“poor movement controls, character gets stuck frequently” (29)
即便这游戏的移动手感很差，走路经常被卡住； 即便这游戏流程短，3、4个小时就能完成； 即便这游戏已经是一款十几年前的老游戏，没有极其震撼的游戏体验； [b]它仍然讲了一段动人的故事，能把我留在电脑桌前连续几个小时。[/b] 玩这款游戏，我强烈建议你抽一大段时间沉浸地把剧情看完。我认为这款游戏的剧情不比任何所谓的商业电影要差。他的基调是平静的，但是依旧展现了人与人之间史诗一般的故事。 我必须好好夸夸这游戏的音乐和美术。音乐是极其具有代入感的，像素风也十分具有特色。里面的人物性格也很鲜明，耐人寻味。 现如今你看个电影可能就要花不少钱，即便花39买这样一个故事我也觉得值了。 [b]买之前，我朋友曾邀请我用家庭号白嫖这款游戏，但是我欣赏它，自愿付了钱。[/b]

“deeply moving story with emotional narrative and meaningful themes” (342)
研究生二年级的秋天，刚开完题，既没有课业的烦扰，也还没感受到毕业的压力。 校园里的梧桐叶落得悄无声息，那时候大家在教研室里摸鱼，无非是看看视频网站、玩一玩游戏，我在桌前点开了《去月球》。那时我并不知道，接下来的几个小时，会成为我后来反复怀念的时光。 它不像那些游戏大作，没有开放世界、没有炫目的战斗、甚至没有复杂的操作。它只是一段缓缓流淌的叙事，像秋日午后从窗户斜照进来的一束光，安静，却不容忽视。 你几乎可以用“小”来形容它的一切：像素风格的画面、寥寥几个场景、仅由钢琴与提琴编织的配乐……却偏偏装下了那么重的情感。它用倒叙的方式揭开一段人生，那些遗憾、承诺、未完成的梦，像被轻轻拆开的信笺，每一页都泛着岁月的痕迹，却字字清晰。 我记得自己是如何从最初漫不经心的点击，到后来手指停顿在键盘上，再到最后潸然泪下。它不是煽情，而是一种更深的存在——就像你突然读懂了一首曾经觉得平淡的诗，或是在某句台词里照见了自己。 后来我玩过许多制作更精良、设定更宏大的游戏，但再没有一款能像《去月球》那样，让我觉得自己不是在操控一个角色，而是在轻轻叩响另一个人的心门，并在回声里听见自己的震颤。 我怀念那个通关后的夜晚，我从教研室走回宿舍，风带着初秋的凉意，心里却被某种温暖的东西填满。我更怀念那时的心境——还没有被论文和焦虑占据的时光，愿意为一首《Everything’s Alright》停留的耐心，还能被一个简

“the BGM and piano soundtrack are excellent” (40)
唯一的优点是BGM 已经把钢琴曲收藏了 被夸是催泪剧情神作，本来家庭库里有但为其超高口碑和收藏价值自己又买了一份。结果耐着性子打完全程一点都没被感动到。唯一有点意思的就是两个博士诙谐的对话，游戏手感稀烂，玩法极其枯燥，前中期全是点点点和翻转图形。坚持打下去唯一的动力就是最后以为能爆哭的结局，我纸巾都准备好了结果啊？这就结束了? 仔细想了想，一些逻辑上质疑点： 1.童年瞬间被过度神化。我很难相信john和river5岁时候星空下随口说的承诺会是两人一生的锚点。如果换到20多岁成熟了之后的承诺我会被感动，可是几岁小屁孩的约定我只能认为是童言无忌，逻辑上很难具有贯穿一生潜意识的力量。 2.river的执着缺乏合理性+现实幸福被低估。作者为了避免标签化只是说“某种病”，我推测综合river的行为来看很像ASD，所以我只能试图把她无法表达和折纸的行为归于疾病。可是很明显river就是John的全部，即使John遗忘了最初看星星的经历他也用一生证明了是非常非常爱她的，我很难理解为什么有john这么“完美”的另一半river还会如此执着于初见，John想不起来就郁郁寡欢。river这种不满在我看来真的有点矫情了，所以我只能认为是疾病导致的。 我理解这个游戏感动的点是：即使把river从john生活里抹去，他们最后仍然像他们童年约定的那样：如果你走丢了，我们会在月球上相遇。可能我太现实主义了吧，对
