Darkwood Review 

I'll be sure to. This was the first video I actually skipped spoilers. Always a pleasure to watch your content. Keep up the great work.

Don't mean to be pushy, but would you consider reviewing Harvester? It's a really dark FMV adventure game that is considered a hidden gem by many. I would be interested to hear your opinion on it.

do a hollow knight review

Whoa, have MULTIPLE people recommended AI War: Fleet Command? God damn, I hope that one gets some love. It certainly deserves it.

A channel I like called ARealHuman did a really good Harvester video. Unfortunately that game might be too story focused for me to do a review on since it would be talking about plot most of the video.

That’s......oddly accurately

Oddly specific

Ah i remember the first time i entered the swamp village. 2 of those mofos sprung up and i immediately NOPED and whipped out my shogun

Wtf is going on, how does that have anything to do with wat he said

What with the talk of Stalker and all, I’m imagining a Bandit with a wizard hat running around yelling “CHEEKIUS-BREEKIUS”

I dont get it

@The South or just watch a few of Boris' video.

The polar opposite of EA.

yep cause buying on reseller sites is worse than just loading it not sure why but I guess supporting key resellers with money is worse than supporting scene groups with mere downloads from a dev perspective

and mine

The reason why it's a problem is if a shady reseller purchased keys using a stolen credit card. The developer gets a chargeback, loses their sale and they also get charged for that chargeback. So it ends up being even worse than piracy. Now I don't know how often this happens with resellers as I am sure that in most cases, the keys are just bought when the game has a heavy discount and is then sold at a profit when the game goes back to a regular or higher price.

That's actually where I saw the game. Dev even was commenting in the Pirate Bay page. That alone got a symbolic purchase out of me, really had no idea if I'd even play it. Turned out to be one of the best games I've ever played.

Where did you find the lore for this game? I beat it a year ago and saw some cool stuff on a 4chan dump back then but could never find it again. The trader being a copy of the protag floored me.

@@poopsiepup1192 there is a detailed steam post about this

Dude i never knew about this, im glad i rewatched this video and explore the Comment section again

"Neighbor below us hired an inspector for their apartment, he drilled a hole in their wall and water started coming out" - Ross Scott, June 20th 2018

Mexicans apartments do.

There is no Ross - only Mold Man.

Mandalore and Ross Scott really remind me of each other more than Mandalore and Sseth.

Ross has been consumed by the mold.

In reality polish forest's biggest danger are drunk hunters notorious for confusing anyone and anything with a boar

Airay552 i feel you man i am on The swedish side!

As a Swedish sometimes woodcutter, I think I should feel slightly offended.

Don't forget all the werewolves and people-eating trees. I'm surprised the Finnish government hasn't done something by now.

max larsen What about Mustakrakish The Lake Troll?

You weren't kidding. Thanks for the recommendation.

@@andrewrobertson3894 you're welcome! Truly amazing paintings, a shame he didn't name them so googling for a certain piece is rather tricky :D

@@prowokator Ha, you're right about all the untitled work. If he was really painting (his?) dreams , I'm interested to find out about his history. Even his more abstract stuff feels almost sinister, not that I know anything about art lol. Well, except for knowing what I like.

@@andrewrobertson3894 I think the 2nd world war left a mark in his young mind for sure, if I recall correctly hus wikipedia page has more infornation on his background and life. Spoiler alert, it didn't end in a peaceful way :( Knowing what you like is enough :) He does have rather unique way of using colour and brushes in general, I love it! Great to hear I got someone interested of him! :)

Yeah, Darkwood has a very Beksinski art style about it. I really liked the game.

Shadowcat PATHOLOGIC YES

I know i'm late, but you can't leave the zone in stalker

@@rudolph2937 You can in canon ending in COP. Actually aside from plot nothing prevents you from leaving the zone lore wise..

