总体还挺好玩的,而且全成就收集不难 但file 6的结局有一种[spoiler]为了让Larika输而输[/spoiler]的感觉,以及我不喜欢Anadyne当队长的时候,[spoiler]最后选择有毒的根源是她自己,竟然才是正确答案。[/spoiler]我可以接受她这样自我厌恶,这和她的身份有关,但是作者将其判定为正确就是另一回事了……
More methods but Canadian, But joking aside , It is a prequel story to the First methods game same great art, music ,story ,puzzles and characters you'd expect from a LockedOn games. i kind of forgot/ kind of remembered that ending for this was already set.so even in the last chapter as I playing is was still hoping again hope that is would end different . I was super invested and played almost non stop, and was on my edge of my seat at the end it really is that good!. this was originally early access but I basically treated it like a Kickstarter .I bought played for a like a second ,then waited till is full released before I started playing for real. there are lots of extras to unlock including insight into the making of the game which was interesting to read.
好玩!
Just like "The Detective Competition", this prequel is simply fantastic! The strongest point again are the wonderfully weird characters and their banter dynamics. The setting is also used to its full advantage.
作为补充性的续作,加拿大档案拥有不错的独立性,即使对本系列作品一无所知也可以放心游玩。本作比之第一部,在可玩性上有了相当可观的改善,对应的也放弃了一部分群像,不过在人物塑造上依然精彩鲜明。就我个人而言,有些高开平走,最后一案没能达到前作中我的期待,但也可以,能接受。
一号档案:给所有有关时间的证据与问题打差评,既要考虑时间顺序,还要考虑证言真伪,更要揣摩作者意图。你想的二,作者想的2,然后给你判负,简直吃屎体验。除此以外的质询和反驳都还可以 二号档案:思路不合的问题更加大了,考虑到档案结尾还有评分,这种片面评价显得更恶心人。真不如把互动环节删掉,或者评分系统删掉。纯纯耽误看故事,影响沉浸感。各种看不懂的互动小游戏 我觉得已经没必要考虑了,这个互动系统完完全全毁了故事的阅读体验
spoiler free*: a fun mystery visual novel that i didnt realize was a sequell, with Plenty of content for the asking price. as someone who doesnt frequent the mystery game genre, the game was very approachable, only major issue i had durring my playthrough was some of the clues in the second case file felt very abstract and made the case a little harder than it was supposed to be. originally i planned on complaining about that, but after reading the dev notes that were included with the game, my feedback would've been redundant. the investigation sections were quite engaging, getting a top-down view of the 3d location. the autopsy minigame was simple but the visuals were clear and readable, they also had a distinct look to them assisted by the robot's uncanny design that made each autopsy just a little off-feeling (in a good way). the ending didnt land great with me especially without some of the context from the first methoods game. easy recomend for visual novel enjoyers. i will be playing the first methoods game soon and watching for the next title in the series
好游戏,但是最后是未完待续。。。。。。 那我只能给你4颗星 ———————— 立刻更改评价为五颗星,这居然是前传。。。。。。。正传,我真的一秒都等不了你就要来了!!!!
虽然很推荐这个作品 但是结局我很不喜欢!虽然大概知道讲述的是什么意思,但是不剧透的讲,这结局就是好像说了也好像没说。 这里面的故事诡计写的很不错,希望下一部故事能更好。
填了前作一些坑,ui和表现力都比前作好了很多。很不错的轻度推理小品。
