Bastion yayiyinto ekhethekileyo. Izihloko zetyala lishishini elinobungozi, kodwa umphuhlisi weSupergiant Imidlalo wayeyazi ngokucacileyo into abayenzayo. Lo mdlalo wawunayo yonke into: ubugcisa obunomtsalane, ukubalisa amabali, kunye nomdlalo weqonga ophezulu (ungasathethi ke ngengoma yesandi engashiyanga i-iPod yam kwiminyaka emibini). Yankqonkqoza iikawusi zam, kwaye izinto endandizilindele ekulandeleleni kwayo zazingezantsi.
Ndixelele umhlobo endiwujongayo Inguqu , kwaye wayefuna ukwazi ukuba iyafana nomntakwabo omdala. Njengaye, ngoluhlobo lokujonga esikolweni esidala, kwaye loo mfo obalisa? Ewe kubo bobabini, kodwa ngaphandle kweenkcukacha ezimbalwa, i-POV kunye nelogan Cunningham yengubo efudumeleyo yelizwi apho ukufana Bastion isiphelo. Oko kukuthi, ngaphandle kwento enye: Inguqu , nayo, ibalasele.
Siqala kwisixeko saseCloudbank, isixeko esikhulu se-cyberpunk. Le yindawo yombala kunye nokuhombisa, apho iiholo zekonsathi ezimiliselwe ziyacwengeka ecaleni kwemijelo ethambileyo kunye nendawo ephuphayo yokuhamba esibhakabhakeni esibhakabhakeni. Umculo kukudibanisa ngokugqibeleleyo, ucebisa ngendawo apho zombini ubuhle kunye nobuhle bezinto eziphilayo buhambelana kunye. Umlawuli wezobugcisa UJen Zee kunye nomqambi Ibhasikidi kaDarren bafanele iimfumba zokudumisa umhlaba abawubeke apha, kwaye ndingafuna ukunyibilika kuwo ukuba bekungekho ngengozi yokuwuqhekeza. I-Cloudbank ijongene nokuhamba ngokungenalusini kweNkqubo, isinyibilikisi setekhnoloji esibhala ngaphezulu kwesixeko. Inkqubo ilawulwa yiCamerata engabonakaliyo, abanombono wabo we-Cloudbank. Enye yeethagethi zabo nguRed, imvumi edumileyo, ethi izifumane iphangiwe lilizwi. Sidibana naye ngobona busuku bubi ebomini bakhe, wahanjiswa edolophini ngekrele lebhodi yesekethe engakwazanga ukumbulala. Ihlala nzulu kwisibunu esishwabeneyo sendoda, umntu oBomvu wayazi kakuhle. Ikrele ngoku liphethe konke okuseleyo kuye. Esi siTransistor, isixhobo esoteric esinokufumana umkhondo wabo ubabuleleyo. Ndikunye nomlingane wakhe omtsha esandleni, oBomvu abachithi xesha ekulweni. Usika ingubo yakhe engeke yenzeke, anike ibhatyi yendoda efileyo, abambe isithuthuthu, azingele abahlaseli bakhe. Le yidolophu yakhe, dammit.
Olubomvu liqhawekazi eliqinileyo (kwaye ndiza kubuyela kuye kungekudala), kodwa eyona nkwenkwezi ilapha ngumlo. Yinkqubo ye-hybrid, umtshato ongenakulindeleka phakathi kwe-real-time hack 'n slash kunye ne-based-based strategy. Ayinashishini elilungileyo njengoko linjalo-kwaye ngoku.
Xa umlo uqala, oBomvu ubiyelwe ngaphakathi, akakwazi ukubaleka ebaleni. Akukho ndawo yoyiswa. Ukhululekile ukubaleka ajikeleze i-whaling kwizinto (xa i-cooldown ivumela, ewe) ade avunyelwe ukuthatha ithuba. Kulapho izinto zilunga khona. Ixesha liyayeka, igridi iyavela, kwaye izandi zokulwa ziyanyibilika, zithathelwe indawo kukungcungcutheka okubomvu kukaRed. Kule ndawo, umdlali unamaxesha onke emhlabeni ukwenza imephu kwizenzo zikaRed. Zoba indlela yakhe ejikeleze iintshaba zakhe, qalisa ukubanakho apha, okunye phaya. Nje ukuba yonke into imiswe kakuhle, shaya nje indawo yesithuba kwaye ubukele ukubhabha kwakhe. Ukuhamba kunye nokuhamba phakathi kobundlobongela obunobundlongondlongo kunye nokucwangciswa okuzolileyo kuyalahlekisa, kuyimvumelwano. Andikwazi ukuthi ndakhe ndadlala nantoni na efana nayo.
