Way of Rhea

《Way of Rhea》是一款不错的逻辑解谜游戏。 本作的核心机制非常简单，主角手持一根法杖，法杖是什么颜色，主角就能操作什么颜色的装置，而不能操作其它颜色的装置，比如开门、开电梯等，抽象之后其实都是运作机制细节稍有不同的“颜色检查”屏障。除此之外，主角还可以捡起关卡中散落的各种颜色的球，并通过将这些球送入特定装置，来将手中的法杖颜色修改为球的颜色。三种颜色（蓝、绿、黄）之间并没有任何本质上的区别，把整个游戏里这些颜色彼此交换或者换成其它颜色组合，在谜题逻辑上也不会产生任何变化。 不过本作也知道这个核心机制很简单，所以也设计了一些其它机制来增加复杂性，比如“传送器”，在一个传送器进行“预备”之后，就可以随时从任何其它传送器传送到这一个。在游戏中途，玩家还会遇到如下三种新机制： 1. 法杖：关卡中有多根法杖，主角可以切换手持法杖； 2. 藤蔓：相当于“电线”，可以使用放在开关上的球打开“电线”连接的对应颜色的门，甚至还有类似《[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/257510/The_Talos_Principle/]塔罗斯的法则[/url]》（The Talos Principle）的[spoiler]“激光冲突”[/spoiler]机制； 3. 队友：这个就比较有意思了，关卡中会有一个能力和主角完全相同，只不过只会自己来回移动的队友。它默认[spoiler]会和它经过的所有可以交互的要素进行交互[/spoiler]，因此可以和几乎所有其它机制进行互动。 至于为什么可以清晰地分出这三种，这是因为本作的结构就是先进行一段教程来教学基础机制，然后开放三个不同的“章节”，分别引入上述的机制之一，最后再在一系列的谜题中将所有这些机制结合起来。 一方面，本作这种逻辑解谜是真的非常传统，很像《塔罗斯的法则》系列这样，解谜基本上就是拿着各种各样的“资源”到处跑，目标通常是把特定的资源运到特定的地方，而且不能卡住的解谜游戏，但是目前还真没想到像是“类推箱”之于所有推箱解谜一样的，能够统一描述这种解谜的名字。另一方面，本作的机制设计确实还挺有意思的，虽然像是“颜色”和“带颜色限制的门”这样的机制看似早就被《[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/470780/She_Remembered_Caterpillars/]She Remembered Caterpillars[/url]》这样的游戏玩过了，但本作还是进行了深入的思考，想出了一套相互之间联系密切的机制集。 就拿颜色球、法杖和门三个机制之间的关系为例： 法杖-门：主角手持法杖可以通过对应颜色的门。 颜色球-门：将颜色球放在开关上，可以打开有藤蔓相连接的对应颜色的门。 法杖-颜色球：将颜色球放入一个特殊装置，可以以消耗这个球的代价，将手持法杖颜色改变为该球的颜色。 可以看出这些机制之间都有独特的联系，而主角可以和所有这些机制进行交互，于是就连带着“队友”这个机制也能和所有这些机制进行交互。说实话，这种多机制间联系的紧密程度是刚开始做解谜游戏的新手很难做到的，所以本作能做到这样，我还是觉得很惊喜的。 本作的谜题设计比较紧凑，这里“紧凑”指每个谜题都有较为清晰的关键矛盾和思考逻辑，我个人在玩的时候并没有发现非预期解。本作和“队友”机制无关的谜题都完全没有实时性，但所有引入了“队友”这个机制的谜题基本上都有实时性，需要玩家和“队友”实时合作才能解开。这一部分谜题虽然有时执行起来有点麻烦，但本作的撤销、加速等设计都缓解了实时性带来的问题，对我来说问题不大。 本作有一个隐藏内容需要玩家[spoiler]从一些特定关卡中“偷”出颜色球[/spoiler]才能解锁，这样的设计理论上还是蛮有意思的，不过在实现上基本都只和特定关卡内最后一个谜题有关，而且有一个具体谜题把关键要素藏在玩家视线之外，让我白想了半个多小时，还是挺无语的。 总的来说，本作是一款很不错的逻辑解谜游戏，机制设计比较有意思，虽然谜题并不全都让我印象深刻，某些谜题之间思路比较大同小异，但本作还是让我有了一段比较有趣的游戏体验。相比本作提供的内容量，我个人感觉定价有点高，不过大家可以自己判断。 结论：[b]推荐[/b]。 [quote]普通玩家一枚，不玩主流网游，少玩3A大作，关注独立精品。不是为了特立独行，只是为了追求自我。 喜欢我的评测？可以关注我的鉴赏家：[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44752532-%25E8%2580%2581%25E8%2588%25B9%25E9%2595%25BFOldCaptain/]老船长OldCaptain[/url]，推荐一些我个人觉得有特点的游戏。[/quote]

Great puzzles and character dialogue

Way of Rhea is a charming puzzle game (with great music and visuals) that has easy to understand mechanics such as switches, doors, and teleporters (as well as some other surprises I won't spoil.) Even though you may have seen these ingredients in many other games, the levels here use them to create clever moments and wonderful puzzles. I definitely recommend it.

Ryan Reynolds voice acting really sold it. His character doesn't show up until like 2 hours in during the boss battle but it was so worth it. I laughed so hard. Like overall the game is pretty good. It has some cute character art, and fun puzzles, I really hate the animation on the doors but otherwise pretty good. Oh and the first level has a pretty tough learning curve. But then the surprise cameo really took me off-guard not sure why there's nothing in the credits or description about it. But Ryan Reynolds killed it I could not stop laughing. I guess maybe it's like a marketing thing? Wtver. Anyway overall good puzzles, nice art, and incredible voice acting. 7/10 would play again.

Excellent puzzle platformer that relies on clever swapping mechanics to get from point A to point B. No jump button to be found. Instead you must think about the correct way to sequence your moves in order to traverse the beautiful animated world. Highly recommend!

I loved this puzzle game. All the characters like shrew and Rhea are so adorable. The animation and noises they make are very cute. The worlds are also challenging making the game worth while. I also love the music and the controls are easy to learn. I definitely recommend giving this game a try.

I played the demo extensively and was waiting for the release! This is a very fun puzzler with a unique art style, good music, and interesting puzzles. While it can be challenging, the undo/redo system never makes it frustrating.

I'm really enjoying Way of Rhea so far! I've almost made it through all the single mechanic puzzles and I'm looking forward to the dual and triple mechanic ones. The game reminds me quite a bit of Braid: high level of polish, simple but challenging puzzle mechanics, easy rewinding to retry/correct mistakes, and a cute story that's drawing me in (though remains to be seen if it will play with my emotions at the end). Definitely worth giving a try if you like puzzle games!

Puzzle games aren't usually my thing, but every now and then one comes out that has a well-engineered progression in which each new challenge is approachable, drawing a foundation of patterns that become tools as you progress through the story. It reminds me a bit of Baba is You in that way, and it also has the following going for it: - Heartwarming story - Awesome soundtrack - A shrew on a bike Looking forward to sinking some more relaxing hours into this one.

Love the music.
