Hakumori Natsu held his notebook and let out a smirk there.
She has been flipping through the media reviews for a day and never gets tired of watching them.
"The Lost Secrets" has received countless positive reviews in the media, and this perfect score review released by IGN has completely ignited online public opinion.
"By Maranda SΓ‘nchez β April 3, 2019"
"During the dozen or so hours of playing The Lost Realm, I occasionally felt a sense of trance, and when I looked away from the psychedelic scenery of the Lope Mountains (where the game was set) and looked at the high-rise buildings that were close by, a feeling of being away from life arose. These few hours of playtime made me forget where I was and brought all my spirit into the adventure of the game. β
"As the name suggests, the fictional Lope Mountains in the game are like a hidden place outside of this world, and people want to see it unconsciously."
"In this game with almost no plot, the beautiful scenery of the Lope Mountains activates the adventure genes hidden deep in the human body, and the author is immersed in this environment shrouded in strange scenery, allowing the most primitive desire to explore to drive his actions, trying to find the secrets hidden in the unknown depths."
"The first impression of this game is the stunning level of detail, and the technical prowess of Future Oasis in terms of graphics programming makes people forget that this is a newly formed indie game development team. We keep a close eye on technological innovations or graphical breakthroughs in the gaming world, but I almost never rate the technical value of indie games because we have very little expectation of indie games. β
"But 'The Lost Realm' is an accident, and Future Oasis has stood on the cusp of the times since its birth, trying to lead the development direction of game technology. The game's stunning graphics are a microcosm of the game's technology, with stunning physics and a chemical engine and rich game system that explain the game's maturity. You may be able to find similar systems in other games, but the systems and concepts work almost perfectly in this game and are naturally integrated into your every move. β
"Another masterpiece of the High Freedom Sandbox game, Lost Secrets, is simple and straightforward: climb the ruins in the middle of the Lope Mountains to find the lost treasure. There are no other missions along the way, you can choose your adventure route almost arbitrarily, and you can go anywhere you can see. β
Such a design may not be unusual today, but as mentioned earlier, the perfect functioning of the game system and the design of the right benefits make the process fun and challenging. Theoretically, there is no significant difference in difficulty between the hundreds of playthroughs, but the experience for players is very different. You can choose the shortest but dangerous route, or you can choose a quiet, gentle but time-consuming route. β
"The game's developers have perfectly integrated the puzzle elements into each level, and in the course of the game, these levels merge with those fantastic scenery, and every attraction that will amaze you is a difficult point for you to conquer, and in order to get through these places, you have to make the right items, choose the right route and even wait for a suitable time. There are many ways to pass through each place, and every new discovery is a new surprise. β
"It's an adventure, not a trip β if you want to take a leisurely look at the Lope Mountains, you're probably going to fall through."
"A survival game-like survival system is added to the game, and from the first moment you enter the Lope Mountains, you'll have to face a huge problem to survive in this place that hides countless dangers."
"The passing time and the increasing pressure of survival bring a huge sense of oppression, and the tension follows you in the process of adventure. The game's survival stress curve does a good job of making you nervous but not overwhelmed, and it makes it clear that you're on a unique adventure like you've never been before, rather than a leisurely trip. β
"Challenge mode, a challenge called Extreme - Lost Secret still has the limitations of an indie game, and the short process is a big regret of the game. But that doesn't mean you can't invest more time in this game, at least the amount of time I spent on the challenge mode is several times as long as the time I spent on clearing the game for the first time. β
"In Challenge Mode, you need to fully stimulate your desire to survive. In normal mode, you are a well-prepared adventurer, and in challenge mode, you are a hungry refugee with nothing. Hunger, cold, lack of tools, and the stress of the survival system multiply in Challenge Mode, making levels that could have been easily passed become insurmountable. β
"I think the challenge mode is the essence of Lost Mysteries, and you can get a completely different experience. The strong desire to survive makes you squeeze every bit of your potential, and you need to learn to use everything you can. The randomness and logic of the game's presence, as well as the open-ended combat system, make each challenge very different. β
"You can encounter many impressive scenes, such as on a cold night, when you are not replenished by lack of food, and you choose to fight to the death in the face of a hungry wolf. As you search around the corner, make a tool that allows you to pass through obstacles, and step into what should be safe, you find a mutated beast patrolling its territory. β
"Of course, no game is perfect. The in-game music is one of the great regrets of The Lost Realm, and the beauty of the Lope Mountains doesn't get the grandiose music to match. Although compensated for by a well-designed design, the short process reflected the development team's resource constraints. β
"But the surprising graphics and the perfectly functioning game system and the game's open-world design make The Lost Realm an unexpected masterpiece. It inspires a desire to explore that is rooted in the human soul and immerses one in this amazing adventure in the Lope Mountains. β
"10 points, masterpiece."
Bai Senxia saw Su Li coming over, and said excitedly: "Hehe, we are really hot this time." β
"The Lost Secrets" has invested very little in publicity, but several media reviews have ignited the first heat of "The Lost Secrets", and this heat has turned into a raging fire with the calmness of the IGN 10 score review.
Major game forums and game media have reprinted and published the latest perfect score review from this article written by Maranda Sanchez and published on IGN's official website.
At this moment, the flames are blazing.
