Silica

It's awesome!

Silica attempts something many games have tried and failed to do: combine RTS and FPS gameplay. One moment you're calmly overseeing the battlefield as a commander, the next you're controlling a soldier in the middle of absolute chaos. The transition from strategic overview to lasers, explosions, and an alien chewing on your face is hilarious! XD The game is also visually gorgeous, and the atmosphere and core gameplay are already well working... mostly :P Recommended!

No idea if this game is any good. But, I just couldn't get into it. Plus the game runs very poorly. Its not as if I have a bad PC either. The game is just badly optimised. This game has been out in early access since 2023, and it runs this badly. Even when dropping the settings to high, it was bad. Yes, I got about 100fps when alone in the wilderness. But when there was tons of stuff happening on screen the fps dropped to around 30 to 40 fps. Plus there just isn't much content from what I can see. No campaign, no meaningful tutorial. This game is just not for me, refunded.

Played it for just over an hour. There`s nothing here. No tutorial. The bit where it says handcrafted solo missions, there is one very short, on foot mission. I mean, I suppose you either jump into a multiplayer game, there was 1 game going with 5 ppl in, or try the solo skirmish mode against poor AI. Not for me. Not until theres more content than one mission and empty servers. Shame, looked pretty good.

I get that this is in beta, and for a beta I am definitely impressed, these types of RTS/FPS games have some really cool features, and this game seems to do both RTS/FPS better than any of the other games that claim to do the same thing, that being said, the AI in this game are what really make me headbang. Like with all of the things I said this game does well so far, the AI's direction taking ability is equivilant to that of a rock trying to bang its head against the wall. You tell the AI to go one way in this game, and the AI will run into the wall continuously until your base is destroyed type of bad. So if you can get past the AI being brain dead then you might be able to enjoy all of the things this game actually does do well.

needs work but fun
