Harold Halibut

20年前欧洲文艺片导演用黏土动画顺利实现跨行业再就业，甚至不用琢磨艺术表现力，虽然黏土动画早就不吃香了，但是在游戏领域还能独领风骚。 也不用思考人设和剧本，文艺片鼎盛时期的垃圾桶里摸黑抓几个剧本出来揉一揉就能用了，多样化和谜语人，以及政治隐喻全都有了。

I wanted to like this game, and im going to finish it, but thats because i have ocd not because its good or worth finishing. it has some charm, but whatever charm there is is bogged down by annoying things like unlikable characters (rafi and harold himself, has the personality of a wet towel) annoying and tedious side quests like having to trek all the way back to your room 6 seperate times to deliver a series of letters.... and Harold himself is an annoying dopey pushover sack of wet socks. The aliens are cool, i liked them, but the humans on the fedora are just so unlikable.

If you are looking for a game to just chill and vibe to this is perfect. There's not much of a game in here but it makes you think about things in a different light. I love the art style and setting its pretty cool. Only negative is and its not really a negative for me personally but it is a walking and talking sim.

There are aspects of this game that are amazing and there are aspects that loop back around to so bad it's good. This joins Troll 2 and The Stuff as another passion project motivated by a weirdly specific grievance. My dude, central air is great! Who hates air conditioning this much that they make an aircon guy a maniacal villain?

希望以后游戏评测这里可以出了中评，我觉得更符合对这个游戏的评分。 当然我更喜欢这个游戏的视觉效果，所以勉强给个好评。 剧情方面我只能说写的很差劲。举例说明如下： 1、[b]整体剧情节奏感太差了[/b]，如果前面是要为后面的主要剧情点铺垫，节奏慢些，讲的有逻辑些也是好的，但是很多和人 物的对话都是废话，这些剧情没有存在的必要。不知道编剧是怎么考虑的，或许想让这些人物看起来没有那么npc才加入那 些没有任何趣味，也对剧情推进没帮助的对话 2、[b]叙事也差[/b]，最后和人鱼道别时，我觉得编剧是想让大家有哭呀不舍呀的情绪。但显然效果很失败，玩和人鱼的故事线我觉得主角和人鱼的关系更像同事，虽然前面刚救人鱼的时候有一小段快乐时光的视频过渡。但之后就没有主角和人鱼除工 作外的相处剧情了。就开始漫威里save the world的套路，但也没有漫威的影视剧那么带感。 3、[b]中间插入辅助叙事的视频内容的剪辑节奏也差劲[/b]，尤其是最后去和人鱼道别的时候，还故意慢动作，然后走的慢悠悠跟每个人鱼道别，然后主角就不想离开了。就作为一个主角视角，我从来没和这些人鱼有过任何羁绊，我不至于因为路边有好几个人鱼跟我挥手就舍不得离开了吧。那么如果编剧想要偷懒推进情绪，不应该只是慢动作，可以加些跟这些人鱼相处的回忆啊，可惜也没有；当然剧情里主要和黄色斑点那条人鱼有一点点羁绊，我觉得主角慢动作离开时应该闪回些回忆片段啊，可惜也没有，游玩这段时只感觉：我去，慢腾腾的干啥呢！！！！ 4、[b]应该有多个结局供游玩者选择[/b]，比如我是觉得我和人鱼的故事线不足以让我做下舍弃人类同伴的决定。我就可以选回到地球，要不然所有人都按强制的剧情走，剧情写的有很差劲，虽然游戏的视觉风格我很喜欢，但越玩这个游戏越感觉像那种坐牢游戏，比那种要肝的游戏玩着还让人不舒畅。

Had a crap day. This game made me feel an odd hope for humanity. Thanks <3 More useful to the general public, maybe: This game gives you an achievement for playing it slowly. This game is Art, or at least that's the impression I'm getting. The story is perfectly coherent and it's all very enjoyable without an art degree or deep interpretation. But I also get the feeling I could find some deeper meaning with some replays or pondering discussion in a [strike] book [/strike] game club. The physical 3D models are real cool and give the place and everything a very unique vibe. There's all sorts of different art styles and mechanics in places I wouldn't expect them to be, but whatever Vision the devs had, it works well together. Lots of nods to philosophy, issues of society, and the likes. But all tied down to individuals. I'm not sure I'd say the characters feel "realistic"... well, not realistic humans, but real characters, maybe? They're certainly distinct. Good writing too, sometimes deeper, sometimes more light hearted and funny, lots of lovely little details. Mostly linear story. Controls and tasks can feel a bit tedious at times, but I think that might be the point? After a while I didn't mind it much. Generally no technical issues, except cutscenes sometimes having some glitchy graphics, and a few places where Harold gets stuck on geometry sometimes (spamming A does the trick). Good game, recommend.

I'm very torn on the rating. On one hand it's beautifully made and realized. On the other I feel like I can barely call it a game. It's a walking simulator, dressed up as an adventure game, which really threw me (I like the latter, and dislike the former). I think the developers should have actually made a movie instead of a game. It would have forced them to trim the fat and cut out all the boring bits. While the game is interactive, this is mostly walking from A to B following your objectives, which got old for me real quick. The "challenge" lies in remembering who/where each person is. There are some extra "mini-games", which, again, are not puzzles/games. The setting and story explore some interesting themes, that are supported by the lack of choice and gameplay. So all in all... this is the least exciting game I've played in a long time (and bought on a whim, my bad). I can recommend it if you're looking for a slow paced, easy... activity. I'm still giving it a thumbs up, despite missing the mark for me, personally.

+ surface materials + worldbuilding - writing - dull gameplay in summary, it's just very boring. At least to the point where I've played, there's fairly little player agency. And things are like: "I have trouble with the connection, can you go ask someone for help". Player walks across the whole game world, watching the same transit animations several times. "No, I can't help". Player walks across the whole game world, watching the same animations several times. "Oh, I figured it out once you left. Forgot to send you a message". Don't these people have phones? Oh right! They do! edit: Got to the end. Didn't get much better. Slow walk after goodbyes (you'll know if you play it) was cruel and unusual.

comprei o jogo principalmente pelo processo criativo e artesanal de sua produção, mas não demorou muito para começar a me surpreender. vivendo a rotina de Harold, um simples zelador, descobri alguém que faz parte da vida de todos ao seu redor. sem ser um herói ou alguém extraordinário, ele tem relações genuínas através da empatia, da escuta e dos seus pequenos gestos. a premissa é de ficção científica, mas tem uma história profundamente humana sobre pertencimento, comunidade e propósito. encontrei beleza em conversas e momentos simples que muitos jogos ignoram. sua impressionante estética artesanal torna esse mundo ainda mais vivo e acolhedor, mas é a humanidade dos personagens que realmente fica na memória. Harold Halibut me fez enxergar algo que nunca foi fácil para mim: no fim, as memórias mais importantes não vêm de grandes aventuras ou dos feitos extraordinários, mas sim das pessoas que fazem parte de tudo isso.

Дико скучная, безумно затянутая и бредовая история. Уважение только за технологию и анимацию.
