Check Out - Enotria: The Last Song 

What wild is the confidence in this studio giving us a 8hr demo with multiple mask, enemies and weapons and more bosses

Italian player here .. first of all, let me thank you for giving visibilty to this game, I'm following its steps since the first announcement and I really hope it will meet developers' expectations; it's an important chance for our country inside the game industry🙂 .. and if you are curious, here is a little description from Wikipedia: "Enotria was an ancient region of southern Italy, difficult to delineate, but which certainly included the south-eastern fringes of Campania, Basilicata and Calabria, inhabited by the Enotrians since the first wave of Indo-European Italic people"

I had no clue this game even existed, but man I'm loving the concept! Games that represent folklore from different part of the world are always nice

For what I can remember, the "Enotri" were a pre-latin population of southern Italy, possibly of Greek origins, possibly from European/Balcanic origins, possibly from a confluence of populations of different origins. And that's basically it, they didn't teach us more than that in general school here in Italy, since most of what's left of Enotria (accent on the "o") is written references from authors that lived 2 or more centuries later than the Enotri themselves. I see they refer to masks in this game, though, which are a constant in Italian culture since ever, and to this day as coded popular theatrical characters and as regional specific representatives of local folklore. Two Italian mask names that might be well known enough abroad are Pulcinella (representing the city of Naples in Campania) and Arlecchino (representing the city of Bergamo in Lombardia). Thanks for your videos!

Great video as always! I hadn’t heard of this, I’ll need to give it a look. Italian folklore is definitely an interesting concept

Looks nice. Always appreciate a demo (seems so rare these days). Excited to give it a try. Glad to hear you’re looking forward to playing it in release… that says enough for me 👍

This looks like a Lies of P-like with the Italian setting and playing an automaton, mixed with the story premise of Amalur on predestination for everyone but your character "the world is a stage play"

I was really entertained when they initially announced a June 21st release date and I think I saw a sponsor segment on a video about Shadow of the Erdtree, also releasing June 21st.

Looks like this is the developers first non-mobile title as well as their first souls-like so it's pretty impressive job for their first run.

If the gameplay manages to keep up with the lore and art direction it will be a blast to play even more if you are italian and you get all the subtle references to italian folklore

I hope you eventually get to play The Surge and The Surge 2, as they're unique Soulslikes in a futuristic setting and even me, who struggles with Souslike, has had some fun with the first one.

I found the demo of this on the PSN. Looking at the bigger game releases lately it seems like soulsborne style games always do demos!

Can you make video on ARX FATALIS? I think you might like it.

I've only played a few souls-like, but I've been unlucky enough to pick some where you're not allowed to pick any weapon from the get-go...imagine having to play the first few hours of Dragon's Dogma 2 with a two-handed sword and being unable to change it...that's the sort of weapon that you either love or hate, there's almost no in-between...I think their doing themselves a great disservice if they lock some nice "specializations" behind masks that take hours and hours to unlock, because not everyone loves the same kind of play-style.

I'm downloading the demo now. This looks interesting.

Played it for a few minutes last night to get a feel for it, it felt great from what I could tell. Can’t wait to play the rest of the demo Friday 👌👌

I am really done with all these soulslike, way too many out there and most feel too similar to each other. Still this one looks quite neat, on top of being Italian indie, so wish them success

These games always look and feel very similar. Besides whatever mechanics these games might have the combat is always the same. If you told me this was made by the same guys that made Thymesia, I'd believe you :D.

Looks good and I like the idea of Italian folklore. Wonder if this will release on consoles.

The musics are 🔥 even if the gameplay is a bit stiff but still enjoyable when you know how to exploit it

RU-vid jazzing over here - FREESTYLE!

Looks interesting just picked up the demo. Hopefully they don't over-focus on parrying like Lies of P did.

Regular grunts don't seem to get stunned when attacked? Or are those bosses?

I'm Italian and i hope that this game will be good. I'm a bit worried about, because today there are a lot of souls like games and the genre is oversaturated. I hope that people do not start to compare this game with Elden ring and other high quality games, because it's not fair.

I’m pretty sure an old DS YTer worked on this game too, I think it’s Prud or sumn? (P.S Just checked and their YT is ‘ThePrud’ 🤙🏽)

I really enjoyed the demo.. I turned it off after nearly 2 hours as I didn't want to spoil too much of it for myself. They really nailed down that Soulslike feeling with the combat, upgrading, level layout and challenge.... it's an easy D1 buy.

Love it

Finished it in 3hrs, so I don’t really understand the 8hrs demo. Am i missing something? Or am I missing an entire area?

