While typically subtle and smart, with allusions to working class life, Silicon Dreams could've done without the cringeworthy references to Blade Runner and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I also have mixed feelings about the first ending I got, which didn’t lead on smoothly from my final actions. Nonetheless, it’s an experience that will stay with me, and one that I know I’ll be going back to.

Silicon Dreams has a good main concept and careful, expressive writing. Each scenario offers a dilemma to deal with. The situations are very emotional and the decisions are always challenging. Even after playing through a situation, I found something new to think about or to explore when the game made me return to it.

Silicon Dreams is a tremendous detective game. The way you grill these androids for information is highly engaging. I was surprised many times by the responses I got from my interrogations and the narrative continued to get more and more compelling as I went on.

Silicon Dreams is an impressive cyberpunk game that questions ethics surrounding the use of intelligent human-like and human-made beings. The choices you make in Silicon Dreams do really matter. Giving us the role to decide the fate of every being we come across has left a powerful impression.

If you’re a fan of Philip K. Dick’s seminal work, Silicon Dreams is absolutely worth your time. It’s not the most interactive game but it expertly explores some thought provoking themes that are synonymous with Blade Runner via an engrossing game play loop and well crafted dialogue. It’s only 4 hours long but you’ll want to play this game twice.

Nel complesso la recensione di Silicon Dreams ci parla di un gioco che merita la sufficienza piena. Come avveniva nei colloqui a scuola, il titolo targato Clockwork Bird avrebbe però potuto fare qualcosa in più. A mancare è infatti un guizzo decisivo verso una valutazione più alta, qualcosa che gli permetta di essere ricordato dopo averlo giocato anche a distanza di tempo invece di finire nel dimenticatoio.
