The Clockwork Man: The Hidden World

Clock Work Man (Hidden) I have asked three times for help in the puzzle and nothing. I have restarted three times and still puzzle is not working. Too many hours and a dead end. Now I can't find the refund button, so I'm just going to throw the money away and delete it.

Ce jeu fait suite à un premier The Clockwork Man sorti quelques mois plus tôt. Il reprend les mêmes principes et on y retrouve la même héroïne. Si j'ai de la peine à recommander le premier opus, ce second épisode me semble bien plus abouti et plus plaisant à jouer. On y retrouve les scènes d'objets à chercher en version panoramique, on a quelques séquences de point&click, quelques puzzles originaux. Et c'est ce qu'on attend de ce genre de jeu. On en oublie le scénario peu intéressant et l'héroïne sans charisme. Par contre, le jeu ne vaut clairement pas 10 CHF/euros alors attendez les soldes pour éventuellement acquérir ce jeu...

The ending credits are longer than the game itself. 3/10

I did not recommend the first part of this game, but luckily the developers made a big progress this time, so I give it a thumb up :) Pros: [list] [*] finally there's standard HO styled menu [*] puzzles are more complicated and you can't skip them [*] HO scenes are way better - you don't have to inspect the same area few times... [*] it's longer than the first part [*] you meet more characters [*] the environment is more interesting [/list] Cons: [list] [*] glitches [*] some HO scenes are like in the first part of the game - there are many tiny objects that are hard to find [*] sometimes when you click on the object nothing happens [*] inventory is still placed on top so it's quite uncomfortable to use it [/list]

그럭저럭 괜찮다. 1편하고 별 다를 바는 없지만 스토리는 좀 나아진 듯. 그냥 평범하기 그지없는 숨그찾이지만 그래도 스프로켓은 정말 귀엽다!ㅋㅋㅋ 퍼즐보다는 숨그찾이 메인이며, 1편이 그랬듯 조금 치사한 숨그찾 씬 때문에 평가는 많이 낮아지는 모양이다. 하지만 개인적으로는 평소 하던 것보다 어려워서 더 재밌었다. 치사한 짓거리도 1편보다는 덜하고. 성우 연기도 훌륭하고, 그래픽도 꽤나 예쁘고, 스토리만 좀 더 잘 풀어나갔다면 괜찮았을 것을, 컷씬 퀄리티는 좋은데 내용이 ㅠㅠ 그나마 [spoiler] 다람쥐의 마지막 최후만큼은 귀엽다 ㅋㅋㅋ식인 식물한테 주려다가 한소리 크게 들었당ㅋㅋ[/spoiler] 그리고 [spoiler] 교수는 왜 날 속였다가 날 구하려고 했다가 한대 맞고 나가떨어졌는지 전혀 설명이 없고... [/spoiler] [spoiler] 제목의 clockwork man도 스프로켓 말고는 없는데ㅋㅋㅋ1편에서 사라졌던 것 아닌가? 그 내용과 조금이라도 연관이 있었으면 좋았을 텐데, 싶기도 하고. [/spoiler] 여러모로, 스토리가 너무너무 빈약해서 아쉬운 게임. 그것만 제외하면 괜찮은 게임이다. 1편보다 음악도 훨씬 좋았다.

This could be a great Hidden Object Game but it has issues with pixel finding and determining what to do next. Unfortunately the resolution is not great and can be problematic clicking on items in the Hidden Object Panels. Have experienced issues with items not being able to click on due to being behind items (even though it sticks out), and some items assume it is wrong item only to be sent back by the help - and many clicks later it is activated. This version of the clockwork man is not as linear as the previous version and is more like an adventure game, making it near impossible to determine what needs to be done when. reminds me of the old adventure games where you would wander around for hours clicking on everything in each scene and trying to utilise and combine all inventory items just to proceed.
