SIGNALIS

После прохождения остается странная смесь грусти, тревоги и желания немедленно открыть разбор сюжета. Не потому что игра что-то недосказала, а потому что хочется еще раз вернуться в этот мир и посмотреть на него уже другими глазами. Скрытый Гем Геймдева , 10\10 .

可取之处（精华）： 1.冰冷、诡谲的未来世界观设定。 2.细腻的像素美术风格。 3.视听上极力营造的生存恐怖氛围。 4.引人入胜的碎片化叙事节奏（我不是完全清楚故事究竟如何）。 这是我买下这个游戏的全部理由——我只是被它的世界设定与美术风格吸引而来。 这显然不能掩盖其游戏性匮乏的真相，但这可以被考虑为——为契合窒息环境而故意为之。本文不苛刻于基本的游戏性以寻求某种优化，而是仅仅阐述一些游玩事实（它就是这样）： 1.平庸的游戏战斗，从一个俯视角进行“举枪-等待读条-射击”的循环操作，唯一令人虎躯一震的是怪物发出的惊叫。 2.交互判定狭窄，往往要站在某一个点上徘徊才能精准触发；瞄准索敌的机制非常不智能，往往瞄准的是你意料之外的目标，要是你瞄准目标的身前又出现另一个目标，你根本不知道读条的伤害加成是否还有效——这导致战斗令人烦躁。 3.主人公作为赛博机体，宛如六旬老太，步伐蹒跚。 3-1.强行硬核，一切东西都被严厉限制，资源获取困难，关卡设计极烂。 4.无聊头顶且繁琐的谜题设计，大部分时间用来试错与丈量大地（充满A-B-C-D般的道具寻找流程）。. 5.为了生存恐怖的氛围营造，影响玩家基本的游戏体验。 6.引导便秘。 不推荐，如果你对剧情风格感兴趣，建议开无双横扫。

Words alone explain how Signalis has physically and mentally tormented me, yet, I love the game more than anything there is in this universe. Perhaps, Hell is Heaven.

Its ability to convey emotions through narrative execution reminds me heavily of Neon Genesis: Evangelion. This game is THE GOAT in gaming. (Second only to Disco Elysium of course)

So this game is actually fairly bad. I don't understand why anyone would like it. 1) it is ultra pretentious. Like I think it is the most pretentious thing I have ever read or played or seen. 2) It takes (steals) from all kinds of media. I mean there is a shot for shot scene from ghost in the shell. There are several mentions about things literally almost identical to true detective, there are things from Akira in this, there are multiple blade runner scenes, and don't get me started on the things stolen from Resident evil. I mean the piano music, the radio, most of the gameplay. Save yourself some money and time and just replay resident evil 1 3) The writing is absolutely horrendous. Its like the writers just discovered language. I don't mean bad translations, but just a very bad story. The endings make zero sense and as a rebuttal, the devs literally said, "they arent supposed to make sense, thats why its so amazing". What kind of nonsensical pretentious BS is that? It is like they didn't know what they were making and just decided to wing it. 4) it does edgy "Im 14 and this is deep" stuff. Like lots of it. Like most of the game is this way. It has a false ending, it has hot anime babes doing hot anime things in what is supposed to be a serious Story. It has cursing in random weird spots. It's really dumb and cringe. 5) its supposed to be survival horror but I beat the whole game in under 6 hours, it was EXTREMELY easy with NO puzzles. The Puzzles are literally, "find item, then find another item to unlock item that lets you find another item, then unlock door". It is very clear that the devs have never taken any game theory classes or understand game making. Just save yourself the money and time and play Resident Evil 1.

O survival horror com a história mais marcante que eu já joguei, os puzzles realmente te botam pra pensar e é evidente as inspirações em Silent Hill e os antigos Resident Evil. Fora que eu amo lésbicas, jogo 10/10, com certeza é um daqueles que vai ficar guardado na sua cabeça, leia todas as anotações espalhadas pelo mapa e crie suas próprias teorias. Só não seja burro como eu e certifique-se de desbloquear todas as armas antes de progredir pra uma área nova (sim eu zerei o jogo sem o revolver e sem o rifle, o que tornou minha gameplay 10x mais torturante, principalmente em Nowhere).

Pretty good survival horror game. I enjoyed it, although I didn't understand the story whatsoever. I'll watch a video on it later I guess. From what I gathered throughout my playthrough, is that it takes a lot of inspiration from Nier: Automata, Blade Runner and HP Lovecraft. I might be way off but there are several instances of those elements throughout. It's just told in a very disjointed manner and you have to piece together far too many things through notes, diaries and very strange dream-like sequences to make sense of it. It's incredibly vague, at times frustratingly so. I enjoy a good cryptic, science fiction tale, but this one is by far one of the strangest and hard to follow I've played in a long time. I don't have too many complaints about the game overall, other than the story. I feel like there is something profound there but the writer didn't want me to enjoy it for the sake of being vague and mysterious. The graphical style is really cool and I like the retro look they went for. Very neat use of lighting and reflections. Sound is also a highlight with some creepy audio effects and appropriately atmospheric music. The survival horror elements were good. You really are forced to carry very few items and manage your ammo and health resources. I played on classic settings with normal combat. I died twice, so it wasn't a very difficult game on the standard settings, although there were a few instances about 3/4 of the way through the game I felt like I might not be able to make it, as I had very little ammo and healing items left, but I was able to build back up and I had plenty by the end. All in all, a solid game that is likely worth the full asking price, but I did grab it on a sale.

The game is overall pretty decent and I definitely enjoyed parts of it. Unfortunately there's just a too many things that bug me to give a positive review: 1. The story is kind of all over the place up until the end when it starts to make some sense but still feels a little needlessly abstract/vague for the casual player. 2. Boss fights are lame and interrupt the flow of gameplay. 3. Targeting system just bugs out sometimes and will target enemies farther away instead of the ones closest to you (mostly happens when aiming at a closer enemy and another enemy gets in range). 4. Drags on near the end with repetitive fetch quests (puzzles get less satisfying the further into the game you get). 5. Achievements don't make any sense and are too vague (sometimes you have to search what exactly you did to get an achievement). 6. Font is sometimes not readable or you have to guess numbers are. 7. Some puzzle mechanics are not as intuitive as they should be. 8. Has a false ending that almost made me think it was real, no clue why they would do that. Only reason I found out it was false was because I searched up what people thought of the ending. 9. Key items need to stay labeled or something on the map, if your inventory is full (happens a lot) you have to go back to a save point to drop off some items. And you might happen to miss going back for that key item and now you need to wander around for a bit just to find it again 10. Some areas just don't have maps for reason when it doesn't make sense for them not to after you've explored most of them. 11. Some weapons get too weak later in the game and start to become kind of useless, I don't want to have to unload all my ammo just to kill one enemy (this isn't really too much of a problem tbh but still kinda lame). TLDR: For me the game has a strong start but doesn't stay good enough as it goes on for you dismiss its various issues. If I were being harsh I would say its a cool puzzle game with gun play that eventually turns into a slog/fetch-fest of grabbing various keys from various places.
