Beyond Contact

Do NOT buy this game! I highly recommend 《The Last Caretaker》 instead. Both are survival-crafting games, but The Last Caretaker doesn't force players to constantly discard items. This game is just disgusting. It uses a strict inventory limit to make you endlessly throw away necessary materials, only to go back and search for them later. The worst part is that the materials you discard are always exactly what you need for crafting. On top of that, it forces you to constantly dig and gather just to annoy you with an extremely limited number of inventory slots. The data system is equally frustrating. Each resource has 2-3 different data types. Even if you've unlocked a blueprint, having the physical materials isn't enough; you still need the specific "data." It’s clearly just a disgusting mechanic designed to artificially drag out the playtime. A 4-slot backpack and a 6-slot chest are enough to drive anyone crazy. The Last Caretaker doesn't use inventory limits or data to gatekeep your progress. Once you unlock something, you can just craft it without jumping through hoops. In this game, 2 hours of gathering can easily sustain 6-7 hours of actual progress. Furthermore, The Last Caretaker has superior level design, world-building, and creative gameplay. I've put 300 hours into it over two weeks. The non-repetitive level design and mechanics make every gathering session feel meaningful. It never maliciously stalls your progress with annoying mechanics, which is something this game completely fails to do. This game has very low replay value. It purely relies on inventory limits to annoy you, forcing you into a cycle of constantly dropping and picking up items. Just when you finally have enough materials, it hits you with the "crafting data" requirement to drag out the playtime even more. The gameplay is pretty limited. Playing this game just made me realize that The Last Caretaker is truly a masterpiece. Seriously, do not buy this. Anyone who buys it is just asking for a headache. 千万不要买 强烈推荐the last caretaker 同样是生存建造 the last caretaker 不会让玩家大量丢弃物品 游戏体量不大 玩起来很恶心 就是用你携带物品的数量 让你不停的丢弃所需材料 不停的丢弃 然后寻找 然后丢弃后面的材料永远是你制作物品要用到的 而且很恶心的是需要你不停的挖掘采集 用极少数的物品格子来恶心你 还设计了数据恶心你 采集数据 每个资源自由两到三个数据 并不是说你已经解锁了就可以有材料就能建设 还需要你的采集数据 完全就是用很恶心的机制拖你的游戏时常 4格子的背包 6个格子的箱子 机制就能恶心死你 the last caretaker不会用格子还有数据卡你时长 你每次得到的资源 只要解锁 就没有那么多的机制去恶心你 让你有材料不能建 必须重复大量采集资源收集数据 这里的数据不是一次性解锁 而是重复收集 每次制作物品都需要各种数据 就是说让你的背包里全是材料 从头到尾就是在采集 丢材料 制作的时候发现你的数据还是不够用的 恶心到极致 我现在才知道the last caretaker有多好玩 一样是生存建造 the last caretaker从来不会用建造材料卡你 托你的游戏时长 你每次花两个小时去收集物品 就可以撑起你后续 六七个小时推游戏进度 而且the last caretaker的管卡设计 游戏世界观设计 还有玩法创意 the last caretaker 两周玩了300小时 不重复的管卡设计跟机制 让你觉得你每次收集 都有意义 从来不会用机制恶意卡你游戏时长 是这个游戏不能比的 这个游戏真的是可玩性不高 完全就是靠装备格子恶心你 让你不停的丢东西 采集东西 你的材料收集够了之后 再出来个制造需要数据来恶心你 拖你的游戏时长 玩法并不多 玩了这游戏我才知道 the last caretaker真的是神 千万别买 谁买谁弱智

Nette Ideen aber schreckliche Umsetzung. Zum Glück habe ich gewartet bis es im Sale war. Der Kampf ist ein Graus. Ständig muss der Charakter stehen bleiben um zuzuschlagen und braucht für die Animation eine gefühlte Ewigkeit. In der Zeit wird man 4 mal getroffen, weil man sich nicht bewegen kann. Das ganze Crafting ist kompliziert und man muss immer wieder los und nochmal irgendwas holen oder irgendwas töten weil es nicht von Anfang an klar ist was man wirklich alles braucht und zum Bauen ist fast nirgendwo Platz... Alles in allem kann ich das Spiel nicht empfehlen.

I like the way it looks. Looks like it could be fun. But the camera is f-ed up. No good way to look around. And camera snaps or auto tilts a lot. for me this makes it unpalyable.

