Incredible Mandy

搁置了一年多总算通关了。下文其实并非评测，只是一个普通玩家的碎碎念而已，不看也罢。 总的来说，通过不断的补丁更新，现在这个游戏虽然依然有问题，但也可算是国产解密游戏的佼佼者了。 在大多数开发者囿于技术力和资金，只能做2D游戏的国内独立市场里，一款3D游戏无疑是非常引人瞩目的。3D意味着玩法、关卡设计、操作手感较之2D都有更大的开发空间，3D也意味着更好的卖相，以及吸引独立游戏圈外玩家的可能。 不可思议之梦蝶在画风上就胜过其他同类游戏一筹，且解密难度不高，制作时想必也考虑了非解密玩家的游戏体验。不过由于没有相关经验，3D所带来的并不都是好消息。这款游戏有一些本质上的问题。第一，这个游戏有七大关七个风格各异的大箱庭，但是可探索内容却略显不足，只是按照线性流程走：第二，线性流程也加重了关卡设计所带来的不适感，玩通之后感觉大部分谜题可以以2D的形式完美复现，不是说用2D逻辑做3D游戏一无可取，但是作为独立开发者并没有工业级的资源，相较于同类型的其他游戏差距之大令人感慨。关卡设计当然是最大的问题，还有一些别的，例如糟糕的操作手感等等，作为一款独立游戏尚且都可以睁一只眼闭一只眼。如果每一章都能有最后一个大关的设计水准，这款游戏除了画风以外，也能有一些其他值得吹嘘的点。 现在已经是2020年了，从这个时间点回头看，虽然这款游戏在18-19之交的国产游戏浪潮里并未脱颖而出。不过虽然没有出圈，但也过得不差，前些日子还移植上了ns。也算是国产独立游戏中的幸运儿了。 最后，也不必祝国产独立游戏越来越好了，现在这环境，还是祈祷我们的开发者们能吃饱饭吧， 希望你们能带给大家更好的游戏。 ——7/10 我会把它推荐给新手解密玩家的。

Incredible Mandy has a nice visual style, nice effects, and good gameplay basics, but ultimately lacks polish in multiple areas that would make it consistently fun. [i]Positives are marked with +, neutrals with *, and negatives with -.[/i] + Nice visual style + Nice visual effects * Very basic/bare-bone level design - Sluggish, slow character controls, basically no air control - Some bad level design choices and issues (being able to get stuck if you don't trickjump around barrier, unclear paths, unnecessary falling of the edge) - Aiming with mouse is not consistent, possibly buggy when trying to aim far up - The tutorial text boxes spoil puzzles - Sometimes tedious to execute puzzles - Sometimes unclear path - Character and puzzle elements are slow windup, slow wind-down, making it incredibly frustrating to try and perform precise interactions - Chest opening is slow; a try at giving rewarding reveals, but ultimately fails to do so - Confirm message box with jump key also makes you jump (instead of just closing the dialog) - No good default Steam Controller configuration (I did switch to mouse eventually because aiming was a necessity) I have a feeling the numerous pain points made even some not too bad things feel worse. (Like the robot you have to guide through.) After half an hour it started to just be frustrating and annoying and I gave up.
