Deus Ex Machina, Game of the Year, 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition

I am machine. I have always been.

首先是在b站上从33的视频里接触到这款游戏。因为是纯英文并且语速非常快，所以我在理解的同时也积极聆听的每一个场景的背景音乐，给我的感受是一个有缺陷的受精卵，本应该夭折，但却不可思议的出生。当然，他的成长之路布满了痛苦与绝望，但是他自己没有停下向前奔跑，身边也会有人引导他，最终他战胜了他人的讥笑，战胜了自己心灵上的缺陷从而成为了一个真正具备人类优秀品质的，一个当之无愧的堂堂正正的人，一个真实的生命。一个不仅仅依靠求生本能而是更具备了一种积极的悲观主义精神的哲学思想。从这一刻开始，不，应该说从一开始开始，只要我们不失去崇高，整个世界都会向我们敞开大门。当一个生命战胜了自己，那么他就会像传奇般的宫本武藏一样永远立于不败之地！

[h2]Para os amantes de retrogaming e história dos videogames, Deus Ex Machina, Game of the Year, 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition é uma peça de museu interativa essencial, diferindo radicalmente dos jogos tradicionais.[/h2] [b]Aqui estão os pontos principais para quem aprecia clássicos:[/b] [h3]Pioneirismo Histórico:[/h3] Lançado originalmente em 1984, é considerado o primeiro "filme interativo" da história, fundindo narrativa surrealista com jogabilidade. [h3]Experiência Artística:[/h3] O jogo é descrito mais como uma obra de arte do que um desafio mecânico. Não há "game over"; o foco é a jornada audiovisual sincronizada, onde o jogador vivencia o ciclo da vida, do nascimento à morte. [h3]Conteúdo Preservado:[/h3] Esta edição é definitiva, pois inclui a versão original completa (para puristas), uma trilha sonora remasterizada e um novo [u]"Director's Cut"[/u] com gráficos atualizados. [h3]Elenco de Peso:[/h3] Conta com a dublagem de ícones como Jon Pertwee (Doctor Who) e Ian Dury, mantendo sua relevância cultural mesmo 30 anos depois. É uma experiência experimental e psicodélica, recomendada para quem busca entender as raízes da narrativa nos games, longe dos padrões de FPS ou RPG convencionais.

[h1]Introduction[/h1] [b]Deus Ex Machina[/b] is an art-house video game from the 80s. The game features both the original version and a remastered one with completely remade graphics. [h1]Pros & Cons[/h1] [b]Pros:[/b] + Great soundtrack + Unique trippy atmosphere [b]Cons:[/b] - No ability to pause the game - No way to continue the game - Technical issues - Very short (around 40 minutes) [h1]Story[/h1] The game tells of a distant future, where people are born from test tubes, raised by machines and controlled by the government. During the course of the game, you will follow the life of such a man from its beginning in a test tube to the bitter end. The story is pretty abstract, voice actors just throw a lot of philosophical quotes at you instead of describing what happens on the screen. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] It's hard to assign a genre to this game, it is composed of short levels where you move a green square around and interact with things. The game doesn't state a goal, though it's easy to figure out, once you understand the controls (move with arrows, space to interact). There's no winning or losing here, you can even complete this game without ever touching your keyboard. Though the game tracks your percentage of completion, it doesn't matter at all. There isn't even a leaderboard. [h1]Graphics & Audio[/h1] There are two graphics modes in this game, the original one with pixel graphics and the remastered one, that looks like photo clippings. Both graphic modes are hard on the eyes, with lots of bright colors and flashy animations. The original one is very minimalistic, but it has a certain style and your imagination will easily fill the gaps with the help of an amazing audio. The remastered version however didn't quite click for me. It felt like a game prototype with placeholder graphics. The main reason why I'd recommend this game is its unique audio. There are around 40 minutes of great music and voice acting done by famous British actors. It easily outshines all other aspect of the game and makes it feels like a music video. [h1]Performance[/h1] Specs: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU 8GB, 32GB RAM. Windows 11. The performance is good, too good, because the game runs very, very fast for me, because its speed is tied to FPS. So if your monitor supports more than 60 FPS, it will be very difficult to enjoy the game since the visuals will become even trippier. I advise you to cap your frame rate using 3rd party applications. There are other issues with it, like the lack of pause button and no way to exit the game correctly, the process still runs in the background after exiting, you have to shut it down yourself. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] While [b]Deus Ex Machina[/b] is a unique and enjoyable experience, I would only recommend it to those who want to listen to some amazing music and enjoy trippy visuals. If you're looking for an interesting story or fun gameplay, you won't find it here.

Çok bir şey beklemeyin, bir sanat eseri olarak o kadar 'derin' değil ve bir oyun olarak çok bir vasfı yok fakat elektronik sanatlar tarihi açısından önemli ve ilginç bir parça olduğu reddedilemez bir gerçek.

Интересный архтаусный проект древности. Графика соответствующая, крайне минималистичная с минимумом цветов. В игре есть режим "улучшенной графики", но как по мне он выглядит заметно более безвкусно. Сама игра повествует о жизни мутанта в футуристическом мире, о чём можно узнать или из речи рассказчика, либо из других источников. В игре, к сожалению, есть английский язык. Даже субтитров английских нет. Поэтому выловить какие-либо детали истории будет тяжело тем, для кого английский не является родным языком. Геймплейно же игра представляет из себя набор миниигр, каждая из которых длится по 5-10 минут. Они довольно простые и большинство из них интуитивны, но полученный за их выполнение счёт абсолютно опционален, и ни на что не влияет. Если и перепроходить игру, то два раз, без и с комментариями от разработчиков. В целом, это очевидный морально устаревший продукт своего времени, который впрочем за счёт свой артхаусности и музыкального сопровождения может немного развлечь. Проект бесплатный, поэтому я его рекомендую, но нужно относится к нему как к музейному экспонату.

A bit eccentric but beautiful nonetheless. Mind this isn't really a game tho.

A real Deus Ex Machina to game industry

This game is totally broken. The very first mission is bugged and there is no restart, pause or anything. Is full of technical bugs and issues. The game doesn't even close from steam. Is a shame. Maybe in the future i can change my review if the issues are solved
