Bajka

《Bajka》 is truly taxing on the eyes, and playing it makes me dizzy. This is mainly due to the light pollution effects. The developer’s first game, Rememoried, I thought was excellent, but this Bajka feels a bit overdone. Adjusting the graphics quality high or low makes no difference—after all, the entire texture material is essentially light pollution. It’s just a matter of severe light pollution versus even more severe light pollution. I originally thought I had relatively high resistance to light pollution. After all, although many people were put off by the light pollution effects in Rememoried, I found it very beautiful. I didn’t feel any discomfort from the light pollution or 3D motion sickness at all. I played it more than once, with a total playtime of over nine hours. However, with Bajka, after just a little over an hour of play, I actually felt dizzy—I was quite surprised myself. That said, the music is fantastic. The gameplay itself is simple: walk around collecting gems and admiring the unique scenery. If you just stand still and look into the distance, it’s still quite beautiful. But once you start moving or get up close, it becomes nauseating. When facing walls or caves, because the textures are all integrated light pollution with no clear edge lines, I honestly couldn’t even tell if there was a wall right in front of me. On the other hand, the short segment near the end of the game where you control the crow felt like the light pollution effects were controlled just right. That section has very open scenery, without overly intense rotating starry skies around you. The environmental reference points are also very clear. Plus, flying controls much better than the somewhat awkward jumping. All of this made the movement experience in that part extremely comfortable. If this game had an option to completely disable the light pollution effects and switch to a fully minimalist black-and-white line art style, I think it would offer another kind of aesthetic and would be much more accessible. Unfortunately, there’s no such option to turn off the effects. However, the game’s optimization is excellent—no worries there, and that deserves praise. It runs very smoothly even on Ultra settings. I still support the developer’s games. Although the light pollution is a bit painful, the overall vibe is still right in my wheelhouse. That said, for Bajka, I really, really recommend that anyone still hesitating should carefully consider their own tolerance for light pollution before purchasing. --- 《Bajka》這款遊戲真的很費眼力，而且跑起來讓人頭暈。主要還是因為光污染的關係。 作者的第一款遊戲《Rememoried》我覺得很棒，但這款《Bajka》好像有點過頭了。畫質調高調低都一樣，應該說畢竟整個紋理材質就是光害，只有嚴重光害和更嚴重光害的差別而已。 我原本覺得自己應該是對光污染算是比較有抵抗力的類型了。畢竟《Rememoried》雖然不少人因為光汙染特效就被勸退，但《Rememoried》對我來說很美，我甚至沒感覺到有光污染的不適或者3D暈，玩了不只一次，總時數滿九小時。 不過就這款《Bajka》，僅僅跑一個多小時後，居然會暈，我自己也很意外。 但音樂很棒。玩法本身簡單，到處走路蒐集寶石，看看特殊的風景。如果只站在原地遠看的話，還是蠻漂亮的。 但開始移動後或者近看就是暈。面對牆壁或洞窟，因為紋理都是一體的光害的關係，沒有看到邊緣線條的情況下，老實說連自己面前是牆壁都不知道。 反而是遊戲快要結束前的階段，操作烏鴉的那一小段，那部份我覺得光汙染特效程度是控制得剛剛好的。 那一段場景十分開闊，周圍也沒有太過頭的旋轉環繞星空，場景參照物也十分顯眼，另外就是飛行的操作還是比有點微妙的跳躍來得好很多，這些都讓那一段的移動體驗非常舒服。 如果這款遊戲能有完全關閉光汙染特效，走完全簡約的黑白線條風格的話，我想也會是另一種遊戲風格，而且應該會讓人比較好接受。可惜，沒有這樣的關閉特效功能。 不過遊戲優化非常好，這倒是不用擔心，值得誇獎。開Ultra特效跑起來也是很順。 作者的遊戲我還是支持。雖然光害有點痛苦，但電波還是在我的好球帶上。 只是《Bajka》這款，我真的、真的，建議還在猶豫的路人，考量自身對光污染的耐受度之後再入手。
