I don’t usually write reviews, but I genuinely enjoy Silica, and that’s exactly why I’m writing this and have taken time to edit my original review for more clarity and easier understanding. "thank you devs for reading my review" I have nearly 120 hours in the game, and while there are definitely things I’d like to see improved, I want to start by saying that Silica has something very few games manage to capture. The immersion is phenomenal. Some of my favorite memories are fighting through the desert maps at night with a friend. Watching tracers fly across the battlefield, hearing vehicles and infantry exchanging fire in the darkness, and having battles that last multiple in-game days creates an atmosphere that’s incredibly unique. Those long, hard-fought matches are where Silica shines, and they’re the reason I’ve continued playing. My biggest concern is unit balance, specifically the dominance of Super Tanks and, to a lesser extent, Gunships. One or two Super Tanks on the battlefield feel exciting—they should be powerful. The problem is that many matches eventually reach a point where there are dozens of them. At that stage, much of the unit roster feels irrelevant, and the game shifts away from combined-arms strategy into “who can field more Super Tanks.” One of Silica’s biggest strengths is its scale. Infantry, APCs, tanks, aircraft, artillery, and real players all fighting together is what makes the game special. When one unit becomes the obvious answer to almost every situation, that variety starts to disappear. I don’t necessarily think Super Tanks should be removed. I think they simply need to be balanced so they’re an important part of an army—not the army itself. Whether that’s through stricter limits, higher costs, longer production times, or balance adjustments, I think preserving strategic variety would greatly improve the game. My second concern is early HQ sniping. Because manually controlled units have advantages over AI-controlled ones—better positioning, greater effective range, and the ability to exploit terrain—a single skilled player can spend the early game repeatedly attacking the enemy HQ. This often forces the commander to stop managing the economy, production, and overall strategy just to personally deal with one player. Meanwhile, the opposing commander can continue supporting that player with additional units, keeping the pressure going. It’s certainly a valid strategy, but I’m not convinced it creates the best gameplay. Some of my most memorable matches lasted multiple in-game days because both teams had time to build armies, adapt, and fight across the map. By comparison, HQ rushes that end the game in ten minutes often bypass everything that makes Silica unique. I’m not sure what the best solution is, but I think it would be worth exploring mechanics that make early HQ eliminations more difficult without removing them entirely. Giving commanders enough breathing room to establish their economy and strategy would likely create longer, more interesting battles. At its best, Silica is one of the most immersive large-scale strategy/FPS hybrids I’ve played. That’s why I’m leaving this review. I genuinely want the game to succeed, and if these gameplay concerns are addressed, I’d be happy to change my review to positive.

this game is neat, wished it was easier to use troop transport, wished there was an ai difficulty slider and it would be nice if there was troop formations like age of empires. Other than that this game is really cool and very cinematic.

Good game can you a bit more optimization
