Lost Remnant: The End Tides

I tried out this game from a friend's recommendation. Also, I am a fan of Jeff Sproul's work on Twitch a few years ago. After a first few minutes of playing, I wasn't confident I would complete the game. A point-and-click game felt very limited but I gave it a shot. I think what drew me in initially was wanting to discover the scope of the game. Since the game opens up more pieces along the way, this would lead me to continue playing longer than anticipated. The more areas I realized I couldn't reach unless I collected items to craft some required pieces, the more the game sucked me in. When I found the ship I became committed to finishing the game. There are three items that bothered me though. First, there's far too much literature to read for my taste. There's a ton of scrolls and I damn near skipped every one of them. The scrolls are supposed to help you find hidden areas, understand how things work, and build a story but I found you can go far by just clicking all over the screen until you find something by accident. Unfortunately, at some point in the game, I was stuck because I had not yet discovered an area that would otherwise have been advertised by the scrolls. I am far too lazy to read over that much text (45 scrolls!) to identify this last spot. So, I cheated by watching someone else's video to find the one area I had not clicked all over the place and that led me to where I needed to go next. Initially, the second complaint is the stamina/sleep mechanic. I didn't really find it useful to the game at first and it annoyed me a bit during some of the necessary grinding. It does become relevant later as it becomes a mechanic for certain areas. Also, despite the stamina/sleep mechanic feeling annoying, it did break me out of my hyper-focus to grind. So, in the end, it worked out to be a good mechanic after all since it kicked me out of "grinding mode" and that is a good thing. My last complaint is the background music. It makes sense to have foreboding music when reading some scrolls that are relevant to the story. Then there are times where you are grinding or reading scrolls (informational only) and the same foreboding music feels unsuitable. Imagine playing the NES Zelda where the entire game was "dungeon" music. My feedback would be to switch background music or sounds according to the setting. At fishing areas, throw in some background sounds you'd hear for that setting. Underground areas, throw in something similar to a "dungeon" background sound.

Great game. I've spent 1.6 hours on it on the first day I played it. It's quite addictive if you like single player based adventure games. Overall, a really underrated game.

This game is nice and neat. It's mostly about gathering various resources to craft and sell. But it breaks this across a variety of areas and intersperses it with enough lore bits that it doesn't feel like a grind. It's just long enough to tell its story without the mechanics wearing out its welcome. Plus its free. So definitely give it a try.

Hero of The Kingdom的低劣仿制品。 画面音乐就不说了，反正HOTK也是复古风，主要说玩法吧。 HOTK系列之所以能以粗糙的画面赢得好评主要是故事和搜找物品、管理资源的玩法衔接紧密，让你一个个小任务做得停不下来。Lost Remnant这个游戏则没有掌握到其精髓，首先故事只是由主角在收集过程中发现的漂流瓶和纸条故事穿起来的，开始时并没有明确的任务链，对玩家的推动力明显不足。而且各种工具比较贵，造成前期就是收集各种低级资源（随时刷新不会捡完）、低级加工、睡觉回体力、卖东西攒钱的循环，简单地说前期需要刷刷刷，在没有剧情和任务推动的情况下我不知道能有多少人能有耐心刷下去（前面评论里那些亲友团除外）。其次这游戏界面设计比HOTK差得不止一个档次，每次看资源数量都要打开菜单，加工的时候、在商店买卖的时候都看不到自己手上各种资源和钱有多少，空做了一堆x5、x10的按钮，然而根本没有起到简化操作的效果。

Bu oyundan iyice keyif aldım, esrarengiz korkularla dolu gizemli nokta ve tıklamayı okuduğumda beklediğim gibi değildi. Oyun temelde bazı işaretle ve tıkla yönleri olan bir kaynak yönetimi toplama oyunudur, ancak pek fazla değil, bu da tek bir gizli nesneyi aramak veya hedefinize doğru istikrarlı bir şekilde ilerlemek için saatlerce bir nesneyi nasıl kullanacağınız yerine iyi bir nedendir. Oyun, olay örgüsünü veya hikayeyi bozmak için sürekli verilen mesajlarla gerçekten keyifliydi, çok fazla görünür tekinsiz yaratık yok ama onlardan çokça bahsediliyor. deneyin.

Wonderful one player game. Relaxing and very interesting. Wish it were longer!
