i played this game for a bit but i noticed that when i close the game and start up again, i start over at the very beginning even though i select my save game file. even when extra selecting ''Reload at laast checpoint'' i start at the beginning. do you maybe know why this happens?
Excellent game. Its not a soulslike.
Also. You don't have to play the dice game even though it's the rule. Just smack em in the face.
It's free on PSN. Been loving it. Fun combat, good exploration and story. So surprised I would have never played this or heard of it if it wasn't on PSN.
The one thing I hate about this game is that the world isn't repared after the way too long final boss! When I have passed through the really depressing Celestial Realm and the Credits, Sakura City is still dark and the final boss is still available as a boss after I beated him.
Beautifully explained 🌈
Well done
i thought "badeline" came from the file names?
8:18 get out of my room! no! edmund no!!!!
i fuckin love this game! ive noticed you only made two videos on it, so if you feel stuck and need help, i might be able to provide! im very experienced
thank you
Create review!
Good vid, though something went wrong with the subtitle timing (very delayed)
Beautifully said!
I love seeing anyone's take on celeste, no matter how small the creator is, and youtube has kept feeding me celeste video essays with only hundreds of views.
Beautiful video :)
“I’m afraid for the people I love. What if I can’t keep them safe?” hit me hard ❤
Great video! Short and sweet and I really appreciate no-spoilers. Definitely gonna give this game a try, the vibes are IT
perfectly put poetry. might have to steal a couple lines for a lyric or too 😉❤️
Hearts and stars, my friend. Good luck to you and us all!
Thank you for creating this and sharing it. I needed to see this today. ♥ (but you're still not getting my french fries)

My only problem with the game is that it’s no too long. I beat it 100% in only 16 hours. The music in the game wasn’t super cool imo especially with the bosses in the ice caverns. And the final boss was too repetitive for me and tedious. I hope there is a sequel in the future because I can see the potential that it could have. Just needs better music and more bosses. Also the bosses should be a bit harder I think. Ik it sounds like I don’t like this game because I’ve only said things that I don’t like. But I really like this game I really loved the movement and the grappling was so satisfying. I really can’t complain much about this game because it’s only the second metroidvania game I’ve played with the first one I played being hollowknight which was quite literally a masterpiece. All in all I give this game a 7.5/10. I can tell the game wasn’t meant to be super hard which I like because it’s a chill experience. Great game and I recommend.
holy shit this looks dope
Do you think we'll ever get "nitch" to stick?
AH SHIT IM SCARED STOP
With how you seem to appreciate philosophically relatable and esoteric but strange and alien game design I HIGHLY recommend checking out the old Oddworld games, I’m considering buying clash because of my love for Oddworld and your description of the game just sold me that they’re both weird but enjoyable enough thank you!
This is another game that was on my radar as soon as I saw it. I LOVE cuteness, I LOVE Yokai, and wouldn't you know it, I ALSO LOVE FOXES! I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to it because it was just a Mario-esque platformer, but you know what? The more I think about it, the more I'd honestly really like to scratch that itch sometime soon, maybe I will go for it soon.
The first time I saw a trailer for this game it IMMEDIATELY had my attention. Yokai thematics are something that I invariably love, and the game itself looked AMAZING, I would love to give it a try.
Zeno Clash is my favourite series, play the other 2 as soon as you can! Sadly the devs said on twitter that since this game didn't sell too well their publisher most likely wont let them make another one.
Its so fan i might have to try it
Ph man I love this game so much iv already replayed it twice probably ganna do a third plaything when I'm done it's my new hollow knight for sure
Great review
This is the most comprehensive (and sweet) review for this game I've found yet. <3
I've been with BO for so long. This is a great game.
Great game
Bo is an amazing game! Support this game!!!
Pseudo fans rise up
My only issue is the final boss fight is too long and too much of a challenge. I'm sure those that have beat the boss will just tell me I need to get good, but I just feel like as an enemy it's too frustrating. I was able to beat every other boss this one boss was just too much.
Fantastic video. Well narrated and great b-roll. And compelling review. Love it! Just found your channel, and this review, via Eniko on masto. Instant sub. I've got a back catalouge to go through now. <3
I bought this game, whilst it looked amazing the POGO mechanic got old very fast, this could have been an amazing game but the POGO was a NOGO for a lot of players.
I just finished Bo a couple of days ago, and I loved it. The controls did feel a little off at times, but it was probably a skill issue from expecting it to behave more like Hollow Knight or the Ori games. My main ones were getting hit while trying to dash through things (especially during the final boss), and not being able to grapple consistently despite spamming the grapple button while the arrow was showing. But how much I enjoyed the rest of the gameplay and how beautiful it was definitely made it worthwhile. Also, for the fragile egg quest, I would make sure not to save at any of the checkpoints so I could quit the game and reload at the nearby fast travel spot if I needed to restart
Rank thi video of you ranking your videos and then rank the new video ranking your old ranking video and then rank the video that rankedthe new one and etc It's a inf loop (:
you
Honestly does seem pretty fun and satisfying, the way dude recoils after getting hit does something for me
Egg
Glad to see Turbo Kid getting some love. I think there are some things that haven’t worked out in Bo’s favor, hopefully it works out for them in the end.
oh man! Humble games shutting down is awefull! unsighted is one my favourite games!
Obviously its not hollow knight but this game is a little diamond
