点评:The next generation of escape rooms honors the roots and traditions.
What do I mean by that?
Three epic 3+hour games over a layout that makes the largest escape rooms seem small in comparison. Whereas most of us have opted for a route of spectacles and tech mastery, Paradox have explored fresh new ways to create padlock based multi layered puzzles that persistently seem fresh and new. They take the core values of traditional room puzzles and multiply them by 20. It is common across their rooms to have to solve multiple puzzles just to be able to open one padlock, every digit seems to be a multilayered puzzle in itself making these games seem so original in their creativity. There is so much heart in these games and the walls almost ooze desire to see teams connect, solve, work together, laugh together and have fun. The team here have absolutely nailed the direction that new escape rooms should be heading down with no fear of breaking the rules to challenge expectation.
Thank you Dimitri and co for grounding me as a game designer to remember where we as an industry we came from and more importantly, where we should be moving to.
翻译:新一代密室逃脱游戏尊重传统,传承经典。
这是什么意思呢?
三个史诗级的、时长超过3小时的游戏,其布局之宏大,甚至让最大的密室逃脱游戏都相形见绌。当大多数人选择追求炫目的视觉效果和高超的技术时,Paradox 却另辟蹊径,探索出以挂锁为基础的多层谜题,这些谜题始终保持着新鲜感。他们将传统密室谜题的核心价值提升了20倍。在他们的游戏中,玩家往往需要解开多个谜题才能打开一把挂锁,每个数字本身似乎就是一个多层谜题,这使得这些游戏在创意上显得独树一帜。这些游戏饱含真情实感,仿佛在诉说着团队合作、解谜、欢笑和享受游戏乐趣的渴望。Paradox 团队精准地把握了新一代密室逃脱游戏的发展方向,他们勇于打破常规,挑战玩家的固有认知。
感谢 Dimitri 和他的团队,让我这个游戏设计师脚踏实地,记住我们这个行业是从哪里来的,更重要的是,我们应该朝着哪个方向发展。
