Gloomwood

致敬很多，创新也同样多。关卡设计在沉浸式模拟游戏里很十分合格，作者的游戏制作素养很高。这游戏如果有完整的世界观和美术包装，完全可以成为一个独立的ip。=u=

Gloomwood, the flawed masterpiece... This game describes itself as a stealth/immersive sim game, and it mixes them together so well into an at times horrifying experience of the Victorian era. If you want the short review, buy the game right now and stop reading here. This is the extended review. Gloomwood has some of the best integration of game mechanics, even for a game still in development. There is practically no UI (excluding a small amount when using the suitcase inventory system - also great in itself). Instead, the devs opted for a ring on the Doctor's thumb to be the stealth indicator. You hide in the shadows, the ring goes dark. Be a stripper in the spotlight in a crowd of huntsmen, and suddenly the ring glows. Thumb ring may I clarify. This combined with having to manually check ammo by looking into weapons, having to open up your journal to check health (as well as all other docs and your riches) and the tism-tickling pick and place inventory system make you feel real immersed in this disease ridden world. Sadly, the immersion is broken by the absence of rats gnawing my feet - luckily my house already provides that. You'll quickly notice some modernised 2000s style graphics as well. Frankly, it just works for this game, no further comment. The combat is very unique. Or maybe I play too many shooters. The Doctor you play is slow, hence the whole stealth genre, but it makes for satisfying kills and a feeling of vulnerability when you're fighting an 8 foot chud of a goat. The enemy AI being special makes this game so much more fun as well. Whilst this game does have quite linear progression, the sequences you take to reach a goal or area can differ vastly. Rather than finding a key to the locked tower in the fisheries, why not stack boxes until you can vault through the windows? My boring ass went for the key anyways, but you get the idea. Research is truly one of the best things about this game. You just cut up whatever thing you come across, analyse every part of it, and use the right bottled goodies to gain SERUMS. Ladies and gentlemen, SERUMS let you become these mutants temporarily. Even if you save them up to never use them (you will inevitably), you gain passive abilities by completing research, like critical headshots and more. Bottom line is, do your research. In summary, this game is worth every dollar right now. Sure, it isn't complete, but I, myself, am hyped for future updates, the next upcoming one being the addition of the bank to Hightown. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pigs. Nonetheless, I heavily commend Dillon Rogers and the team for creating and updating this game, and please continue your hard work . son

Its good. Almost nothing like it. Scratches that classic Theif itch that almost nothing else can scratch.

YES

Gloomwood是对的.

Fantastic action/stealth game, in the vein of Thief. Outside of Arkane's golden age, probably the best successor to the old Looking Glass lineage.
