Take stock of 5 excellent games featuring animals and experience different fun.
Most video games use human or anthropomorphic characters as the main characters, but some games take a different approach, directly using animals as the main characters, and try to restore the characteristics of animals as much as possible, which will be very special fun to play in the end. Today, Xiaobian will take stock for everyone.5 excellent games featuring animals.Let’s take a look ~
Lost/Wandering
First of all, of course, I have to mention the cat game "Lost" which has attracted much attention this year. This game is set in a declining cyber city in the future, where there are no human beings, only some strange robots are left. The player manipulated a stray cat that strayed into the city and managed to escape with the help of a small drone.
"Lost" very exquisitely restores the various actions and characteristics of cats in reality. Its body is light and agile, and it can move flexibly in narrow passages or places with great height difference. It can also interact with the bucket on the roof, the carpet on the floor and the camera under the eaves. The game also has a "meow" button, which seems to really turn the player into a cute kitten.
Although "Lost" is not rich in play elements, however, "playing the cat" has moved many players, and it has even been selected as "Golden Rocker PS Game of the Year" by players, which is enough to show everyone’s love for it.
Trick or Treat Goose/Untitled Goose Simulator
Goose, a creature, has a lovely side, but they are actually not a good crop, and they are even called "village tyrants" in the countryside. The game "Trick or Treat Goose" is a good way to restore the cute and terrible feeling of geese. You are a goose in the game, which makes the originally quiet village uneasy. You wander around the town, from the backyard to the street shops, and then to the village green space, playing pranks, stealing hats and quacking, ruining everyone’s day.
At the same time, the puzzle design of "Trick or Treat Goose" is also quite interesting, which makes full use of the various characteristics of this animal, such as it can swim to avoid human beings, it can use quack to scare human beings, and it can also use its powerful beak to grab various objects. All kinds of practical jokes are very interesting, which makes people smile after playing them.
Man-eating shark
The horror of the goose is actually just some practical jokes, but the protagonist of "Man-eating Shark" really wants to launch a deadly attack on human beings. In this game, players become sharks and experience the ultimate power of top predators to dominate the ocean. Starting from a shark cub, your task is to survive in the harsh world and eat to the top in the ecosystem.
The game scale of "Man-eating Shark" is larger than the above two works, which provides a vast and diverse open world with many different styles to explore. And players have to face not only humans, but also other wild animals such as crocodiles. At the same time, this game also has its own growth factors. If you find the right resources, you can grow and realize supernatural evolution. Players can also customize the skill attributes of sharks according to their own styles. Producers call it a "shark-playing game".
In addition, the "Man-eating Shark" has also added black humor elements. Because sharks can’t talk, the game uses a method similar to a reality show to let the narrator explain the scene, and occasionally inserts some tricks and teasing to make the game experience less tense.
Ancestors: Human Odyssey/Ancestors: Human Epic
Although the protagonists of the above three games are animals, there are still a lot of traces of modern human activities. Ancestors: The Odyssey of Mankind is to set the time back to thousands of years ago and let players experience the evolution of ancient apes. You will cross a beautiful but heartless landscape, from the top of the canopy above the dense jungle to the golden grassland on the savanna. Behind every amazing scenery, there may be terrible weather, predators and other dangers that threaten your survival.
In order to restore the feeling of ancient times as much as possible, Ancestors: Human Odyssey has adjusted many common game mechanisms. It has no map, no voice, and few tips and guidance, so that players can truly experience the dangers of ancient jungles. You must eat well, drink well, sleep well, avoid predators, make tools, strengthen the tribe, and pass on knowledge bit by bit.
Although the apes are the ancestors of human beings, when playing this game, we can still clearly feel that we are not manipulating human beings, but manipulating a wild animal, which needs to jump out of the human mindset.
Simulated goat 3
If you like to play pranks on animals, then Simulated Goat is also a very good choice. A series of new works "Simulated Goat 3" has been released at present, which perfectly maintains the advantages of the previous works, adds richer whole live and egg content, and also joins the four-person online cooperation mode, which is simply extremely happy.
In the game, you play an unattractive ewe and do whatever you want in a very realistic physical sandbox. You can rampage and destroy the normal life of NPC; You can complete all kinds of interesting challenges and use different props to get the collections hidden in the corner; You can also dress yourself up, wear all kinds of skin, become a tall sheep, striped sheep, or dress up as a roll of paper or a tea tray.
Although "Simulated Goat 3" has no touching story, no complicated and deep system, and even everywhere it goes, it is like "playing games in bugs". However, it is such a simple and unreasonable way to play to the extreme, but it can give people simple and pure relaxation and happiness.
In addition, there are some other well-known games with impersonal animals as the protagonists, such as Terminal: Extinction Eternity (relatively small), Capcom’s Great God (relatively old), and THQ’s Biochemical Variation (with mixed reviews). Do you like this kind of games featuring animals?
