Review
Silent Gear is a mixed bag. There were some parts which I think were good. The missions, skill checks and ability to select loadouts. This part was pretty fun. Failure is possible in missions, but the game thankfully has a checkpoint system to prevent lost progress.
That said, the writing is very rough, and while the story is fairly interesting at first, it later goes off the rails, and the ending just felt unsatisfying. I'm also wondering if the final parts were rushed, since it's heavy on choiceless pages of text without the usual action gameplay.
There are a couple of minigames, some of which are optional time-wasters and the rest being combat sequences. These are mostly ok, although the combat minigame feels very luck dependent.
The first few missions provide a solid gameplay experience, with the ability to make tense choices and item decisions. That said, the story starts breaking apart towards the end, and the writing is another issue. Still, it's a free title, so you might want to give it a try if it appears to be your thing.
