“《信号法则》的内容和玩法还是比较单一的,目前游戏的机制框架还是基于对于模拟电路的设计和连接。但在游戏品质上,《信号法则》绝对能算得上耐心打磨过后的精品,比如游戏中的机架、元器件等装置,其外观都非常写实;而与此同时,这些装置上面的图案也独具游戏自己特色且符合农场的设定,且线缆、仪器等物品都可以由玩家自由定制颜色和模式,颇具“工科男艺术性”。我非常推荐大家体验这款游戏,特别是对于这类型游戏的爱好者”

Reviews

“To me, it's a pretty impressive first outing for a new developer entering what is one of the most complex genres in PC gaming—the kind of fiddly logic puzzler with a very specific niche theme.”
PC Gamer

“...a surprising and fun way to translate the process of making modular synth patches into cool logic puzzles—which is kind of what modular synthesis is all about in the first place.”
Kotaku

“...a brilliantly tactile puzzler that turns the tangle of cables and muddle of modular units into a challenging, Zachtronics-esque game of logic.”
Eurogamer
