Ever Forward – Recently, the market of adventure games, pure 3D puzzles have been increasingly sparse, as the genre’s names often pursue deeper and more complex designs.
Especially in the middle of the constant epidemic season, many people will feel shy and tense with such complex games.
Ever Forward appears as a breeze that is both familiar and strange and will lead players through its fairytale and mysterious world in a gentle, familiar but no shortage of personality.
The first point that makes players pay attention to Ever Forward is the beauty of the game world.
The bright colors are subtly and harmoniously blended together, the world is arranged in a very natural and very intelligent way.
Players are always encouraged to move forward and explore this beautiful world more.
Plus with soft, deep music, players are always immersed in and completely mixed with the game world (just like the way Ori and the Will of the Wisps used to “attention” with us not long ago. so).
Ever Forward takes players to follow Maya, a little sister lost in a large world, somewhere between reality and fantasy.
There’s a pandemic in my world that keeps everyone indoors, and now I have to help my mother, Ann, find a cure in that strange world, making the player feel the plot relatively close with reality and thus sympathize with Maya and her mother more.
The plot of Ever Forward is told naturally, sincerely, and relies heavily on whether the player can connect with Maya.
This is done wonderfully, from her mother Ann becoming distant from her, as well as the baby’s memories that the player will “unlock”.
The game also has no shortage of unexpected turns to make the story more interesting, but it never feels ridiculous or awkward.
Although the main plot of the game lasted only about 3 hours, the writer felt that the game was not lacking at all.
On the contrary, the game has no sense of redundancy, and the storyline experience is complete!
The gameplay of Ever Forward revolves around players exploring the world, finding “paths” leading to other corners of the world, and solving puzzles, thereby leading the story forward.
The puzzles of the game are relatively basic in the approach.
From as simple as picking up cubes on a pedestal, to being as complex as timing and sneaky action, creating an ever-evolving system of puzzles.
The puzzles have difficulty translating naturally, but there are still puzzles that are surprisingly difficult … surprising, causing many players to brainstorm quite a lot.
But in general, the game has a reasonable and reasonable difficulty and the pace matches the plot, so players are always motivated to move forward.
In addition, Ever Forward is quite “easy” for players to let them save their progress in the middle of puzzles naturally, and a reasonable checkpoint system for longer puzzles makes the game experience inherently comfortable, even lighter and more pleasant.
