Causal Loop

Absolutely stunning graphics and overall design! Lots of fun to play while figuring stuff out. Mostly impressed by the Echo Mechanic and how it works. 10/10 would recommend!

[h1]在时间遗迹中，与自己的回声并肩前行[/h1] 《Causal Loop》最打动我的地方，并不是它把“时间循环”当成一个亮眼的概念单纯的摆在玩家面前，而是让时间真正成为可以被交互和游玩的途径与媒介。游戏从一次外星考古任务开始，贝尔在托珥萨特星的废墟中触发古老装置，现实随之碎裂，珍也消失在未知空间。这个开场不算宏大，却很快建立起悬念，你不是在探索一座死去的遗迹，而是在一片仍有回声的时间残骸里寻找出口。 游戏的核心玩法围绕“录制与回放”展开，玩家需要记录自己的行动，再让过去的自己成为机关链条中的一环。这个设计最有趣的地方，是它会慢慢改变你观察空间的方式。普通的门、桥、按钮和机关，在这里不再只是静态物件，而像一组等待编排的乐句。你必须提前想象几秒之后的自己会在哪里，回声又该在什么时候完成动作，然后把步骤串成一段连续的因果。成功解开谜题时，那种快感不是蛮力突破，而更像一次终于合拍的演奏。它不急着用复杂度来创造困难，而是把机制设计得很清楚，让玩家在理解中进入更高层次的思考。 相比许多偏“硬核”的科幻解谜作品《Causal Loop》并没有把叙事当成机关之间的黏着剂。贝尔、珍以及同行角色之间的互动，让这个宏大的异星空间多了些“轻松感”。对白里有轻松的玩笑，也有面对未知时的紧张与不安，虽然偶尔会显得话多，但这种带着日常感的表达，反而让孤独的遗迹不至于只剩冰冷的金属和石壁。故事的展开是慢热的，它把托珥文明的命运、现实崩塌的原因和角色自身的处境一点点交织起来，不靠硬塞设定制造悬疑，而是让玩家在走路、观察和试错中靠近真相。 视觉层面是这款游戏很重要的气质来源，托珥萨特星并不是单纯堆砌奇观，它的建筑尺度、光线层次和机械纹理共同构成了一种介于神庙与实验设施之间的美感。你会感觉自己踩在一段沉睡很久的历史上，而那些仍在运转的古代系统，又提醒你这里并没有真正死去。场景的可读性处理得不错，关键机关通常能从环境中被辨认出来。音乐和音效则像一层低温的雾，把废墟的空旷、谜题的节奏以及剧情里的神秘感托了起来。 技术完成度同样给人留下好印象，作为一款独立作品，它的运行稳定性和画面选项都显得很用心，也让玩家能舒服地进入这个世界。当然，它并非没有瑕疵，少数限时机关和跳跃段落会带来一点重复劳动感，也可能打断原本流畅的思考，但这些问题没有压过它整体的优秀。 总体来讲《Causal Loop》像是一封写给时间、废墟和逻辑谜题的情书。它有经典科幻解谜的影子，却没有被影子吞没；它用回声机制创造出属于自己的节奏，也用外星考古的包装赋予谜题一种叙事上的重量。它不是那种靠体量取胜的游戏，而是越玩越能感到结构、气氛和机制彼此咬合。对于喜欢在空间里思考、在沉默文明中寻找答案的玩家来说，这趟旅程值得慢慢走完。 [quote]关注鉴赏组：[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45134494]浮生评测[/url] ←"浮生若梦，一鉴倾心，邀您共赏人间烟火" 加入Steam组：[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/LLFLLFF]浮生评测[/url]←“一起追寻'浮生若梦'般的游戏体验” 开始“浮生若梦”鉴赏组的奇幻之旅！[/quote]

一款不太casual（休闲）的叙事解谜游戏。以外星考古学家贝尔的第一人称视角，意外触发了时碑装置，陷入时间循环，找寻消失的同事。荒凉的星球废墟，神秘的时空装置，独特的回声机制，共同构成了一个又一个巧妙的谜团。通过解决章节的谜题，一个失落的文明逐渐浮现，剧情也随解谜而慢慢推进，直至最后揭开文明毁灭的真相。 游戏核心的玩法，就是回声机制，通过录制与回放一段合适的操作，解决单人不能完成的任务，分身与本体一起共同解谜。起初以为会是像2D独游径迹回响一样的随时录制路径，结果不然，本作要在特定的光球内才能发起录制操作，有固定的起点，分析途径路线、装置位置，再录制合适的路径，解决开门、过桥等系列难题。 随着章节的推进，谜题的难度也逐步加大。原本最初的录制路径仅仅是一条从起点到终点的路线，慢慢地加入限时的解锁钥匙，传送还有回放期间需要本体打开屏蔽分身通过的门开关等...后续与最多有3个自己的回声一起参与解谜。 谜题难度的增加，不是谜题变得有多难，而是增加了中间的操作步骤，反而是对操作的要求变高了。就像限时的钥匙，在路径中间给加了个充能位置，目的让解锁点能放置在更远的位置上。说实话，个人感觉这种增加耗费时间的设计反而是减分项，并没有让谜题变得更有意思。 解谜路上，能直观发现扫描的遗物很少，部分藏得挺难发现的。发现并扫描后也没有什么收集奖励之类，以致于不是明显能看到的基本不会特意去找。探索这部分好像是给忽略掉了一样。 总的来说，还是不错的一款3D解谜游戏。剧情与解谜并行，结局感觉还是可以的，点了游戏名的题，“循环已破，但因果永存”。 [quote]漫话漫谈，期待关注:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44551694/]写生漫话家[/url] ←节约宝贵时间，阅读省流测评~  欢迎加入漫话家的大家庭:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/14030826]写生漫话家[/url]←共同探讨游戏中的精彩片段，向玩家展现第九艺术的魅力~

