Blue Prince

It's a genius game. Hard to recommend because it's definitely not for everyone, but if you're a big nerd, it's an experience like no other. If you like puzzles and roguelikes, just go for it, don't read anything about the game.

Amazing game, really just neat to get immersed in the world they created!

영어 진짜 완전 모르는 뇌입니다... 중학교 회화정도 수준이 되겠네요. 공부하고자 플레이 한다면 중의적 표현이나 몇몇 어려운 단어, 표현에 충격먹습니다. 가끔 구글번역도 꼬이더라고요. 그래서 영어를 정말 잘하는 분의 도움을 받았음에도 그런 분도 모르는 단어 퍼즐 문제들이 존재합니다. 그럼에도 추천하고 싶은 바는.... 퍼즐을 풀어나갈 때 마다 나타나는 새로운 방, 길들의 탐험이 즐겁습니다. 방마다의 개연성. 숨겨진 장치들. 아이템 상호작용. 우연의 일치로 찾은 길.... 그리고 드문드문 편지에 나오는 인물들의 관련성 (사실 아직도 햇갈려 죽겠음) 다 재밌습니다! 사실 몇몇 어려운 퍼즐은 못풀어서... 그냥 시원하게 블루프린스 위키 찾아봤습니다. 해답이 친절하게 잘 정리되어 있습니다 ㅎㅎ 꼭 다 풀 필요는 없다고 생각하는게... 진짜 말장난은 부장님이 와도 이해 못할 것 같은 수준이라 해야하나...ㅠㅠ.... 아는 단어가 많아야 푸는 재미도 있을 듯 합니다. 로그라이크, 막연한 탐험 , 영어 퍼즐(블루 프린스 위키 도움 짱), 끈기있는 도전 이 세개 다 괜찮으시다면 플레이 추천합니다.

Interesting rougelike puzzle game with TONS of intricate puzzles. Took me a solid 17hrs to get the day 1 trophy (and speed run trophy) but there is easily 100's of hours in this game. I would say for the day 1 run specifically that this game DOES NOT respect your time and it took 20+ runs to finally have one pan out but if you are just starting out, the game has so much to see and do and is an absolute blast.

Tantalising and fascinating new discoveries every day.

The game takes a short while to get going, but once you've got a few hours in it's easy to get hooked. Puzzles start out easy but eventually become much more difficult as you progress, and as you move forward, every time you finally answer a question, two more get asked. Very easy to come back to even after a while as you'll be thinking about what was that room for? What is behind that brick wall?

I want to recommend this game, because it's one of the best puzzle games I've ever played. Unfortunately, it's also extremely disrespectful of my time and desire for closure. I put some suggestions to get around this in the final paragraph. The early "surface" game plays well, and would be worth playing, but it draws you in with more mystery and backstory, so that the initial puzzle becomes your main antagonist, forcing you to play through to "the end" over and over and over hoping for random events that push your knowledge further. These midgame puzzles would be great on their own, except that you are forced to keep a journal so that you can gather clues from multiple "play-throughs". You solve a midgame puzzle, and it opens up more worldbuilding and wonder, until you look back and realize that you spent 20 hours of setup to put together the clues in 20 minutes. The 20 minutes were great, the 20 hours were not. After all that, the clues get sparser, the items get rarer, the required resources increase, and the game forces you to do things in an order that maximizes grinding unless you've found all the tricks to avoid it. And the game is open-world enough that you can easily miss tricks or get stuck on hard puzzles without realizing it. I gave up and checked a guide for final solutions, and it seems that the author hasn't even finished the game. They're adding new endgame puzzles and storyline. Which sounds great, but remember that this is only for the people who have played hundreds of hours so far. So not only will the average player not reach the end, they currently CANNOT reach the end, and everything they do in the game will be open-ended and unsatisfying. It's likely that this game will be culturally relevant for a while, so if you're reading this you should actually experience it. I have a few suggestions: 1) Watch a video of someone else playing the game, making sure that they have edited out the mid+ game grinding, if they even get that far. 2) Promise yourself you will quit when you reach room 46, or at least the locked entrance, because the interior is barely worth it. Accept all the worldbuilding you discover on your way with wonderment but not curiosity. 3) Get a group of people together who like puzzles and make it a group hobby/challenge to see how far you can all get through the game. Compare notes always. See if you can share saved games (I don't know if this is possible, but there is a built-in import function so it should at least be mod-able). That should reduce grinding and increase random occurrences. Remember that the reward for solving a big puzzle is always a bigger puzzle, Good Luck!
