An awesome game, I enjoyed my playthrough. Some of the highlights: - Purely visual storytelling - Interesting use of perspective changes - Great soundtrack - Multiple endings I recommend it to everybody who wants to see a unique take on a serious aspect of the human condition.
surprisingly affecting with some Great Moments in Level Design and Music and Narrative Synergy.
[h1]Experienced on Windows Mixed Reality, Samsung Odyssey+[/h1] VR Review Only. You can view my full review here: https://youtu.be/0pFWewYJlpA Although VR support was taken off the store page by the developer, I can confirm that as of today (January 2, 2020) that VR still works fine. However, I would warn anyone to not buy this for the VR experience in the future as who knows when and if the VR will stop functioning properly without official support. There is full locomotion with smooth turning or teleportation. Your motion controllers are used as a gamepad (you might as well use your gamepad). This is a walking simulator for VR. It took me approximately 2 hours to finish the game. The gameplay involved a lot of walking from point A to point B and also gazing at certain objects, or getting close enough to them, to progress the story. There is no dialogue. The whole story is told through the visuals & mood of the game. However, several game assets are repeated often, including the use of a bicycle. You'll be seeing your apartment, the desert, the hospital, and the concert hall repeatedly throughout the game. You'll walk around in circles during several parts of the game, seeing slight differences on your way around, with repeated assets in different places. To add insult to injury, the game's graphics look bad, like Xbox 360 era bad, and there are several frame rate issues. While there are certain poignant moments in this game, dealing with serious subjects such as mental illness, depression, drug & alcohol abuse, relationship problems, & not being able to play the cello after a serious accident, the story is purposely vague. Not only that, certain messages and themes in that story are repeated several times over. For sure, there are some clever tricks the devs used to make you feel the seriousness of the subject matter, however, those tricks are oft-repeated. It's amazing how many times stuff is repeated in this game given that it's such a short experience. If repetition were the only problem, this wouldn't be such a bad game, however, the bugs in this game turn it into every bit of a pain for you as it is for the protagonists in the story. There were several times where I had to teleport through doors to progress in this game. I also had several pathing issues using the bike where it took several attempts and lots of patience to get through that section of the game. Finally, as a bit of crescendo to it all, the game ends abruptly showing a black screen on your HMD. A quick look at your desktop screen shows the credits rolling. [b]Rate 3.5/10. I really enjoy good walking simulators. This is an awful one. [/b]
[h1][b]🎮 Reseña de Anamorphine[/b][/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] Anamorphine es ese tipo de aventura indie en primera persona que te agarra de la mano… para metértela en una licuadora emocional. Es un “simulador de caminar” surrealista y psicológico donde la propuesta no es “ganar”, sino deambular entre recuerdos rotos, simbolismos y escenarios que se derriten como tu estabilidad mental después de la tercera escena rara. La primera impresión es clara: esto quiere ser arte. Mucha atmósfera, música instrumental empujando la melancolía y un tono adulto que no busca ser “edgy”, sino incómodo. Si vienes esperando mecánicas complejas, puzzles robustos o acción, mejor siéntate: aquí el gameplay es básicamente “avanza y procesa”. Lo que sí: es corto, narrativo, experimental, con finales múltiples y una trama que intenta dejarte pensando. A veces lo logra. A veces solo te deja pensando “¿ya era todo?”… pero con lágrimas en los ojos, así que supongo que cuenta. [h2]Lo Surreal y lo Terrenal[/h2] Lo Bueno: ✅ 🎭 Atmosfera psicológica potente: te envuelve sin pedir permiso. ✅ 🎼 Música instrumental emocional: hace el 60% del trabajo… y lo hace bien. ✅ 🧠 Narrativa experimental con misterio y finales múltiples: hay intención y ambición. ✅ 🎮 Compatibilidad total con mando: caminar hacia el trauma desde el sillón, premium. ✅ 🏆 10 logros: pocos, pero al menos existen para justificar tu “progreso”. Lo No Tan Bueno: ❌ 🚶 “Simulador de caminar” en esteroides: si buscas jugabilidad, aquí viene en DLC imaginario. ❌ ⏳ Es corto: cuando te adaptas al mood, ya estás viendo créditos. ❌ 🧩 Exploración más contemplativa que interactiva: a ratos se siente como museo con depresión. ❌ 👥 Comunidad fantasma: 0 jugadores actuales… básicamente estás a solas con tus pensamientos (qué apropiado). ❌ 📊 Recomendaciones totales: N/A, o sea, ni el algoritmo se atreve a opinar.

