Grab The Games: The Silent Age

Another port from mobile to pc you say? A game we have already played? Maybe this is the case, maybe it is not, we will find it out right now. But what is The Silent Age? Lose yourself in The Silent Age, the thrilling point-and-click adventure with over seven million mobile downloads, completely revamped and updated for PC. Help Joe as he travels between the groovy present of 1972 and the apocalyptic future of 2012 to discover the truth behind humankind's extinction quest entrusted to him by a dying man from the future.

Use your portable time travel device to solve puzzles that bring you closer to answers and saving humanity. The first thing that I enjoyed in this game is definitely the graphics. The world and the locations are really vivid, full of colors and honestly the Ultra HD graphics creates an even better atmosphere for the game. The music is simply brilliant and the new addition to the classic ipad game, the voice over of all the characters is definitely one of the futures that enhance the overall experience of the player.

The above futures also improve the whole story as well which is breathtaking, deep and you can't wait to solve the puzzles and get to the next level. Furthermore, the puzzles in this game are really smart and difficult sometimes because you have to time travel and search for specific objects that will help you solve the game's mysteries. The title also succeeds to make you think if a simple janitor can really save the world!

I also forgot to mention that the game has cloud support and achievements. However, there are some negative aspects that I should mention. First and foremost, the game is too short and you can easily finish it in 2, 5-3 hours' tops. Also the puzzles sometimes are really hard and you will find yourself time travelling back and forth until you find the right things to do. To be honest also, I could't find anything else to mention as a negative even that I really tried.

To sum up, this game combines: Ultra HD graphics with clever puzzles and a captivating storyline that will keep you busy for hours. What else you want from a game? Totally recommended!

Verdict: 9/10
