Toad 最近的评测

Saying I’m disappointed would be an incredible understatement.

Six years in, and Kinetic Games has decided to overhaul the speed of gameplay, add animations that look like they were pulled from a Garry’s Mod server, and dress it all up with customization options that were hyped for months and delivered almost nothing. This is what (at least?) half a year of development time bought us.

The immediate community backlash and subsequent rollback of much of the animation work tells you everything you need to know about how much testing went into this before it shipped. You don’t reverse course that fast on a major update unless you knew, or should have known, it wasn’t ready.

What makes this so frustrating is that this team is genuinely talented at the things that made Phasmophobia great. The maps are beautiful. The ghost design is consistently excellent. That’s a formula that could carry this game for another decade if they committed to it. Instead they burned months chasing an overhaul nobody asked for and executed it poorly enough to need damage control on launch day.

Hire people who specialize in animation and gameplay feel. Focus on what you’re actually good at. The audience for this game is loyal and patient, but that patience has a limit.

Extremely disappointing to have to give this game a negative review.

Awesome :)
