PenguBlue 最近的评测

I had bought this game when it came out and it was a bit of a mess. I've given it a few years and played it again in 2020. It still wasn't great so I hoped it would have been fixed by now but it seems they gave up on trying to make this fun.

While the world itself looks good, the weather systems are neat and fun, evrything else falls flat....

The UI navigation is actually awful. You enter the map by pressing "1"???? You navigate most of it by pressing "2" and "3" wile also using "A" and "D", it makes you press right mluse button to back out of the menus and with the tutorial pop-ups ask you to press a or d and then to reach over and press enter and then right click like who thought this was a good idea???????

The cutscenes are a bloody mess, no consistancy at all. Some are just moving images with a voice over, some are so poorly rendered they look like ps3 era cutscenes, some are in game renders and it just doesn't make sense. On top of that is just the hard changes in time and location. Even watching the cut scenes it can be day time in it and you'll be where you start the cutscene, then when it finishes it's night time with no mention of it and you're somewhere completely different than when it started.

The Enemy AI systems in this are also awful. They just spawn directly behind you constantly and they don't have much for smarts, just constantly getting themselves killed without the players doing anything, constantly getting stuck or ramming things that aren't the player... and that's jsut the start, the general public AI and friendly AI's aren't much better. The smartest ones are the Snipers because they can at least track the player and pretty much always hit with aimbot.

It's just a huge disappointment. I wanted this to be such a great game like JC3 was, just with weather systems and extra things to play with but man... ya'll messed that up pretty badly and it's just dissapointing.

12 hours played so far and there's still tons I have yet to do! This is a great cozy/chill game that's really fun to play!

One thing I've learned with this game is there is way way more books that start with "The" in the title than I thought.

Also, despite how many books are supposidly in the game, I've only really ever gotten a small handful of the same books over and over again. For example, supposidly one of the books in the game is "I, Robot" and I've not once seen it, same with "Dune" or even "Dracula" but I've seen their own fake book called "Hélène" about 1000 times so far. I feel like it may just be something funky with their systems for it but be prepared to see the same few books 100's of times and every once in a while you may see something different

For how long this game has been out and how it looks and plays, I cannot reccommend this one. At least not without friends and/or getting it on sale.

I've had this game for a long time now, it's a great concept and has plenty of cool vehicles and is still being updated but past that it just feels... awful.

The visuals are honestly awful. The screenshots and videos that are shown make it look decent but I've not once been able to get it to look like that. There's not a lot of video settings and the few that there is are pretty limited, some are grayed out and with everything set to the best I can set it to, it's blurry/pixlated and so so so laggy.

Past the visuals, the gameplay/control feels super sluggish and unresposive. While there's a lot of nice features like being able to use your signal lights (which may seem small but so many games just don't even allow the use of them) trying to walk around, look around and interact with some things just doesn't feel great. It feels like a game that I would expect to have come out in 2010.

The main thing for me however is just the optimization, it's in desprate need of being optimized better and I really hope the devs will work on that if they haven't been already. I really want to love this game because being able to choose between EMS, Firefighter and Police along with being able to play with friends and role play is great but you can barely have any npc vehicles/pedestians on the map without having massive lag and poor frame rate, even on a very powerful PC.

For a casual player who just wants to mess around with friends in a GTA-like way then it's a decent option but I feel like it falls short on what it really wants to be and being able to run decently. Had this came out in 2010 it would have been really good, but this came out in 2023 (pretty sure even earlier, I think played it back in 2022 or even 2021) there's no real excuse for how it's currently running and looking. I'm not expecting it to look like Red Dead Redemtion or anything but I should be able to see plenty of people walking down the street and cars driving by along with actually being able to see down the road without lagging massively and textures just not loading in properly at all.

That being said, I'm glad to see this game is still getting updates and I do hope the devs will work on optimizing the game more and improving gameplay! There's still a lot of promise and room to grow for this game and hopefully with all the devs have learned over the years they'll be able to improve the game to become a true simulation masterpiece!

So far this has been an awesome game/police simulator but it's not without its issues and jank.

I may only have 4h in this so far but it's been sucking me in and I'm loving the game. Gameplay feels good, there's a lot of variation in crime, patrols and police options. However...

The jank is very noticeable when it hits. Most of the time it's just with the AI both friedly, civ and foe. Civillians wont pull over far enough when you have sirens on. When you pull someone over in car they stop dead in the street blocking the road way. When other officers come to assist they dont even try to keep themselves alive, they just run staright into gunfire or traffic often getting themselves killed. And Kelly... Oh my boy Kelly... He's basically a Labrador or Golden Retiver in human form. He's doing his best I guess but Idk how he made it this long in life. Running around with his gun out most of the time, not helping really when it comes to arrest or stoping suspects. For example if there's a burgulary in progress with 2 suspects, he just stays with me stopping one suspect while the other gets away instead of chasing him down. So almost every tiem I've done one of those missions, I only ever get 1 of the 2 suspects. But, he certainly tries and is helpful when he decides to be instead of running in circles not getting into the vehicle.

