The Alters

玩了4个小时玩到矿工剧情，[spoiler] 我不给他吸毒他把自己胳膊砍了， [/spoiler]感觉一股味。出来仔细一看是[h2][b]冰汽时代[/b][/h2]那个制作组，可惜不能退款了。 音乐 5/10 没有留下任何印象。 美术 5/10 唤醒分身的动画不错。船舱内设计中规中矩，其他方面也没什么让人眼前一亮的设计。 地图设计 3/10 外出地图设计很差，昏暗的场景，光秃秃的山路，容易导致眩晕。岔路口不明显，需要不断打开地图查看位置防止迷路，既然剧情过场动画中主角的宇航服上都有抬头显示器，或许可以添加指南针或者导航来解决。 剧情 3/10 选择不同的人生分支是一个不错的切入点，但是我玩了矿工、技术员、本体、科学家，四个人生分支，[spoiler] 23岁妈妈都会死，35岁都会来到这个该死的星球，[/spoiler]剧情发展无法很好地解释。同时西式propaganda的道德选项也许年轻一点的我会喜欢，现在的我不喜欢。 价格 7/10 5折54.5元入手，对于这个价格的游戏，这个游戏的完成度很高。 综合 3/10 价格很便宜，如果你喜欢剧情的新奇感，但是又不在乎细节可以玩玩。

Well, the game is good. But it's not perfect. Warning: This review contains spoilers for both the story and the gameplay mechanics. Let's start with the negatives. I played Acts 1 and 2 before the Last Variable DLC was released. Back in Act 1, I encountered a softlock when climbing onto a ledge and fell through the terrain. Fortunately, that was the only game-breaking bug I experienced. There were a few other minor issues, but they only happened once. Then the DLC came out, and things got much worse. Alters started teleporting around, and the incoming call sound and visual effects kept playing even after answering the call and during the conversation. The achievements for building the fourth and fifth containers never unlocked for me. When I loaded my Act 2 save, right before one of the most important choices in the game, all of my Alters were standing together in one spot. I could assign them to different jobs, and they would technically perform those tasks, but their character models never moved. Even the status display showed them all standing in the same place. This completely destroys the immersion—and immersion is arguably the game's greatest strength. The Alters is all about becoming invested in its world and the choices you make. So how do you release a DLC that ends up breaking the base game? Another thing I dislike is when a game presents you with a meaningful choice and then quietly tells you afterward that you picked the "wrong" one. No matter what you choose in Act 2, the Technician leaves with part of the crew. In one version of events he can return; in the other, he never does. Even if he forgives Jan, he still refuses to come back. That means one of the choices is objectively worse if your goal is to keep the whole team together. I could have accepted that if the game actually developed the storyline for the crew members who leave. But it doesn't. I visited the rebels' base several times, and after the supplies quest there's no way to contact them, talk to them, help them, or ask for their help. That entire storyline simply goes nowhere. Speaking of choices, the game constantly tells you that they're important, permanent, and impossible to take back. Yet the save system itself lets you pin saves right before major decisions. That completely undermines the narrative. How am I supposed to treat my decisions seriously when I can instantly reload and try another outcome, like in a visual novel? Now for the positives. The game is incredibly cinematic. Not long before playing it, I watched the film Project Hail Mary, and it gave me exactly the same feeling: hard science fiction, space, a lonely protagonist who finds kindred spirits while trying to survive in an alien environment. It's fantastic. The music, sound design, and camera work amplify that atmosphere tremendously. The first time you create an Alter is unforgettable. You genuinely feel everything Jan is going through. It almost feels like you're watching a high-quality sci-fi movie with a real actor rather than playing a game. I only wish the developers had managed to maintain that atmosphere throughout the entire game. Unfortunately, they don't. The story is extremely original and definitely memorable. It explores relationships, parents and children, love, difficult choices, philosophy, determinism, and ethics. It would have deserved a standing ovation if not for some noticeable weaknesses in Act 3. Finally, there's the survival and base-building gameplay. It's fun, varied, and offers multiple ways to develop your strategy. You can choose to handle every problem yourself or automate as much as possible by relying on your Alters. That's before you even factor in the optional research branches, which add even more depth. I highly recommend playing this game—once the bugs are fixed.

Расслабляющая игра с прекрасным сюжетом и невероятными героями, сыгранными всего одним человеком

Scratches the same itch as This War of Mine and Frostpunk

Man bekommt keinerlei Hinsweise darauf, was man machen muss, man hat diese dämliche Brücke gebaut, und vor Abreise rennt man nur auf Probleme und kommt nicht voran. Erst ist es zu viel Massen, dann reichen "Ressourcen" nicht aus... ein Hinweis AUF WAS AN RESSOURCEN man braucht, wäre hilfreich, so an sich sonst nur ein Drecksgame, wenn man nicht voran kommt
