Cultist Simulator

太特么的好玩了，不玩不是人，特意在ipad上也下了（主要是为了强制自己不开控制台）灯衍生胜利了，但是后续再开的灯使徒实在是太难了。。回归电脑拜请一下控制台之神

The exploration aspect is really interesting but the grind just weighs it down too much. Losing a run does not feel as if you have learned things you now want to try and use in your next run. It just feels lika a punisment of early game grind you have to endure so you can get back to the interesting parts.

I have no idea what's going on, but it's captivating.

This is the most original game i have played in my entire life (1500 game catalogue and average 47h in games across all of them) and challenges your emotional, logic and luck, just dive in and get used to how things work as concepts, figure out a way, force, or abandon your quest. The choises feel endless and impactful. I am writing this Review as an response to my one sit 13 h run as medium. What a rollercoaster of emotions, you can get immersed more than in book, but you need to keep track of info load equal to many books (in single adventure) and some things are just bare abstractions. Take that as it is. Mansus has no walls.

A fascinating game about plugging cards into timers (Don't worry, you can pause). I never would have imagined a game like this could be so immersive, or have such interesting emergent gameplay. Little stories emerge as you go about your business ordering your cultists about. Evading (or dealing with) the law. Finding patrons and unlocking secret mysteries. I wish I could tell you more about my experience, but that would be spoilers. Those little "Wait, I can DO that?" realizations were some of my favorites. There are some caveats. This is certainly not a game for the impatient. Just learning how to not immediately lose the game from despair or insanity takes some doing. A lot of people are going to bounce off that initial hurdle and give up, I know I did the first time. After that there is a lot of trial and error that's going to happen, and it can be frustrating. Especially after you sink hours into an attempt. I think probably the worst aspect of the game is the "Work" timer. It has been pointed out in other reviews but having to plug the same cards into that timer every 70 seconds or so for tens of hours gets very old. I suppose it is supposed to represent the drudgery of a daily job, and it certainly achieves that. Of course you can simply stop going to work once get enough money, and I highly encourage anyone who plays this game to do just that. Work when you need cash. No, you do NOT need 100 funds for anything. Just stop. There is a reason it's not automated of course, as if it were you would definitely be VERY frustrated when you suddenly realize you need the work timer for something urgent only to discover that you're locked out of it for the next minute and your limited resources are going to decay and now you're completely screwed. Anyway, my advice for anyone in the mid-game slump is to stop being complacent. You got that far by trying new and risky things and you've fallen into safe habits. If things feel slow, you're probably missing something. Try new things. Plug cards in that you haven't tried before. The Dream and Talk timers will surprise you. I do wish expeditions and dreams were a bit more interesting. They are rather static once you figure them out. My first win took me 30 hours to achieve without spoiling myself on anything. Your milage may vary. Now that I know what I'm doing I suspect my next victory will take significantly less time, and I'm looking forward to it.

非常看相性的一款游戏，犹豫了很久要不要入库，不过现在爽玩hhh

Непонятно ни хрена, но очень интересно 8/10
