老玩家诸葛亮戏评此作《疯狂根源》设定颇为独特，玩家将扮演一位受癫痫困扰的医生，在充满恐怖与混乱的医院中求生。然而，老夫发现游戏虽具备引人入胜的故事，却在优化方面略有不足。正所谓：好钢需用在刀刃上，此作虽有潜力，但尚需打磨。优点： - 剧情跌宕起伏，充满心理惊悚与意外转折。 - 战斗系统多样，玩家可近战、射击，体验沉浸式求生感。 - 医院场景设计紧张压迫，氛围渲染出色。 - 随机战利品与可探索区域增加了游戏的可玩性。不足之处： - 优化不足，运行时偶有卡顿，影响沉浸体验。 - 部分战斗机制略显重复，长时间游玩后略感乏味。老夫感悟：《疯狂根源》虽在技术层面有些瑕疵，但在折扣期间购入，性价比尚可。此作凭借其独特的故事与惊悚氛围，仍值得一试。正所谓：瑕不掩瑜，打折亦是情理之中。总评：优化需改善，但折扣价位物有所值。诸葛亮戊寅年秋于书房

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.