Inkqubo yezakhono yahlukile ngokulinganayo. Njengoko uqhubeka kwi-Cloudbank, iRed idibana neNkqubo yamaxhoba ashiya ngasemva ubuchule bokulwa obunokufakwa kwikrele. Olubomvu unokuba nezakhono ezine kuphela ezisebenzayo ngexesha, kodwa nantsi indawo eyonwabisayo: Nawaphi na amandla angasetyenziswanga anokuxhotyiswa njengokuhlaziywa. Ukukhubazeka, umzekelo, sisenzo esiqhelekileyo se-melee, ngelixa iPurge inamandla okonakalisa ixesha elingaphezulu. Ukuba ubeka i-Crash njengendawo yokulwa esebenzayo kwaye usebenzise iPurge njengokuhlaziya, i-DOT yongezwa kumonakalo osisiseko seCrash. Kodwa ukuba useta iPurge njengamandla asebenzayo kunye nokuSebenzisa njengoPhuculo njengophuculo, isiphumo sahluke kwaphela-i-DOT ngoku ikwabeka neethagethi. Yonke into ephuculweyo ye-combo ine-flavour yayo, kwaye okunokwenzeka kuyanxila. Ungatshintsha ii-combos nangaliphi na indawo yokugcina, kwaye iindawo zokuziqhelanisa zifumaneke kuso sonke isixeko, zikunike indawo ekhuselekileyo yokucinga kunye nokuzama. Lo ayisiyonto ilula yokufumana ulwakhiwo olulungileyo. Le alchemy. Le yiLeGO. Zama into, uyichithe, uqale kwakhona. Kwaye musa ukuba bhetyebhetye xa sele ufumene indawo yakho emnandi. Isohlwayo sokuphulukana nayo yonke i-HP yakho yilahleko yexeshana yenye yezinto ozenzayo. Ayikushiyeli unqamleze kuphela ngexesha lomlo othile, kodwa ngekhe ubenakho ukufikelela kobo buchule de utyelele inani elifunekayo lokugcina amanqaku. Oku kuthetha ukuba kuya kufuneka uyazi yonke into kwibhokisi yezixhobo zakho kwaye uguquguquke ngokwaneleyo ukutshintsha isicwangciso kaninzi. Inguqu ayikhuthazi ubuchule ekulweni, yiyo ifuna yiyo. Umvuzo wokunyuka kolo celomngeni awuzisi kuphela kukoneliseka komdlalo wokudlala, kodwa nakwibali ngokunjalo. Ngalo lonke ixesha usebenzisa indibaniselwano entsha yezakhono, uvula iiprofayili zomlinganiswa ohambelana nazo. Ngokwenza ubuchule kubuchule bakho, ufunda ngakumbi ngabo bakunike zona-kubandakanya ilizwi ngaphakathi kwekrele, kunye nomfazi olisebenzisayo.
Ukuya kumdlalo, bendisazi ukuba oBomvu ngumntu ophambili ongathethiyo kwaye ikrele lonke liyathetha. Khange ndikhathazeke yile nto, ngokuchanekileyo, kodwa bendinomdla wokubona ukuba umlinganiswa oBomvu uza kuza njani kwaye nendlela enamandla phakathi kwakhe nezixhobo / umbalisi oza kudlala ngayo. Impendulo, ndonwabile ukuyithetha, intle kakhulu. Olubomvu ngumfazi wakhe, kwaye ngokumangalisayo, ukungabikho kwelizwi kwenza iimvakalelo zakhe zibonakale ngakumbi. Ngokwesiqhelo, abalinganiswa abaziintloko bathule bazenza basebenzise iintshukumo ezenziwa ngumdlali, kodwa Inguqu idlula ngaphaya koko. Ewe, ufumana ingqiqo yokuba ngubani oBomvu kwindlela adanisa ngayo ngeenxa zonke kwiintshaba zakhe, kodwa ukho ngakumbi kwizinto azenzayo ayenzi yenza. Ikrele inokuba lilizwi lokoqobo apha, kodwa iRed isenayo iarhente epheleleyo. Amaxesha apho abonisa khona into enye aze enze enye andinike eyona nto ndiyicaceleyo ukuba ungubani-unomsindo, ubuhlungu, umphefumlo, ukungoyiki.
