Cultist Simulator

神秘学风味的合成大西瓜

I've had this game for so long and put so many hours in it and yet never wrote a review so here it is. It's not a game for everyone, and the learning curve is steep. I have introduced others to it, and they all loved it as much as I did, but only one of those actually beat it like me. The others, years later, are still trying to figure it out when coming back to it. The mechanics of the game could be resumed in a single sentence. There is only one interaction. You put cards on verbs. BUT, it comes with exponential possibilities. You have to figure out what does what, and playing it kinda feels like you were trying to experiment with occult and alchemy and learn it on your own. It is rewarding when you figure out mechanics, but figuring them out is only the beginning, combining and planning for something greater is when this game becomes the most exciting. Even after years and over 400 hours in the game on Steam (I must specify, since I also bought the mobile version and have actually MORE hours on it), I feel unable to uninstall it. I still have less than 50% of achievements to go due to all of the variant endings. I feel everytime I play it, I can plan for a new objective, a new ending, and build a narrative to reach it. Every time will take me weeks to get through it with on and off game play, but it will always give me pleasure. This game is like no other. If you love it, you will look for more like it and with be met with the harsh reality that it is unique. Some games are similar, but never exactly what you are looking for. Even the actual sequel to it is a different kind of game (with its own charms). Some people argue that it is not even a card game, but the reality is that it's in a genre of its own and needed to be in a starter category, and from that category, you discover the game and learn it is much more than you expected, and discovering this is actually the main appeal of the game.

Preface: I only got this because reviews said it was hard to pick up and you had to learn the mechanics by trial and error. Honestly liked it more than I thought I would. The inability to do certain things frustrates me but probably because I don't have enough experience yet (I've only done 2 rounds). The lore doesn't interest me much but the writing is still good. It's also easy enough to ignore if you want to focus on the gameplay (scandalous to say about an AK game, I know) I like it but would never recommend it to someone unless I knew they would LOVE it.

适合静下心来慢慢玩 有问题再去找老登答疑解惑 应该能收获比较完整的游戏体验

어디까지나 주관적인 평가긴 한데, 텍스트 분량 ㅈㄴ 많은 주제에 턴제가 아니라 타임어택이 걸린 게임이라는 게 너무 치명적으로 힘듦...

硬核不是这么玩的。文案很好，其他拉完，游戏性约等于滚木，开局刷属性纯纯坐牢，不看攻略很难弄明白看了攻略也很难弄明白。最难崩的是只有一个存档位，我一周目想看看社畜结局什么样直接自动存档删号了，只能说谁爱玩谁玩

Неплохая штука, затягивающая, интересная Но уж больно много отталкивающих моментов: - Ожидание, очень много моментов, когда просто сидишь и ждешь таймеры, не хватает кнопки скипа времени до следующего таймера; - Часть событий по ощущениям появляются внезапно и без причины - В целом некоторые задачи не самые понятные для требований Штука хорошая, но действительно следует разобраться, а также запастись временем
