« “单枪匹马把中国解谜游戏提升到了世界级的水平。” [spoiler]以防有人 get 不到梗,很没幽默感的解释一下:这个评语原话的出处是「在读过刘慈欣几乎所有作品以后,我毫不怀疑,这个人单枪匹马,把中国科幻文学提升到了世界级的水平。」 很难说刘慈欣之前中国就没有优秀的科幻文学作品,但大刘能创作出经得起时间考验的长篇科幻小说又确实是一种历史性的突破,套用这个句式大抵就是想表达这样的意思。[/spoiler] »

« 前五章都很好,想通关游戏也不算太难。 但是从第六章开始,一些之前没有运用过甚至根本就没见过的机制大量出现,关卡设计思路支离破碎,每关都像是个综合测试,这些“新”机制少则可以做两三关,多得能够拓展一整章,结果你就全塞一关里(尤其是每章额外区域的字母关)? 麦妖那么难,也就wB有些这种感觉,这游戏后期怎么一丁点引导也没有? »
