Valkyria Chronicles 4 Complete Edition

综合来看，《战场女武神4》的编剧很可能想表达一个深刻的主题：“在绝对残酷的总体战中，没有谁能保持纯洁，理想主义者要么被碾碎，要么被迫弄脏自己的手。战争本身就是吞噬一切人性的地狱。”，问题在于，游戏前半部分花了大量笔墨刻画主角团反抗不人道的命令，树立其“人性底线守护者”的形象，到了最后，却突然让他们接受了一个更不人道的命令，且转变过程仓促。这种为制造戏剧冲突而强行反转人物弧光的做法，让玩家积累的情感信任瞬间崩塌。剧情将主角团置于一种“别无选择”的悲情境地，强调他们执行命令时的痛苦和牺牲，这在一定程度上，是将 “执行者”的情感困境置于了“被屠杀的平民”的痛苦之上。这是一种危险的叙事重心偏移，容易衍生出“虽然我们做了坏事，但我们也很痛苦，所以我们也是受害者”的模糊逻辑。而“百夫长号”的单程突袭，本质上就是一次“神风特攻”。日本文艺作品对“特攻”的描写常常混合着“批判其愚蠢”和“歌颂其牺牲精神”的复杂情绪。《战场女武神4》在这里似乎想批判，但手法生硬，最终更像是在展现一种“残酷的壮烈”，让玩家情绪混乱。结局最终走向“个人救赎”，而非对罪行本身的清算和铭记。这种“通过个人痛苦来解脱集体罪责”的叙事，缺乏对战争决策机制、国家罪责以及如何补偿受害者的系统性探讨，我只能说“不愧是日本人写出来的神人剧情” ，毫无疑问，从民族性而言日本人是无救的，在品尝到下一次刻骨铭心的痛苦失败与毁灭性的战争后果之前，他们永远也不会从历史中得到真正的反思。

Oddly, the game reminds me of Fire Emblem and therefore, I absolutely love it. Though, it being a PS4 game, it's a bit lower fidelity in terms of textures but for me personally it never dampened my total enjoyment of the gameplay, story, and art style.

Good game but it have bugs, Audio bug that was voiceover doesn't play but I found a way to make the voiceovers work and narrator voice to work by putting on Mono Audio in Computer Sound Setting. Fun story and fun Gameplay

good gameplay

I really want to love this game, but it's just way too repetitive for me to enjoy it. Let me explain: The boss fights aren't as creative as the first game. You have... 2 girls with crossbows? A grenadier Valkyria? 2 tanks? The enemies are also very uncreative, it's the same enemies except lancers are made redundant by grenadiers. One snipe to the back with a grenadier and now I almost never use lancers. The map layouts are either super open or super choky, leaving you exposed to tank fire (they can snipe like a mf) or snipers/grenadiers. The story isn't too bad, but I wish we had more character development instead of side squad stories. Replayability is also super low because once you beat the game on any mode there is almost no variation. Harder tanks? Yeah... but are there any new enemies that really have me cautious? No? Then why would you have a harder difficulty if it just introduces barely anything exciting? Another thing: this game is 8 years old. There are still bugs that completely ruin it for certain controller setups. Fix the bugs or give us another sequel. Please, I love the series, but this game is less fun than the first because it barely adds anything new to justify its price tag or its place in the VC series. I would love a VC 5, but I want more bosses, something that actually signals that these are bosses and not just optional obstacles. I love you SEGA, but there needs to be some more content.

good
