Empress Of The Deep 2: Song Of The Blue Whale

[h1] ИМПЕРАТРИЦА ГЛУБОКОГО ДНА [/h1] [code] [b] Empress Of The Deep 2: Song Of The Blue Whale [/b] - квест-приключение от разработчика Gogii Games, изданное небезызвестной канадской студией Strategy First. Игра вышла в июне 2007 года и на данный момент имеет чуть менее 100 отзывов, по совокупности дающих "очень положительный" рейтинг. Мне игра скорее не понравилась, почему - рассмотрим ниже.[/code] [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ СЮЖЕТ ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] Со времен первой части проходит какое-то время. Для тех, кто запамятовал - играть нам предстоит от лица Анны - наследницы подводного королевства, чья семья, за исключением злобной кровной сестры Пандоры, не то погибла, не то бесследно исчезла. Разгадав злобный план Пандоры в предыдущем эпизоде, мы едва успеваем унести ноги из рушащегося у нас на глазах водного царства, в процессе оказываясь на поверхности. Однако, покоя нашей героине не видать. Все тот же вездесущий старик-советник снова вываливает на нас неожиданную новость - оказывается, во владениях нашей семьи был не только подводный, но и воздушный город. И все бы хорошо, да только и там наша злобная сестра уже успела похозяйничать и навести свой "порядок", заточив в ужасном плену четверых детей света - вечных хранителей парящего града. И раз уж иной родины у нас больше не осталось - ничего не поделаешь, идем спасать детишек от козней злобной родни. [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ ГЕЙМПЛЕЙ ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] Игровой процесс в Empress Of The Deep 2: Song Of The Blue Whale, как и в первой части, все также выстроен по принципу классического квеста с элементами point and click и внезапными головоломками. Стоит отметить с порога, что игра, скажем так, уже не первой свежести, в связи с чем весьма сложно судить объективно, насколько тот или иной момент является минусом или просто издержками времени. Но я попробую изложить все, как есть. Основу игры составляет хождение по различным локациям парящего города. Условно он разделен на четыре зоны, по количеству времен года. Мест в них довольно немало, и нам необходимо будет пристально и скрупулезно исследовать каждый клочок земли. В верхнем углу экрана, к слову, действует индикатор, наглядно показывающий, все ли выполнено на той или иной локации, или остались еще незавершенные дела. Поиск предметов и мест их предназначения будет попеременно сменяться сценами с разбором хлама (весьма некачественными), а также рядом иных ребусов на подбор (тоже оставляющих желать лучшего). Графически игра, безусловно, выглядит отстало, даже по меркам своего времени. Локаций много, но большая часть из них отрисованы на коленке и мало сочетаются друг с другом. Музыка здесь больше отвлекает и мешает, нежели настраивает на нужный лад, и вырубить её хочется буквально с порога. В наличии есть режим подсказок, но и он не всегда приводит к нужным результатам. Русского языка, карточек и достижений Steam здесь не предусмотрено. Если сравнивать продолжение с первой частью, которая также не сильно пришлась мне по вкусу, то должен сказать, что вопреки мнению Steam-сообщества, оригинал мне понравился чуточку больше данного сиквела. В первой части мы имели цельную локацию подводного города, по которой бродили, открывая новые места, и это худо-бедно создавало целостное впечатление. Здесь же разработчик пошел по пути наименьшего сопротивления, и тупо сделал четыре зала, в которых нам по сути четыре раза необходимо пройти через одно и то же - собрать n-деталек какого-то предмета и найти магические знаки, позволяющие пройти дальше. Данная репетативность сморится вдвойне ужасно, когда накладывается на сюжет, практически полностью копирующий историю из первой части. Одним словом, разочарование по всем фронтам. [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ ПЛЮСЫ И МИНУСЫ ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] + Частые скидки + Есть возможность пропускать головоломки + Проходится быстро - Халтурный сюжет под копирку - Устаревшая графика - Неприятная музыка - Отвратительные сцены поиска предметов - Однообразные квесты, четыре раза одно и то же - Высокий ценник - Нет русского языка - Нет достижений и карточек Steam [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ СТОИТ ЛИ ИГРАТЬ? ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] Время полного прохождения: 3 часа. По итогу могу сказать, что данный квест от Gogii Games выглядит еще более халтурно и некачественно, чем его предшественник, хотя казалось бы - куда хуже. Однообразные локации с не менее одинаковыми целями и головоломками омрачается слабой графической подачей, невзрачным аудио-наполнением и сомнительным качеством головоломок. Про сюжет под копирку с первой части уже писал выше. По скидке можно, конечно, попробовать, но... оно Вам надо? [code] Ищете интересные игры, но боитесь выбрать то, что не понравится?

serinin bir diğer oyunu ilkinden de bir farkı yok gizli nesne bulmaca oyunu oynanış ve hikaye bakımından baya kötü herşey sizi yavaşlatmak üstüne kurulmuş

Good game. Story is ok but I don't think I understand all. HOG scenes is better in this game then in first game. Puzzles is ok and not too hard. Cool places and art.

