I wanted to like this game so much. The opening cinematic was so awesome. But yeah, all style no substance sadly

I'm more of a neon white guy don't hunt me down with pitchforks

Saying games are not fun anymore is like complaining that food is not good anymore, because you only eat cheap fast food.

*Missed potential is believable:* -The lore seems jumbled, lacking coherency -Employee and Boss interactions which explain the situation are hard to follow (even the back and forth can be convoluted) -explanations for time and life’s motivations as villains is impossible to grasp at first sight, whereas in other titles it’s pretty easy to understand -even after figuring out Time and Life’s plan, there is still a lot to be desired lore wise. -the solution to the story is ultimately a bad decision, framed as a good one, that doesn’t resolve anything *On the other hand, gameplay and music wise it is incredibly well done:* -the movement of Death is wonderfully fluid -the variation of weapons allows for a player of every walk of life to find a pace in combat on a weapon they enjoy -the many abilities in the game make for fun combination and play styles (curses and bonuses encouraging you to try different builds each run making the ability mechanic great) -the enemies feel balanced with each stage and are pretty easy to handle alone, but in groups can make a more difficult challenge as you have to learn their mechanics. -the mechanics of both the game and enemies are fairly easy to learn (Base enemies have 1 attack, big enemies have 2, thanagers have 3-5, sorrows have 6-8, and final has 9) -music flows wonderfully with the gameplay, making each stage and combat scenario feel unique -the album for the game features some banger soundtracks, making use of a combination of different instruments, including the sounds of specific objects and voices to help make the stages feel different from each other. -the art-style is fantastic, nuff said -the boss fights, oh man, they are all great. Even if some are challenging, each is visually distinct from the other through slight color variations as well as game mechanics they feature and the lessons they teach you. (Brad is is an easy intro, Grimes a hulking brute that covers the screen in muck, Waldo a technical wizard that encourages precision to avoid his assaults, Krank is a tank that teaches you backstabbing is key, Maxxx a bullet hell boss that punishes you for being greedy, The Majors deadly bombardments motivate you to go on the defensive and find short breaks for damage, Immuras shapeshifting tricks remind you to be cautious, and time is the culmination of all those tricks with a bit of emphasis on patience, y’know time and all) Overall a great game that I continue to play here and there

UnderTheMayo is a profesional sinner. Ultrakill is awesome

This game is not only the genuine pipe dream of *WHAT IF?* (then comes true), but has a really intriguing lore, really fucked up and wicked backstories to characters, beyond absurdity for Secrets/Secret Missions.,.,. *FUCK THIS SHIT GOES SO DEEP NO WONDER THIS SHIT TAKES SO LONG AAAA*

I was very scared of this game. And I mean literally terrified. Due to a psychotic episode I experienced, the world of Ultrakill was extremely disturbing to me. My experience hasn’t only been enjoyable, it’s been *cathartic* . The only thing I now wish is that I was brave enough to go into it blind. I watched a lot of footage before installing it so I could make sure I wouldn’t regret the purchase. Unfortunately, there’s too much magic in this game for you to spoil it. I envy those who go into this game blind. If you are reading this, stop watching TH-cam videos on the game (except this one ;) and just start your descent into hell. Turn off the lights, make sure it’s 3am, and lock in.

ultrakill fans watching their 23nd video essay on why their game is good:

The only flaw this game has, is that it isn't fucking finished

I know this review is 1 year old (and the creator hasnt uploaded in a year, in fact), but I kinda disagree on most points (despite finding most of your reviews very on point, like the Sekiro one). I found that this game requires basically broken builds to be able to beat a run, but unlike many others (like Isaac, for example) is absolutely easy to break, and has MANY builds that can break it. This makes it very fun and challenging. This contrasts to my experience in Dead Cells, another game I love, but a game where the meta was found immediately and, after that, every single run I looked for exactly the same build. My biggest recomendation for anyone reading this is to try it for yourselves, since I hadnt had so much fun in a roguelike since Hades was released.

Overrated

Yo another Death Odyssey enjoyer also yeah Tenebre Rosso Sangue slaps

Sisyphus Prime is a muscular, luminescent humanoid. His golden translucent body gives a clear view of his circulatory system, which seems to be the only organs present, similarly to Minos Prime. His head is a sun-like ball of light, with his face only visible as a red outline in the light. His hands and feet are coated with blood akin to his followers. Upon entering his second phase, his limbs are covered in more blood and he also gains long hair and a full beard, suggesting his Prime form has further developed under the stress of combat.

ill say this once more, good design doesnt cost money

One thing worth mentioning about the training dummy enemies: it fails to prepare you for bosses. If the build up from each floor is so pathetically easy, you don’t have much incentive to improve your skills and thus when you go up against bosses who can’t be stunned so easily you tend to struggle a LOT because the game hasn’t been teaching you the necessary skills for success

“Ultrakill is a game where I repeatedly ask myself ‘wouldn’t it be cool if I could do this’ and the answer is always yes.”

