Chicken Police: Into the HIVE!

第一部的时候你们剧情稀烂就已经有很多玩家反馈了，第二部在搞什么？做一半没钱了吗？马蒂都活下来了，还给写死了？？？在悲伤什么东西？在温馨什么东西？明明可以直接略过直接案件结束一个带孩子，一个去旅游，它冲突吗？？？？为什么要写葬礼？遭枪击当场死也就算了，都进医院了，都能起身说话了，你还又给写死了？你闲得是吧？你想完结这个故事，又没人逼着你一定要出续作，制作组到底在做什么？？？？避雷你们整个团队了，偌大的团队一个带人脑子的都没有，自己不会写反转经常剧情，就强行杀了主要角色，不尊重角色，不尊重玩家，辜负所有等着出续作的粉丝们。 剧情比第一部调子高，以为能整个大的，结果拉这么大！这么好的世界观背景，被你们这么糟蹋，不喜欢就不做，不愿意就砍掉，发出来是在恶心谁啊，能不能给我退个款啊？？？ 太过分了，太失望了，你们现在最大的问题不是画面好不好看，UI设计得好不好，配音好不好听，文笔出不出彩，你们现在最大的问题是不会做人，一群没有感情的人写不出有感情的内容，你们共情不了角色，也不愿意体谅玩家，你们不爱你们的作品，那我又能说些什么呢？制作团队不尊重自己的作品，剧情如此仓促，粗糙，恶劣，太让人失望了，我不会再相信你们购买你们的产品。 柯南道尔当年怎么复活福尔摩斯的，你就怎么把马蒂给我复活！剧情最后面那一段删了一点都不冲突，不理解不接受不原谅，他可以以任何方式去死，我甚至接受了他中枪当场去死，但我接受不了制作团队给人希望又傲慢浇灭的这个态度，有尊重过角色吗？有尊重过玩家吗？玩家是什么很贱的人吗？？？

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 631: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (9/10) I was initially worried about buying [i]Chicken Police: Into the HIVE![/i] after reading the most helpful reviews. The top—negative!—reviews called the game rushed, not as good as the first game, and had a poor ending. However, I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge anyway because I honestly think the opposite. I think [i]Chicken Police: Into the HIVE![/i] is bigger, better, and more polished than the previous game. It's practically flawless, honestly. I completely fell in love with the witty writing, BEAUTIFUL art style, and meaningful plot. My only criticism is, yes, a tiny part of the ending that came out of the blue, is a tad bit rushed, and [i]very[/i] controversial. Still, I had a blast for pretty much 98% of the game, and I don't think the 2% I didn't like mars the game at all. [b][h2]Pros:[/h2][/b] ✅ [b]Atmosphere.[/b] Everything about the game is atmospheric. I mean, just look at the art style first. I have no idea what it's professionally called, but just feast your eyes on the game's art. The game uses realistic 3D character models and environments, yet everything is presented with a stylized, cinematic quality that feels like a graphic novel brought to life. There's a constant soft soundtrack of jazz music, and somehow, there's even a dynamic light system: lighting effects, neon signs, moving shadows, rain-slick reflections, and changes in illumination. Ugh. The game is just so [i]cool.[/i] ✅ [b]Fantastic writing.[/b] I adore the writing in [i]Chicken Police[/i]. The dialogue is consistently sharp, witty, and funny, balancing dry humor, clever banter, and noir-style cynicism without ever feeling forced. Sonny and Marty have excellent chemistry, and their conversations are often just as entertaining as the investigation itself. Even minor characters are memorable, each with their own distinct voice, design, and personality. ✅ [b]The plot is equally impressive.[/b] What begins as a collection of seemingly unrelated leads gradually unfolds into a larger mystery, weaving multiple storylines together until everything converges into a satisfying conclusion. The game constantly rewards paying attention, and it's fascinating to watch how small details, offhand comments, and side investigations eventually connect to the bigger picture. There’s more focus on worldbuilding this time around, especially, as the title suggests, on [i]insects.[/i] Cockroaches, spiders, and slugs make an appearance. Which, gross, but also super cool. Most importantly, the game examines inequality and oppression pretty clearly yet never feels preachy. Maybe the guise of animals gives the audience a bit of distance from current events, but the main messages are simple yet clear: there is no difference between insects and non-insects. Even though the world is unjust, we should still attempt to be good and do good. Ask for help from friends when needed. And ya know what? I totally fw it. ✅ [b]Good QoL.[/b] There's a couple things I appreciated: a "skip all dialogue" button, a history log of all dialogue in a started conversation, and an option to autoplay dialogue. There's also [i]no[/i] pixel-hunting, as there's a button to show all clickables, as well as an "!" icon showing new unlocked dialogue. Lastly, there's information on each character, along with places you visit, and a clear quest log with clues to follow. ✅ [b]Steam Deck performance[/b]. Max settings gave me 45 FPS that never stuttered or crashed once. I had no issues with controls either, using both the touchscreen and the gamepad. [b][h2]Cons:[/h2][/b] 🟥[b] The biggest con is no manual save system[/b]. This is one I'm confused about. [i]Chicken Police: Into the HIVE![/i] is a noir visual novel where you play as a detective. It's not like [i]Ace Attorney[/i] or any dating sim where your actions have consequences, so why the requirement for automatic saving? A couple times I thought the game saved my progress, only to have to play through a couple of minutes. 🟥[b] Some small but important rushed bits in the ending.[/b] I didn’t mind the ending at all, even the controversial decision to [spoiler]kill Marty.[/spoiler] It’s [i]shocking[/i], yes, but I mainly took issue with how abruptly the narrative handled it. We’re told [spoiler]Marty is shot, is in the hospital, undergoes a life-threatening procedure, but is alive! We even get to speak to him! However, there’s an incredibly rushed “goodbye” scene between Marty and Sonny and Marty and Laura. The next scene is a 30-second still of Marty’s funeral, which feels less like a narrative choice and more like purposefully taunting the audience. “Oh, haha, you thought he would live? He’s DEAD.” Plus, I think Sonny would have never gotten over Marty’s death. [/spoiler] I also wanted to know about [spoiler]Molly and Sonny’s daughter, along with Laura and the baby.[/spoiler] 🟥[b] Minigames.[/b] I wasn’t a fan of the minigames (e.g. the lock-picking, shooting, card game, and music playing). They weren’t bad, and they were well-made, but most minigames only showed up once. If anything, I felt it took away from the tight pacing and controlled narrative. 🟥[b] Must have played the previous game recently to understand the sequel.[/b] If you haven’t played the first [i]Chicken Police[/i], you’ll have no idea what’s going on. However, I finished the first [i]Chicken Police[/i] a couple years ago, and I did feel like I was missing some context and inside jokes. I wished there was a “recap,” like how Telltale used to do it.

