For most of the current players, they may have been tired of the AAA masterpieces that are constantly attacking and have high homogeneity, coupled with the social animal party in real life because of the high work pressure and the heavy learning tasks of the student party, even if the picture is good and how good the plot is, it may be difficult to squeeze out time to experience, of course, if it is a fan of a series of games, it is excluded. In order to relieve the pressure, this part of the player usually chooses to relax to the work, in the small amount of free time to alleviate relaxation, through the game to vent the unhappy things encountered in reality, is not better than playing sandbags and smashing plastic cups?

So in recent years, the whole game has also been very popular with players, such as "Donut County/Donut City" produced by Ben Esposito on August 28, 2018 and released by Annapurna Interactive, publisher of "Eddie Finch's Memory", and "Donut County/Donut City" produced by House House and published by Panic, which previously landed on steam on September 24 last year after the expiration of EPIC platform monopoly. Untitled Goose Game/Trick-or-Treat Goose, the former has more than 4,000 player reviews, overall special praise reviews, the latter has more than 5,000 player reviews, overall praise (if it is not EPIC exclusive, I believe the number of praise will double), it can be seen that players are indeed fond of the whole game.

This experience is a spoof comedy game "White Clouds" produced by Unbound Creations and launched on the Steam platform on April 15. The gameplay is also just like the name of the game, the player will play a white cloud that loves mischief, use a variety of abilities such as rain, snow, wind and thunder to destroy the whole deception, and complete the given mission objectives. Although the core gameplay is similar, there are certain tricks, and the experience after a few hours is very enjoyable. The production team also stated on the game's store page that "If you like The Untitled Goose Game or Donut County, don't miss this game!" ", it just so happens that I have personally experienced these two works, so I still like this work quite a lot, and the experience is not inferior to the trick-or-treat goose and the donut city.

It is no exaggeration to say that this game will implement the word "whole deception" from the beginning to the end of the player's level, the reason why it is said, because even on the main menu page of the game, the player can control the white cloud to experience the rain and pour people into the soup chicken. In addition, although it is a trick game, it is inseparable from an interesting and simple story background, "The Whole White Cloud" starts with the grandfather explaining to the child the prank of the white cloud going to Seattle as the introduction, and gradually tells the story of the white cloud playing pranks on various people, fighting against humans who want to fight against themselves, and occasionally helping various animals and even humans.

Of course, if you just control the white clouds and rain to wet people, then even if people's reactions are panicked, the greater the confusion caused, and after several levels of experience, they will feel bored. Apparently, the production team understood this, so in the fifty or so levels that the game offered in total, they worked hard to add a lot of new gadgets.

As the game levels progress, Baiyun can unlock a variety of new abilities, in addition to using the water source of the Eight Classics, players can sometimes replenish their ammunition through "water sources" such as acid rain and oil, and obtain various effects, such as oil can ignite fire and burn everything clean. In addition to these things that are replenished by specific water sources in the level, this game can also gradually unlock new abilities, such as thunder, lightning, wind and snow, and so on. These capabilities, in turn, can create new interactions with environmental elements or various munitions acquired, such as igniting oil with lightning in addition to knocking down pedestrians' umbrellas, chopping vehicles or scaring people out of bunkers.

From the initial ability to only rain and wet people, to the subsequent use of thunder and lightning, snow and skidding, and the use of tornadoes to destroy, players will not be bored. Especially after learning the ability of tornadoes, roll up the people on the ground and throw them out together, the social animals treat it as a daytime work to criticize your leader, not to mention how pleasant it is to vent.

In addition to Baiyun can learn new abilities so that the game will not be boring, the game has fifty levels, each with the mission objectives needed to pass the level. Mission objectives are divided into main line interstellar objectives that must be completed and side objectives that can be completed optionally, and there will be hidden objectives for players to discover as the level progresses. These hidden targets are hidden before the player triggers, and they need to be unlocked after the player reaches the pre-goal, which also stimulates the player's enthusiasm for exploration - pouring rain on everyone, sneaking around the entire map, lighting fire to everything...

Then, there are different levels to play. In addition to the regular levels that throw the player directly into the target, as well as the form of leading a story out of the level, this game also has a variety of fancy gameplay. Sometimes, players need to sneak around enemy bases as a large soldier, tossing and turning between enemy troops and weapons (this level is a tribute to "Hidden Dragon Spy", and players who have played it should be very familiar);

Sometimes, the player will be in the same room with a group of unlucky social animals, staging a series of natural disasters... Wait, at this time, you have to complain about why the same social animals are suffering;

And even the levels that directly throw the player into it have a variety of ways to play. Some levels only require the player to wreak havoc, swipe out enough scores, rain, thunder, ignite... All means are used to the extreme;

Some levels contain puzzle solving elements, but the difficulty of decryption is not high, and it can be completed with a little brain. For example, to mix different liquids together to form an explosion, and to absorb oil smoke to convert rain into gasoline, from the fire to the target can be ignited;

Of course, the most decompression method is to crush everything with an absolute posture, such as wetting plants with acid rain, listening to the sound feedback of the chirping, it can be said that it is really decompression - after all, this is still a whole game. In short, the player's ultimate goal is to control the white clouds to turn the entire scene upside down.

In addition, the production team is also thoughtful, in order to ensure the repetitive gameplay of the game, players will re-challenge after the first level, and all levels will be set with new NG missions. To complete NG missions, players need to flexibly use the various abilities obtained by Baiyun, some NG missions are more difficult, and it takes a little time to try them several times to achieve them. If you are still a high-end player who feels that the difficulty is low, the game also provides a sun mode that increases the difficulty, which is very suitable for self-challengers.

In addition, as the level is broken, players will also receive new decorations as a reward. It is said that it is a white cloud, but in fact, the color is also changed casually (although there are still only presets). In addition, not only accessories, the production team also provides DIY functions to players, which can be said to be a full range of custom clouds. In the locker room, players can customize the drawing of the face of the cloud, which should be the wind of the pen for the big touch, and I believe that a variety of white clouds can be seen. And even if the face painting collapses, it can be restored to the original with one click, which is very convenient.

In general, the whole white cloud is a simple core gameplay, but there are still many tricks of the fine whole trick casual to small games, and it is still very fun to play. If you say that the fly in the ointment, for the optimization of the game, mainly after opening the post-processing option, even if you choose to play with low quality (the whole game does not need high quality, playing fun is it), the graphics card fan speed is also directly taken off. Originally for leisure and relaxation, listening to the noise of the graphics card or can not relax, I hope it is just an individual situation. The game's 50 yuan pricing seems to imply a level of one dollar, but please rest assured that the quality of each level is worthy of this dollar, Steam players can start directly. In addition, the game also entered XGP, and currently XGP players can try it, and after the experience, they feel that it is OK to make up a ticket on Steam.

Rating: 7/10 Recommended Audience: Players who like casual to game works
