这个好评给的非常勉强，作品本身的创意、整活水平还有直接向老大哥开炮的题材都很对我胃口精彩纷呈，可惜存档机制反人类，而且在纷繁复杂的操作流程中我真的很难好好欣赏节目内容，更不用说细品背后的讽刺意味了。可玩性也在几千天的故事流程后变得很繁琐乏味。只能说在游戏的前五六章展现了一场绝对不容错过的政治大戏，但后期由于体验和机制的冲突难以继续让玩家在手忙脚乱之余继续深思荒谬背后的悲剧。

A fine piece of unexpected jade at the second half of 2023. Extraordinary graphics and art styles, especially that painting of hands shaped by strings of ink. And a heartbreaking but impressive story that reminds us to mind the *GAP*. What I expected was a pure psychological horror game that explores the unconsciousness and existence like the Signifier, though I have to say this one is different from what I thought. But the overall experience is still condensed, satisfying, and deeply emotional. Congratulations to you that you have worked out your own path, which deserves more attention and compliments.
A pity that little social background information was provided in neither dialogues nor files since I was very curious about what the society would be like in a surreal future 40 years from now. That means a lot to a story-rich work, and such a background could lay out potential future works in the same setting of time.

美术风格和配音都可以打高分，而且游戏里的漫画和成就图标风格特别亮眼，很喜欢。重要拐点的演出效果也很精彩，总的来说算是没有让人失望。而且步行模拟器的慢节奏照顾了我这个老晕3D了，累了可以随便休息。类似看火人一样主角+电台搭档的设置也让异星旅途没那么孤独。
然而剧情很可惜并没有把原著的神韵保留太多，并且照搬“无敌号”这三个字作为游戏标题，不太合适。因为the Invincible本身就是个双关，既说的是无敌号这艘飞船，还指人类在经历故事之前给自己立下了“战无不胜”的人设。游戏剧情里面无敌号飞船几乎就是个只存在于对话和档案中的背景板，所以继续以《无敌号》作为标题显然是不恰当的。此外，本篇并没有成功把原著中战无不胜的自大傲慢表现太多，仅仅是将外星生命作为了人类对抗的对象，而非人类在狂热中去征服的客体。唉，或许只是我太想看到人类中心主义的《败北》了吧
不过抛开这些比较主观的期望，本作仍不失为精彩的佳作。选个电闪雷鸣的夜，跟随明思娜在黑雨中穿梭求生，或许能更加沉浸于这场冒险吧。

好活，这游戏让我想起了高中学向量的感觉

很久没有如此享受过解密的纯粹了，柔和的音符和笔触，行走在霓虹都市中的小人，那是喧嚣的缩影，是忙碌世界的渺小一角

This game is absolutely an underestimated treasure among all those hustle and bustle. The whole immersive experience, magnified by excellent designs, graphics, music, voice actors, and the most important, the story combined, poses an extraordinary performance of psychological changes and a telling impact upon the technology-ethic debates. It is a pity that the game was not under the spotlight. For the past year, I had tried to contact the developers several times to offer myself for Simplified Chinese localization for this great creation. Unfortunately, I received no reply. No matter they saw my mails or not, I do wish their new games would take off, and I hope the Signifier will be honored as a masterpiece in the future.

Perhaps the human society is yet unready to appreciate this game, really confusing but intriguing.
