《以撒的结合:重生》感觉就是原作的重制版,道具倒是增加了几百种,更新了新的BOSS。增加的联机功能,插上手柄就按START,就可以个基友一起开始游戏了,前提是你有大于1的血量。
游戏新增加了SEED种子功能,开始之前按TAB可以输入种子,游戏时按ESC暂停可以看到当前地图的种子,同一个种子的地图道具分布是一样的。
以下为剧情分析 严重剧透,慎入。
Binding of Isaac does not follow the normal format of a story. We are not given a clear narrative and the game has many endings which to the average player might seem completely random and confusing. However to get any sense of story, you have to put the pieces together yourself. Beware, there are spoilers in this analysis.
【以撒的结合】并不遵循一般故事的叙事方法。它并没给我们一个清晰的解释,游戏的多个结局在多数玩家看来也几乎是随机而莫名的。为了理解故事,你必须自己拼凑线索。因此,这篇分析也可能存在谬误。
On the surface it may look like an average comedic indie game. Many of the elements in the game such as shooting poop for items, a boss that urinates himself and shooting tears as weapons are indeed hilarious as they are intended to be. But Binding of Isaac does have a serious side to the story past its black humor.
从表面上看,它可能像是个普通的搞笑独立游戏。游戏里的许多元素着实如作者所设计的一般荒谬至极,比如射烂大便来获取道具;尿自己一脸的BOSS;射出眼泪来攻击。不过【以撒的结合】在这黑色幽默之下,也有它严肃的一面。
Right from the name you can tell the main themes of the game is religion. The Binding of Isaac is a biblical story in which God commands Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as a test of faith. This ties into the game, as the narrator for the first portion of the game tells us how Isaac's mother hears a "voice from God" to sacrifice her son in the same way. However we are shown later on when we beat the game the first time, that Isaac's mother trying to kill him and being stopped by God is simply a story he made up in his drawings because in the next scene we see his mother still alive through his door.
从名字你可以看出,这游戏的主题是宗教。【以撒的结合】是一个圣经故事。故事里上帝命令亚伯拉罕牺牲自己的儿子以表忠心。这跟游戏剧情也有关联。游戏开局的旁白给我们讲述了以撒的妈妈如何听到“上帝的声音”,让她以同样的方式献上自己的儿子。不过不久后,当我们第一次打败妈腿的时候,我们却发现,“以撒的妈妈想杀他,却被上帝阻止”的情节是以撒在画中虚拟的。因为下一个场景我们就看到门的那边,他的妈妈仍然活着。
So we are left on a cliffhanger, not knowing whether Isaac's mom is actually going to kill him or not. But the story for the first part of the game shows that Isaac has a very low opinion of her. He dislikes, possibly even hates his mother and fears her.
所以故事又有了新的悬念,我们并不知道以撒的妈妈是不是真的要杀了他。但是故事的第一部分显示,以撒一点都不喜欢他妈妈。他讨厌,甚至说是恨并害怕她。
So is this all there is to it? A game where you play as isaac and fight his mom in his imaginary world? Well we will get to that ahead.
于是这就是全部了吗?这是个玩家扮演以撒,在他想象的世界里与他妈妈战斗的游戏?我们在下文继续分析。
Depression and Abuse 压抑与欺侮
Isaac in many scenes often has a cheerful expression and often behaves in whacky or comedic ways. But we are shown constantly through the game Isaac curled up into a ball remembering traumatic moments from his life. Even one of his main weapons in the game is tears of sadness.
许多场景里的以撒经常带着笑脸,举止怪诞而搞笑。不过我们在游戏一直看到以撒缩成一团,回忆他人生中的一些悲剧时刻的样子。就连他的主要武器之一也是伤心的泪水。
The image below shows isaac being rejected by a girl he likes:
下面的图片是以撒被他喜欢的姑娘拒绝
The next image shows Isaac being Isaac excidedly opening a present only to find poop inside. Which might explain why in his imaginary world, Isaac uses his tears to destroy every poop he finds:
下一张是以撒兴奋地打开礼物盒却发现里面是一坨大便。这大概解释了为什么在他的假想世界里,以撒用眼泪来摧毁任何一坨他能找到的便便
Lastly, the following image shows isaac being given a wig with girls hair by his mom, another reason why Isaac might dislike his mother and possibly hints that mom wanted isaac to be a girl when she gave birth to him, not a boy. This might explain why isaac is mistreated:
最后一张是以撒的妈妈送了他一顶女式假发,又一个以撒可能讨厌他妈妈的理由。这也很可能暗示他妈妈想生的是个女儿,而不是以撒,一个男孩儿。这也是以撒被虐待的可能原因。
Not just the examples shown above, but many of the items in the game hint at traumatic moments in his life. The Belt, Cat-O-Nine-Tails and Tough Love are just a few examples which hint at Isaac being beaten up and abused by his mother. It is even explained at the beginning that his toys such as his gamekid, were taken away from him by his mother. Each of the items in the game is significant to isaac in some way, and give the player some backstory to what is going on outside of his imaginary world.
