  • A meandering step by step guide to surviving all points in the Diameter of the Radius excluding the portion between points (5π/6) through (π/3) interjected by a brief discussion about the history of failed attempts to boil water.

    Something that makes this game even more impressive is that the devs have hinted that they made this game with little resources (hence black blobs for enemies) which is just insane given the quality.

    Commenting for the algorithm, video started playing randomly after others and i assumed from the production quality that it was a big channel.
    This was a really amazing video. Really captured what it felt to play the game. I've subbed and I hope you get more attention man!

    I am the aforementioned roommate. This game's m' jam! And this review did really nail down the experience.
    Funny story: I uh... I lost the "tool" you are given in the final sequence of the game. While pantomiming to the monologue, I accidentally let go of my controller and threw it uh... problematically far. Into the murk. Where I couldn't see it.
    Oops.

    5:17 "Roadside Picnic" was published 14 years before the Chernobyl Disaster. It's suspected to be a reference to the Kyshtym Disaster, a less famous Soviet nuclear disaster that occurred in 1957.

    I like STALKER that much I spent 6 hours getting a full colour tattoo of a dude in SEVA suit, in the swamps, being chased by a bloodsucker as he grabs for a compass artifact. If I was not living pay check to pay check I'd totally buy a VR set just for this game. Never heard of it but thanks for bringing it to my attention.
    Also good video, nice narration style, good jokes, some memes to boot. Have a new sub and good luck in growing your channel.

    14:05 AK-74 since it's 5.45.
    23:09 That's way more shells than that shotgun should be able to hold, judging by the length of the mag tube.
    23:33 Shorty Shpagin. Would benefit from a burst-fire mode since it's probably meant to be fired one-handed (in-game). Probably most especially effective against headcrab-sized beast-creatures that attack in swarms.

    To be fair, the only reason krocodil users occasionally need to get a limb or two hacked off is because instead of being chemists using the proper ingredients and ratios to formulate the intended product, it's a bunch of opiate zombies living almost entirely off of dope, cigarettes, booze and extremely short amounts of sleep (due to krocodil's extremely short half-life) who are boiling up their batches using battery acid, impure hardware store paint thinner and other quick and cheap solvent solutions in rusted soup cans and glass soda bottles which were never even bothered to be properly washed and sanitized. This causes the end product to be extremely impure and highly caustic. The intended chemical 'desomorphine', if medicinally pure, is only about as dangerous as any other prescription opiate, which is to say "still very dangerous to recklessly mess around with", but it won't typically be the direct cause for one's loss of major appendages.

      In that segment I actually used surplus rounds to emphasize my point, the weakest ammo type in game, but AP still does less damage than FMJ, and has an 80-90% penetration potential. So even when using the correct ammo, it's a dice roll, and I am a very bad gambler.

    This might be an odd comparison but this game kinda reminds me of Death Stranding; the big empty world filled with dark unalive entities who hunt you down all the while your only company is the bag on your back and the gun in your hand.
    Although the differences are also pretty clear as in death Stranding your job is to put America back together, in Into the Radius you seem to be unwittingly tearing Russia apart all for the sake of the shadowy overlords who value ill-gotten gains over the lives of the people both in and out of the radius..
