About
This DLC follows the ending where Jan Scientist stays on the planet. Average playtime is estimated at 20 hours.
Jan Scientist can finally pursue his true calling. While other Jans left, he stayed to lead a team of new specialists - assembled by and from himself. Only a scientific crew of perfectly aligned altered Jan Scientists can offer the expertise needed to unravel the Oasis phenomenon.
Studying nature's survival here in space is a life-defining opportunity. However, this goal-oriented plan of the Jan Scientists might not be so apparent to Jan Geologist, Biologist, Chemist, or Physicist.
The Oasis, a lush paradise that shouldn't exist, becomes the mystery you will obsessively try to solve.
Terraforming the nine arenas unlocks it, forcing the landscape to yield answers. But with each seemingly right step on a research path, the planet responds with implacable earthquakes and radiation, hinting at secrets best left undiscovered.
Your biggest hurdle? Years-long planetary cycles of scorching sunrises that force you underground. Setting a functional underground base requires building in varied soils, constructing new components, and researching modules like the Cryosleep Chamber, which buys time to witness your scientific actions' long-term effects.
Still, even in cryo-slumber, increasingly vicious cycles wear down your crew’s readiness to work.
Each planetary cooldown offers a brief window to freely explore a dramatically changed surface.
Terraformed landscape opens new building possibilities, spawns bonus-providing pickables, and lets you evolve your research-essential technology by extracting and refining new planetary resources. Specialised structures further let you transform, combine, and amplify what you gather.
Field Labs introduce new assignments for alters to continue their work while you cryosleep. But will they change once faced with the vulnerability of ageing?

Good: New environment, storyline, continuation of the main story and closure to it, cool new mining mechanism with a puzzle nature. New ideas on the table that might change the fate of the universe. 11 bit still knows how to keep the player at the edge of seat and keep playing. Bad: ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ending to the story, conventional hollywood bad and depressed ending that renders the player's journey in this DLC completely pointless, you play for nothing, the alters universe deserved a happy ending even if they are discontinuing this IP. Hopefully we get more context to the decision of this ending.
This DLC is definitely worth the price, especially for the number of hours the DLC is expected to have [roughly 20 hours at least]. I've put in a good few hours already on release day and I feel like I've only scratched the surface of the expansion. I'm so excited to see Jan Scientist's deeper story and his exploration. There are new mechanics and technology for the world exploration/resource gathering aspect that work very well with the new enivornment you're put into. The Oasis works differently and therefore so does the technology required to maintain it. 11bit studios has kept the core aspects/mechanics from the base game, but also added much variety to the gameplay that makes it still very enjoyable and also fresh. The new alters also have their own backstory and personality. I personally recommend this DLC if you enjoyed The Alters base game and want more Jan content - 'cause what can be better than making even more Jans? :D
По содержанию это именно то DLC, о котором мечтаешь на момент завершения основной игры. Было очень приятно снова вернуться к этому миру. Полное прохождение заняло 17 часов на средней сложности. Как же хочется DLC к этому DLC
This DLC took me 16 hours to finish and it was very relaxed and easy, even on the hardest difficulty. (I don't think the Jans even can revolt here) I do wish they went a little more in depth with some of the story elements but it's still a great continuation of the base game
2 saatlik oynamama göre şunu söyleyebilirim: Ana oyunu bayıla bayıla oynadıysanız hiç düşünmeden buna geçebilirsiniz. Oyunda sizi doyuracak kadar yenilikler var ama ana oyunda olduğu gibi temel gidişat aynı olduğu için ana oyunu fazla sevmediyseniz biraz ara vererek bu dlc ye başlayabilirsiniz. Bunu yazarken oyunda yüksek grafik ayarlarında oynarken bazen fps drop yiyorum bir kaç patch e düzeltirler gibime geliyor. Ana oyunu tam bitirmeden direkt dlc ye geçmeyin bazı şeyler havada kalabiliyor. Temel mekanikler aynı yenilikler ekleyerek oyunu yapmışlar. Güzelde yapmışlar geniş ve yaratıcı bir dlc oynadığınızı hissediyorsunuz. Çok düşünmeden alın oynayın
Finished the DLC in about 15 hours. It's a good addition to the game and I enjoyed it. But it's not as engaging as the main game and I felt that all the social conflicts were too forced here. Only recommended for those who really loved the main game and want more story. The gameplay itself is the same as you know and you have to re-progress through some of the tech.
