Silver Pines Reviews
The greatest compliment that I can give to Silver Pines, is that if David Lynch envisaged a Twin Peaks game, I expect it’d look something like Wych Elm’s sensational Metroidvania. The collision of a Twin Peaks-like town, 2D survival horror gameplay and Castlevania exploration was an ambitious project, but I’m delighted to say it has comfortably delivered. The town of Silver Pines is a wonderfully sinister place to explore, it’s story deep and intriguing, and presentation a horrific delight. Silver Pines is the best horror game you can play for Halloween 2026.
Silver Pines is a decent Metroidvania game that plays like a solid survival horror title. However, its poor combat can detract from the overall experience, although fans of the genre should still have this on their radar.
Silver Pines is an excellent survival horror game. Although it falters in some aspects of its narrative development, the game masterfully leverages its greatest strength: adding Metroidvania-style exploration to a combination of ideas that were already very good on their own.
