The game NAILS setting up an intriguing mystery and atmosphere up until the last 2 chapters. The music also is incredible. I still listen to it regularly when I study.
Awesome! Ixion seems pretty challenging to me, so considering how much I learned about Anno 1800 from your videos, it's great to see you tackling this one!
It's definitely a little challenging getting started because of lack of space and resources... It took me a few playthroughs of the prologue to really start getting a handle on the mechanics. It doesn't hold your hand at all!
Absolutely adored this game. I just wish it was slightly longer, and there was a sequel. So much lore left untouched. It really shows how it can be done.
Agreed. The first couple chapters have such an incredible atmosphere and does a great job of making you feel like you are against the literal universe. The build up of the threat throughout chapter 2 is top notch. They have some good writers on the team just wish they had a better vision for the ending.
@@pact-md5wp ya they even fleshed out chapter 5 a bit more recently but by then your either too safe or already dead the balance is a bit off for medium i felt
@@fearan9406 SPOILERS Having the 2nd chapter build up how terrifyingly powerful the etemenanki was by showing the aftermath of its zealous hunting only to jump to the 3rd chapter ready to fight tooth and nail but finding nothing but its debris scattered throughout the system is up there as one of my favorite moments in gaming. Ill never forget the "oh fuck...." feeling seeing the bridge wondering what the fuck destroyed it.
@pact-md5wp agreeded my first playthrough I spent so long researching all the high-level tech, only to find it a waste of time and entirely unnecessary to push through. It honestly kinda felt like they ran out of time/budget
Just a heads up, I haven't had any notifications from TH-cam of this video or any after it... I was perusing Discord and popped into your "area" to see if you were still uploading and realised you've done quite a few. Only mentioning as I may not be the only one and TH-cam is playing silly buggers :/. I had to unsubscribe and re-subscribe with all notifications as before and you seem to be showing back up in my list. Anyways, hope all is good and the SCUBA thing goes well for you 👍

bought it in the spring sale, spend my whole weekend playing it!
We need more F2 pov. Glad to see this game on your channel.
I love this game. Played it since launch.
Loved this game. I replay it often.
It is excellent iv played through it twice, the quality peters off a bit towards the end but the first 15 or so hours are real "ark of humanity" vibes

Love this game. 😀
I have my eye on this one as well. Is the spring sale still on? If not, I'll wait for the next one, I have a backlog of games to play anyway. 😁
It is still on right now!

its a shame you didnt record it when you played it the first time, im not interested in watching someone replay something for no reason
