The Gunk

场景建模很好，美术风格偏奇幻但，玩法有些单一，整体偏解谜为主夹带部分射击“吸尘器”，人物包括主角建模有点偏LGBT造型了，还好看着像是玩偶人没那么反感，整体中规中矩，值得一玩

A very rough gem, that’s the simplest way I can say about this game. If you want a casual game where you vacuum up stuff + doing some platforming then this is it cuz that’s all you will do. Now, it may only do those two things, but it does them well. Vacuum mechanic is fluid, movement too, so while the core gameplay might revolve around two things, those two things are enjoyable. For the vacuum part, you will use your mechanical arm to suck up not just the gunk but also materials for upgrades. You can unlock upgrades as you scan various things and here lays the first problem, finding out what you can actually scan. The are two ways, you can vacuum around and a blue icon will be displayed over an object (which is usually a plant) or a red one will display if you already scanned that object, the other way is just to run around with scan on and point at things you might think they are scan-able. Not much to say about platforming, the movement is fluid. As for the puzzles, some are hit or miss. The good side of the puzzles is that they are simple and easy. The bad side (of some) is the fact that you need to figure out where the heck is the item you need to toss/pull in order to complete it. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending how you look at it) the levels are pretty linear and it’s hard to get lost. But areas do have some side paths you can take, and at the end of those all you will find is just materials, no extra collectibles or anything special. As for the story, well, for me it felt incomplete. There is just 1 or 2 dialogue lines which explain where the gunk comes from but not why it infected or made the creatures which attack you, or going deep into why and how the villain turned the whole planet into what it is, not even background stories for the characters, all you know about them is that they are on this planet because of a debt. The dialogues do not get much interesting either, most of the time revolving around the main character going “Wow this planet is so beautiful, I need to explore more” and the other character “Watch out, do not get hurt!”, they constantly bicker with each other through the radio, it gets so annoying. So, in the end, it is a simple, casual game. It has two main things going for it and it does them well. Despite looking open world, the game is linear with some side paths to grab extra mats. Puzzles are simple too but sometimes can be annoying by not explaining some facts (such as: you can shoot down certain seeds/pods and explosive pods to drop them), but once you figure out the different interactions, they do become easy to solve. Story feels incomplete (or maybe they wanted to keep it simple by not dwelling too much in it), dialogue gets annoying. Overall, I give the game a 6/10, I think it is just right, you might give it more if you do want a simple to learn game, heck you can play this one with barely any tutorial. But I really do not see it as a 25$ game. PS. as an end tip: grab the upgrade Power Pulse to stunt creatures, it makes the end much more easy.
