18時間でクリア! マトリョーシカで謎を解決していく面白いアイデアゲーム。 日本語化があったけど無くなって今ではまた方法がある???? ちょっと買う前に調べた方が良いと思うんですが、自分は”当時”日本語Mod入れて楽しめました。 動画にようにマトリョーシカによってさまざまなアクションがあるので、それらを駆使して遊んでいく。 不思議な世界でただ動かしるだけでも楽しかったです。 セール時には200円ぐらいなので、”普通”に飽きたら買ってみてもいいかも。
While I like Double Fine's other games, particularly Psychonauts, I really didn't enjoy this. The overall art direction, while as adventurous as you'd expect from Double File, left me cold. Something about having still painted doll faces which "talk" by opening and closing at the waist, coupled with the murky sepia tint and gamma, just didn't work for me. Added to that the cutscenes' silent-movie flicker and fundamental dullness really made them an unpleasant chore to watch, rather than a reward. As many others have said, the puzzles are basic, and the "padding" of trying to do each puzzle multiple ways (each of which is equally simple) didn't engage me. Other reviews forgive this by saying this is a kids game, but I don't think that's the case - silent movie styling is definitely not an obvious kid-oriented choice. The Kirby style underlying mechanic could have had potential and it might actually make a good 2D indie puzzler, but this game's not for me.
It's adorable! Simply experimenting with the different dolls is entertaining on its own, and the way their abilities naturally guide you toward solving puzzles makes the whole experience feel playful and intuitive.
Why would anyone play this game
ya is fun and good memories tied to it. Has your brain connect wires to your surroundings. Sometimes the solutions are tricky but other times, talking to nearby npcs gives you the answer straight up. Game will sometimes freeze on you, but that's usually an indicator that you've been playing for too long and need to go outside. Overall good game, fun mechanics, love the story and the dialogue.
Quando si parla di videogiochi, è raro trovare giochi con premesse veramente originali, e la che sfruttano nel gameplay in maniera effettiva, senza perderla nel farsi; questo gioco invece mi ha stupito, nella creatività di commistionare temi e atmosfere della rivoluzione industriale mille-ottocentesca con la tradizione delle matrioske, condito con quel umorismo auto-referenziale e diretto alla Double Fine. Se avessi un figlio e volessi iniziarlo a videogiochi che lo allenino al problem-solving e all'esplorazione, questo farebbe dannatamente il caso. Cielo, vorrei avercelo avuto come gioco dell'infanzia questo. Anche se tarda, visto che alcuni enigmi avrebbero sconfitto la mia mente della prima infanzia.
Stacking is not the type of game that I would usually recommend, but I think you should at least experience it. Stacking follows Charlie Blackmoore whose family has been taken captive by the evil Baron who enslaves children for work labor. In order to find his family, he needs adventure through different worlds, in order to advance to where his family is being held captive. The storyline is told in silent movie type theater cutscenes, which is an interesting vibe, but it fits perfectly for the type of graphic design and game that this is. The gameplay is where Stacking really makes a unique mark in gaming, though completely unique. Charlie is the smallest of characters in the worlds you will walk around in. Charlies is a Matryoshka doll, the ones that stack into each other from smallest to largest. As you walk around the world, you can jump inside a large doll, eventually allowing you to jump into 5 different sizes of dolls. Each doll type has a unique action that it can take. Some will fart, some will slap, some will scream, and much much more. That is where the puzzle portion comes in. What action do you need in order to pass the puzzles presented to you. The game is actually really small if you think about it. Each world presents about 3-5 different puzzles to solve. If you solve them all at least once, you can finish the level and move on to the next world/level. Or, you can try to find all of the ways in which you can solve the puzzles. Some offer 3 different solutions, while some have 6 varying ways to solve a single puzzle. The game is difficult to find all of the ways, but the game is rather simple in finding at least one way to solve the puzzles since typically the dolls needed to solve the puzzles hang out literally adjacent to where the puzzle is. So it's really up to the player on how long you want to stay around in the game. The graphics aren't great, but they work for the gameplay mechanics and the stacking doll world that it presents. The music is classical and again fits perfectly in the late 1800s early 1900s Baron era and child labor era and it especially works well in the cut-scenes. I found myself not playing through this game the first time I tried it finding it slightly boring and too difficult to find all of the solutions, but after coming back to it and beating the game, figuring out the rest of the solutions was a challenge I was better prepared for. This is not a high recommendation, but definitely I think most puzzle/adventure fans should give this a shot as it offers a unique experience that you most likely won't forget. Plus, it's Double Fine, they make great games and this one is definitely wearing their artful touch for sure.
cheap and fun. What more can you ask for? Want a Matryoshka with gas problems? have it Matryoshka seductress? Hell ya Matryoshka pigeon? yep Matryoshka rat? Matryoshka child dolls doing child labor? OF COURSE So get yours!!
Egy elképesztően egyedi logikai kalandjáték! 8,5/10
Es una obra de arte lo mires por donde lo mires: La dinámica de puzzles con matrioskas es muy original. Hay más de una forma de completar los puzzles. El arte, tanto el grafismo como la música, y la historia están muy bien hechos... Muy recomendable.
