Cipher 最近的评测

Normally I would recommend this game as I generally like survival games, got it on a recent sale but only after I've bought it I was made aware of couple of things.

For the positives first, it's a fairly nice survival game with nice stylized graphics and I'm sure I'll have fun with it. works pretty well on linux too, which is nice.

The reason I cannot recommend it is due to how how obnoxious the game is with telling you at every step how "ethical" and "good" the developers are, how much they stand against AI and how pro environment they are, how protecting the wildlife is important etc. etc, while just recently laying off 10 of their employees due to delays.

What is more ironic is that the game also had a disclaimer that the game was made without crunch, which seemingly is now removed.

The game apparently has been unfinished and in development hell for years and it seems that any feedback or criticism is faced with censorship.

If you are willing to look past that, and you like good immersive survival games, then I'm sure you will like it, otherwise I'd recommend to avoid it.

Just your average genshinslop.

Yet another game that looks really pretty, with interesting premise, but is designed to target certain audience that needs a constant dopamine hit with endless notifications spam, 4 characters instant swap, button mashing combat that gives an illusion that you're playing the game, auto walk, and extremely boring and predictable gameplay. You can't even go to options until you pass certain point in tutorial.

I feel sorry for the fans of the franchise, you guys probably deserve better than this.

This is one of those games you should go in blind.

Plenty of adorable, funny and creepy moments in a well written story. If you've played DDLC, you'll love it.

Peak Kojima writing, but definitely not for everyone.

Death Stranding is one of those games that is just hard to recommend due to Kojima's unique writing, that's not everyone's cup of tea, but also because of the walking sim nature of the gameplay.

If you are familiar with Kojima's nonsensical, comical and metaphorical writing, it's definitely a must. You will find gameplay similar to MGSV (for better or worse), great graphics in a really well optimized game engine.

You'll be hauling boxes, while babysitting you BB, dealing with ghosts, tar monsters, terrorists and delivery addicts. You'll be traversing using hiking equipment, ladders and constructions built by other players. Basically glorified Amazon delivery with story attached to it.

Voice acting, mocap and writing is really great, not much to be said without spoiling the plot.
Stealth, sneaking, combat, although not common in general, feels very smooth and enjoyable.
Music and sound design pretty much perfect.

Controls at times don't feel very responsive and sometimes it feels like you're fighting the character movement itself.
Some parts of the world are a bit more annoying rather than being challenging (high snowy mountains)

Works perfectly out of the box on Linux.

I really tried to enjoy this game but it's just not fun.

Kitsune Tails has some of the worst level design for a game of this style. The early levels started pretty nice but as early as world 2, it quickly became a mix of Kaizo Mario rom hacks difficulty and Syobon Action comically unfair hazards and pitfalls. Some levels feature big foreground elements completely obstructing your view which is just awful. Levels length spans from a very short straight line level with few jumps to multiple endless rooms full of lava and spike pits as if made to be as frustrating as possible,

The movement feels floaty and imprecise, which mixed with very tight platforming makes it quite unenjoyable.

The voice acting is a mixed bag, with Kiri's (the orange kitsume) and Yuzu's (the purple kitsune) acting being decent while the rest of the cast and random characters is pretty bad, but not because of the subpar acting but due to pretty awful writing...

The gameplay design choice is very strange considering you have to replay the entire game again as Kiri after finishing the game as Yuzu, with Kiri's move set and abilities being way more fun with dashes and wall jumps. it almost feels like the game was designed around Kiri's playstyle but you are forced to play the entire game as the more inferior and less fun to play character first.

Music and art are both pretty great which is appreciated.
Modding support is also nice.

Works perfectly fine on Steam Deck.

This is a legendary, 25 years old train sim that is still actively worked on till this day and it's absolutely free! I have played it on and off throughout its development in the past but I'm happy to see it on Steam!

MaSZyna is a pretty sizable, community run train sim, featuring a huge amount of authentic Polish locomotives, freight and passenger cars, both modern and historical.

There is a bit of a learning curve as you are expected to understand the signaling and operating procedures, which from what I see, the instructions are currently only available in Polish, but there are some general ingame hints in english throughout scenarios on how to operate various locomotives.

You aren't locked to any train presets like you are in most other train sims, so if you want to modify your scenario where you pull modern passenger cars with an old industrial diesel locomotive, you can absolutely do that.

The sound, detail and physics of most of the locomotives are pretty faithfully recreated, even though the environment may look a bit dated.

Scenarios can take a while to load which can be a bit annoying.

Works great on Linux! (not tested on Steam Deck yet)

What a thrill

Good ol Snake Eater in a really pretty looking remaster. Feels pretty accurate to the original game and it's definitely worth giving a try, especially if you are a fan of the series.

The performance is bit spotty, not ideal, and the game is locked to 60fps, but if you don't mind it, you'll definitely enjoy it.

Works out of the box on linux.

I never got to play the original game back on PS2, so this was my first time experience.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Okami, but it turned out to be a very visually stunning game with unique fun puzzles to solve by drawing on the screen with a pen.
The characters were quirky and fun, with and plenty of gag comedy as well as some more serious moments.
Everything in spirit of japanese folklore. The sound, music, art and unique atmosphere is definitely very memorable.

The combat was decent although nothing special, and at times it felt like the pacing of the story was a bit odd and sloggy to get through, but it wasn't bad.
It took me around 37h to finish it, so it is pretty lengthy, for better or worse.

Definitely looking forward to the sequel.

Works out of the box on Steam Deck and Linux.

To uneducated people spreading misinformation about ending support for the game:

Just because Microsoft ends official support for Windows 10 on 14th of October, it doesn't meant the game will stop working, They just can't guarantee that it will work out of the box and if that happens they will not be able to provide you support.

The game will work just fine on your Windows 10.

Brave little fox becomes a hero.

What pretty much looks like a nice little Zelda-like clone, is actually a fun puzzle game with a decent amount of 4th wall breaking, nice isometric graphics, amazing music and environmental storytelling. It's a bit hard to explain things in depth without spoiling the fun parts.

Combat at times is quite challenging and puzzles are interesting once you understand what the game mechanics are. The game is also made with speedrunning in mind for extra challenge and replayability with NG+.

Definitely recommend if you are into games such as Undertale or Oneshot mixed with Zelda-like or Souls-like games

Works out of the box on Steam Deck and Linux.