除了以上的例子里,游戏的许多道具也暗示着以撒人生中的悲剧时刻。腰带、九尾鞭、严厉的爱只是以撒被他妈妈家暴的诸多暗示之一。这甚至解释了,为什么在游戏开始他的游戏掌机等玩具全被他妈妈没收了。每一件道具都对以撒有着某种意义,也让玩家了解,假想世界之外的,以撒真实的生活状态究竟是怎样的。
Isaac is constantly bullied and abused by both his classmates at school, his mother and has had nothing but misfortune in his life. The only escape he truly had in his life was his toys and games. But his mother takes them away from him, and what he is left with is his imagination and the game we are playing is the game he is imagining within his mind. It is his only way of escaping the abuse from his life. This leads us to the next section, The Chest.
以撒不间断地被他的妈妈和学校的同学欺侮,他除了不幸,一无所有。他生活中真正的慰藉只有玩具和电子游戏。但是他的妈妈把这些也夺走了,他所剩的只有他的想象。我们所玩的游戏正是他脑中的假想世界。这是唯一的从他的惨淡人生中解脱的办法。这就引领我们进入下一章,金箱子。
The Chest 金箱子
The Chest is Isaac's empty toybox. His mother took away all of his toys and games and has Isaac locked in his room away from the supposed "sin" of the outside world. Taking away the only enjoyment Isaac has in his life is literally driving him insane. To hide away from his mother and the world outside, Isaac climbs into his toybox and escapes into his imaginary world.
金箱子其实是以撒的空玩具箱。他妈妈把他所有的玩具和游戏机都拿走了,并把以撒锁在房间里,让他和所谓的外界的“罪恶”隔离。夺走他唯一的娱乐项目,是压垮以撒的最后一根稻草。为了躲开他的妈妈和外面的世界,以撒爬进了他的玩具箱,进入了他的假想世界。
The box, while confusing to players at first, is very significant to isaac. The box is his world. Within it he can be whoever he wants to be. He can be the hero from the games which he used to enjoy before his mom took them away. Inside the box he can find interesting items to aid him in his imaginary quest. This is why in many of the endings you find isaac finding some rare item within the chest which you can use later on.
最初对玩家来说很莫名的金箱子,对以撒来说有着深刻含义。这个箱子就是他的世界。在这里面他可以成为任何人。他可以成为在被妈妈没收前曾畅玩的电子游戏里面的勇者。在箱子里,根据他假想的命令,他可以找到有趣的道具来帮助他。这就是为什么,在许多结局里你看到以撒在金箱子里找到了一些稀有道具,而过一会儿你就可以用它们了。
Some of the items you find in the game are video game related items, such as the gamekid, or the fetus jar. Others are disturbing items such as the belt or the knife. Isaac is afraid of these in the real world, but uses them in his imaginary world to turn his fears against the foes in the game world. In his imaginary world, he no longer has to be afraid of the abuse from the real world. And in his imaginary world he can find lots of interesting things.
游戏里你能找到的道具,有一些是和电子游戏有关的,比如游戏掌机,或者史诗婴儿。另一些是比较让人不舒服的东西,比如腰带和妈刀。在真实世界里以撒害怕他们,在假想世界里他使用他们来对抗游戏里的敌人。在他的想象中,他不必再害怕真实世界里的虐待。他的假想世界里他可以找到许多有趣的东西。
One of the most disturbing and significant endings is when we find the Blue Baby in the chest:
以撒在金箱子里找到蓝色娃娃,是最意义深远又最让人不快的结局之一。
Who is the Blue Baby in the chest and why is he dead? We'll get to that later.
箱子里的小蓝人是谁?为什么他死了?我们待会儿再讲。
Before we move on lets look at one of The Womb bosses, It Lives.
在我们继续下一个话题前我们先来看看子宫的BOSS,妈心。
It Lives is confirmed to be Isaac in the womb. To win, and get to the chest once more, Isaac must defeat himself in the womb. I believe this signifies Isaac hating himself. Wishing himself dead, that he never even existed and wanting to destroy himself in the womb.
妈心是以撒在子宫中的样子。为了胜利,为了再一次进入箱子,以撒必须在孕育自己的子宫中打败自己。我认为这意味着以撒憎恨自己。希望他自己死掉,希望自己从来没存在过,希望能在子宫中就摧毁自己。
So to elaborate. The chest is Isaacs empty toybox, where he he shuts himself in to escape reality. It is a happy place for him where he doesn't need to worry about what is going on outside. But this lifestyle of shutting himself inside the box every day is not a healthy lifestyle for him mentally or physically. He is living in a state of constant denial of the outside world. Hating himself and everything in the real world. Some of the items even suggest that Isaac has suicidal tendecies.
所以我进一步说明下。金箱子是以撒的空玩具箱子,他把自己关在里面来逃避真相。对他来说,这是个乐土,因为他不必再担心外面发生了什么。但是这种把自己关在箱子里的日常并不利于他的身心健康。他活在一种不断否认现实的状态里,恨着自己和外界的一切。有些道具甚至暗示以撒有自杀倾向。
Isaac vs Himself 以撒VS他自己
For the persistent player. You may have reached the Cathedral and has a complete wtf moment when you find that the final boss of the cathedral is non other than isaac himself.
对于坚持不懈的玩家,你可能已经到达天堂,也经历了发现“TM天堂的BOSS就是以撒他自己啊!”的万马奔腾时刻……