Excellent video

After finishing sekiro once i dont want to play it anymore am i the only one?

Ultrakill is a really good game, but it is absolutely overrated. Like things can be both

ULTRAKILL is a game were you can actually do the ridiculous stuff they show in the trailers.

Tää peli on siis suomalaisen tekemä? Pakko ainakin kokeilla

DUDE I HAVE 300 HOURS ON ULTRAKILL AND LIKE 20 HOURS ON REAVER. THEY ARE BOTH EPIC

I’ve heard similar sentiments elsewhere, but Ultrakill is a game that made me enjoy water levels. That is an accomplishment

why did you cut the best part of the song💀😭

You know a ultrakill is good cuz 99% of negative reviews are "no robot sex"

bros too underrated

I like this video and i agreed with the take gameing isn't dead there are so many good games out there but i think the reason why i think people are saying this is because the amount of games that people like that turn to shit or aren't good and are Just made to make money example Some examples That I can think of right now Call of Duty battlefield Overwatch Halo Madden FIFA 2K And Diablo (I have heard good things about it i don't really know though i didn't play it) A lot of these games People love and aren't the same and the Companies that made them are not in a good spot And also there's been an increase in less quality In games that were Expected to be good but there are still a lot of great new games that you can play Especially from Indy studios Like the rise of Battle bid hopefully these new Studios Can continue to make a new games and the AAA studio can learn or just get replaced

ultrakill is the kind of game where you ask yourself "hm wouldnt it be cool if" and seconds later go "holy shit it worked"

Ultrakill is the first shooter I ever played, and ngl now every time I try other shooters I feel like a old man in a weelchair

ay why fight me

Stfu, doesnt need a review to know its a masterpiece

Theres a free demo which has like the first 8 levels of the game i think and the gameplay in the demo is pretty much the same to the early access game

castle vein / versus

For me is also a almost perfect game, but my issue is the setting, working for a fetus in a room full of the survivors of a mad max movie is not that awesome or interesting for me to work with. 😅

Ultrakill is a game where you do cool shit accidentally and the accidentles are always the coolest I once tossed a few coins in the air tossed them and hit two street cleaners tank and an enemy charging a projectile so it went Ding ding ding boom

This is one of the first fps games that has good boss fights

Hope Vampire Squid does add more content to MEATGRINDER and I played it for the first time the day of writing this comment and unlocked all 13 of the game's existing achievements on Steam in just around the third hour that I burned on playing it. I was giving MEATGRINDER as a Steam gift birthday present from my dad this year and played each of my birthday gifts of Steam games except for this until what I mentioned in my first sentence of this comment. MEATGRINDER clearly was inspired by those custom maps from fellow indie shooter Prodeus where you jumped from automobile roof to automobile roof. That's pretty much what MEATGRINDER's entire gameplay is that exact customed map from Prodeus! I love the idea of the grapple hook coming from your leg rather than either your arm or your double barrel shotgun! Nice video by the way. I also wasn't too keen with the level where you're inside the Dune like worm!

ultrakill is drugs and i love it like check this shit out a can shot a core then do a power slam making the enemies fly and shoot the red railgun AT the core and create a nuke go BOOOM like that felt so satisfying

You should do a followup review after 1.1 that launches thrusday. EVERYTHING has changed and improved. No more always online. Much better optimization. New hatred free chest and key system. Skill tree. Hammers. The already implimented new hatred system, more raventowers.

Shits better than mayonnaise, the review and the game

I am a TEKKEN player..........this game is fun.

If you don’t think overkill is good. Then there’s just two words to say. “Skill issue”

Thank you so much for this review! You did a great job at expressing the pros and cons. I very rarely give lower-rated Steam games a try, but I think you talked me into it- so long as my rig can handle the game.

4:23 Ha, smooth like button suggestion! :)

8:43 along with the build up there is a constant intensity build up because of what i believe to be shepard tones which is a sound that sounds as if the pitch is constantly going up to reach a climax that doesnt happen as its masking the loop of the sounds increase with a decreasing sound

That was nasty holy crap 👍 9:48

A month later, I have been playing the game since launch and can positively say once you get past the learning curve of raiding, this game is very very addicting and just raiding one more base becomes needed.

This riview confus me like all game have rng ? And like Isaac is the same did you play ?