@@SapFeaRon I never said that its phisically impossible leave the zone, thats stupid. I just said that you can't leave the zone in-game the way op described

@@rudolph2937 You didn't understand what OP meant. Imagine putting yourself in the shoes of a stalker wandering the zone filled with horrors and mutants. You came there voluntarily in hopes of getting rich quick. No one is forcing you to stay and you can give up at any time and go back home Well, when the military isn't paranoid and you can't get smuggled out anyways

Vault But not for long, only 15:20 left

But he only uploads every few weeks

Wrong, wrong, wrong, the noose remains close, but, "Not today, old friend." It keeps the noose at bay.

Fa Kenews ...so you rewatch -_-

edgy

in my point of view any game that have intentionally jumpscares automatically became cheap

Black Knightz Silent Hill 2 has a single jumpscare over halfway through. Good to know you consider it cheap.

@@DinnerForkTongue Amnesia the Dark Descent also has exactly one. Having one is ok. It can actually help you release some tension, which is good for pacing. The problem becomes when its the main "weapon" of a game to scare you. Darkwood, Silent Hill or Amnesia use ambience and context to keep a lingering sensation of something not being right that lasts beyond particular set pieces of an ugly thing going "boo". Five Nights and Freddy won't make you more scared of darkness or animatronics than you were before playing, but Darkwood or Amnesia will certainly have an effect for some time even when you are not playing.

@@C0C0L0QUIN I know and agree, I was just taking the piss out of people that generalise.

Minim it’s called the banshee

Is that an isolated joke or is that some kind of a reference to something?

@@orionion as a reI think. Also finland is a country with only a few people and big forests. Would you be comfortable there??

@@martinnolhaf3151 in poland you have an region that called "Podlasie" search this in google or youtube

@@martinnolhaf3151 yes, forests are amazing and they are the source of all life.

Keep your touchy feely to yourself unless you want a painful end by broken bottle.

i think america needs a bigger hug. We just dont like to admit it.

ikr xD im easter european, i have such dark ideas even way darker then this game

We consider ourselves to be part of "Central Europe".

That sounded gay and sissy af

Oh hey Im subbed to you

Do you know about ross scots game dungeon? You rinse it on accursed farms channel, it scratches me in similar away

Play this game and you'll be a gamer.

Same dude, idk what it is about Mandaloregaming but I can't get enough of his videos

I'm on a re-watch binge three years after this comment o/ Mandalore, you're great entertainment in addition to great reviews. My wallet will never recover

Holy, I'm reading this 6 years later and I remember laying down in the grave next to the laughing corpse.. that's kinda blowing my mind rn.

Exactly! I thought I was in for a bad time and it sold me in less than 10 minutes.

That's what good sound design gets ya.

I thought it would be a good for me as my first horror game because i can be scared by anything, and a top down game cant be that scary. Then i went underground to check out that door....

Geremy Tibbles shook

And ironically it was made by devs who confessed to being too afraid to play other horror games. I guess not having much prior exposure meant they could approach the genre from a fresh perspective.

I watched it. I shouldn't have watched it.

@@aFewBitsShort Same

Watch without spoilers. Play Game. Watch again, WITH spoilers.

The Autismo Piggo There was one that was quite similar where you played as a Van Helsing type dude and went through different stages killing all the werewolves and shit. Really impressed me when I was a young kid, unfortunately I forgot its name :(

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck i remember that one Its such a shame theres so many, but at the same time i'm glad they're still being made. Its like music, even when you find a killer track you know theres millions out there you'd love as well.

there was one who went in a similiar way. Something about dark beasts afraid of the "big light in the sky"

i used to play the shit out of endless war 3.

That thing about the flash game stuff really speaks to me. Playing the game feels like playing one of those old hidden gem flash games on a random game site back in the 2000s days.

Do you know any game with a similar feeling?

Yeah, when you get used to the eldritch horrors and avoid them you can get more confident, but it doesn't make it any less dangerous, IMO.

Honestly, this is true for most horror games. Fear of the unknown has a shelf life.

Thats why i rarely play/read/watch something the second time. It was the same for me with S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the first time when you know nothing of story and world is just perfect. Second playthrough is not that magical any more.

