Way too reliant on random keywords to actually be any fun or feel like you're solving a puzzle.
在文字中找线索的游戏。如果沉下心来,一点点把家族树填满还是挺有成就感的,但是急躁的话负反馈就很多。 最好用英文玩吧,虽然我自己是用中文的,就发现用中文有些不好的地方。 一是仍然需要一定的英文姓名的常识,比如看音译能联想到英文名是什么、缩写是什么、缩略昵称是什么等等。比如全名尼古拉斯有可能缩略成尼克,安洁莉卡缩略成安吉,不仅短了连字都变了,在游戏中很多时候需要搜索好几种版本的名字才可能出来线索。这点看多了美剧英剧应该都可以轻松拿捏。 二是线索中基本上是名在前姓在后,符合英文姓名习惯,但在家族树中却用中文习惯,姓在前名在后,造成填入名字时有可能因为顺序不对而检索不到,误以为没有这个答案。两边姓名顺序不统一影响游戏体验。 以上问题也不算太大。能静下心玩的可以考虑入手
9/10 Super fun deduction/logic puzzle game where you piece together a massive family tree using evidence like photos, news articles, and books. It features an internal search engine (like [i]Her Story[/i]) which you can use to surf the web for information on the Roottree dynasty. It's like Ancestry.com before private equity rolled in. Similar to [i]Return of the Obra Dinn[/i], the game won't verify your answers immediately. Only once you solve 3 new identities will it "lock in" those 3 people. This makes brute-forcing very difficult, and forces you to actually know the answers. On top of the amazing detective gameplay (like [i]Case of the Golden Idol[/i]), the mystery is compelling and the characters are wacky and fun. The Roottrees are Pennsylvania chocolate barons, going back 5 generations. It provides a sense of history across the entire 20th century, albeit from an upper-class white perspective. But every family member has their own story, which is slowly revealed as you scour the databases for clues. Definitely one of my favorite deduction games, up there with Obra Dinn and Golden Idol. There aren't a ton of games that can strike this delicate balance of challenge and fun, and this one does it well.
本体和鲁特里狂热都打完了,虽然游戏还算是好玩,但是。。。 很显然作者想要做一款推理家谱的游戏,但是本体关于为什么要推理家谱的剧情衔接并没有做好,玩到最后我都并没有感觉到我有什么非得去推家谱的理由。而且剧情和鲁特里三姐妹一家毫无关系,有一些评论说鲁特里一家白死了,很可笑很也很有道理。倒不是说我做这件事情就毫无动力,但是我的动力完全是来源于解谜本身,而不是真的有什么理由。以至于打完以后觉得很困惑,不知道自己做这些到底干什么,就好像玩了一局扫雷一样单纯地为了解谜而解谜。 DLC调查婚外情、确认谁是真正的血亲,倒是让我的确有一种“干这个事情有意义”的感觉。但是,DLC的逻辑性却低于本体。我玩本体的时候觉得逻辑非常严谨,只有一两个地方我觉得是不太合理的,而且几乎没有卡关,很容易判断哪些信息有价值。但是DLC里有很多过于隐晦、看上去完全是废话的线索,以及不够严谨的逻辑推理。因为可能性说得通,所以这个人就一定是私生子?但是其他的可能性明明也很多啊?不是私生子的可能性大部分都不能完全排除,反正看到DNA鉴定前我是什么也不会说的。不过你就算打问号游戏也会给你通关就是了。然后DLC用了很多的英文名昵称,中文使用者根本搞不清楚什么名字的昵称是什么,增加了推理的难度。总之推理的体验并没有本体丝滑流畅、逻辑严密。 但是总体而言玩法非常有趣,推荐喜欢推理的人尝试,希望能看到更多类似玩法的优秀游戏。
An absolute masterpiece for deduction fans. If you love Return of the Obra Dinn or The Case of the Golden Idol, buy this immediately. The game drops you into a beautifully simulated late-’90s desktop with a 56k dial-up search engine and tasks you with parsing a massive, tragic family tree. It treats your intelligence with complete respect, offering zero hand-holding while delivering incredibly satisfying "aha!" moments. The remaster's gorgeous hand-drawn art, polished UI, and brilliant new post-game chapter make an already incredible puzzle game perfect. Grab a real-life notebook, dive in, and get ready to be completely obsessed. 10/10
好玩,但是dlc玩的人眼前一黑,难度直线上升了,出轨的这群b真是罪大恶极啊
家庭伦理大剧,没有一位热爱八卦+善于信息检索的人会不喜欢这个游戏。 在本地化已经使出浑身解数的基础上,很可惜的是仍然有诸多谜题受限于语言,导致距离顶尖棋差一招。 无所谓,小黄鸭会出手。
推理的过程很有趣! 狂热比起本家来有些枯燥,辨认是否确认是私生子的环节可以说绞尽我的脑汁了。 没有劳伦这个游戏得散,两本书贯穿始终的含金量。 关于五味糖首字母的各种暗示,看得出来汉化组已经尽力了,不过在中文语境下还是挺绕的…… 不看提示,自己找到某个线索打通谜题的时候,爽到天灵感,大彻大悟的感觉很令人着迷。 数独给我做力竭了,ui但凡做得好一些,理解起来也能更方便。 有对于女性继承家业还有同性恋相关的探讨,好评。从一开始,一代总裁就是靠结婚发家的,而格温妮丝只有靠结婚才能继承农场,这个家族的基调从一开始就定下了。
夯,夯在不把你当宝宝,线索确实需要你一点点去挖,买之前看评测说就是看细节的游戏说一般,可是推理不就是玩的这个吗,通过各种细节再根据现有的线索推断出结果。此游夯在适度的引导和不局限的思路,各种app的使用加上史官角色给的核心重要线索以血缘为核心理清楚家族脉络。建议玩的时候笔记开页以每个小家(?)为一页思路会清晰很多,笔记也很好用,很少需要你去现实用纸笔记录什么。纯做题推理,制作组也会玩一些冷笑话让你看着不那么累,文本多信息量大废话很少,纯粹的大脑烧着动脑子的好游戏,原价买都值
Tentative recommend if you are a big puzzle / detective game aficionado. Gameplay is fun (although a bit too exact at times and unforgiving if you happen to miss a bit of text that turns out to vital to your search), and the actual art and music and voice acting is great, but some of the UI and overall feel are like old school flash games and not in a good way. I'll definitely finish this eventually, but it requires a lot of focus so it isn't something you can just pick up whenever. And since it isn't very pretty to look at it I sometimes lose focus not gonna lie.
