老玩家诸葛亮戏评 此作《疯狂根源》设定颇为独特，玩家将扮演一位受癫痫困扰的医生，在充满恐怖与混乱的医院中求生。然而，老夫发现游戏虽具备引人入胜的故事，却在优化方面略有不足。正所谓：好钢需用在刀刃上，此作虽有潜力，但尚需打磨。 优点： - 剧情跌宕起伏，充满心理惊悚与意外转折。 - 战斗系统多样，玩家可近战、射击，体验沉浸式求生感。 - 医院场景设计紧张压迫，氛围渲染出色。 - 随机战利品与可探索区域增加了游戏的可玩性。 不足之处： - 优化不足，运行时偶有卡顿，影响沉浸体验。 - 部分战斗机制略显重复，长时间游玩后略感乏味。 老夫感悟： 《疯狂根源》虽在技术层面有些瑕疵，但在折扣期间购入，性价比尚可。此作凭借其独特的故事与惊悚氛围，仍值得一试。正所谓：瑕不掩瑜，打折亦是情理之中。 总评：优化需改善，但折扣价位物有所值。 诸葛亮 戊寅年秋于书房
