os puzzles parecendo pergunta do luciano huck
Always wanted to try this game out - got it at a discount!!! Have only started playing, but it's quite intriguing. Great art-style, great ambiance. Having to actually do research to complete missions is a little awkward at first, but it's well integrated into the story and gameplay. Enjoying it so far, was pleasantly surprised.
Для меня скучновато, к тому же игра требует для прохождения использования внешних источников данных, (А-ля использования поисковика. ) что само по себе не плохо, но тут не очень вписывается в процесс. (Сравниваю со старыми версиями MMO The Secret World. ) Палец вверх бы поставил, чтобы игре рейтинг не сливать, так как смелость создателей я оценил, но с учётом багов не рекомендую.
Call back to the old where in the world is Carmen San Diego series
A friend recommended this game to me, knowing my love for puzzle games. What immediately caught my interest was his mention that solving the missions would require the use of a search engine. It was an intriguing concept I hadn’t encountered before. The first mission sets the tone perfectly: you’re given a quote by an in-game client and tasked with identifying its author using online search. It’s a clever way to blend real-world tools into gameplay. The second mission takes a more open-ended approach, presenting clues in the form of passport stamps. Determining their country of origin took some time, but the hints were thoughtfully designed to steer you in the right direction without feeling forced. Overall, this game offers a refreshing twist on the puzzle, mystery, and detective genres. It cleverly incorporates how people commonly seek answers today by the use of the internet, making it both immersive and intellectually rewarding.
Gosto muito desse jogo porque ele é uma evolução dos jogos da Carmen Sandiego que tinham nos anos 90, É um jogo da Carmen Sandiego, com quebra-cabeças melhor elaborados e um toque de Fear Effect.
The game is pretty chill and interesting. I find it relaxing to google on how I could solve the problem on my own. It gives a personal touch on how I could search the mysteries and find it out using my own word search. It is a fun trivial game also, as a person who's a frequent SG tourist I had multiple city tours and reading some of the trivia I have heard from tours made it more fun. I love the pixel style and the background music. This is going to be one of my go to games for a relaxing weekend.
I played on mac for 5 hours. Then I wanted to continue on windows. That was when I figured out savegamedata was not in the cloud. COuldn't make it work either way. The game itself -so far- asked me to run all kinds of errands for not much fun. I checked some info online to solve their imagined situations. Not recommended. Save your time for better : )
Enjoyable game
或许是对传统文字解密游戏的传承,《牛车水侦探社》让我想到了童年在4399等网站上玩盗版那8-bit像素游戏的日子,无论是美术风格上的模仿和致敬,还是游戏玩法上的渐进式的逻辑思路以及剧情上的关卡设置,都能看到制作组的思路和想法。 游戏的主舞台是架空世界观的新加坡,你也可以将它看作是赛博朋克背景下的唐人街侦探故事,游戏中玩家将扮演一位前警员,经营位于唐人街的侦探社,帮助委托人完成他们的要求,以此来应付定期的租金压力,并逐渐探寻一些显而易见的阴谋。从美术的角度来看,游戏的画风简单但精致,虽然像素风格在独立游戏领域不失为一种讨巧的做法,但依然值得从美术的领域对本作进行欣赏,美中不足的是,人物的画风缺乏一定的辨析度,并没有很好地与场景像素风格搭配在一起,其次场景的互动较为单一,且经常使用文字演出来替代剧情上能够带来演出效果的桥段,因而对美术资源造成了浪费。 玩法上,游戏做到了解谜的连贯和新鲜感,交给玩家充分思考的时间,但要说明的是,谜题的新鲜感随着关卡的深入再逐渐下降,尤其是如果玩家在谜题出现便能看出接下来一系列操作与步骤的基础上,重复的谜题便完全起到了反作用。在游戏解密的设计中,开发者将浏览器内置在了游戏当中,这个打破第四面墙的设计在一开始让我眼前一亮,但随后反复的暂定游戏却在不断消磨我的兴趣。另外,游戏宣传中对世界各地办案的剧情进行了描述,但实际体验与上文一样,存在着新鲜感断崖式下降的现象。整体游戏的设计给我一种一次性愉悦的奇妙体验,倘若在短短几个案件后步入主线,反而或许会是不错的小品游戏。 总之,《牛车水侦探社》建立在复古窗口式解密游戏的印象上,其设计机制有着引人注目的地方,但更多的冗余成分让这些亮点无法长时间支撑玩家继续游戏。
