Silver - Dreamcast-Spiel

I picked this up for a friend who loved the old PC version, and the Dreamcast port keeps the orb-collecting and frantic combat just as addictive. The voice acting for the main villain is hilariously over-the-top, which makes every cutscene a blast.

I was worried the orb-hunting would feel repetitive, but the way each one unlocks a new area or ability kept me hooked for hours. The story about saving his wife actually made me care about David’s quest, which is rare for a game this old.

The combat system is surprisingly deep for its time, with different weapons having distinct feels. I've spent hours just exploring the environments and hunting down those eight magic orbs, and the story keeps me hooked.