[b]Not perfect, but I still recommend it.[/b] The shooting mechanic is a missed opportunity. It was introduced in the shooting range but never actually used in the main game. I was honestly expecting some kind of fight, maybe in the church or the factory, but it just never happened, which was pretty disappointing since the guns were pretty satisfying to shoot at. The ending also felt abrupt. It made me feel that the developers wanted to add more but ran out of time. The pacing in the early chapters also sucked. It dragged too long and even got confusing at times, specifically "The plate puzzle at the graveyard." The pace picks up in the middle chapter, though, and becomes more engaging. Performance is another issue. On my laptop iGPU, I was getting around 20 FPS at the lowest graphics during dialogues, which shouldn’t be that demanding for a 2D game. That said, the game clearly has a lot of passion behind it. It’s not perfect, but you can feel the effort and care put into it. And that's why I really like the series and will probably follow the creators' future games for it.

A good Detective/Noir/Indie ( whatever you want to call it ) game. I started to play Detective Games with animals, because I played "Blacksad: Under The Skin" before, but don`t Imagine I`M A PRO at such games... I do what I can. Part 1: "Chicken Police: Paint it Red!" was just an Introduction, but If I have to compare them: Part 2: "Chicken Police: Into The Hive!" was so much better! ( I enjoyed it way more than Part 1 ). I recommend you give it a try! NOTE: YOU MUST PLAY THE FIRST GAME: "Chicken Police: Paint it in Red" to understand the whole story in PART 2 !!! Have Fun. The Only Cons would be a LOT of talking, but thank god im used with it.

very sad i liked their first game but this was a let down... and the ending... [spoiler]killing marty off is criminal he was my fav[spoiler]

