The Hanged Man

An enjoyable, story heavy game. I nice conclusion to the series

I have mixed opinions about this game, but overall I recommend it. I think it is a good way to wrap up the series, and that it tied everything well together, especially with the direct correlations to things important in the first game's plot. I really enjoyed Will's character and I think he is well though off and written. I enjoyed the feature to skip longer scenes when replaying (this feature was added in the previous game) and I think the bonus stuff this time around was great. NOW, however, what bothered me the most is the gameplay. The puzzles are not intuitive at all and have you walking around all the time, triggering scenes and trying to progress. At certain points you may even have to really backtrack because you missed something that you need. I fail to understand why you would make essential things for progress so missable. The gameplay felt like a drag and at some point I just wanted to drop the game. It was not enjoyable at all. I had to check the guide all the time, and that is no way to enjoy a game. I think it is worth it because of the setting, the characters and the plot, but gameplay was really bad in my opinion. If this was a game on its own, and not the ending to a longer series, I probably would not recommend it. I also struggled to really understand who exactly The Hanged Man really is, because the story does not focus too much on him exactly but rather on the idea of him.

Удивительно, что 2я хорошая концовка переменила моё мнение об игре. Хотел не рекомендовать, но всё же она поставила некую точку в истории. Я не знал о чём игра. Трейлер меняя обманул: снега и леса занимают 5% игры. По своей сути это история как в The Crooked Man, но не с несколькими локациями, а одной, но разделённой на корпуса. Также это закольцованная история - если без спойлеров, то у протагониста этой игры много схожего с Дэвидом, протагонистом первой игры. Атмосфера и идея хороши, но головоломки, скрипты и прочее не пугают. Психбольница или убежище для бездомных могло дать такой психологический прессинг, что The Hanged Man стала бы любимой игрой серии у многих. Но автор не дожал, увы. Также не понятно зачем важные сюжетные катсцены убрали во второе прохождение. Одна катсцена действительно немного портит одну плохую концовку, но можно было улучшить мотивацию героя и оставить все катсцены для одного прохождения. Повешенный... этим символом сквозит вся игра, но выглядит как притягивание за уши, чтобы был странный человек по канону серии. Влияние его так мало, что не понимаешь зачем оно нужно. Истории пациентов тоже не восхитили: они воспринимаются как загадки, которые лишь бы решить поскорее и всё. Здесь не хватило эмоционального вовлечения как хотя бы в Mad Father с мини-историями умерших жертв отца-психопата. Но за этим я не понимаю гонений на озвучку. Да, не профессионалы и да, у кого-то микрофон из самых дешёвых, но по большей части голоса хороши, да и делалось это на энтузиазме! Всегда можно играть без озвучки, если режет слух. И по итогу мне грустно прощаться с серией. Даже Boogie Man мне попал в сердце тем, каким бесчеловечным может быть протагонист. Заметно как повествование просело, но есть и хорошее, которое не смогли развить. Я буду скучать по серии, хочется думать, что ремейки возможны и они будут тогда, когда будет возможно им стать окупаемыми. Спасибо Uri, это было чудесно. Мне всё ещё не хватает чего-то, подобного Paranoic. THM должна была стать продолжателем её, как я видел в процессе и вижу сейчас эту игру. Но спасибо, всё равно эти игры часть меня. Боль, которую нужно нести.

THIS BIH TURNED INTO JOHN WICK REAL QUICK

This game was easier to get through than "The Boogie Man", as the puzzle wasn't as difficult. The setting of this game is eerie, and it creeps you out a bit. To get the real good ending, you have to play through a 2nd run, so you could spend some time on this entry. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it's story and the characters that played in it's plot

Objectively, I think I'd say this is as good as The Crooked Man, which is the best game in the saga. So right off the bat we've already improved on the last two games and got back to where we started, which is nice. Not to diss the other two games, they're still good, but this was an improvement. The gameplay is...nothing special. It's the same as the last few, walk around, watch cutscenes, solve puzzles, maybe get into a chase or two...you know the drill, but that's not why we're here. The story on the other hand is quite beautiful. I like how they incorporated the past protagonists into this game, it feels very smoothly done. I also like all the new characters they've added as well. It's quite touching, and feels just as cheesy as TCM (which is a good thing imo, I like that these games feel like an anime movie). I'd also recommend playing with VAs on, as while they aren't professionals, they do add a lot to the story. The only reason I'd put TCM above this game is that it connected with me more. TCM moved me to tears, this story was just an overall great story. But comparison is the thief of joy, so forget I ever said anything. But yeah, recommended.

They saved the best for last.

罗伯特真该死啊

Os puzzles são bem pouco intuitivos, sendo que eu tive que olhar um guia pra maioria deles e mesmo assim raramente conseguia ver qual era o sentido pra tentar resolver sozinha (como eu ia adivinhar que precisava olhar pra foto de uma moça aleatória umas 4 vezes pra progredir no jogo???), isso deixa o jogo extremamente entediante, principalmente se levar em conta que a maioria das salas não tem nada de útil então você precisaria entrar sala por sala na esperança de achar alguma coisa que te ajude a avançar no jogo (e o hospital é enorme, o que deixa a tarefa mais maçante ainda), e então quando acha alguma coisa, dá toda a volta e chega no problema dos puzzles serem bem... nada ver. Sinceramente, larguei, não deu vontade de jogar até o final, até estava achando interessante alguns pontos da história, mas num geral é tudo pouco cativante então me faz sentir que eu não tô perdendo muito por não finalizar o jogo.

Serideki oynadığım en uzun oyunun the boogie man olarak kalacağını zannediyordum ama bu oyun daha da aştı FAKAT sürükleyicilik olarak the hanged man boogie man'den daha iyiydi. Serinin son oyunu her şeyi çok güzel bağlamış yine güzel ve saran bir hikayesi vardı. Her şeyin tatlıya bağlanması, diğer karakterlerin hikayeleri filan da anlatılıyor. [spoiler] özellikle David'in hikayesinin daha da derinliklerine iniyoruz [/spoiler] bir de benimle aynı düşünen var mı merak ediyorum ama [spoiler] Ed Fareler ve İnsanlar'dan Lennin'e benziyor [/spoiler] iki oyun daha yapım aşamasındaymış bu seriyle alakalı galiba ama yeni karakter değil şu ana kadar tanıştıklarımıza ekstra hikaye gibi olacakmış.
