The first night of the release passed.

The popularity of "Into the Mists 2" began to explode the next day after a night of fermentation.

The first to react to the game was the Steam platform's review section, which after one night saw more than 500 positive recommendations, with a positive rating of over 99%.

In the rules of the Steam platform's evaluation of the game, only the account that has purchased the game can evaluate the game, and there are certain requirements for the game time.

In fact, the vast majority of gamers don't pay too much attention to some situations in the game industry, although Su Li's "Into the Fog 2" relied on the trial version to achieve a certain degree of attention in the early stage, but most of this attention is concentrated in some more senior player groups.

The audience for indie games is a niche among gamers, and the people who follow what's going on in the gaming world are even more niche. For most players, they have never heard of such a game, and all they know about it is a text introduction to the game interface, a video, and a few screenshots.

I have to say that the recommendation bit of the steam platform is really powerful. Many games with completely poor quality can be mixed with hundreds or thousands of sales on the platform, and a big reason is that the platform has a new product slot.

This kind of game was almost all of his sales during the time it was released on the shelves.

This time, the Steam platform gives indie games a more prominent and longer recommended position.

"It's one of the most addictive level games I've ever played, with no boring battles, just clever tricks. It's hard to imagine being amazed by this genre after being baptized by an Odyssey, the game's developer is an absolute genius who has mastered levels on par with the top designers. ”

"Is this really an indie game? Aside from the slight roughness that I was able to get from the game's art, the rest of the work was perfect. Considering that the developer of this game is not a small indie game workshop, but only one person, I can't believe that anyone can do such a game alone. ”

"Every chapter is a surprise. Although the flow of the game is not long, such surprises are carried out throughout the game. When you think you know the whole game, the game's designers will jump out and tell you: Hey, we have more surprises for you. ”

"A popular indie game is usually a trailblazer in a certain field, relying on novel ideas or gimmicks to attract players. But this game doesn't have such a creative idea, the traditional 3D action game, but this game has done it to the extreme in a sense. ”

The number of positive reviews in the review section is constantly rising, and this positive rating has also stimulated the sales of the game. Many times players will look at the review area before buying a game, especially some games that they don't know about, and knowing more about other players' evaluations can avoid hitting mines to a certain extent.

In just one day, the sales of Su Li's new game exceeded all the sales of the first game of "Into the Mist".

And this number is still growing rapidly.

The next day, Su Anxian's review article "The Spiritual Benchmark of Domestic Games" was quickly reprinted by major self-media, and gained countless eyes and saliva.

This article can be said to be a big blow to "Into the Fog 2", and it has become the most ruthless one in the first criticism article.

Most of Su Anxian's previous review articles are decent, and there are many games that can make him brag, but they are all world-class masterpieces, and there are almost no domestic games.

In the article, Su Anxian wrote:

"Into the Mists 2 - Unreal City isn't a perfect game, and it's easy to see a lot of shortcomings. For example, the graphics are not good enough, the models are not delicate enough, the music is not moving enough, and the UI is a bit rudimentary. But even though the game has a lot of shortcomings, that doesn't stop me from classifying this game as a good game, and that doesn't stop me from complimenting him here. ”

"Because of this game. It fully demonstrates the most important core value of the game, which is fun. He doesn't rely on the graphics to attract people, he doesn't rely on gimmicks to attract people, and he doesn't have eye-catching ideas, he uses the most simple quality of the game to make players addicted to it, that is, fun. ”

"A lot of games nowadays have this problem, that is, everything is good, the graphics are good, the music is good, the story is good, the creativity is good, but it is not fun. But the producer of Into the Mists 2 - Unreal City, with his sincerity and amazing talent, tells us that the fun of the game is the most important thing. ”

"Why do I call this game the spiritual benchmark of domestic games, because this game is flawed in production, but the core spirit that he shows from it is extremely rare in this environment now. Game developers devote most of their limited resources to the proposition of 'how to design a fun game'. ”

"Imaginative level design, allowing players to make the most of the space, and each design of the author takes into account how players can get more out of it, and how to not get bored and tired in a game flow that is not short."

"What's even more rare is the technical power of the game. The game's developer is undoubtedly talented in design, but his prowess in programming is just as impressive. The development of a 3D action game is technically difficult, but the technical aspects of the game are perfect compared to the simplicity of the game's materials. ”

"The comfortable operation feel, the number of bugs is negligible, there are no frame drops and stuttering, the seamless full-scene instant switching, and the technical capabilities shown by some game functions make it hard to believe that this is a one-person work."

Su Anxian's game self-media is popular, of course, in addition to the side that agrees, there are also quite a lot of opposing saliva.

In addition to the opposition of readers, some self-media also wanted to take advantage of this popularity, and began to write articles against Su Anxian, with unreasonable belittlement of the game itself.

However, the voice of praise still accounts for the majority, and the quality of "Into the Mists 2" has exceeded the expectations of the vast majority of players, and many players have begun to spontaneously promote the game.

The increase in popularity is entirely reflected in the game's sales.

On the fifth day of the game's release, the sales of Into the Mists 2 - Unreal City officially exceeded 50,000 and continue to rise.