Oko akuthethi ukuba ubudlelwane phakathi koBomvu kunye nekrele lakhe buchasene. Ngokuchasene noko, iqhina labo lelinye lezona ndawo ndizithandayo zomdlalo. Indoda engaphakathi kwiTransistor liqabane elamkelekileyo, kwaye ukupha kwayo kunye nokuBomvu yinto ebenza baphile bobabini. Yinto engaqhelekanga, ukuba isixhobo sibe liziko leemvakalelo ebalini, kodwa Inguqu Ngewa phantsi ngaphandle kobunzulu ikrele elinika uLubomvu. Kungamagama akhe esiwuqondayo ubungakanani belahleko apha-hayi ilizwi likaRed kunye nomzimba wakhe, kodwa Cloudbank kunye nobomi obuchume apho. Ikrele likhusela ngokuBomvu, kodwa ibali likhulu ngakumbi ngokusindisa kwakhe kunenye indlela ejikeleze. Isixhobo esibulalayo esibomvu ukusisebenzisa ukubuyisa umzi waso, kuko konke ukungathi sína, eyona ndawo isengozini yomdlalo. Ubomvu bubulungisa; ikrele luthando.
Ngelixa uninzi lwengxelo yomdlalo lwalugxile ngokupheleleyo, iincwadana zeencwadi zazilapho ndaye ndalahleka khona. Kwisiko elikhulu le-cyberpunk, Inguqu ayilo bali elithe ngqo, kwaye uninzi lwayo luyekelwa ekutolikeni. Ndiyayixabisa loo nto ngoku kunokuba bendisenza xa ndidlala. Umdlalo awuchazi kakuhle izikhonkwane okanye abadlali abaphambili kude kube kufutshane neyure, kwaye ngelixa ndingenanto ngokuchasene nebali elichazwe ngaphandle komyalelo, ndiyavuma ukuba ixesha elibalulekileyo, bendizibuza ukuba ndiphosile into ethile. I-PC yam ibinemicimbi yokusebenza kude kube ngoku, ngenxa yoko ibingaphandle kwendawo enokwenzeka ukuba indawo ebonakalayo ayiphumelelanga ukudlala. Ndiyaqonda ukuba ukungaqondakali kokulandelelana kokuvula kwakuthetha ukuvusa umdla wam-kwaye yenzile-kodwa indlela awasetyenziswa ngayo amagama eendawo kunye nabantu ibonisa ukuba kufanele ukuba sele ndiyazi ukuba babhekisa kubani. Kwakungekho de kube ukusekwa kutyhilwe apho ndaziva ndikhululekile ukuhlala ngaphakathi.
Ngokufanayo, isiphelo luhambo kunye nesiqingatha, ukuphosa ukukhutshwa emva kokutsalwa kuwe ngokulandelelana ngokukhawuleza. Emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa zokuhlafuna kuyo, ndikhetha ukuthanda isiphelo (okanye, ubuncinci, uqikelelo lwam lwento ebiyithetha-ngokuqinisekileyo yimeko ye-origami unicorn). Kodwa ngalo mzuzu ndandididekile, kwaye okomzuzu okanye kunjalo, bendiphambana. Olovakalelo lwasasazeka ngomfanekiso wokugqibela womdlalo, owawundibuyisela kanye emva kokuxakeka. Ndicinga ukuba isenzo sokugqibela besingazuza kwisantya esincinci, ixesha elincinci lezinto zokuntywila. Zonke iziqwenga zikhona, kwaye njengoko ndifumene, zenza ingxoxo emnandi. Ndinqwenela ukuba ngendinayo loo ncoko kunye nomdlalo ngokwawo, endaweni yokuba nabanye bebemangalisiwe ngawo, nabo.
Ngokubanzi, nangona kunjalo, Inguqu yayiyinto entle, enye endiyincomayo kubalandeli beRPG. Ukudlala ibali kwinqanaba lobunzima eliqhelekileyo kundithathe malunga neeyure ezintlanu, kodwa oku akubandakanyi uninzi lwemiceli mngeni yesakhono sokuzikhethela. Emva kokuba uwubethile umdlalo, ukhululekile ukubuyela emva kwaye ubethe yonke into oyiphosileyo (okanye ufuna ukuphinda uyiqwalasele) ngaphandle kokuphinda usete amandla akho, ke maninzi amathuba okuphindaphinda. I-Supergiant ihambise amava asemgangathweni apha, kwaye umnqwazi wam ukhululekile kubo. Kunye Bastion , Bazibonakalisile ukuba banokwenza umdlalo omkhulu. Kunye Inguqu , Abakhange babonakalise kuphela ukuba banokwenza kwakhona, kodwa bazimisele ukwaphula ukungunda.
I-Transistor iyafumaneka kwi-PC (Windows kuphela) kunye ne-PS4.