If the AI gets improved it would be even better but overall it's an addicting game and pretty much what I've wanted from a game for a long time.

Well, it may have taken me over 20 years to actually play this game, but now that I ahve finished it I can say, it's a pretty good star wars game! Definitly shows it's age but through community support such as OpenJO and mods, it can run really good, even on linux, and play's pretty good. It has a lot of systems that honestly even todays games can't get right compared to what this game has been able to do. Absolutely worth playing!

I wish Steam had a mixed option for a review. While I've been enjoying the delivering, the driving and atmosphere overall, there's a few things that really bring it down for me right now that I hope will get fixed/worked on/options to change.

The main issues I have are as follows:
- You freeze way too fast when you're outside of your truck or building. Trying to learn the game, barely had the time to figure out drinking an energy drink before I ended up freezing and entering the backrooms (Which is a separate thing I'm not a fan of). As I've learned about it and progressed the story to activating the radio towers, trying to get up the second one I immediately started to freeze and died again.
- View distance is a bit too small for my liking, at least in the snowy mountains map.
- The backrooms. As far as I can tell from the description, reviews, game tags and playing, this is not a horror game and yet it has the backrooms which you have to randomly navigate through until you wake up. Why? If there was a way top turn this off, that'd be great. I don't want to navigate this maze that just kills the momentum and fun that I was otherwise having. There may be oddities but I didn't buy this game for horror. psychological or otherwise.
- Camera controls... or the lack there of. I want to be able to control the camera but besides being able to go into first person in the truck and 3rd person, you just have to hope that the game will adjust the camera to what you want to and need to see. There is the "cam.exe" in the menu but that's just a detached camera that seems to be more so for screenshots or a little cinematic camera for like a youtube video. There's been a few times where my truck has gone off my screen and I've had to try and find exactly where it's gone off to blindly or having to activate the cam.exe and try to navigate like that.
- Lastly, this is more so a bug but, you can't seem to turn off the radio. Any time it does allow you to turn it off, it just turns back on immediately.

While those are my main issues with the game, overall so far most things have been good. the driving feels pretty good, maybe a little spongey with the trucks suspension but nothing crazy there, not too long between point and A and B when doing deliveries, characters/npc's are a little quirky but have some life to them, atmosphere overall is good and overall it's satisfying. I think the one other thing missing is just being able to see where you actually are on the map.

Man, what a disappointment. Has all of the worst features that I can think of such as:
- Always online with server queues (Apparently they have 0 intention of ever adding an offline mode which is stupid)
- Despite being always online, it feels like a dead world other than the cars. Other than the starting area and a couple actually fun areas, you wont see any npc skaters. Just very basic npc's walking around and basic cars driving around.
- Tutorial that makes the player feel like they're 2 years old and has never touched a single game in their life. With bonus pop-up text boxes and the tutorial itself takes what feels like forever to get through as even once you're into the main map you still have to do endless tutorials with as far as I'm aware no way to skip them or turn them off so you can just play.
- Screens that constantly take you out of the gameplay for no reason other then to make the player upset. Every time you level up, unlock something or complete a mission you will be forced into a screen that is just not needed and could easily be a pop-up at the top of the screen or to the side of the screen for a few seconds before dismissing. Sometimes you'll even have like 3-6 screens in a row that aren't skip-able and have no need of being there such as the "Congratulations" screen that's on basically every action you do.
- Loot boxes (Which does have at least one nice thing of once you get something from the lootbox, you wont have to worry about getting it a second time. So once you've unlocked everything from it, you're good. But it's still random and still a lootbox.)
- Missing moves and abilities that have been in skate games from almost 20 years ago
- Constant hand-holding
- Voice lines that make 0 sense in any capacity other than a corporate shill capacity in which this game is. People don't talk the way the narrator-mission-characters do, especially with a lot of the words/"slang" they use that you'd never hear in a normal conversation.
- So many bugs that aren't fun bugs. It may be 'early access' but a lot of the bugs I've seen have no excuse for what company this is (Specifically that they've got the money and people that this should never have been released yet).
- Microtransactions for absolutely nothing of worth. (I really hope that if BF6 is truthful in what they want to do and keeps grounded that it will improve other games such as this one by removing the microtransactions)
- I'm sure there's more but this has already taken up enough unwanted space in my brain as is.

Are there any pro's to this game?
A few very small things such as:
- It's modern-kinda
- Map is well enough designed
- Kinda like that you can climb things similar to assassin's creed but that's more so just a personal like
- Character customisation is alright overall imo, not super extra with a bunch of unneeded details like some other games EA has recently released but also not too lacking either.
- It's on PC.

I, like many others, have wanted a Skate 4 for years. Skate 3 was a great game overall with a few quirks and limitations but overall is still enjoyable and playable to this day. But this game just ain't it. Whose to say they wont shut down this game at the end of the year permanently because of their own terrible decisions and refusal to give players what they have been asking for for the last 15 years.

