Cultist Simulator

喜欢阅读独特优美文字的人必玩

It pains me to write a negative review for this game because of its beautiful art, nice game feel and interesting lore. However there's an elephant in the room that kills the deal for me (and probably will for you too), and that is its lack of consistency. The absence of a tutorial or in-game tooltips that actually explain anything marks the core intention of the game design: you have to figure out everything. This is taken to the extreme when you even have to figure out what the game is about and what its main objective is. That's not necessarily bad, and would be perfectly fine if the game had a consistent set of rules for the human pattern-seeking ability to discover them, or at least align the cryptic tooltips hints with what actually happens in the game. Sadly the game has neither. The game wants you to figure out, and at the same time it doesn't let you. That's where the problem lies. *SPOILER SECTION AHEAD* The best example of this is the painting ability: -Notoriety/Mysticism should yield you more funds the more you put them inside, according to tooltips. It doesn´t. -You try different combinations and amounts of them, result doesn't change. -Skill level doesn't scale results consistently. -Painting with passion makes more "personal" paintings. Is it good or bad? Unclear. -Does passion yield more funds? Unclear. -Theme of the painting changes funds outcome? Unclear. And this is just one example. Working with health skill gives 1 or 2 funds permanently no matter what you do, and variates between game runs. Is fascination a good/positive card? Tooltip suggests it is, tuns out it isn't. Do you want to upgrade a heart follower with a heart ceremony? It won't work, but a low level lamp ceremony will do. What is an aspect? What is moth? What even is the seventh intention? What causes wounds on followers? Why some cards glow like they are fit for the task, but then won't work?. So many questions, no clear answers, lots of inconsistencies. Also, no history tracking to understand what just happened with your vanished cards. No independent save files. No reload game state to a certain point. No glossary that expands as you discover things. And the cherry on top: sometimes you do stuff that abruptly ends the game run, and you have to start all over again.

J'apprécie beaucoup ce jeu, parce qu'il me résiste. Il faut apprendre à jouer tout seul, mais cela donne un peu la sensation, lorsque l'on commence à mieux maitriser les mécaniques, de jouer de manière intuitive. La progression est gratifiante. Il y a une bonne rejouabilité, les DLC apportent vraiment des nouveautés. Le gameplay nourrit vraiment le propos, et si ce n'était pas si bien caché, l'aspect d'horreur cosmique et Lovecraftien marcherait beaucoup moins bien, parce que le mystère vient de ce qui n'est pas dit, mais de ce que l'on comprend. Cependant, je comprend les gens qui disent que l'absence de tuto à ce petit coté 'branlette intellectuelle', mais clairement, si il y en avait un, le jeu n'aurait plus vraiment d'intérêt. A mes yeux une grosse partie du plaisir vient de l'apprentissage, du mystère et de toute la curiosité que cela peut provoquer. Je comprend aussi que certains trouvent les mécaniques répétitives et quelque peu hasardeuses. Ce me semble être un peu le cas. Je me découvre encore en tant que joueur, et j'ignorais que j'aimais autant les jeux de cartes. Depuis cette découverte j'apprécie particulièrement le deckbuilding, que ce soit en jeu de société, ou IRL sur table.

没有新手指引，上手有点难度，但是文案故事不错，总体瑕不掩瑜

虽然玩了这么长时间还没有玩懂但是很好玩的样子【？】非常喜欢文字风格，汉化立大功，世界观体系也很有意思。