I will be honest, I did have fun with this game in the beginning. The exploration, crafting, researching and others felt fun. But as the game went on it felt like a slog. Resource gathering feels like a chore, too many items are expensive to build, most of the research does not feel worth it, most of the resources felt like junk and the story feels like its dragging on near the end. What finally made me uninstall it is after finding out Quinn is the only voiced character for the story and the others are now, which is a shame since I would have love to see the story from their perspectives.

«Beyond Contact: До контакта с разработчиками они, видимо, не достучались» Решил я значит, махнуть на край галактики, подальше от земной суеты ипотеки и начальника-дурака. Думал, сейчас прилечу на экзотическую планетку, буду там эликсиры варить, с инопланетными формами жизни чаи гонять, открою свой филиал «Пятерочки»… Но что-то пошло не так с первых же минут. Плюсов, как ни старался, я не нашел. Честно обыскал всю капсулу приземления — ноль. Видимо, их вместе с нормальным интерфейсом где-то по пути потеряли. Зато минусы посыпались на голову быстрее, чем метеоритный дождь. Начнем с того, что UI здесь словно рисовал робот под кислотой. Все менюшки какие-то нечеловеческие, разобраться в них сложнее, чем объяснить бабушке, что такое TikTok. А карта! Это отдельный вид искусства. Смотреть на неё без слез невозможно — как будто пытаешься разглядеть маршрут в тумане через грязное стекло. И чтобы просто посмотреть по сторонам, нужно жать Q и E. Видимо, разработчики решили, что свободный поворот камеры мышкой — это слишком смелая инновация для 2023 года. Предлагаю в следующем патче прикрутить управление стрелочками на клавиатуре, а то совсем легко стало. Крафт и прокачка — это отдельная песня. Ты чувствуешь себя не покорителем космоса, а первоклассником, который пытается собрать кубик Рубика с закрытыми глазами. Интерфейс изучения рецептов сделан так, что хочется вместо крафта просто лечь и полежать. Всё нелогично, всё не на своих местах. Создаётся стойкое ощущение, что гайдбук по игре писал Шредингер — пока ты не откроешь крафт, ты не знаешь, есть там этот рецепт или его нет. И самое главное открытие: игра не сложная, она просто душная. Это как стоять в очереди в МФЦ в скафандре. Тебе не страшно, тебе не интересно, тебе просто душно и хочется домой. Никакого вызова, никаких проблем — просто нудная возня с интерфейсами, картой и кнопками поворота. В общем, если хотите проверить свои нервы на прочность и узнать, каково это — бороться с интерфейсом, а не с враждебной средой — добро пожаловать. Лично я улетаю обратно. Буду ждать контакта, который действительно за гранью.

I had a really good time with this one. The progression kept me interested from start to finish and it always felt like there was something to work towards without becoming repetitive. We only got stuck once because one objective wasn't entirely clear, so we had to look it up. Other than that, the progression felt smooth. The combat isn't the main focus but there's enough of it to keep things engaging without becoming overwhelming. I also liked that there are multiple characters to choose from. I probably wouldn't replay it unless new content was added but I definitely enjoyed my first playthrough and would recommend it to anyone looking for a co-op survival game.

I want to like this, but its just crazy tedious. Your oxygen ticks down continuously from full to zero over the course of about 20-25 minutes. This is fine and normal. Your food and water bar "stamina" also ticks down at that exact same rate, and when its empty you take damage and die the same way as if out of oxygen. You basically starve to death every 20 minutes. In order to offset it you have run around searching for scarce food or fighting creatures to gather their parts for food. This is fine but the whole map is covered by aggressive creatures that take offense to your existence, making this tedious. To add on to that, the food you get rots very quickly and your tools break quickly. I spent basically my whole time in this game running around gathering food with a tiny sidequest of progress. Pure tedium. Also the base building is annoying based on where you can build (and those hostile creatures are constantly attacking it) and the inventory management is basically stash things in tiny crates and then hunt around by icon.

I really liked this game, till mid way through i was not able to resolve an issue with one of the quests. I had to restart, but got through and it was good. Force Field Inverter is not able to be built, if you already built it, died and lost it.

Achei o jogo interessante de início, mas do meio pro fim é um grind insuportável, e o final progressivamente mais difícil e repetitivo. Sem acrescentar nenhum conteúdo novo. Lá pelo dia 80, eu não conseguia progredir em mais nada no jogo a não ser reconstruir a minha base para que ela sobrevivesse a um próximo raid. Não cheguei no final do jogo porque não tinha os materiais necessários para reconstruir a minha base, e para reconstruir eu precisava farmar as mesmas coisas o tempo inteiro. (jogando no modo difícil) Não curti. :(
