Your editing makes the games fun and watchable thx for covering this
Great video, as always! I'd definitely be up for watching more of this
I would like to see more of it, but it is a pitty that we missed quite a bit from the beginning.
There are two more videos that cover the early game. The devs wanted me to showcase more of the mid-game so I decided not to start over.
@@GunsNerdsandSteel It's definitely a great game. There's a lot to see, explore and build. Read everything :)
Its a lot of fun and a good challenge. 1.0 has given the ability to customize difficulty and you can also save/load manually now (EA was save on exit only). Its def worth checking out.
I have about a dozen episodes starting from the beginning of the game if you're curious.
Thoroughly enjoy when you play these more in depth games like this and Icarus. I like these types of games but will most likely never play because I dont have the time. Great being able to watch!
Definitely looking forward to you continuing a series with this game.
Super stuff as always, Tem. I'd definitely be happy to see more of this.
I had a tegu as a pet. so cute. Love this game! i really liked watching you!
Wow, time grind! Looks great and would love to see more eps. Thanks Tem, cheers cobber.
There was a metal spike on the ground in the cave below the middle skeleton that looked lootable. might be useful
Yup! I missed that!
I was miming irl, its right there! ð
I'd love to see the vids you made at the start, this looks like an awesome game to play solo :) I really do love the crafting options but the time factor is a bit of a hesitation- those of us who are busy still parenting can't always take massive chunks of time out for game play. I love watching you exploring, I'm absolutely the nerd that would take all the time out to read the books and get totally familiar with the history and anthropology , heheh
Weird to find a Nabatean agriculture book here... I guess the explorers needed lots of reading material on their voyage. I suppose there could be similarities between this biome and that of southern Jordan, but I doubt they would have known that when they set out! Haha!
Isle of Hop ehh, I-Hop
26:49 Or maybe that ponce DeLeon murdered all his companions to keep the fountain for himself. Oh the great madness maybe.
This was a great watch... Thanks Tem!
I wanna see more. I've had this game on my wishlist for a while now just waiting for another sale to come up.
Hoping for more content with this game.
I would love to see you build a nice base with all the new crafting stations
Looks great, I hope you'll create more videos of this game. I think I'll give it a try too.
definitely would like to see more of this!
Let's see another one. I really enjoyed the first episode of this
LOOKING GOOD, enjoyed the video
I'd love to see more of this. Really interesting.
That's a super detailed game. Looks great! I think it'd make a nice series
Interesting game! Thanks for this look, I'd watch more of this for sure! Damn cats!
shure i like to see how you advance to the gunpowder age & your shack turned in a house
Leaping lizards?!! WTF? That's a thing? I thought reptiles were pretty slow. I guess not.
This game looks great. I wish you had started from the beginning. I haven't purchased a game in quite a while but watching you and Kage848 play it makes me want to buy it.
This is a very interesting game. Iâm not sure itâs for me, but I love when studioâs put together some more in depth interactive systems like this. Green Hell is another interesting one. I just am not sure I have the patience for them. ð
Always love your content sir!
Feels like it has enough depth to be interesting for a month or two, I'm happy to watch more.
Great videoâĶ the game looks amazing ðððž
please play more of this looks awesome
Love this game play through! Personally would like to see more.
This game looks sick. I may just have to play this one.
I wouldn't mind seeing you play more of this... IF you slow down a bit man! xD
You bumrushed into EVERYTHING. It made me laugh when you were looking at the shark on the map one second... and was underwater WITH the shark, beat up as you were, the next. If you're willing to take your time and not play like 'Welp, I can always revive, so actually playing like I want to live doesn't matter.', then this could be a great series to run through.
Well I had a certain goal in mind for the video - go to the new island, explore, come home. Then about 5 hours into recording I was in a hurry to wrap it up lol
Very cool game Tem, I'd watch more if you were happy to play it. I'll watch whatever content you make mate
I streamed the demo of this a while ago - it was fun even while in early development. Killing the first crab was extremely satisfying! Enjoy!
Will definitely watch more!
Hey TEM is the game actually worth it? Ive heard mixed things. I like these games. Ive heard though it turns into a real grind-fest as you progress. No real options to help alleviate the grind as you progress tech. Thx.
There was a big metal spike in the cave
The "iguana things" is a kimono dragon i believe......
Always love your content!
Would be interested in seeing more, though I suspect your schedule will be fairly full as we head into June...
This reminds me a lot of The Long Dark, 'cept for all the sun n' sand n' stuff.
I would like to see more of this even a season of it
This looks interesting. If the worlds were generated, it would make the game replayable. I would like to see more.
It's a great game if you like games like Green Hell, The Long Dark, etc. This one is a lot of fun!
Hey, yeah very nice and well made video. i always enjoy your kind of playing and commenting. I for sure would really enjoy to see the next part and continuation with like base building things, aswell as seeing you going on even more adventures after and with improvement.
This is definitely an interesting game to watch. Would like to know more details about what you can build and it's affects.
You'd need a huge base to get all of the crafting stations down and getting the resources for that kind of build would be a huge grind. This isn't the type of game where you can build a base in one sitting. It would take days since every time you chop a tree and make building kits, time is flying by and your hunger/thrist will increase and you'll have to take breaks for food and all that stuff.
