VirtuaVerse

The soundtrack kicks ass and the story has the fun B-movie energy of a Carpenter film. If you like cyberpunk and don't mind the adventure game format, you'll have fun with this. [hr][/hr] I was reminded of Norco a little bit due to some overlapping themes and [spoiler]the top-down boat section towards the end[/spoiler]. Not quite as atmospheric as Norco though. Unfortunately the puzzles have a really weird progression. They go from perfectly fine classic adventure game puzzles to funnybad to badbad/tedious which really hurts the pacing during the climax (special mention to [spoiler]the fruit in the plant's mouth only being grabbable if you have unchipped yourself even though you can already see it and having to exhaust the robot's dialog before you can unchip yourself[/spoiler]). You better have a walkthrough ready or try the story mode difficulty.

at least I enjoyed the fun with some alien chick and a grandpa

Lo compré sin ninguna expectativa clara de lo que iba el juego, me gustó muchísimo. Es cine 🚬

Great game, love the retro vibes!

Los puzzles no son nada intuibles, de echo, he tenido que jugar mientras miraba una guía, porque no sabía en ningun momento que hacer. La historia es mediocre y los personajes hablan muchísimo de cosas poco interesantes o se enrrollan mas de lo que deberían.

个人其实觉得这款游戏的美术和剧情相当不错，整体体验下来很有观赏了一部科幻电影的感觉。 作为一款像素游戏，能够呈现出这样一种“虚拟科幻”与现实间来回切换、以达同一场景不同的两者对比的效果，美术上着实很用心，因此带给了玩家一种很新颖的视觉与操作体验。而剧情中无论主角或是npc，从对话、生活行为所体现的状态，也确确实实呈现出了“朋克”的态度，说实话市面上以所谓“赛博朋克”为卖点的作品不少，但这款我觉得是在有限资源下很好的诠释了这一题材灵魂的作品。另外，我认为游戏的剧情节奏把控其实恰到好处，作为篇幅较长的故事展开，游戏在剧情中后期逐渐展现的科幻恐怖，也是将故事发展从“幽你一默”不断推向带有悬疑意味的新的高点，我个人十分喜欢这样的变化。 不过不足的地方也正如很多评论中所提到的，在剧情解谜流程推进上，有很多设计缺乏从玩家角度的考虑，有些过于开发者思维，并且提示又太少，导致玩家即使在不同场景间来回搜集信息、道具可能也难以推导出下一步该如何操作，如果选择完全不参考攻略，想要独立推进游戏剧情的难度实在太大。 当然，从我个人角度而言，整体上这是一款很不错的作品！