Es más “experiencia” que “juego”, y eso ya divide a la gente: algunos lo van a llamar arte; otros, una caminata cara al subconsciente (sin decirlo en voz alta). La parte controversial: me gusta, pero no lo voy a perdonar por esconder la falta de jugabilidad detrás de simbolismos. Si buscas interacción, reto o sistemas, aquí la exigencia se queda con hambre. Si buscas una historia atmosférica, experimental y con finales múltiples, te va a dar exactamente eso… y se va antes de que le pidas un poco más. Y el detalle más poético de todos: 0 jugadores actuales. Es literalmente un viaje de soledad. Con recomendaciones en N/A, esto se siente como ese disco raro que nadie reseña, pero que a ti te cambia la semana… o te hace desinstalarlo diciendo “¿qué acabo de ver?”. [h3]Recomendación de Compra (En descuento y con expectativas correctas)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 6.5/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 0 Descuento máximo registrado: -75% Veredicto: [i]Recomendado solo si te gustan las experiencias narrativas surrealistas y no te molesta “jugar” caminando.[/i] Si lo tuyo son aventuras indie atmosféricas, psicológicas y emocionales, Anamorphine vale la pena como experiencia corta e intensa. Si necesitas gameplay con dientes, mejor busca otra cosa: aquí el monstruo no te persigue… te persigue tu propia interpretación.

Quel ennui...
Il racconto legato all’elaborazione del lutto, che attraversa sfumature delicate come la depressione e il senso della perdita è stato ormai sdoganato anche nei videogiochi. Sono oramai lontani i tempi in cui il medium in questione era riservato esclusivamente al ruolo di mero intrattenitore, relegato ad una fascia d’utenza che cercava soltanto un facile divertimento. Chi oggi afferma il contrario è semplicemente un ignorante, senza mezzi termini. Il genere dei walking simulator ha abbracciato fortemente l’approccio autoriale e/o sociale al videogioco, regalandoci perle di incredibile bellezza narrativa e sensoriale come Firewatch e What Remains of Edith Finch; Anamorphine vuole affiancarsi ai maggiori esponenti del genere con un racconto delicato, incentrato su una coppia vittima di un evento spiacevole ma banale, che tuttavia porterà ad un epilogo disastroso. L’esordio di Artifact 5 prova con tutte le sue forze a diventare un classico del genere, presentando una storia importante, una messa in scena di buon livello e una forma interessante. Sfortunatamente per loro, non tutto è andato come previsto e quello che ci troviamo di fronte oggi è un titolo che funziona soltanto a metà. Iniziamo subito col dire che Anamorphine non nasce per realtà virtuale; il supporto alla VR è stato inserito post lancio e non supporta né roomscale né controller di movimento (se non usati come semplice joypad). Se prendiamo in analisi il titolo flat, Anamorphine risulta come un buon walking simulator, grazie a momenti incredibilmente suggestivi, una storia non particolarmente originale ma efficace e una buona direzione artistica. Giocato a schermo, il titolo di Artifact 5 può diventare facilmente uno dei migliori walking simulator che giocherete quest’anno, poiché nonostante non tocchi assolutamente le vette del genere mantiene dalla sua una discreta interpretazione del tema e una manciata di guizzi interessanti.

Vive support is totally nonexistent. I doubt the game runs in any VR setup at all. It either black screens permanently or sticks your camera to the ceiling and does not allow you to move nor interact with anything. The developers said that it was a known issue that would be patched within a few days of release. The known issue is that they did not have time to implement VR but wanted customer money from promising VR support anyway. It's been 15+ days, and they've disappeared without a word.
Great game that is not afraid to tackle really tough subjects that really make you think and feel, and does it elegantly.
走路模拟器√目前只玩了个开头,和艾迪芬奇的记忆有些类似,只是基本没有文字叙述 游戏很棒!转场简直梦幻超神! 但!是! 还是有不少bug,比如说卡在游戏主界面,视角逐渐变低然后卡在地里,会莫名卡在莫名其妙的地方。。。 新游戏有bug还是很正常的!希望尽快修复! 游戏剧情体验等玩完之后再来∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