The game has improved a lot since I had first played the game in mid-late 2023. Besides some small quirks still and the lack of places to travel to (so far afaik. I've only just sunk 7h into it and it may still open up more, especially if I do more of the main quest) it's a fantastic game from the original creators of Prison Architect that already has much better systems, controls and time controls compared to that game while being easier in some ways and harder in others making a fun and not too punishing experience!

The main issues and things I'd love to see changed/fixed is short and sweet of:
- Allow turning off the auto camera rotation with the ship
- Toggling the walls you're looking at so you can see behind them better similar to the sims (I know there's schematic mode but sometimes I just want to see things without having to toggle that on)
- More options for certain jump locations (Essentially, so far for some things like the gas collector, you usually can't jump to an area with gas to collect unless you have a mission in that area making it a limited avenue for revenue/fuel creation. Again, I haven't gotten too far in the story/quest line yet and it may open up but some locations that I had jumped to that were heavy with gas before I completed the mission in that region no longer allow me to travel to those regions which means I'm not currently inclined to keep proceeding with the missions until I feel I've spent long enough at what I want to do)

The game is still in Alpha, currently in Alpha v16 but for what it is currently, it's a very addicting and fun game and I hope the dev's get to finish this awesome game! (And hopefully not involve paradox)

I want to love this game but it has a lot of downsides that ruin it's appeal in its current state.

To name a few:
- Poor movement/camera controls (Feels like it should be in first person or be able to have players move via clicking. Especially noticeable when trying to say access an inventory that you feel you're close enough to and you see a white ring around it and you but you get the message saying you're too far away and yet it feels like you should be able to access it or by clicking it in the ring you'd at least walk to the storage automatically)

- Not enough options for volume (The robots voice are jarring/sharp and only turn down with the sfx slider)

- Missing visual/audio queues when something is happening. (When you get the flying drone unlocked, you have the option for upgrades or for expeditions. When you click on expeditions, you can see the drone fly off and nothing else really happens but it completely locks your movement and camera controls for about 3 seconds until it shows you the expeditions map. I thought it was bugged at first because with nothing really telling me what's going on, I figured the drone was just going to do an expedition itself for a while and eventually come back with resources while I continued on my way clearing things.)

- No visual for some important items/hand tools (for example the drill tool, I must have walked past it 100x within an hour of playing not once having seen that it was on a box, where as some of the other tools I had gotten the game would put a marker on it.)

- Additionally to the above point, there's no option to highlight certain items to help you find them so if you're looking for say a pipe you'll have to hover over every single thing until you see it appear on your cursor or unless you know what you're looking for.

- Character customisation is minimal with most appearance changes unlocking as you progress which in that regard isn't bad but there's no adjusting your character to how you may want to look outside of all the presets and default body shape.

- A lot of the recipes/blueprints, especially early on are very cumbersome and take a long time to either find the resources for or actually transport. And if something is in a storage crate near by (say like 4 tiles away) you can't just fill in a recipe from it, at least not from the workbench so far, even after upgrading it once too, but from some other workstations you can with no upgrades and it just doesn't make sense.

- Lastly from my dislikes so far, there's not much for decoration early on and thus not much for cosiness.


Now, the game isn't all bad, I know what I've listed so far is negative but for what it is as a game. The visual design is fantastic, the idea of a cosiness scale/slider that can be changed at any time is great, the bot designs and characteristics are cute and unique, and some of the buildings are fun like the bot recharging station as shown in the pictures. Unfortunately, I just don't think this game was ready for a full release but I hope the devs will continue working on and updating this game to bring it up to the cosy level it claims to be and wants to be at.

If you're expecting a snowrunner/mudrunner game, this isn't that. However, this is a more accessible version for a more diverse player base with a more direct and easier to follow mission/world setup. This game isn't without its issues but compared to the beta, it's a lot smoother now and seems to run much better and doesn't have the random black boxes that appeared with AMD graphics cards.

This game isn't trying to be super realistic and it's not trying to be super fake either. It's like an entry level game to snowrunner/mudrunner where there is some difficult terrain and chances of getting stuck but that isn't this games focus, this game has a much bigger focus on missions and being able to shape the world how you want it though building roads and getting supplies.

The controls are a bit clunky but aren't horrible, I've certainly dealt with worse and somethings are a bit slow to use, mainly the cranes.

I am still fairly early on and taking my time with the game to really understand it and figure out the good, the bad and the ugly with it. My opinion isn't set in stone but so far I haven't found that a lot of the negative reviews are fitting/fair on this game. There's definitely some that are warranted such as it apparently not working on Linux with proton, the issue with data collection and the clunky-ness plus some potential crashing/stuttering issues for some people. But overall, I'd say this is a good easy to get into game for a broader audience, especially for those who may have grown up with the old Tonka games as kids like myself.