I loved the beginning and the end of this DLC. The middle had a lot less interesting interactions with the Alters than the main game, which was absolutely a detriment. I was surprised when the achievement for finishing all storylines popped up so soon. [spoiler] Jan Physicist just started getting along with Cathy again and doesn't have ANYTHING to say when JanBot deletes her? It felt unfinished. [/spoiler] Some systems should have been explained a lot better too, I thought the device to speed up time worked as long as a pipe ran through the bubble of time, but no, you have to connect the hose to the device, so these were a waste of resources for me. However, the rest was great. I've only seen people online who disliked the ending, but I LOVED the ending! Spoilers ahead. [spoiler]I thought it was bold to make a such a nuclear decision. It took me a bit of time to get over not being the original Jan Scientist, but being 319?! What a twist. I played out both ends and I liked both, really liked seeing Jan S. outside without his suit though at the very end. When I interacted with the console that revealed the base went down further, my jaw literally dropped. So good![/spoiler] I really hope people who worked on this game and the DLC were not part of the layoffs at 11 bit studios that happened this week. Games industry seems an incredibly rough place to work right now. This game will live rent free in my head for a while, shame it didn't get more popular, too.
От длц совсем смешанные чувства. Я бы сказал, что очень душное развитие в игре. С одной стороны, игра теперь тебя никуда не торопит, я думал, что это будет плюс, но оказалось, что нет. После каждого нового цикла нужно теперь возводить постройки заново, очень много беготни пустой туда-сюда, прямо скучно. В основой истории хотя бы бегать каждый раз нужно было по новым локациям. Сюжет - ну так, ничего особенного, по сравнению с оригинальной историей. Альтеры - просто боты для добычи ресурсов, тем более надоедливые и капризные, с ними не интересно возиться. Ну в принципе это объясняется лором - ученый с СДВГ сам себя размножил... Терраформинг - это даже не новая механика, просто меняет скин каменистой местности на зеленую, вырастет пару деревьев и все. Вылеты с ошибками UE5 довольно частые, после выхода из игры всегда выскакивает. Пока нет никакого желания продолжать играть. Хотя первая часть прямо на ура зашла.
К сожалению я расстроен дополнением. Сравнивая с основной сюжеткой, здесь совсем сыро получилось. Не хватило раскрытия персонажей. У меня как будто сюжет даже немного поломался. Ботаник пропал и на этом все, у геолога как будто остались незакрытые гештальты, хотя я его последним отпустил... Так же перемудрили с трубами и жидкостями. Ну и багов тут прилично. Телепорты в текстуры, аномалии проходящие сквозь землю, радиационные удары внутри базы, когда радфильтры еще есть... Проблема дополнения в том, что оно какое-то пустое. Можно просто соединить начальную катсцену с финалкой и ты блин ничего особо не пропустишь ._. P.S. Так же имейте ввиду что здесь плохая оптимизация, особенно аномалии жутко сжирают фпс
ИСТОРИЯ О ТОМ, ЧТО ИНОГДА НУЖНО ОСТАНОВИТСЯ Редко когда длс идут наравне с оригинальной игрой, а чтоб они ещё её и превосходили - это вообще единичные случае. И я не буду томить. Последняя Переменная - это как раз тот случай, когда дополнение превзошло оригинал. Начиная от интересной завязки, где мы просыпаемся перед Яном Учёным и понимаем, что ныне мы Альтер, и продолжая развитием истории и геймплея. Говоря о первом, игра всё также пестрит разнообразными историями 4 других альтеров, что мы можем создать, они оказались крайне интересными. Да и основная история, что теперь научная фантастика - гг пытается понять, как работает и существует загадочный оазис, попутно решая житейские проблемы. Геймплейно же, луп остался тот же, но к нему добавились линейки производства новых материалов, где вам придётся знатно так поломать голову над решением тех или иных задач. Ну и... Время. Как вы, как игрок, тратите кучу времени на постройку, исследование и сбор, так и в игре время летит, ведь из-за светового дня, наши альтеры отправляются в криосон, а снаружи иногда приходится кого-то оставлять и не один раз, э-э-э... Не, не буду спойлерить ещё сильнее. Но поверьте, как развитие, так и неожиданный твист в конце - это абсолют синема. Я даже рад, что игра получила такой эпилог про судьбу Яна Учёного, в конце концов, только про него-то и недосказанность была, хотя, конечно, старых персов не хватает. От момента с записью я вообще всплакнул, так что имейте это ввиду. Если не играли в оригинальную игру, то обязательно играйте и потом сразу залетайте в длс. А для тех же, кто играл в ориг - вас ждёт ещё 20 часов геймплея потрясающей игры!
