Spiral | Existential Dread wrapped in a cute indie game
I got a key for a really cool Indie game. And a week later, here we are. Spiral is the first game from Folklore Games; and it's shaping up to be one of the best of the year so far.
Ethics Statement:
Hey all. The channel is reaching a size where I am now getting a few emails a month asking for me to review games. These offers often come with a free key for the game or other goodies.
You literally just have to trust me. And that is how it is for anyone that gets sponsored for any post, video, picture, whatever. But I can assure you that I’m not changing the content of my videos because someone has slipped me a tenner under the table. I’m still going to absolutely destroy a terrible game, even if I got sponsored for it. I’m not doing a video unless the other party understands that my opinion doesn’t change because you gave me a key.
If you’re someone that wants me to check out your game. Just remember. You’re signing up to subject your game to how i play games and how I review them. If you’re not confident in your game, then don’t bother. Even if I review your game and I like it, I’m bound to have some stuff that I don’t like. That’s part of doing a review. It pains me, it pains you.

    Just found this channel, love it, criminally undersubbed. Every video is so good, I have to disagree with the conclusion though, this IP was really quite good for what it was but like every other IP once you have 2 bad games they die and don't recover, it seems like every IP is on the same terrible trajectory and you can get wildly good games like Baldurs gate or Kingdom Come or Last of Us or RD3, there's a bloat and a cancer that's pervasive in the industry, I think bad games are the norm and a sometimes something like cyberpunk or last of us is an outlier in either direction, there are some good studios and mostly terrible ones. Bethesda could be right at the bottom.

    Bought the complete edition for 3€ and felt scammed after playing this mess for a few hours. It's utterly unfinished and flawed by design. The story and setting are pretty unique though. But it fails to be a survival game, an immersive sim, a stealth game or whatever else it wanted to be.

    I lost my great-grandma to dementia. It broke me when she forgot me over and over and over again. But not once did she stop loving me or treating me kindly. When her death-aversary came around, mom finally told me it runs in our family. That it's just part of our family getting old. That soon we'll have to go through it with my grandma (her mom). And even though it's been over a decade since my great-grandma passed from it, even longer since she really struggled with it and went to a care facility, it still stings. I hope I have the heart to endure it again and again. Spiral seems to be a game made from a lot of love from people that have experienced what it's like being around people suffering from dementia. I'll have give it a shot when I'm in a better place and perhaps if I struggle explaining what it's like with it, I'll offer it up to friends. It seems to have a beautiful sadness built into the game, which is usually what's left behind after the hurt starts to fade. I am so appreciative that we're getting more games that explore emotions involving things like that.

    I'd kill for a We Happy Few adaptation into a TV show, or a book, or comic, anything really. There is such an amazing story that is weighed down so heavily by an abysmal game. Watching videos about We Happy Few's story is so much more enjoyable than experiencing it through the game itself. You aren't bogged down with multiple fetch-quests in a row, pointless stealth, easy combat, and a vapid open world that adds nothing but padding.

    Great review! While I personally enjoyed the game, you make very good points. Your questioning behind some of the reasoning in this game is very valid. As simple some mechanics were and how weirdly put together this game was, I still enjoyed my time bumbling around the world doing side quests and essentially playing a looting simulator. Sad to hear this game was suffering for you but happy you made a well thought video review about it. ♡ By the way, it’s bugging me so much, what song plays at 1:10:10? It’s so familiar to me but I can’t for the life of me put a name on it!

    Memories are such an interesting thing to me. Just by accessing them by remebering them we change them. Constantly. But many times, the meaning they hold never changes like you mention. Love, laughter, joy, sadness, melancholy. They're emotions shared with the people, places, and things within the memories. Maybe that's a form of love sharing those moments with others ones we remember.

    They made Arthur so unlikable and a jackass, I think his ending was too forgiving considering the stuff he's said and done. That Sally part was especially infuriating like, he's so petty about some stupid teenage relationship that he refuses some very useful help. I'd have uninstalled the game on the spot after that scene.

    This game is built on a great idea, in theory. It's not that it was executed poorly, it's that the idea wasn't really executed at all. The mechanics are shallow and the story is fed to the player in drips of exposition. It all adds up to a disappointing nothing of a game.
