The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

De beaux paysages et une bonne expérience de gameplay cependant (avec toutefois des malus à certains moments du jeu), je n'ai pas du tout accroché à l'histoire qui ne me paraissait pas crédible par rapport aux évènements. Je suis restée un peu sur ma fin.

Смешанные впечатления. Побродил, посмотрел, подумал и понял что для меня данное произвеение не стало игрой, развлечением.

I played it back in 2016, Very enticing story and beautiful atomsphere and graphics. great game to get.

This is really interesting game with really good and well told story, graphics are really good, did not found any issues or bugs. So far sounds good, tho, there is always something negative, and in this game case its the beginning - at the start of the game you literally feel lost, then after some time you will find a body and still have no clue what to do, so try to go further and will find more bodies and still no clue what to do... In other words i got lost and had to find walkthrough to even understand what to do and how this game works. However after all disappointing start game amazed me, its really good walking simulator. Overall rating 8/10 For achievement hunters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-lD8QpMIqg&ab_channel=Maka91Productions

Эта игра максимально близка по духу к [u]Dear Esther[/u]. Во главе угла стоят повествование и атмосфера. С этим Ethan Carter справляется великолепно, хотя сюжет не так сложен, зато в нём заложены различные метафоры и посылы, которые будет интересно раскрывать. Визуал достоин отдельной похвалы, пейзажи смотрятся прекрасно. В целом создаётся ощущение сказочности от всей картинки, что сочетается с сюжетом и играет на руку возрасту игры. Единственный существенный минус — это производительность. Из-за особенности движка игра будет фризить почти на любом железе. Возможно Redux версия не имеет такой проблемы. Проходится игра быстро, и, в отличие от своего вдохновителя, имеет несколько больше механик, чем просто ходьба). Поэтому можно не торопиться, наслаждаться видами c хорошей музыкой, которая их дополняет, думать над сюжетом и простыми головоломками.

It's a calm game with a short, intriguing story. The riddles are alright, and despite of the game not holding yoru hand too much, you'll definitely be able to figure things out. The best part of the game however are the beautiful, realistic landscapes and the music. Apart from a few tense moments, most of the game is really relaxing. You can easily finish this game and all achievements in a few hours, but you'll still need some patience, because you'll walk A LOT. Like, a lot-lot. The ending is a bit lacking imo, and it would be nice if there were different endings to unlock rather than a linear solution to the story. Overall rating: 7/10

[h1] ★★★★★ [/h1] [h2] ~ 5/5 ~ [/h2] [h3] A quiet little mystery that stays with you [/h3] ◆ [b]The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is technically just a walking simulator, but somehow it completely got me.[/b] I can absolutely see why this type of game won't be for everyone, but I genuinely loved my time with it. ◆ Red Creek Valley is the real star of the game. On the surface, it's just a beautiful, peaceful place surrounded by nature, but there's always this feeling that something is wrong. Something is hiding beneath that peaceful surface. Something that Paul Prospero calls [i]"the sleeping evil."[/i] The atmosphere does a fantastic job of making you want to keep exploring just to find out what happened. ◆ The game itself is quite simple, short and linear, and there's not a huge amount of gameplay to speak of. But honestly, I don't think it needed much more. [b]It has a certain charm that's difficult to explain.[/b] The combination of exploration, mystery, atmosphere and that almost dreamlike setting just clicked with me, and I had a genuinely great time playing it. ◆ And the graphics deserve a special mention. For its time, this game looked absolutely beautiful, largely thanks to its use of [b]photogrammetry[/b]. Even today, Red Creek Valley still looks surprisingly good, which makes exploring it a pleasure rather than a chore. ✦ [b]A short, simple and atmospheric game that won't be for everyone, but for me it was something special.[/b] Sometimes you don't need a massive open world, hundreds of quests and 80 hours of content. Sometimes all you need is a quiet valley, a strange mystery and the feeling that something is watching from the woods.

Not as good as Firewatch, Edith Finch or Dear Esther... I recommend playing one of them first. Its not really bad, but i wouldnt recommend it.