This is a neat game. I would like to see more
I'd like to see more. The backstory is intriguing.
Oh my! You are like one of those who says they could take down a bear in a fight... trying to run from a big cat, as if you were going to outrun it hahahah
If you build a dock you can fast travel right to your base.
you should start a series with this game like you did with 7 days and helldrivers
Banger introð
2:33 I don't like this about survival games and is one of two reasons I haven't purchased this game. Tasks that forward you hours in time and not actually chopping trees to get wood. It may seem minor and petty, but I just don't like it. Otherwise, seems like a great game.
I want more! I try do decide if I want to get in the game myself
how are the bodies so decomposed on the ship looks like at least a year or two so where did the time go
Well I've been surviving on the island for about a month, still probably doesn't explain everything though
I see you are not familiar with death in the tropics. "In tropical climates, skeletonization can occur in weeks, while in tundra areas, skeletonization may take years or may never occur, if freezing temperatures persist. Natural embalming processes in peat bogs or salt deserts can delay the process indefinitely, sometimes resulting in natural mummification." -Wikipedia
@@desperategaming5784 can is doing a fair bit of carrying there lol
this feels like stranded deep meets green hell
Would like to see more of this
count me in for a full playthrough
Yeaaa more would be cool for sure plz
an hour to craft a campfire seems far fetched.
Yeah some of the times seem like they could be tuned a bit. But for most things the timer gets lower once you level up your skill in it
Lucky this is a game... IRL, jaguars climb trees!
played this game and it was amazing
Yes, more please!
How do you get the game to run smoothly? All I get is constant stuttering FPS is so low.
This might be a cool game the lore is crazy lol yea keep playing it
I've been playing this since you first tried it out. I wasn't sure how I'd like the gameplay due to the unique differences in the survival aspects of the game, but man was I hooked. It is NOT an easy game.... and you have to manage your resources well along with being prepared to enter new biomes.... otherwise the elements will take you out quick.
If you are on the fence about this game, I encourage you to give it a shot. it is well worth your time and money. Love that you have picked it up again and looking forward to seeing more of your gameplay @GunsNerdsandSteel!
Yeah I agree with you - it's not easy but it's pretty fun. I think the combat could still use work but overall I'm happy with the full release and I think it's a great concept
I assume all those crates can be opened?
Yes, more please.
I liked this game.
When the game review is sponsored by the game's publisher you know the review is gonna be good lol
Hope to see more :)
ouu havent seen the time system since The Long Dark such a cool system
More I say!
(I liked my own comment ðĒ)
It was so bad because you were just kinda rushing through it. I get its a job because you tookba sponsorship. Really doesnt do the game justice however when you just rush tbrough it. Unless thats your review of the game. Yhat by tge second island you were ready to just rush through and get it overwith?
Why would they add this stupid mechanic of time in everything? Dine with crafting but why can't I put something to cook and go do something else while it's being done? It has no sense...
The animals are overly agressive as well and you get sick way to easily. When he walked into that spider and could not do anything but get bit, I would be so annoyed by that. Not much has changed with 1.0, I played the demo over a year ago. Kinda sad.
What happened to the helldiver's weekly reports?it was great to follow what was happening until i can get a ps5 myself
The views tanked after like the first 2 episodes so he decided to stop
helldivers is old. HAHAHHAHA yikess
â@@Splappa09Gaming Shame
But... but... Where are the zombies? Kidding! Thanks for the look at the new game.
Thanks for checking it out! More zombie action soon!
@@GunsNerdsandSteel No problem and take your time. I wouldn't mind seeing more of this. A survival game that focuses on survival is kind of refreshing.
I would like to see more of it
interesting. didnt knew germany is in the buffalo region
i was thinking of wishlisting this, but not after the spider hitching a ride. nope.
The Island of Hop hehe
Yes i would like 2 see more please
Is this game gonna come out for console ðĪ ???
This game looks fun and I genuinely think this could be a fun series if you were so inclined. My only worry/thought is that on TH-cam, when it gets dark, its very, very dark and it's a bit hard to follow what you're up to. But very fun idea, and I like how in-depth this seems!
17:21 yea sure
something new, something fun :)
More please
I love it, but watch out for those sneks.
Its like taking fun games and making them tedious.
you play i watch:)
is it only First person view ?
Pity that it's only single player.
looks nice but again single player, why cant devs put at least co op in their games. survival games is best played with friends imo
ðĨð
Title is a bit misleading no? If youâre sponsored then of course youâll say the game is good
Hola
I hated this game. Controls are poorly coded, i.e., you have to use both mouse buttons just to throw a weapon. Character gets bogged down by adding feathers to your pack? Feathers? Gets weak from hunger, 2 minutes after eating? WTaF? Do not waste your money. Oh, and it crashes often, negating your work. Really poor game play, which is unfortunate because the concept was a good one IMHO.
Speaking of Sons of the Forest! Its 1.0 now!
old game. done in 2 days. What are you doing Casual HAHAHAHHA xpwaste
Percentage actually depends on player minutes. And minutes. I wait for that. Not for expression on TH-cam. Made that mistake before. TH-cam sponsored videos are scam.
Ok Iâve listened to this multiple times did Tem drop the f bomb not even 10 seconds in? ðŪð