Super Rätselspiel mit toller Grafik, super Sound und einer unglaublich guten deutschen Synchronisation. Sowas hat man im Indiebereich echt selten. Ich bin jetzt zu 2/3 durch und bin aufs Ende der Story gespannt. Die Rätsel ziehen ab dem ersten Drittel deutlich an, sind aber keineswegs unfair. Gutes Gesamtpaket zum fairen Preis.

No esperaba que me atrapara tanto. Al principio parece el típico juego de puzles accesible, pero cuando empiezas a jugar con las “copias” de ti mismo todo se vuelve mucho más interesante. Hay momentos donde literalmente tienes que pensar en varias acciones a la vez y coordinarte contigo mismo, y eso se siente muy original. Visualmente me sorprendió bastante. Los escenarios tienen ese aire sci-fi misterioso que te invita a explorar, y encima corre increíblemente bien incluso en configuraciones altas, cosa rara hoy en día. La música y las voces también ayudan mucho a meterte en la historia, que va creciendo poco a poco sin hacerse pesada. Eso sí, no todo es perfecto. Algunas secciones pueden sentirse demasiado fáciles o más de buscar botones que de resolver puzles complejos. Y el protagonista puede caer un poco en el típico humor sarcástico que no siempre funciona. Aun así, terminé disfrutándolo más de lo que esperaba. Es de esos juegos que empiezas “por probar” y acabas queriendo completar al 100%.

The aesthetics are simply astounding, but somehow either my gpu is asking for too much power or the cpu is above safe temperature so I need to lower the graphics settings a bit to not trigger kernel power 41. Great game overall.

Causal Loop ist echt ein spannendes Spiel. Es fordert logisches Denken und man muss Zusammenhänge gut erkennen. Gerade die späteren Level sind anspruchsvoll, aber genau das macht den Reiz aus.

Pros: - Good pacing, never felt like a section was dragging on and new mechanics were introduced gradually - Varied puzzles - Great environment/art design - Story is engaging - The characters grew on me quite a bit, and the voice actor performances were great. Bale is a bit annoying at the start, but I think it serves a narrative purpose as he grows and gets less annoying throughout the story - Runs well, had one bug (clipped into a slope and got stuck) but wasn't able to replicate it and had no other issues Cons: - Some of the timing based puzzles are very strict, would be nice to have an option to extend time limits for things like buttons a bit - The symbols can be difficult to differentiate, which gets especially difficult in later levels when things are more spread out, it can be hard to find what a button even activated. Could maybe benefit from waypoints to things that activated out of view, and/or having numbers or something next to the symbols to tell them apart more easily - The jump is frustratingly short My complaints only became a problem in the final quarter of the game and were pretty minor, but still enough to create friction. I'm recommending it as I think the experience as a whole is good, but would like to see these things addressed. Overall great game, would love to see more from this team.

A game based entirely on annoying mechanics, and somehow works. Clearly inspired by Talos Principle's ever-hated recorder puzzles, this game's primary mechanic is recording yourself so that there is more than one of you. Yet, for the majority of the chapters, this is completely unused for anything but opening the exit once the puzzle is already solved. Instead, the majority of the puzzles are a game of hot-potato with explosives which, for some reason, the recording cannot interact with in any capacity. Basically, they gutted the recording mechanic so that it cannot do anything other than press buttons, and as a result, avoid all the annoying overcomplicated aspects of the puzzles in Talos Principle. Level design here is quite.... confusing. Much of the navigation is through teleporters and the connections between puzzle elements are signage-based. This means much of the difficulty comes from figuring out what two (or more) items are linked together. Usually I would spend about ten minutes just finding the first step. Of course, once you put the pieces together, the puzzle feels rewarding to solve, and this actually gets better in the final chapters. Pros: Everything looks amazing; better than expected. Secrets everywhere! The HUD is quite helpful and the controls are simple. Great endgame. Fully-skippable dialog. Cons: Frustrating level design. The primary mechanic is implemented too late. The scannables are rarely the actual objects. No option to respawn, which can sometimes cause softlocks. Pointless F-bombs are sometimes thrown in. I'm giving it a 8/10, which is great for a game made by such a small team.
