SIMULACRA 3

This game released 3 years ago and I never saw anyone play it or talk about it. After playing it for myself, I can see why. Honestly, the biggest compliment i can give this game is "It's alright." The game still has an interesting mystery to solve like the other ones do but for some reason they really went off the horror with this one. I feel like what made the first Simulacra so good wasn't just the investigating a phone gameplay, it was the horror aspect of it. The jumpscares were good and it genuinely made you uncomfortable with other little details that really added to the experience, and I would say even Pipe Dreams and 2 got this right, but this one was just not scary at all. There was one jumpscare at most and even then it wasn't a good one. If you liked the other Simulacra games for how they made you use your brain to work things out, you might like this game? But if like me, you are looking for decent horror, you should just skip this one because there is absolutely none of it here.

I liked all the Simulacra games I've played so far however, this one bored me to death, like God- all that talking and information, just for what? Nah, not my cup of tea.

I love the other Simulacra games, but I waited a while to play this one because it has mixed reviews. I can understand why now and am disappointed...The game feels rushed. It has typos and the dialogue is poor. Gameplay in terms of finding info and doing puzzles is lame/tedious, and there aren't many puzzles at all. Story and characters are underdeveloped. I was also really disappointed to find your choices don't matter that much throughout the game. There are only a few choices that make any difference in dialogue/outcome, which sucks for a game where 90% of the gameplay is choosing dialogue options. I replayed to get all endings and achievements, but we're talking minor changes between outcomes that make replaying the game basically pointless. Overall, not much actually happens to make the game worth your time. Just skip it if you're a fan of the previous games.

The worst one of all three, there are only a few choices that matter in this game because after you pick something you get the option you didin't pick right after. The characters are not nearly as interesting or funny as the other games and there is no connection between them. You end up replaying the game thrice for 100% completion but in the meantime you just press dialogue options at random and because you only need to get to a certain point it all works out. There is no New game + like the first one so you will have to wait for everyone to type, although luckily they shortened that time a lot. There is only one real jumpscare in the game and it's not very scary at all.

This game in its entirety is 'decent' at best. I like the SIMULACRA games, but I feel like this one was rushed. Cutscenes and acting look and sound worse compared to the other games in the series. Only like 2 jumpscares throughout the ENTIRE game. I had high expectations when playing this game and it was just disappointing. When I say this game felt rushed, I mean the devs probably had less time and a really low budget to work with to at a point where the game doesn't even reach no more than 5 hours of story. The UI felt buggy, almost as if the game was in beta testing. And when coming back to playing this game like a day later, its pretty hard to find where you left off in your last session. I would recommend this game just for the story, cause it was actually pretty good and its probably the only thing that redeems itself compared to the rest of the game. Yes it's short but it's better than Simulacra 1 and Simulacra: Pipe Dreams. Overall Rating: 4.7/10

This game is disappointing. At least the first two games allow the chat prompt to be instant and some extent, skip FMW/cutscenes (well Simulacra 1 did). This one does not even give you the option to speed up the game after completing it. Even the cutscene/FMV were too long, winded and boring. A truly let down game and I refuse to play it again to get all the achievements. It is a huge downgrade from the first two. Either implement skippable option and instant chat function, otherwise, this game is just going to be daunting for people to play.

对比前两代有所退步，包括像快进，加载存档这些功能都没有了，UI也有点卡，不知道是不是模拟手机信号不佳。 不过核心玩法没有变，该有的恐怖悬疑氛围也很浓。推荐给喜欢扮演侦探的解谜玩家。

[b] SIMULACRA 3 - неожиданное продолжение вселенной Симулякры, которое многих, и в том числе меня, попросту разочаровало. [/b] [b] Мне нравится данная вселенная и геймплей в этих играх. [/b] Особенно после 2 части, которая была сделана с огромной работой и душой. Я ожидала получить тоже самое, что и во второй части, ну на крайняк как в первой, но в итоге игра просто как плевок в душу фанатам, а точнее слепок из малого контента в так себе качестве. [b] Сюжет ничем не отличается по своей задумке от других частей. [/b] Единственный плюс, который я хотела бы отметить, это то, что эта часть буквально уже до конца показывает сущность Симулякры, хоть какой-то её мотив и что её саму можно освободить от злых чар. В остальном же мы имеем лишь пару персонажей, совсем немного контента и теперь нам нужно было спасти лишь Руби. Здесь очень скучное повествование, скудно сделана история. Было интересно почитать лишь про сущность Симулякры да и все, остальные диалоги просто вода и мало сути. [b] Геймплей остался таким же, что конечно радует. [/b] Мне нравится такой геймплей и его концепт, выполнено правда хорошо. К сожалению, в этой части все плохо с реализацией...Раньше было много интересных загадок и персонажей, теперь же все не на том, чтобы вы изучили весь телефон жертвы, а просто пару раз покликали, а дальше читаете ТОННУ СООБЩЕНИЙ. Очень не хватило взаимодействий с материалами, не хватило загадок. [b] Звуки, атмосфера..и отсутствие какой-то музыки вообще. [/b] Не хватило напряга, страха и хоть какого-нибудь мрачного сопровождения. Пару раз было страшно при появлении сущности в телефоне, а остальное было очень скудно. Скримеры оказались не страшными. Даже в ответственный момент не было особо напряжения... [b] Таким образом, 3 часть была явно лишней. [/b] Этой частью закончили историю всей сути Симулякры, рассказали нам про неё последние детали, которые мы хотели знать. Это радует, но остальное в плачебном состоянии.. Как будто бы стоило эту часть сделать на уровне 2, потому что там работа над игрой ощущалась очень хорошо. Тут даже персонажи просто....на зеленом фоне, которые иногда не очень хорошо были обработаны. Да и русский язык убрали, что немного странно, когда во 2 части его добавили и причем качественный. В общем, я советую пройти первые две части, а третью не рекомендую к покупке! ❤

good ending on the first playthrough. really underestimated this game. altough it may not be on simulacra 1 and sara is missing level, its still really good

genuinely one of the worst games i've ever played. horrible experience. absolute dogwater. 0/10 EXTERMINATE THIS TITLE.
