My lamp lights a horrible light in a dark bathroom. My head aches from the convulsions, my face is high and tightly bound. I often wonder if there will be anything left in our country where thunderstorms and thunderstorms will rise at sunrise tomorrow. The Old Gods are awakening, and the secret to stopping them can simply lie in the face of three stools lying on the ground.
This is just one of several situations players will be invited to explore there The World comes in early The smoke tomorrow. The monochrome entertainment game has been highly anticipated since it first made its debut in 2016, and for several years and demos later, it is finally available to the public in full.
The World it is a force of evil influences. It neatly combines the atmosphere that doesn't care about HP. Lovecraft & # 39; s Cthulhu mythology in the Macabre style of Japanese artist Junji Ito, but fans of all senses will be able to choose other myths. For example, another example, when a player goes through a forest in search of a lost crew Blair Witch Project. One is about finding the victim of a massacre after a series of massacres that have erased, exactly like the basis of Clock tower. There is also a nice Shiba Inu running the main item store, just like something funny Silence the Drum the end.
The first time you open it The World, you will they are lost. It's like looking at Azathoth's elite and daring to shrink. But this is about building. In honor of classic game designs on old school platforms like PC-98, The World throws more details at you right away. Its graphics are simple – if everything is built into MS Paint, you won't be too crazy – with numbers cracking the screen, separated by separate windows. While this can be minimized a bit by tweaking the colors and choosing between different palettes, something gamers will need is just getting used to.
The narrative between The World it is not clear. Rumors of looted numbers, disgusting creatures, and the regeneration of the Old Gods drive the player to investigate strange events in the city. Each play is made up of a very serious tragedy caused by some old abomination and five random mysteries that must be solved before entering the front lighthouse which serves as the main goal of the game. In this way, The World it acts as a kind of pseudo-roguelike, presenting the player with a completely new experience every time they start to sail.
This default is only announced by a random combination of multiple events that can occur in all stages of the investigation. In another attempt, I died within 10 minutes of bringing a man whose face was as shiny as a lost computer. For one thing, I had been playing for over an hour when my character finally succumbed to their increasing humiliation in a foreign land. I am yet to open the spaces that prevent me from coming out of the lighthouse.
Don't get me wrong –The World it is difficult. Enemies hit hard and cool stuff is hard. But many of my mistakes can be attributed to the number of choices that can get me through the tunnel vision. Depending on the situation, your character will be thrown into the city with a vague idea of where to look next. No matter where you go, the whole district is open, from the apartment building where the player's character rests between the exits to the out-of-town building. At first, it seems like being straight to the goal is the way to go, but after a little bit of playing, the importance of exploration becomes apparent. Walking into the next joint fitted with a powerful knife and supported by the hardships of space from the twins is amazing for your survival.
The fight is similarly defined. Although there is a travel number limit that can apply everywhere, the pool the player chooses is huge. Do you want to attack? OK, with your fist or weapon? Light or heavy? Want to adjust your attack in advance to improve its accuracy? Or close it a little to hurt it more? How about looking for a new weapon? Dodging? Blocked? Praying for some life? Hey man, we haven't reached the spell yet! And feel free to bend and bend at random looking for a secret combination that does something cool. I only scratched the surface of my skill The World, but as I get closer to a more crowded place, I have found myself clinging to simpler tactics than getting under difficulties because of the crippling number of options the game offers.
The World it's at its best when it throws a player into the end zone, such as a high school in the dark or a large awake house. It is in these situations, where you are not allowed to leave the immediate area until the mission is completed, that the game feels like an adventure. Instead of jumping from purpose to goal in the space set up at the top of the next piece, you will be looking for the elements needed to perform an air-conditioning or observance event on a tight schedule within just a few rooms. This helps the machines differentiate themselves and get under the big slogan, and I hope the developers add a lot of these experiences. The World in future updates.
What is really creative The World special items. Watching the world deteriorate in every successful endeavor is amazing. Every new situation is wonderful. Monsters are the same and they look beautiful and beautiful at the same time. And not wasting anything, but leave the game shortened for just a few minutes to see what happens when you return. Gameplay on the go now makes the assumption that I can't help capturing a screenshot (or two) with every step I make. The breadth of work that must have gone into making this face of the place and the creatures in it give me a worry to the left. But it is more than paid for; The World like other information in video games, or with a little extra fat. It's familiar and fresh, the ready-made nostalgia I gave exactly what I wanted in a package I never knew was possible.
Oh, and, for my encounter in the bathroom? I won't tell you exactly what I found and what happened there, but after returning to my apartment to finish grime with a quick soap, I was ready for my next adventure. Old Gods will not put themselves back to sleep.
