Quern - Undying Thoughts

Отличная игра! Поклонники Myst и Riven непременно оценят. В играх я новичок, будет жаль, если больше не найду ничего подобного.

game has a little bit of puzzle game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and is held together by sticks and stones but overall enjoyable experience, majority of puzzles (at least the ones that take time) are panel puzzles rather than world puzzles with a pretty low difficulty across the board other than one [spoiler]underwater teleporting puzzle[/spoiler] from hell. story is fine, worth playing if you like puzzle games.

Quern ist eins der besten Rätselspiele, die ich der letzten Zeit gespielt habe. Am Anfang erschlägt einen die verwinkelte Welt. Sie ist nicht groß, aber man verliert schnell die Orientierung. Durch die Details der Räume und durch die spannenden Rätsel kommt keine Langeweile auf. Viele Rätsel sind sehr schwierig. Hier braucht man viel Geduld oder muss nach einer der wenigen vorhandenen Komplettlösungen suchen. Trotzdem konnte ich kaum aufhören weiter die Rätsel zu knacken und zu schauen welche neuen Orte ich entdecken kann.

+Nice graphics, pretty world. This is subjective and some others have called it "drab" but I thought it was very nice. +Sound design, the soundtrack gets a bit repetitive after a while but it does the job. +Puzzle design, some of the puzzles were very cool, especially ones related to the [spoiler]alchemy area and the green crystal[/spoiler]. I actually think this game is in the pocket difficulty-wise for a kid who likes puzzle games. +The games style of giving you feedback, namely there isnt much of one. It can really ruin the vibe when games like this do too much "announcing" that a puzzle is a puzzle, and making it too obvious that what you did was or wasnt effective. This game was pretty good, for the most part, about not throwing hints at you after you fail, and maintaining the vibe of being a guy alone and confused. It wasnt Riven-tier at tha, but theres only one Riven. +itemization, there are plenty of Macguffin items, but a lot of the items are very cool and thematic and are used in interesting ways -Story, it does the job but I found myself less interested in the story and more interested in just seeing the next game area. -Puzzle design, Some of the puzzles are really cool, some are really tired. There was a simon says puzzle. I mean come on dog. From a puzzle design perspective I would compare this game more to The Neverhood than to Myst. It even has a 5-note melody audio puzzle, and a 5-crystal prism puzzle! I love the Neverhood so this was fun in a nostalgic way for me, but I have to admit that its not always great. Next time you want to make The Neverhood 2, remember to hire Terry Taylor. It's not the best game ive ever played in the genre (Riven) but I had a lot of fun with it so thumbs up.

Quern is a great take on Point & Click games. Tha game is beautiful, as is its soundtrack, the story is nice and the puzzles are a mix of object related problem solving and combination locks, the difficulty is pretty well balanced although a bit too straightforward, but that's one of the only defect with some very minor plot holes, and those tiny imperfections don't stop Quern from being extremely enjoyable. A detail that I especially liked was the ability to switch from a regular modern game controls with wasd, to the old school Point & Click control style with fixed screen and free mouse, that was very helpful for many puzzles.

Super Spiel! Nicht zu leicht aber alles gut lösbar.
