The best comments
The demo was good, the good couple of hours killed puzzles.
Let’s see what else can be offered
I hope to see her in the refund.
History goes in a circle I look. The problem of quests with the maximum spectrum of freedom is the imagination of the player. I have my own logic and ash stump developers will not be able to provide all the options that I want to apply. That is why the quests evolved towards simplicity: do not give the player the spaciousness for alternative solutions as much as possible or put it to search by hints. So from “Enter the Word of Action” and “You Available 12 Actions and 101 Subject in the Inventory” The quests were limited to one action and inspection. And not to say that it’s bad. If the design is competent, then such limitedness is almost upset.
But there is a reverse example: the last games about Sherlock Holmes, and the last part of “Chapter one” I especially hate. You give huge locations, a bunch of NPCs, a bunch of action crutches to create the illusion of the scale of the AAA-project and the “deep” detective part of the crutches and the solutions. But when it comes to a deductive table on which you can blame an innocent person, I can’t check my guesses, because the developers did not give and did not provide for my course of thoughts. I can check the hunch just by asking the NPC about it – but no. And now this is truly infuriated.
A great solution to the problem has been invented for a long time: limited space. Either the murder on the train Alya Poiro, or one ship like in Return of the Obra Dinn. But here the action in the whole city happens, which suggests that the author will not be able to cover all the freedom that the players can come up with.
Well, in general, given such a huge stream of games in our time, it is unlikely that the eminent developers “accidentally” found Haydenzha on the day the game was released. Most likely the creator simply asked to promote their game.
Visual of the game, of course, crazy.
How many games with the same inexpressive graphics die in the abyss of oblivion every day.
It’s clear. The developer has at least 15 friends and sympathetic colleagues in the workshop: D