I ran into a save bug on ps5 that kind of killed my interest in continuing the demo. The whole main first level reset and the prince of laughter also respawned and would just sit in place. Couldn’t open the door to progress

HMM SLIGHTLY LIKE LIES OF P; GRAPHICS ARE A LIL CRUNCHY BUT ILL WAIT TO SEE MORE AFTER THE RELEASE

As an Italian American, the game seems interesting to me however, it doesn't really seem to be all that unique outside of the setting. It's not like Mortal Shell or Remnant where they are very interesting takes on the genre. Whereas this game doesn't seem to really do anything new.

Good show sir

Will the Japanese physical release have English???

Im enjoying the demo definately hard wish the combat speed was dialed up just slightly it feels a bit too slow for me

Why do people lookup stuff they dislike only to complain about it? 🤷🏼‍♂️ No one's forcing you, go play something you do enjoy.

I’m getting vibes of Lies of P and Steelrising and that is a positive

Gronk!

I'll check it out but the only souls like that wasn't from software that I enjoyed was lies of p.lotf was ok

Good video, saved me some money. In the overcrowded souls-like market, my interest in playing as a wooden puppet in an Italian play is so close to zero as to be negligible.

❤

If I had a nickel for every new Soulslike influenced by Bloodborne, inspired by Italian stories, made by a company that used to only make casual games on PC/mobile space looking to expand into single player games with this title, with a automaton as the player character, and with a lengthy and promising demo, I would have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

The crucial question here is: Can you pause it?

We have folklore?

Not sure why my comment was deleted. You asked how to pronounce Enotria and I linked to a well known website that specializes in pronunciations, specifically to the page where you can hear an italian man say "Enotria"

Is the ultimate sin in this game is to break spaghetti pasta?

Ran like shit but it’s promising

Reminds me of devil may cry 1 setting .

It's actually an acronym, so every time you refer to this game from now on you need to say E N O T R I A.

Soulslike games are lucky Live Service games are the worst, most overdone trend atm. Theyre oversaturated and lower quality imitators, but nowhere near as disasterous and damaging as live service

I tried the demo and soon got tired of it. The only sols game I liked was Elden Ring, because at least you could run off to explore the world. Here the first bit of the game is quite limited, and after being killed for the tenth time just trying to explore I thought, "I remember why I dislike souls games!"

UI looks so copy and paste from Dark Souls

Souls like is the new battle royale, saturated AF

first! hey mort

ενότρια land of wine...wine and souls clones are not a good combo :P

Souls like and survival craft are nauseating at this point

I think it's pretty funny that people are complaining that it's another souls like game but yet they will continue to buy cod games 😅

I love it the demo it's awesome. Pretty much Bloodborne in the sun and a demo that's really meaty.. The combat for me is pretty tight

If only it was as good to play as it is to watch.

How many indie games with Song in the title can we take, in 2024? Is there even an upper limit? Insert snide remark about Silksong not releasing, ever

check out - free comment: not the last one

Unreal 5.4 has already a must faster shader compilation than the previous versions. Future games will do the compilation a lot faster for sure.

just watching the footage really makes me think they need to do something with that camera angle. character model blocking all of the enemy doesnt seem good in a soulslike

If I had a nickel for every time youve looked at an italian folklore themed soulslike I would have two nickels, which isnt a lot but its weird its happened twice.

Well, it looks beautiful at least

"UE5 shader stutter". that is where my interest faded

Wake up honey, it’s time for your new historically accurate Lies of P.

Thanks for the video. You make a good point about the souls-like market becoming a bit saturated. I'm curious what will happen with it. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

I'm stoked for this one. I love dark decaying castles as much as anyone, but I'm really excited to see more souls inspired games in brighter settings

Is the game tunnel based all the way? Similar to dragon's dogma 2, large tunnels but tunnel system either way

Everyone else getting a bit tired of games looking so samey? I guess that's the downside of everyone using the same 2 engines.

I love that tuscan look. But i fear it is another forgettable souls like.

How many damn soul games are they going to do????

That sword slash animation flash gets tiring quick.

I'll be so happy when the 'souls like' moniker and gameplay is put to rest. It's just the same thing over and over.

It's Enòtria 😉 Anyway, great video as usual, you seemed to enjoy the demo quie a bit, I hope to see more coverage of it.

Yeahh, for the other guy who said it in the comment section, I whole heartedly agree. I'm tired of Diet Dark Souls games 😮‍💨

When you playing FF7 Remake on the PC?

Why dont these guys just make dark souls mods?

Combat looks like lies of p

already had steelrising... lies of P... etc .. etc... give us anything else ....

these type of games just wont die, sigh.
