Sadly, town and caravaniserai options and interactions are painfully limited. And the presentation of these interaction screens is also very samey and very barren. And this pretty much kills any joy you could get from the game. Just too basic all round.

It's like a modern Oregon Trail with a different setting. I loved playing it. It has a pretty giant map, which takes place along the old historic silk road. It's a trading and resource management game. There are a bunch of different options for the rules, so if you really love games like this, then you can replay over and over and over again. I never figured out how to fight without running out of resources, but for me it was more fun just to play it as a trading game. The graphics are minimal, which I think adds to the charm.

Silk is a noble idea, presented nicely, and once you get the hang of it, the sheer scale of the game, as well as its exotic themes, make it a wonderful blend of history and adventure. As with many ambitious indie games, however, its ambitions clearly outweighed the capabilities of the team. While this may well be one of the largest environments ever created, and it's a rare example of a game that does that for a reason other than just providing content to players for the sake of content, a lack of refinement and context to the exploration leaves Silk feeling like a far lesser experience than its ambition deserves.
