The game is a walking simulator with survival horror moments. And neither of those things are rewarding. There's not a lot of mystery for you to uncover: the game feeds you what you "need" to know and it doesn't seem like anything periphery matters. There's not much point to exploring, which is actually a bit disappointing because the graphics, setting, and theming are kind of nice. The survival horror moments come and go, more than few times without warning. You might or might not see that something has appeared and is about to chase you; you might simply notice you're suddenly able to *actually run* (vs. walking slightly faster) and that the music has picked up. Things chasing you will randomly stop or encounter obstructions -- again, you'll know when you're suddenly unable to run anymore. All interactions (including "crouch under here", "jump over this", "squeeze through this way") are mouse clicks when prompted, which feels clumsy in the midst of "OMG IT'S RIGHT BEHIND ME" moments. And it *is* right behind you: there is very little economy for missteps, failure to run ASAP, and not centering your view to make that crouch/jump/squeeze click as soon as it's available. And *when* it catches you, you'll have to sit through the entire murder/autopsy/being-eaten scene: the controls are disabled, so there's no skipping it. And these scenes are not short: while they're not terribly detailed, it very much struck me that they felt purposefully drawn out. But that's cool, because this is only half of the game... in that, there is no other half that's playable: you just get stringed along [spoiler]by some sort of time loop involving a future you[/spoiler] that isn't actually part of the game. "Concepts" of an ending. Boo.

Альтернативная история про то, как Никола Тесла победил в "электрической революции". Хотя, сам Тесла не главный герой, но воплощение его изобретений встречаются по ходу всей игры. Играем мы за героиню - девушку Роуз - которой пришло странное письмо от младшей сестры с просьбой прибыть к ней на работу. И местом работы является не скучный серый офис, а огромный корабль, чье убранство явно вдохновлено такой игрой как Биошок. По прибытию, Роуз никто не встречает и мы пробираемся навстречу сестре по полуразрушенным локациям. По пути нас ждут не особо сложные головоломки, скримеры (моргнувший свет, резко открывающаяся дверь итд), враги (которые скорее разочаровали: всю игру мы будем убегать и стоит героине запнуться на милисекунду об ящик - прости, прощай, лови красный компот на экране) и записки (и очень странно, я облазила каждый угол, но в половине глав не смогла их собрать все). Смутили сильно бюджетность анимаций других персонажей, иногда игра лагала при подгрузке уровня и в конце накрутили сюжет, который я так в итоге и не поняла. Видимо, хотели вложить глубокий смысл и задумку, но что-то как-то... Не сложилась картинка у меня в голове. Я брала игру на скидках за 450 тенге (примерно 75 рублей), и накатив озвучку вышло неплохое приключение на 6 часов.
Історія, нехай, і цікава, але таймінги і трігери змусили мене сильно страждати. Контенту не те, щоб багато, ще й проблеми на старті з необхідністю додавати змінну оточення для мого компа, але гра дечому мене навчила. Після 4х смертей від першого енкаунтера, я забила х*р на смерті і перестала боятися. Елемент горрору тут же зник, тому що ці кляті тригери працюють через одне місце.
Loved it. Wished they would make more games like this!
Неоднозначная игра, с одной стороны интересный сюжет но по итогу как будто поиграл в половину игры а было бы интересно раскрыть сюжет полностью. Но главный минус это оптимизация так как местами игра идёт выше 170fps но местами проседает до 25fps и это очень сбивает с толку особенно в момент когда вам нужно убегать от монстра а у вас 25fps. В итоге игра хорошая но её как будто недоделали либо очень спешили с её выпуском при этом порезали сюжет и не допилили оптимизацию.
[h1] Must Destroy The Circle [/h1] Close To The Sun is a really great game! If you enjoy walking simulators with mystery, fun writing, and puzzles, then this game is for you! When I first played this game, I thought it was going to be just a simple walking simulator with few puzzles strewn about the place, but I was really wrong. Firstly, the story of this game is pretty interesting. The whole idea of a giant ship the size of, what I believe to be, bigger than a modern day cruise ship and have facilities to have multiple giant floors is intriguing. Plus, they fill in the lore with tid bits of newspapers and writings on the wall. All of it makes for a very interesting and wild ride of an alternate history world. Plus, the characters, and their connections to inventions and world events make this so much cooler. The game play is not super detailed, here. I mean, this is a walking simulator, but there are chase scenes and puzzles. There are many horror aspects to this game, but it really adds to it, I think. The overall feeling of this game is really there. It feels like Bioshock, as others have said. And, it ties history with interesting voice acting, and fun puzzles. I don't think many will like this game, but it had some good moments. I hope you check it out, Time travelers!
GamesVoice, спасибо за озвучку!
Close To The Sun aka Біосхоцк на колінках. Геймплей: Симулятор ходьби з тицянням кнопок, механізмів, тощо. Розбавляє цю нудоту наявність загадок, але доволі простих. Напочатку були певні натяки на горор, але в подальшому це скотилося до "З'явився Шизоїд/Краказябра? Жми shift та тікай до кінця рівня." У цьому плані я розчарований. Гадав буде щось хоч не на кшталт Біошоку, але хоча б на рівні горору. Дизайн рівнів: Маються проблеми у вигляді нелогічних тупиків чи кімнат без нічого. Графіка: Для 2020-го зійде, але присутні моменти з вогнем, парою, анімаціями. Оптимізація: В моменти підвантаження локацій були просадки до 30 fps, але чогось жахливішого не було. Сюжетна складова: Простенький теслапанк з вкрай очікуваними поворотами. Для гри на 5-6 годин непогано. Мінус - засрано записками. На жаль, цей прийом возвели в абсолют, нехтуючи іншими. Загалом: 6/10. Доволі непогано зроблено, але якби ще кілька мінусів, то був би негативний відгук. Чи купляв би за повну ціну? - Тільки по знижці
No lo termine, Lo terminare en algun momento pienso... No le pongo un pulgar para abajo porque realemnte no me parece que el juego este mal o sea malo, simplemente es lo que es . Graficamente es muy bonito, la historia es interesante. Vas caminando de una lado al otro tratandote de abrirte camino y buscando pistas en lugares inmensos vacios y muy bonitos mientras avanzas en la historia, dos por tres te corretea un loquito. Es mas un simulador de caminar, que no esta mal. Se ve bonito y con una historia muy interesantre.
挺有意思的虚构时代背景，如果特斯拉没有英年早逝，并且还实现了他的那些惊天发明，比如无线发电、死光等等，世界会是什么的样子。流程不长，感觉像看了一场电影，不过可惜虽然世界观设计不错，美术品质也很高，开头悬疑的气氛也烘托得不错，但是最后发现剧情出奇地简单，而且故事中有些坑还没填，都留给玩家脑补了。
