Flood of Light reviews

Translated by
Microsoft from Russian
According to the Revelation book, which is shared on a cloud server, one day Hope city will swallow the Flood, and people will leave the doomed city. But This will be followed by the Wrangler in the human guise. He will bring eight Pedestals out of hibernation and deliver all the robots to the disposal. And What would you think? The Holy scripture of the Church of Robotics is a verb of truth. All the sources of the Great Abyss Unfolded, and the windows of Heaven opened. Poured on the ground raining forty days and forty nights. And here in the city descends the Messiah in the classic image of a mysterious, silent girl to put everything in place. This Girl is a master of puzzle solving. After joining, it gets into the interactive menu-the roof of the skyscraper, which overlooks the sunken city. With the help of the elevator we drive from level to level and carry out drainage works. Holding the left mouse button, the heroine rips the lumps of light from the lanterns and lamps. Holding the right, illuminates the dark corners of the streets. The Gameplay consists of collection and distribution. The Main task is to ignite the magic monoliths and to lower the water level. The girl's Abilities are not obvious, but strictly limited. For Example, The collected lights cannot be used one at a single. They fly to the specified side of the whole Vataga and surround the lantern as a flock of fireflies. Dividing the light into portions is like cutting a porridge with a knife. The Lesson is strange, requiring patience and skill. In the second half of the game begins to abuse the non-refundable puzzles, when one mistake makes replay the whole sequence. And closer to the finals, the freedom of action becomes a bit intimidating. Sometimes It is difficult to understand whether you are following the logic of the game or trying to break the level of your own. Not sure, plus it or minus. In General, the mechanics complement and complicate each other well. The Problems of electrification smoothly evolve throughout the passage, stimulate the imagination and force the planning of actions ahead. Each level has a soft, peaceful rustle of a never-ending shower. In unison with him sounds melancholic piano. It's As if the weather-intoxicated pianist plays for empty rooms and halls while the night rain is in the window. Unobtrusive, wandering music and sound effects make the player out of the world and do half the atmosphere of the game. The Other half responds with a visual style. Imagine a fantastic metropolis, where skyscrapers are piled on each other, trying to reach the sky. Then let the flood sweep out of it all the dirt and slush, all traces of human presence. Hope City is always beautiful and geometrically perfect. Its offices, galleries, railway stations, factories are filled with simplicity and elegance. But there is in them and some depression, fatigue, created subdued color gamut and unnatural absence. Rare trees with crimson crowns cut into the palette of pale midtones with bright flashes of life. A girl-Heroine slips from the screen to the screen, like a ghost surrounded by wandering lights. Glides, however, somewhat clumsy and mechanically. But If you do not squint, a beautiful illusion will remain in place. On the levels of hiding robots with cute monitors. They explain to us the logic of the game mechanic, speculate on the subject of religion and move forward the story. The Story in the game is. And not just a tick. It is surprisingly complicated and confusing. Our friends-robots will tell us a Pleasant and digestible part. And everything else can be read in letters on the city terminals. Diary entries are translated into English from Chinese. Diligent, but a little awkward. The Choice of individual words and their strange application force stumble upon reading. There are no Mistakes. They Just make the backstory even more intricate than planned. However, the priority is always the gameplay, and the level of difficulty adjusts to the desires of the player. The Basic tasks do not cause acute headaches. But if you want to make a couple of new wrinkles, try to light all the decorative lamps with spiral wicks. Finally, the statistics take into account the number of actions at each level. And If for some nontrivial reasons you need a treasured S-rank, you can always try to put the game mat in the shortest possible time. The Mobile roots of the game are visible at a glance. But It is adequately adapted to the PC. It's nice To watch, it's fun to play. And her humble price tag she works out completely.
