Good story
[h1] Walt Disney encontra O Show de Truman que encontra Big Brother que encontra Black Mirror.[/h1] [b]|***| Análise completa de quem jogou até o fim |***|[/b] Jogado com [b]Flydigi Vader 3 Pro[/b] + Enredo genial abarrotado de referências finas + Direção de arte que dá um banho de identidade visual + Gameplay diversificada e muito competente nas suas propostas - Dificuldade baixa - Cenas em primeira pessoa são menos empolgantes - O gosto de "quero mais" no final chega a dar um aperto no peito ===|||||||=== [b]ANÁLISE[/b] Se tem uma coisa que me ganha de primeira em videogame (e outras mídias) é uma premissa original que sabe exatamente de onde veio e para onde quer ir. Pegue O Show de Truman, Big Brother, Walt Disney, Black Mirror, bata tudo no liquidificador com uma boa dose de distopia e voilà: American Arcadia! Não tem como não se emocionar com a criatividade do estúdio espanhol em conseguir fundir o conceito do EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) de Walt Disney com a pegada de 1984 de George Orwell. Para quem gosta de caçar referências, o prato é cheio: dá para encontrar acenos (as vezes explícitos) à Matrix, Os Miseráveis (jura que chamaram o chefe da polícia opressora de Javert?), O Fugitivo, Intriga Internacional etc. Se o roteiro não te prender busque ajuda médica. Além do plot, o grande trunfo de American Arcadia está na sua jogabilidade, que sabe diversificar o ritmo com maestria dependendo de quem você está controlando no momento. Quando estamos na pele do carismático e bigodudo Trevor, o jogo é um plataforma 2.5D competente – deu até pra lembrar de INSIDE em algumas fases mais soturnas. Já quando a perspectiva muda para a Angela, a bagaça se transforma em um FPS sem S, também conhecido como aventura em primeira pessoa. Só que o grande barato de AA, a mecânica que realmente brilha, é o sistema cooperativo assimétrico implícito: você controla o Trevor na plataforma enquanto usa os sistemas de câmera de TV e hacks com a Angela para abrir o caminho para ele. Essa mecânica funciona incrivelmente bem e dá uma dinâmica única para a fuga. Em alguns poucos momentos o jogo vai exigir uma coordenação motora mais apurada, mas nada que alguém que tenha terminado a pré-escola não consiga executar. Mas segura a onda, gafanhoto. Se você está esperando algo que vá testar os seus reflexos ou te fazer travar em puzzles por horas, esquece. A dificuldade aqui é consideravelmente baixa. Em nenhum momento o jogo tenta te punir ou exigir uma precisão cirúrgica. Junte a isso o fato de que as seções em primeira pessoa com a Angela, embora fundamentais para o enredo e para a quebra de ritmo, são nitidamente menos empolgantes do que a correria desenfreada e os saltos e escaladas do Sr. Mustache. Na parte técnica, American Arcadia não é o jogo que vai sangrar sua GPU ou derreter sua RAM, mas é inegavelmente lindo. Sua direção de arte soberba, retrata uma cidade distópica dos anos 70 com uma paleta de cores e uma identidade visual de cair o queixo. É colírio para os olhos de quem aprecia bom gosto estético. Ainda nos elogios, a trilha sonora é muito boa e dita o tom da fuga perfeitamente. Já o trabalho de dublagem dos personagens é de primeira linha, entregando a carga dramática, ironia e canastrice que o roteiro pede sem soar piegas. No fim das contas, a jornada de fuga desse reality show corporativo vale cada centavo e cada minuto investido. Não revoluciona a indústria de games, mas entrega uma das narrativas mais redondas, estilosas e divertidas dos últimos tempos – sem contar os plot twists no fim. A conclusão não poderia ser outra: American Arcadia é o melhor jogo de fuga de reality show retrofuturista de todos os tempos da última semana. >_[b][url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/mremerson/screenshots/?appid=1249040]Screenshots capturadas durante a jogatina[/url][/b] > _ [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32675902]Para ver minhas análises, siga o curador Megatrônico![/url][/b] > _ [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/37848041]Também contribuo para o grupo de curadores do Gamerista![/url][/b]
This game has a brilliant story that is extremely intriguing and captivating. The gameplay is versatile, the pov changes are refreshing and the puzzles are fun to solve. Easily one of my all time favourite games. I can recommend it to everyone. Here is a review from someone i recommended it to from my steam-family (meaning he can't post his own review): honestly, this game is one of those games that i enjoyed so much, if i could erase my memory about a few games so that i can enjoy them again for the first time, this would be one of the games id call up first, such an intriguingly written story, easy but honestly captivating gameplay and fun humor, easily one of my favorite games.
A short, beautiful, compelling (and occasionally frustrating) 2.5D platformer/first-person puzzle game with a strong narrative. I picked it up as a sort of palate cleanser between the 40+ hour games I had been playing, and I was very pleasantly by surprised. The voice acting is great, the characters are strong, and the narrative is basically The Truman Show cranked up to 11. There were a couple parts of particularly annoying bits of platforming, but the puzzles were diverse and tricky while never being outright obtuse. I felt that the game stuck the landing, even if it wasn't in a way that I had expected. The game also runs great on the Steam Deck, with simple and easy-to-grasp controls. I would strongly recommend picking this one up if you're in the mood for something with a strong story that dares to do something a little differently.
The helicopter sequence destroyed the game for me. I got to the part of the game where you're fleeing the bad guys—no spoilers there, since you learn that in the first few minutes. The problem is that it takes several hours to actually get there. Once you do, the game starts throwing challenge after challenge at you. By the helicopter sequence (again, nothing that isn't already shown at the start of the game), I kept running into one problem after another. Usually it started with me not understanding what the game wanted me to do. Then I'd die, only to get stuck in some kind of endless death loop caused by a bug. After restarting from a checkpoint, I'd end up past that bug and run straight into another one. I'll never know how this game ends because after 50-plus deaths—and with me absolutely refusing to look up walkthroughs or use a hint system, assuming one even exists—I'm done. Goodbye, game. Speaking of hints, there was one section where I missed something obvious and the game handed me the answer. I grant it did wait a while before giving me the hint, but regardless there should be an option to turn that off. I nearly quit and uninstalled the game right then. I want the chance to figure things out myself, not have the game solve puzzles for me. That said, it's not all bad. The story is engaging, the visuals are beautiful, and the controls are generally straightforward. I do wish it leaned a little less into the walking-simulator style of gameplay, but I was having a pretty good time right up until the final stretch. Unfortunately, the combination of bugs, frustrating trial-and-error gameplay, and intrusive hints completely killed the experience for me. It's now firmly on my "do not play again" list.
Me gustó su historia y están buenos los puzzles.
muito bom trilha sonora impecavel , plot e tudo mais.
American Arcadia is very good looking game with an amazing narative, I enjoyed every part of the engrossing story and the world that was created here. The voice acting was pretty good, I enjoyed the characters a lot and the art style was very nice. The puzzles were pretty good too, although not super challenging, I still had a good time with them. I will say that I first played this on my PC when it was first release and had a bit of trouble with the controls. However, I was going through it again for the acheivments recently and played it on the Steam Deck and had a much better experience, so I do recommend playing it on that if you have it.
Très sympa, la DA est amusante et donne un côté cartoon rétro-futuriste intéressant ! Je pense que la gameplay pourrait être un peu plus profond et un peu moins simple, avec peut-être une plus grande liberté de choix.
Great game! It’s as if The Truman Show and American Arcadia were derived from the same book, with the movie diving deeper into the protagonist's complexity and the game diving deeper into the plot. Highly recommend!