Continue your journey as Anna as she attempts to restore her kingdom and memories. The complaint with the first game is that it was too short and as any true sequel Empress 2 is twice as big and has twice as much to offer. Since this is a hidden object game and since you've mostly likely already played Empress Of The Deep 1 there's not much else to say, it's bigger and there's more of it, so give it a shot if you enjoyed the first game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2389293857

Empress Of The Deep 2: Song Of The Blue Whale is an ancient game from 2007. It's a whopping 16 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks proper widescreen aspect ratio support (it's locked at 4:3) or support for any modern gaming display resolutions, hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge. This is a pretty basic HOG with gameplay no different from your usual Artifex Mundi mobile app. There's an underwater/fantasy/Atlantis skin thrown lazily over this one, but that's just basically a theme. Does it make a difference? Like, are there people who will play an Atlantis HOG, but won't touch a murder mystery themed one? It's like, all the same thing. Once you've played one, you've played them all. Don't ask me how many of these I've played and reviewed. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio. It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just point and click stuff like a browser/Flash game. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. This is a really old game, and if they had made it today, it would be on the mobile app stores, but it predates those. It's not clear why they didn't try to dump this on the app stores (since it clearly seems to be here as some kind of nostalgia gouge). Maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes Empress Of The Deep 2: Song Of The Blue Whale might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Empress Of The Deep 2: Song Of The Blue Whale is relatively expensive for an abandonware nostalgia gouge, at $5 USD, and it's not worth it. The game is just too old, hasn't been modernised. And as the old saying goes, you can't go home again.

my mom made me like hidden object games from childhood and I played a lot of them, my favorite ones would be the the Sprill game series made by Five-BN studios, which I strongly recommend to buy on bigfish if you're into hidden object games the game is good/ OK for a 2007 game, but there are many stuff that holds it back first I'm very disappointed how the game utilizes its resources so few. the scenery when you enter an area can be quite beautiful and makes you appreciate the early 2000s Myst-like art style graphics which I have soft spot for. Unfortunately once in those areas, you just make a couple of hidden object games, then find some other couple of stuff and that's it, you will never come back to that beautiful area again. the first game also had this issue which is huge lost potential to keep me in-game. it also doesn't help that the puzzles are BORING and EASY. you can simply just get done with a whole area in 15 minutes or less before you look at the nice scenery enough. it's like the game itself wants you to finish is ASAP like it's rushing somewhere. zero replay value and unlike the Sprill games, there is no good vibe or even nostalgic feeling present that might get you to visit it again. another thing I don't like is the audio sound quality. sometimes the game just feel LOUD, even if you lower the volume. like all the sounds are mixed with each other with no cohesion. just sounds mixed with each other, also in some cutscenes the video quality gets tooooo low, like I'm talking about 144p low despite the flaws, I recommend it for its cheapness and visuals alone

HOG are my go to relaxing game but I just can't recommend this one. The game holds your hand too much by making everything you can interact with sparkle and basically telling you exactly what you need to do. The voice acting is incredibly boring and made me want to sleep. You can't speed through conversations. You either skip the cut scene entirely or listen to the whole dialog. The only pleasant part of the game was during HOG scenes. Whenever you click on the correct item it makes a very pleasant sound. Most of my hour spent in this game was actually spent ignoring it while the screen was up. I maybe played 30 minutes but I can't take anymore. I guess I got my $1 worth.

The idea that attractive women in video-games are somehow 'offensive to women' is insane. Hidden object games are targeted exclusively at women, & here you have the main character being a conventionally attractive white woman. She is not ugly, she does not look like a man, & she does not look like she has too many chromosomes. & yet action games presumably targeted primarily at young men have deliberately ugly female characters. /rant Good stuff: - Despite being an old game, runs just fine without the need for third party patches or downloads. - Beautiful art. - Very atmospheric. - Not just a hidden object game, contains actual puzzles. - Made before ESG ruined everything. - Great value for money if you get it on sale. - No micro-transactions Bad stuff: - Bad animation.

Visually, it is much more pleasant than the first part. Enjoy.

This was one of the games from my childhood, when my parents and I used to play games every night. I played it a few times after that by myself and completing it several times. Even then I noticed the great visuals, art style and sound effects. And now I just remembered this game from somewhere (I think I just heard the sounds from another game and remembered) and immediately wanted to buy it to have it and play it again. And I managed to complete it in just 2 hours, including the ZEM with a gold trophy. The game may be quite unusual and strange for today's standards and games in general nowadays. However, despite this, this is a really great game, with an extremely pleasant story and easy to understand, at the same time the fantasy is captivating enough. And literally the game has great and incredible visual effects, especially for that time. And the soundtrack and sound effects are...amazing, literally prestigious and nothing like I've seen in recent years (literally such a ASMR, these sounds are so crystal and clear). Back then, games in this category just had this charm in them... And there's literally nothing wrong with this game even if someone plays it today, I highly recommend it! I think a lot of people will like it if someone is looking for something diverse, entertaining and cool. I'm glad it's still on Steam, unfortunately the third game in the series isn't there, but whatever. Otherwise, you don't need to have played the first one to enjoy the second one. The story will also be completely clear.
