Chroma Zero

Yeah idk why I haven't heard anyone mention this game my laptop hated it, but i loved it

Great puzzle game :)

This game is great! It's a metroidbrainia, mostly, but you do unlock some abilities so it's not a "pure" MB. I definitely don't want to spoil it! A few of the puzzles were somewhat obtuse, but I only looked up the solution to one (optional) puzzle at the very end, which I'd already solved 90% of. Some of the puzzles I was quite stuck on, and I looked at a guide for hints (which I think was made by the game's author), but the hints basically told me to think about it harder, and that got me to actually solve them. My physics professor in college would give hints like this to the problem set. "Oh, this problem is easy; you just need to think a bit more carefully about it." It wasn't very helpful then, but it was legit helpful here, so I don't know. Anyway, it's a great game, very worth playing if you like puzzles where you have to figure out the mechanics yourself. The game plops you into a fairly compact world and asks you to understand exactly how it all works and how to navigate it to do what you want to do. There's guidance, but the guidance doesn't spell things out for you, usually. The resulting aha moments feel quite earned, and by the end, you have grown in knowledge, which is the point of playing an MB, right? I don't recall who recommended this game -- might have been something on Reddit or on YouTube -- but I'm glad to have played it. It may not be for everyone, but it's definitely for me!

非常优秀的知识锁+能力锁游戏。一小块三环带组成的地图被反复利用，成为不同的箱庭关卡。 还有这音乐做得太好了，氛围感拉满。 以下强剧透，没通关的不要看 [spoiler] 我在世界变暗前一直没进过品红色塔。是瀑布底下的品红塔的图让我知道该怎么“毁灭世界”的。但是没进过品红塔之前碰lightgate的Zero不应该让我再继续？可能是bug。 有两个地方没对上电波。 一个是给传送门染色。当时只试出了减法染色，但是进黄色金字塔需要所有颜色，所以减法染色行不通。我试出来了“进传送器给颜色会传送器关上的时候传送”，但是我是在白色传送器里给红色试的，所以没发现给颜色实际上能叠加颜色，这点比较可惜，可能应该再多想想的。后来跳跳乐到同心圆里找到了答案。 我在想是不是把玩家关在一个学习传送器染色的小关会比较好，但是鉴于随时都可以重置，我可能会直接重置而不是思考怎么用传送器出来。 还有一个电波没对上是世界变暗之后第一步不知道该干啥（好像很多人都遇到了这个坎）。 虽然Zero说他把剩下的能量都给了我，但是我也没搞清楚他到底给了我啥。世界变暗前刚好会集齐所有的三个环带能量，复活之后Zero在一开始就给了我三个环带能量。这两步之间没有差异，导致我没发现重置之后我本来不应该有所有环带能量。可能更醒目得提示我这一点会更好。 还有Zero一直说让我“平衡/Balance”能量。之前的“平衡”都是让我把没填上的颜色填上，但是世界变暗之后没什么可以填的东西了，也没办法够所有还亮着的东西。 而且因为我没进过品红塔，都不知道还缺一个按钮这回事。 后来直接查了Steam社区指南里的提示。 [/spoiler]

a nice experience, slightly cryptic towards the end, a brain bender for sure.

Hop on this one, Outer Wilds fans. You're gonna love it. You're not going to love the lack of reviews for the game, but you can, of course, rectify that! There's no loop in the real world, you gotta seize fate by the nipples and pull! Pull as hard as you can!

Very interesting puzzle game, with non-linear methods of progression and quite challenging puzzles. As you can solve the puzzles in various order, it might happen that the hint obtained when solving a puzzle isn't really needed since it's stuff that has been already solved, but it's part of the freedom given in this game. The lack of an undo button without resetting the entire level can make solving some parts a bit tedious, but regardless I highly suggest Chroma zero if you like puzzle games.

Pretty good.

ihuh

good thinky, the middle part gets a lil tough to think about but it also lets you do quite a lot if you know what you're doing within the bounds of the game that is
