As of 8/1/24, the things I talk about @5:05 have been patched and reduced to a lower amount (on Steam at least). While I do think this change is positive and improves the game overall, I feel that it doesn't affect my other criticisms.
When I wasn't fighting the controls it was fun. Turning off aim assist didn't do much on Nintendo Switch. I might play it more on PC. The controls seem less janky on mouse and keyboard.
I finished lies of p and after a few weeks i started this, i just recently finished it and holy shit. Ofbcourse the gameplay is great but what i really care about is the story, its fantastic
Thanks for the in-depth review, you made very clear points and helped save me time as this game doesn't seem like it's for me. No offense to the developers but there's only so much time in the day so I gotta be picky. The hard line for me was what you call the "subtractive" nature of the game, it sounds like the game rewards you with shortcuts through overly empty spaces rather than rewarding you with new areas to explore, and even then has a lot of dead ends.
The visuals and voice over are very professionally done! Overall very high quality work. If I might offer a suggestion, it seems strange to talk about the meta progression first before talking about the moment to moment game play of a run, and in the review was very light on descriptions of most of the actual city building mechanics, focusing a little too much on the overall progression and events. Even with that being said, I enjoyed watching this review, and look forward to more in the future!
You can leave your shop and do other things, but it’s all handled through the menus and the user interface rather than moving a character around a map.
this game looks cool but i wish there was a bit more flare to the unit combat, not super exciting to just watch hp numbers go down when fighting in a strategy game imo good review tho this helped me figure out if i wanted it or not :)
thank you so much for the review its so helpful! i think i will try it out myself! :) ps- your voice and the way you narrate the vid sounds like those narrators in true crimes docu ahaha
Kye, I don't know what to do with my life anymore. Since you came along, I think the only option I have left is to become a Stonemason since you have me so bricked up.
I recall I encountered something similar, but was able to get through it by switching up my build to use a different unit family. I'd try that if you haven't already!
Starting this video off with "This game sold me 100% because of some character animations in a 10 second trailer" legitimately made me close the video. Basically admitting to everyone "ignore everything I'm saying".
I'm really intrigued with this game(as it is somewhat reminiscent of an RPG for the PS2 as it were.."Drakan: The Ancient's Gates.) For a game that is just under 9GB(PS4)...the graphics are very pretty. It's on sale currently, so I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on it.
The only thing, I don't like about this game is there are still bugs, like the quest that just gone when you load your save file, and the option for action that are missing during the quest. The developers already add the pacth, currently ver 1,20, but not all bugs are repaired. I'm stuck for getting the endings that need to open NG+ because of the bugs.
That's interesting! I don't think I encountered many bugs, but I also didn't care much about finishing side quests. Hopefully they get patched out soon!
@@KyleSansL well, everybody who played this game might already got the true ending of this game. For me, I need to take a break and played another game. I might replaying this game, someday.
