A game about self-doubt, living in the shadow of someone else's and breaking free to be who you always want to be. One of the best visuals in games. But tbh, more like an experience than an actual game.

ถ้าวัดคะแนนจากความบันเทิงโดยรวมให้ 8/10 แต่ถ้าเอาคะแนนวิชวลให้ 11/10 เลย!

เป็นหนึ่งในเกมที่ภาพสวยมาก อาจจะไม่ใช่นิยามกราฟิกสวยระดับค่ายใหญ่ยักษ์ แต่มีความว้าวววววมาก

เราเล่นเป็นหนุ่มนักดนตรีชื่อแฟรนซิส เวนเด็ตติ หลานชายของจอห์สัน เวนเด็ตตินักดนตรีโฟล์คชื่อ(โคตร)ดัง ใคร ๆ ก็หลั่งไหลเข้ามาที่เมืองเพื่อฟังคอนเสิร์ตของอาอยู่เสมอ และทุกคนก็ตั้งความหวังไว้ที่แฟรนซิสว่าจะเติบโตไปในเส้นทางเดียวกัน

แต่แฟรนซิสค้นพบว่าตัวตนข้างในมันไม่ใช่สายโฟล์ค!

และจู่ ๆ ก็เกิดเหตุการณ์บางอย่างที่เอื้อให้เราออกผจญภัยเพื่อตามหาสิ่งที่ตัวเองเป็นจริง ๆ

ระบบการเล่นง่ายมากกกกกกกกก ง่ายจนอย่างที่บอกว่าเหมือนประสบการณ์แบบอินเตอร์แอคทีฟมากกว่าจะเป็นเกมที่ท้าทาย วิธีเล่นแค่กดปุ่มตามเท่านั้น นอกนั้นเสพฉากและเนื้อเรื่องล้วน ๆ

วิชวลเกมนี้คือ…เหมือนเสพ LSD (ไม่เคยหรอกนะ แค่เปรียบเทียบ) เนื้อเรื่องก็กาวพอประมาณ หลุดโลกอย่างแท้จริง 55555

มีนักพากย์สองคนในเกมเราชอบผลงานด้วย คนหนึ่งคือ Lena Headey ที่เล่นเป็นเซอร์ซีใน GoT และ Mark Strong ที่เล่นเป็นเมอร์ลินใน Kingsman

แนะนำให้เล่น แค่เสพภาพก็คุ้มแล้ว

Una historia que va sobre el sobrino de un famoso cantante de folk que en secreto quiere tocar space opera me tendría que haber gustado mucho más, pero por alguna razón no ha terminado de hacer clic conmigo. Puede ser porque el juego se demora más de la cuenta en los diálogos, porque la versión de Switch va a tirones o porque la música, aunque está bien, debería lucir más en un juego de estas características. El caso es que no creo que lo recuerde con mucho cariño, aunque haya partes que he disfrutado.

This game was recommended by a friend and fellow streamer, Garytron who said, "This is very much a Roy game" and he was right. I can't express how much I loved this one.

The Artful Escape follows a man stepping into adulthood with a shadow of expectation hanging over his head. One he is ready to embrace (albeit it out of the pressure he feels, not out of a love for that future). And then, out of nowhere, aliens show up and take him on a journey of discovery.

The themes of this game had me locked in, figuring out who you are, developing your own personal style and personal sound. Being challenged to create your own journey and definition of who you are, where you come from, and (most importantly) where you are going. And then, wrapping it up with themes of a legacy ending - of losing the thing that defined you and trying to figure out who you are while others take your place.

What a game. What a spectacular game.

I would consider changing two things about it though:
1. I would make the musical gameplay more difficult. This is really a walking simulator (a fun one!) with a few moments of discovery and a few moments of rockband like playing. But the rockband piece is lacking in difficulty and engagement. I think with a little more work they could have made this part of the game more difficult and much better.

2. I felt the ending was slightly abrupt. No way to talk about this without spoilers, but while not a bad ending, it felt like there could have been just slightly more to it and it would have finished the game perfectly.

Still, what a spectacular game. Running through worlds wailing on the guitar is a true pleasure. Definitely recommended!

A very surreal game. The Artful Escape follows the story of a folk musician who wants to do rock and roll, but doesn’t want to disappoint his town, who expects him to fit into the shoes of his uncle, a legendary folk singer. He gets whisked into space and ends up in a performance across the universe and some wonderful characters who try to convince him to become his “true self”.

On his journey, he will play music across wild and unique lands. These consist mainly of fairly simple platforming segments, but the visual spectacle of each level is enough to keep your attention. There’s lots of creative stuff to see, and it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

O que falar sobre artful escape, um dos melhores jogos que joguei no ano de 2023, uma mistura de folk com glam rock não poderia dar nada mais nada menos que uma trip psicodélica extremamente colorida e com uma historia extremamente cativante com um protagonista saindo disso "🤓" pra isso "😎"
talvez esse jogo tenha me impactado muito mais do que eu esperava pelo fato de ter uma temática musical, as mecânicas estilo "guitar hero" são muito legais, os visuais sendo FENOMENAIS, fico muito impressionado com o character designer desse jogo, como pensaram em cada ser do cósmico e o como apresentaram questões de gênero foi sensacional, até por que se parar pra pensar gênero é um conceito muito "humano" seres do cosmos não teriam esses conceitos e isso foi uma das coisas mais fodas e bem pensadas, acho que não preciso falar sobre a trilha sonora, ela é tão perfeita mas TÃO perfeita que recomendo não pesquisar nenhuma música e espere pra ouvir pela primeira vez jogando, recomendo 100% pra pessoas que minimamente gostem de musica, drogas psicodélicas, nerdolas guitarristas, folk, glam rock, seres cósmicos.

UMA VERDADEIRA OBRA DE ARTE.

Todo o visual desse jogo é incrível, um verdadeiro quadro de arte móvel, dá pra ver todo o carinho e beleza q os devs colocaram em cada detalhe visual do jogo.

O mesmo se segue com a história q entra dentro de uma mente de um artista e ao meu ver, demonstra perfeitamente toda a ideia e imaginação de um artista, oq só aumenta os meus pontos com este jogo. Mesmo assim não dou nenhuma nota mais alta pois senti q a história ainda está incompleta em certos pontos q eram necessários para a trama.

The game is beautiful, with some of the most visually entertaining art, character and world design you've ever seen, but sorely lacking in the gameplay department. I understand and enjoy that the message of the game is all about self-discovery and going on your own journey to find the things you love, using mediums like art to do so. But man was I expecting there to be more of a GAME. It's an autorunner with no obstacles for most of the game, with a couple of Simon Says repeat-after-me sections that a child could solve. I don't fault this game for having this kind of gameplay, I know it's really not meant to be a challenge, and more of an experience. Just for me personally, I was wanting more to do.
