Kaizen: A Factory Story

以为造摩托是开始，没想到已经结束哩！

Не оправдала ожиданий, по сравнению с трейлером игра жиденькое г

Es un divertido juego de puzzles, tiene unas mecanicas limitantes pero es solucionarlas lo que lo hace entretenido. Me a pasado que creo terminar un puzzle en 10 minutos y tardo una hora. Tiene historia? si de que va la historia? ni idea, deje de prestarle atencion desde el tercer o cuarto puzzle, pero supongo que seria util leerla para saber de por que uno pasa de hacer jugetes a comida y de comida a ropa. 100 por ciento recomendado si te gustan los rompecabezas

It may not be the best zachlike, but that is only because of how good others were. This puzzle game is quite good, the last puzzles are more challenging, the normal levels are easy if you just take the time to complete them but offer a lot if you want to try to optimize the solution. Recommended if you like zachlikes, it is a good entry to a great genre

Отличная игра от Зака, на фоне прошлых игр значительно проще, но все еще есть над чем подумать и как решить пазл.

One good thing about the Zachtronics games were they focused on the engineering being extremely interesting puzzles, coupled with a sometimes interesting story that was light and just gave a little extra flavor so you weren't just solving programming puzzles to program, but to "fix a guy's brain cyberware", etc. The stories never took away from the game. With Kaizen, this feels like a terrible visual novel coupled with some light hearted engineering puzzles. There is more visual novel than engineering, and it takes away from what would be an okay engineering game. It's well-made, just mostly visual novel and not what the launch trailer tries to demonstrate. You can click through the dialog and just get to puzzles, but you will do a lot more clicking in the visual novel part than the engineering part. Feels like I had to click through 50 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dialog messages just to get to a puzzle which was easily solved in 30 seconds by spinning some part around and pushing it.

3/5 I wouldn't recommend this game, not because it's _that_ bad, but rather because I recommend playing Opus Magnum and its DLC instead. Granted, I only reached the half-way point of the game, but the mechanics don't seem to innovate enough to stay interesting at least for the first half. The artstyle/story also rubs me the wrong way. The game has this smooth, really safe coorporate artstyle, which makes it seem as if it tried to say something or make fun of japanese corporate culture and all of its, but it just never really gets there. Again, the game itself iss fine and you can get some interesting challenges out of it, but it's just a downgrade from Opus Magnum
