先说结论:想法是好的,但是上升空间巨大。主要是缺打磨缺经费缺Eureka moment。评价为大杯,值得一玩,可以期待下一部作品。 用AI的想法真的很好,在推理的最后一步自己写出答案比幸运四选一爽太多了。不过普通的询问还是得靠出示证物,打字根本没用,当然这也避免了开局一通瞎猜就通关了的尴尬。AI的判定和机制还略欠调教,用带点引导性的话术,npc就会自爆。谜题和神秘侧的能力设计中规中矩。遗憾的是还缺点想象力,没什么让人直呼woc的设计、诡计或反转,大多数都很好猜。反派的动机不错,人设立住了,不过身份和目的也很好猜。剧情上最后主角做出的选择很能打动人,好评。不过别的细节上就有很多槽点欠合理化打磨。 可能我对这个作品的期待太高了吧,毕竟它用了某知名IP的部分魔药体系和背景。这或许不是一个好选择。既然借鉴了,就一定会被比较,而原作小说各方面都太强了,后来者很难在人物、情节、世界观甚至解谜性上超越它,只能从游戏特有的交互性、分支剧情和多结局这方面下功夫,而这对于小体量、小制作的游戏来说很难。而且原作很大程度上限制了后来者的想象力,容易变得套路化。(比如第四章某角色的身份一出来我就猜到ta可能是个滋味不错的) 不过作为原作粉丝,还是很高兴看到这个世界观下的作品。不知道会不会出续作?
