[h1]「知恵とクリケットバットで突き進め!」[/h1] [hr] [h1]ゲーム紹介[/h1] [b]『Puzzle Parasite』は、テレキネシスとクリケットバット[/b]を駆使して進む[b]SFパズルアドベンチャー[/b]である。 開発は[b]Wrenfall[/b]。スウェーデンに拠点を置く小規模スタジオで、[b]本作がデビュー作[/b]となる。 [b]日本語対応済み[/b]で、プレイに支障はまったくない。 [b]Co-opモードもあり[/b]、協力して進められるステージもあるようだが、[b]本レビューはシングルプレイの体験のみで書かれている[/b]。 [hr] [h1]ストーリー[/h1] 主人公は宇宙船で銀河を探査し、[b]人類の宇宙知識の拡張と資源採掘[/b]を目的に送り込まれた[b]調査探検要員[/b]である。 とある惑星に[b]貴重な金属が大量に存在する[/b]ことがスキャンで判明し、主人公は単独でシャトルに乗り降下して探索を開始する。 しかし、そこで発見されたのは[b]未知の文明の遺跡[/b]だった。 その調査は、当然ながら[b]続行されることになる[/b]。 [hr] [h1]プレイ内容[/h1] 本作は[b]主観視点の3D空間[/b]でパズルを解いていく内容となっている。 基本的な解法は、[b]クリケットバット[/b]を使って登場する[b]エネルギーボールを打ち、所定の位置にはめ込む[/b]というものだ。 ステージを進めるにつれ、このエネルギーボールには[b]複数の種類[/b]が登場し、それぞれが固有の特性を持つようになる。 そのため、初期のように「ただ打てば解ける」単純なものではなくなり、[b]複数のボールの特性を組み合わせて解法を導く[/b]必要が出てくる。 さらに、プレイヤーには[b]テレキネシス能力[/b]も備わっており、これを使ってボールを[b]自分の方へ引き寄せる[/b]ことも可能だ。 大まかには、こうした多様なギミックを用いた[b]パズルを解きながらステージを進行していく[/b]のが本作のゲームプレイとなる。 [hr] [h1]総評[/h1] 本作は、[b]Portalシリーズの影響を受けた3D空間パズル[/b]として制作されているようだ。主観視点で進めていくという点にも、その影響を確かに感じる。 ただし、ステージ冒頭に登場するわずかなセリフには、[b]一般的な日本人には理解しづらいジョーク[/b]や、[b]SF作品に詳しくないと伝わりにくいネタ[/b]も含まれていそうだ。 演出自体も非常にシンプルであるため、[b]Portalシリーズのような劇的な演出や物語性を期待する作品ではない[/b]。あくまで[b]3D空間パズルの愛好者向け[/b]であり、全体としては[b]非常にシンプルな構成[/b]となっている。 個人的には、[b]スタジオの処女作としてパズルの完成度は悪くない[/b]と感じた。一方で、ステージが進むにつれて難度が上がる傾向はあるものの、[b]その難易度調整にはやや粗さがある[/b]のも確かだ。 総じて、[b]3D空間パズルを純粋に楽しみたいゲーマーにはおすすめ[/b]できる作品である。逆に、[b]Portalシリーズのような演出や物語性を求める層には向かない[/b]。 しかし、シンプルにパズルを解くこと自体を楽しみたいプレイヤーにとっては、[b]価格分の満足感は十分に得られる[/b]だろう。 [hr] [h1]長所[/h1] [list] [*][b]日本語対応で問題なくプレイ可能[/b] [*][b]丁寧につくられた3D空間パズル[/b] [*][b]ステージ進行に伴い解法が増えていく仕様[/b] [/list] [h1]短所[/h1] [list] [*][b]シンプル過ぎて物語性が希薄[/b] [/list] [hr] [quote]Steamキュレーター[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33120141-%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9F%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%83%81%E3%83%A3%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%83%89/]ゲーミングチャイルド[/url]では、近日発売予定のゲームの一口紹介を、あなたのアクティビティに毎日お屆けします。ぜひフォローしてください。[/quote]
FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm the composer for this game. That said, I played through the single-player campaign before I made the music. I loved it enough to come on board for the last stretch of development! You can also see I've put in a solid # of hours :D Even after finishing the game, I've enjoyed going back for the achievements, or even just to find more interesting or efficient puzzle solutions. I feel like this is an instant recommend for fans of Portal, and really anyone who enjoys logic puzzles. Or whacking things with a bat. The mechanics are very satisfying, and few things feel better than sinking an orb right into the middle of a goal after figuring out a solution.
Really cool and well crafted puzzle game, time flew away. Portal but with a cricket bat, love it!
Really enjoyed playing through the single player campaign. Cozy, chill vibe with fun puzzles. Feels like it started out easy, but some levels took me quite a while to figure out. I think the voice acting was really good and the story was alright. I was suprised how fun it was to solve the puzzles with a... cricket bat. It's just so satisfying to smack around the orbs and once in a while score the perfect hit. Haven't finished the co-op campaign, yet, but having a blast so far! Very different from playing solo. Really wished my friend could read my mind :D
I didn't think Puzzle games was for me but this one has some cool mechanics! OK story and awesome level design. Every map gets just the right amount of extra difficulty. Playing with a good friend in COOP made for tons of laughter. The COOP part doesn't contain any of the story which is the right decision. You wont spoil anything. It's a different experience. 10/10 highly recommend!
I've played this now fod approx 10hours or so, still haven't gone through the co-op campain. I keep finding myself replaying old levels over and over to see if I can find better/faster solutions to the levels. It's a wonderfully made game, I really enjoy the cozy feeling of the game. Perfect game to sit down in the couch, at the pc or really anywhere to just chill for a while, listen to the great music and solve some puzzles. Everyone that enjoy puzzle games will absolutely love this game. The story as far as I've played it is very well written and I'm very much looking forward to how it's gonna turn out. Great game, good value, very good time!
Lovely chill game where you solve tricky puzzles. Some of them you really have to think long and hard, making it very rewarding once you figure them out. Definitely recommend this game if you like to give your brain a bit of a workout!
I'm having a lot of fun with this! 25 levels in and I'm yet to see any repetition so far every level provided a new challenge. I'm very curious what a mayhem it'll be with all the ballz :D
Great puzzle game with innovative, yet comfortable puzzle mechanics and a stellar level design to support them. Many great brain teasers and moments to (finally) feel really smart. Really cool that this is playable in co-op as well!
I love the lowkey feeling of the game, the mood and the music. It's the perfect kind of game to sit back with when you need to relax. I enjoyed the puzzles, but mostly I love shooting and pulling the balls around. It's really satisfying to fire a perfect curve and get the ball to land exactly where you want.
