Was gibt es da viel zu sagen: Ein absolut Klasse Spiel zum Entspannen! Ich nutze das Aquarium am Zweitbildschirm als Ruhezone und genieße so meinen Feierabend und auch die arbeiten viel viel besser als ohne. Es passt einfach supergut! Ich kann es definitiv empfehlen
Merhaba ,ne zaman indirime girer acaba almak istiyorum...
had niet verwacht dat dit zo ongelooflijk mooi zou zijn, alles heel realistisch, bijvoorbeeld een schildpad die met zijn hoofd boven water komt, vissen die op elkaar reageren en hoe ze overal voorbij zwemmen echt heel mooi gedaan, en planten passen zich aan aan bijvoorbeeld een rots of tak, het glas wordt ook realistisch vies.. en ik heb niet eens een hele moderne computer met een dure grafische kaart
I've bought this after having to give up on my childhood dream of having an aquarium, since reality turned out to be harsher than I imagined and my teenage self couldn't take it anymore after a few years. It's been healing. It's not the same, fish are not actually moving and especially behaving like the real ones, but if you're not familiar with the species, you won't be able to tell. I am and I miss my real fish, but here they can't die, be eaten (unless you enable it), starve themselves to death even though you are trying everything to get the food in front of their faces or fell for an ilness that's literally mold eating them alive while you can't bring yourself to end their suffering. You don't have to clean up half-eaten bodies, clean the filter every week even when you are too tired, deal with algae that grow everywhere and nothing you are trying helps, or plants that are constantly getting digged up by some of the fish just because they want to. It may be merely a simulation, but at least it's actually relaxing. Also it looks amazing, while managing to run on my laptop with integrated graphics without any problems. In general I really recommend it if: - you want to relax - you'd like to design aquariums (although the choice of decorations is rather limited, there's still a lot you may come up with) - you'd like to experiment with recoloring and mixing species of fish (practically endless possibilities) - you can't afford a real aquarium - you are a sensitive person that would get really attached to fish or be disgusted by the residue that has to be cleaned - your child wants to have an aquarium I wouldn't buy it for gameplay though, even the cleaning of the glass is done just by clicking a button and you can't breed your fish, it's quite boring when you want to do anything besides designing and watching. Unless you are a nerd fascinated by water chemistry and keeping everything just in the right balance - then it's probably the most realistic simulator out there (I had no idea there even is so many factors you should take into account; maybe things would turn out differently if I did, but maybe not, it is just really difficult to create an artificial ecosystem in such a relatively small box).
This is the best aquarium design game in the store right now. Just take a look at the workshop at what the community have made. There are moments that are absolutely photorealistic. These stills don't do justice to the motion of the fish, however, which are the most lifelike of any game in this niche. Watching your betta fish randomly assault your school of corydoras, or how they all scramble when you drop in some food...these are much more than just cardboard cutouts of fish hastily slapped in as decorations. This is the first of these sims that I've played where I could easily replicate my own freshwater tanks from home, from the decorations, plants, substrates, down to making custom crossbreeds of fish to get ones that looked like my own. I have a tank in-game that houses replicas of all the fish that have passed away in our fishroom in the last three years, and it serves as a potent reminder of the lessons I've learned in the hobby the hard way, and the great friendships our family has shared. This wouldn't be possible if the tools were complicated or obtuse, or there weren't enough variations of decor and species to choose from. I don't play these games to simulate water parameters and turn the tank into a tamagotchi or idler game. I haven't tried any of the systems in this title to replicate those aspects, so it may be a blind spot of this recommendation if they don't deliver in the same way as the design elements. For me, it's all about designing a great aquascape, populating it with the right community of fish, and turning the whole thing into a living wallpaper and letting it shine. The different camera modes and '2d' mode make this game into eye candy and give a real sense of accomplishment when a build is finished. You can get everything for about 20 bucks, so cheap for the goods this game delivers, I absolutely recommend this game especially on a sale. Thanks for reading!
グラフィックは綺麗なのだが、実際の魚の行動が全く再現されておらず、なんか違うなーと違和感しか感じない。もう少しそれっぽい動きを再現してほしい。
