling whatever. Barely tweak the graphics and mechanics and POOF! everyone’s throwing the word masterpiece around as often as they create rogue likes..rogue lites…wtf ever.
I really enjoyed Limbo and Inside and I had this one on my watch list. Your reviews are always spot on for me so I’ll pass on this one now. I think if you got frustrated with the precise movement aspect it will be a game killer for me. I’m an older granny and I find my reflexes aren’t what they used to be so I’m adjusting my purchases accordingly now. Thank you for saving my wallet on this one. 🙂
Currently playing this as it’s from a 2 man studio based in my town (Bristol). Basically having the same experience as you (great visuals and sound, solid gameplay, occasionally frustrating controls). Thanks for the review!
it's sad to see that there's not much to the game aside from its amazing visuals and atmosphere. a solid story, tight controls and clever puzzles would come a long way to make it stand out more. i never enjoyed little nightmares because it features the same issues this game does and imo visuals and atmosphere are not enough to carry a game from start to finish. limbo and inside are classics because they excel at pretty much everything and leave a lasting impression.
It’s beautiful. It’s makes great use monochrome color palette. I like short experiences. It’s drawing it’s influences from all the right places, too. This feels like a perfect Gamepass/deep sale pick up for me.