It was the same way for me with RE2make. Terrifying the first time, and then still fun but less scary when you play as Claire because you know the layout of most of the areas. Good horror plays on suspense and not just surprise. You know something out there is going to hurt you, you just don't know how, when, and sometimes not even what.

@@Gigaa666 try anomaly. It hits the magical feat of a living world. The ai is so good, you'll get horror jump scares and panic, just from the random ai interactions.

Gordonsnake 2000

I've got strong Beksiński vibes while playing Primordia.

Führer des Benutzers I just downloaded it and beat it 3 days ago. It’s legit.

As weird as it might appear, it is legit. This is what they said: "If you don’t have the money and want to play the game, we have a safe torrent on the Pirate Bay of the latest version of Darkwood (1.0 hotfix 3), completely DRM-free. There’s no catch, no added pirate hats for characters or anything like that. We have just one request: if you like Darkwood and want us to continue making games, consider buying it in the future, maybe on a sale, through Steam, GOG or Humble Store. But please, please, don’t buy it through any key reselling site. By doing that, you’re just feeding the cancer that is leeching off this industry."

Woah. Those guys are amazing.

@@iiwi758 wow, I'm sold.

This isn't magical realism. There is no realism in this game. It's just fantasy horror.

@@headphonic8 Considering this is the average polish persons route to the store, I'd say its pretty realistic.

The Handsome Arrow COMMUNISM the game

I want this in the dictionary now.

Digicraftmon the Crystal Gem half bear

Explain pls?

@@gestaltengine6369 Finnish inside joke

Torilla tavataan!

@@gestaltengine6369 don't worry, I don't understand it either, and I'm from Finland

Yeah, i also hear it, although it starts earlier at 4:12

Weekend Warrior Yep, Vats of Goo.

Recognized it immediately. Mark Morgan's Fallout soundtracks have been deeply embedded into my mind.

I knew I heard it somewhere before, but I couldn't think of where Thanks

I would never forget that godly soundtrack

nice

Welcome to eastern europe

Well in this war of mine you can run a booze empire, I doubt you can do that here...

@@HungPham-qq6me Eh you kinda of can

oh to be a simple polish worker, spending the days beating monstrosities and crazy homeless people to death

Can I ask what's your personal opinion on them? I find Returns is borderline a bad game but Dragonfall and Hong Kong were pretty good. I do find the writing gets way too political at times, but that's kind of a problem carried over from the tabletop.

Returns definitely has a mobile game feel to it and is really the worst of the three in pretty much every way. (One good thing about it is that you can play it in Dragonfall engine.) Dragonfall, however, improved on every aspect of Returns. Interesting characters, a decent story and a really good soundtrack. Some argue that Hong Kong is not as good as Dragonfall, but I think it's just a matter of preference, because it only introduced small changes to the combat and things like that, but the characters are more fleshed out and the story is finally not as 'grandiose' as in the previous two games. Also, it's nice that you can get 2-3 ending or even more and I think here they mean something in a sense. I agree about the politics part, but I think that this just comes with the setting. I didn't mind it that much. A bit unrelated, but just yesterday they showed screenshots from their new game on twitter and it looked pretty good, but I'd rather have a new Shadowrun to be honest. I didn't really like turn based games before and I'm still not a big fan, but I think if you like the setting they are the best you can get aside from the SNES version. All in all, nothing groundbreaking in my opinion, but they're worth playing for the characters and the setting if nothing else, and it's nice that the three games are not connected aside from a few minor references.

It's on the list.

No its not... I looked and couldn't find it.

I've adored this game for years just because of it's artwork. I've never actually played past the initial 30 minute mark because I hadn't dedicated the time to it. Maybe now that I don't have so many games to burn through, I should check it out...

Dude you totally should, its absolutely worth it.

BTW. where there ever some patches for it? Like making guns not useless?

Frieza did it.

I thought it would be Kholat, but... meh.

KnorpelDelux better than stalker is for when "better than sex" isn't hyperbolic enough

Cheeki breeki?

yep cheeki breeki

it's also wrong. This game is terrible.

It is tho