Достойное продолжение оригинальной игры с интересной историей, которая заканчивается весьма неожиданно. С самого начала поклонники первой части могут ловить дежавю, так как история начинается похожим образом, однако уже по мере продвижения приобретает другой темп повествования. Атмосфера также затягивает, все тот же мрачный и загадочный Кловиль, как и в первой части. Отдельный восторг вызвали живые диалоги и то, как они озвучены. Я лично того мнения, что актерам озвучки стоит выделить отдельную награду за их труды (особенно озвучка Сонни). Музыка все также достойная, как и в первой части, однако я не могу выделить какой то трек как особенный и запоминающийся, кроме темы главного меню Into the Hive – через него как раз таки чувствуется, что тебя встречает новая и захватывающая история. Потому в целом создается приятная атмосфера для игры, которая затянет на пару вечеров. Что интересно, так это добавление авторами дополнительными мини-играми для разнообразия геймплея, что выглядело интересно и живо, хоть они и простые. ДАЛЬШЕ СПОЙЛЕРЫ. [spoiler] За что откровенно можно критиковать эту игру, так это за решение избавиться от одного из главных героев – Марти. Зачем его нужно было убивать я до конца так и не понял, он оставил после себя беременную жену, которой придется самой заботься об их ребенке. И причем финал Марти очень контрастирует с тем, как заканчивается сюжетная ветка Сонни, который получает шанс на новое счастье в жизни, которое сможет его вывести из постоянного запоя. Почему же авторы сочли, что достойный семьянин и один из любимейших героев игры достоин лишь того, чтобы его по итогу убили я не знаю. Считаю, что Марти как никто заслуживал хороший финал. Также как новым было введение цветного режима вместо нуарного, который является опциональным. Это тоже может быть хорошо для новых игроков, которые хотят видеть больше красок. А второй момент, так это слив обоих главных злодеев. Мик представляется интересным и хладнокровным злодеем, чья судьба остается открытой после финала. Нам только представляют его как злодея, его цели и мотивы, которые его движут, как сразу после этого сливают. И ладно, если бы это нужно было до третьей части, так она вряд ли выйдет в свет, ведь, смотри выше, Марти уже убит, а в чем смысл Chicken Police, когда их состав не полон? Таким образом Мик просто дает деру и его судьба остается неизвестной. А вот Леди Кейла это просто смех как по мне. Ее представляют интересно, как манипуляторшу, которая отлично знает, что она делает и зачем, как она медленно захватывает власть через контроль короля. Что по итогу? Ее просто застреливают в конце, причем делает это вовсе второстепенный персонаж. К тому же в ее историю вплетают тот факт, что она как связана с Сонни напрямую, и это уже выглядит как чеховское ружье, которое по итогу так и не выстрелило. То есть не хватило глубины погружения в персонажа, когда он с самого начала выглядел интересным. [/spoiler] КОНЕЦ СПОЙЛЕРОВ Но если закрыть глаза на эти моменты, которые происходят чисто в финале, то игра Chicken Police Into the Hive является хорошим продолжением оригинала. Потому могу рекомендовать, если хочется погрузиться в нуарный мир детектива с яркими и запоминающимися персонажами, красивой атмосферой и хорошей историей.

这个游戏的底子有多好，最终效果就有多令人失望。我毫不怀疑这个游戏会成为某些国内手游厂（没错，就是你，■角）的素材库之一，但如果有机会，我依然希望制作组不要放弃荒野世界的ip，在自己能力范围内打磨一些好作品。

This game is great, everything that was good about the first one is also in here. The only bad part is that the last third of the game is somewhat rushed and unfinished. Could've been my favourite this year, but it's still fairly good as a fan of Paint it Red.

游戏的细节依旧非常好，和第一部一样，剧情角色塑造细腻精良画风全局配音，贯穿全篇的冷幽默还是非常喜欢。但是很可惜结尾全毁了，依旧烂尾，比第一部还烂，整个后半部仓促得不知道在写什么，观感上四五两章加起来还没有第一章长，结尾草率且完全没必要，[spoiler] 简直是为了死而死 [/spoiler]。以及包括音频缺失和未翻译文本之类的问题，简中版卡桑德拉 菲尔的种族错误（怎么把兔子翻译成薮猫的） [spoiler] 神经病制作组脑子里塞的什么玩意儿写出来的后半段，我有多喜欢这个游戏打完就有多生气。第四章整个垮掉，枪战甚至不舍得多给几个镜头交代一下，连马蒂怎么中枪的都不明不白，呈现出来的效果就像搭档被射杀之后桑尼就准备跑路了，暗中潜藏已久的反派出来开两枪就不知道去哪了。铺垫了那么久再多费点镜头解释一下又怎样，制作组是中了什么不能把故事写完的诅咒吗？有什么意义呢非得挨这骂？结尾非把马蒂写死，而且草率到这种地步让我感觉根本没把角色当回事，你甚至没有让他死在枪战里，对作品什么态度写得出这种结尾还敢上架售卖，既如此又为什么要创造这样一个世界观这样一个故事。真的有人在认真对待这个IP吗？ 最后跟凯拉对峙甚至没有经典盘问环节，那段反派独白勉强维持了一点凯拉的人设，但是一枪下去故事结束，前期大篇的铺垫和努力也全毁了。马蒂死得像个笑话，我对这个IP的喜欢也像个笑话[/spoiler] [spoiler] 你最好有第三部并且像柯南道尔复活福尔摩斯一样复活马蒂 [/spoiler]
