HAMSTERMIND

Немножко неказистая технически, но в целом хорошая головоломка с разнообразными механиками (почти все показаны в трейлере и на скриншотах) и двойным дном. Первая часть игры, где-то до 130% прогресса, — откровенна, линейна и проста, рекомендую смело любителям. Ко второй части подходите с осторожностью, потому что сложность в ней возрастает одномоментно и кратно: к привычным лабиринтам скарабеев и вращению платформ подключаются криптоанализ и метазадачи, элементы которых выходят за пределы механик игры. В описании это скромно назвали «секретными уровнями», но прохождение до первых титров у меня заняло меньше пяти часов, а вот настоящее, полное прохождение занимает до шестидесяти по заверению разработчиков. Я намеренно заспойлерил себе содержание «секретного» контента и решил, что не хочу нырять в кроличью нору, но хочу рассказать в отзыве о том, что она есть. Своих денег игра стоит в любом случае.

On the first look - game looks like some kind of boring mobile game with naive puzzles. But a bit later - difficulty grows up to the level, when u can say - they are interesting enough. Then - some wall hints let u know, there's more stuff in the game - and that's the kind of stuff which adds blue-prince \ tunic \ talos "global-like" puzzles. That's definetely a decent game, they can be proud of.. Price is absolutely friendly - accorind to experinece we've got. Game got streamed to 2 friends for some co-op level (and "global" puzzles) solving, which took 30 hours total. (And yeah.. a bit of google was taken :|

TL;DR: If you are an achiever, do not buy this game or be ready for pain. If you want some fun puzzle game, give it a try. I have to admit I was actually hipped for this game when the demo came out... but then I started playing and the level difficulty spike went off the roof at some point. Like I had to restart countless time the same level that was supposed to be as hard as the previous one which was of the same difficulty level. And then comes the "end games" stuff: the 213% which to be honest was a very big pain because the clues were too shady and the resolution was (in my opinion) too complex to be a real actual solution. I had to bruteforce many times the different solutions and I had to find the ONLY walkthrough online to actually solve some of them. I think your puzzles in the end would require some rework or at least some explaining in their clues. And regarding the translation table, this one would require a lot more "easier" first steps to actually make sure we understand the pattern. Anyway, It was a real pain to try to achieve this one and it kinda ruined the experience overall for me. In comparison, Tunic had a better way to show clues for the endgames mysteries
