Author Topic: [Image heavy] The Silent Age: Episode 1 and Episode 2- Game review for IPad  (Read 353 times)

Hello ladies and gentlemen of the Blockland forums.  The other day I was browsing the Appstore and came accross the game The Silent Age.  This is a game full of fun mysteries and a great story plot.  Episode one starts you off as you in your day-job as a janitor named Joe for a multi-millionaire company in the year 1965.  Your day starts out as usual when you find out that the other Janitor, Frank, has gone missing.  You get e memo in your office that you have been summoned to see your boss.  When you go down to your boss he tells you that you have been promoted to Frank's job position and have to clean the office, and now the Lab.  While going to investigate the lab, you find a blood trail that leads you to a missing contraption that you later find out is a time machine.  When you go into the room with the time machine, you find the guy who had the blood trail and he gives you a device that lets you change between the past and the present.  The story escalates from there!

Episode 2
This story starts after you find the time machine maker's house and you are on a hunt to find him.  I don't want to spoil this too much though, so I will make this short.  You are started on his private estate on an island and you must navigate through his house to find a secret door that leads you into a really deep story.  For $2.99, the episode was worth the money.

I don't understand why you think doing game review threads is a thing, but lets operate on the assumption that this isn't a weird ass thread and do some critiquing.


First of all, I love Silent Age, didn't know there was an episode 2, so thank you.

A review is not a summary. A review explains what something is without summarizing, and then it passes opinionated judgement on said explanation, whether mechanical, aesthetic, or otherwise. You did not do this, therefore you get a 2/10.

On that note, review scores are stupid. Review scores are either presented because of the laziness of the reviewer, or because the audience is too lazy to actually do research on something before they buy it. A review shouldn't need a score to communicate to the reader what the reviewer thinks of the game, and by scoring it perfectly '10/10', you negate any criticism you made of the game. You made no criticisms, which is not proof that it is a perfect game, but rather proof of an incompetent reviewer. Good job, OP.
