My biggest regret is not memorizing the characters better in the opening part of the game. Like something terrible happens to one of them and I’m like who was that again? And it messed up my experience a little bit lol
I was thinking they could have spent more time with the characters in the beginning because it was hard to care about characters aside from the other main 3 on the rig. I don't think it's easy to do because you can't do a whole hour of setup and then the danger happens. People would complain about it taking too long to start.
@@JustapErson yeah, I think the main 3 are the emotional ones while the others are more shock value and inflict a feeling of despair. Your point is very valid but I think the way they did it works out the best for the game personally.
This whole video is like a 9.95/10. The only thing bringing it down is the fact Mk keeps sprinting everywhere when he isn't crawling, like bro the things can hear the sprinting 😂
And I think sprinting all the time is what cut about 2 hours of play time out of it. It took me about 5 hours to finish and I got the achievement for barely ever running. I think I would prefer that experience more to the accelerated one. The game is all about the atmosphere and the immersion.
The game lends itself to either playthrough. Like, if you think about it, if you were in that situation, you would either run to safety or crawl yourself there. So, two different experiences of the same story.
@@UberNoodle MK's walkthroughs are not what they once were. Too much rushing, not enough savouring. He gets to some vistas and some graphically very impressive parts of some games and just sprints through them, completing ignoring them. Absolutely kills the experience.
Did anyone notice his slight voice change before he got on the helicopter? Like I could *just be slow but it sounded like his voice was distorted just before they got on and crashed
@@winterknight5923 Surprisingly, game wasn't that scary. It kind of sells itself in the style of 'Alien: Isolation', but it's not. I never had to hide in lockers. It's pretty easy to get around the "mutants" or whatever they are. And the moments where they're chasing you, even though there's not QTE's or anything, they feel like scripted scenes where you'll definitely escape if you just keep running. Ultimately, this game scares you with atmosphere and sound mostly. It does a good job of making you feel isolated, claustrophobic, and like you're being hunted. But it's really just a horror-themed walking sim IMO 🤣. Just keep moving forward, run when you have to, crouch under something when you have to.. that's about it.
@@ItsJustRyansChannel I was just making a joke about if a horror game prompts me to look behind me with a single button, that it actually means for me to haul ass faster than the speed of light. 😂😂😂
Only 6mins into the video and I gotta say, loving the Scottish VA's for this game but more so love the translated subtitles, just for those who don't quite get the slang.
I love that instead of whinging about no understanding the language/slang or having to read subtitles, you actually just go along and enjoy the game anyways. Cheers mate
I actually feel bad for gibbo like jesus fucking christ when he’s talking to him self after turning into a monster he said some words like”tell my mum,tell her ,i’ve be home soon” it’s so heartbreaking
When you decide to work on an oil rig to avoid the police but end up being the protagonist for a survival horror game. Your thoughts drift towards "How the hell did I end up working on an oil rig and somehow ended up constantly running away from fleshy eldrich abominations that used to be my friends and co-workers?" Then a man in a fully body armor and three slit visor helmet walks up to you and places a hand on your shoulder "Fuckin' tell me about it."
@@ndroidryan7659 I see no similarities to this and dead space, maybe the whole humans getting transformed and the biomass building something on the ship but it in SWTD there isn’t a lot of jumpscares, you can’t really fight back against the monsters and there’s no real backtracking or side area’s involved
@@Baller-e2k I mean how it’s the thing that mutates the people, and shows images of something they love and makes them trip the fuck out. Never said gameplay wise
While the game is on the short side, I can forgive it because the total package is incredibly well made. Games and stories such as these tend to benefit from a shorter run time, as soending too long with it can result in it feeling drgged out. Fantastic and very real voice acting. Everyone felt like somebody you'd meet in real life. And the ending? Heartbreaking, but tonally fitting with a Lovecraftian story such as this.
True, they were doomed from the very start. The part you mentioned about the game feeling dragged out and repetitive could definitely still be felt throughout playing some parts of the game, albeit it being rather short. Since there could only be so much going on on an oil rig, after all.
I hope we get a dlc where we can play Brodie/Finley/Roy so we can see their perspective through all this and maybe get a better idea on what that weird fleshy mushy stuff that was spreading across the rig and crew members
"Incredibly well made"? It's got a shtton of glitches, the facial animation looks emotionless and the protag can't stop saying "jesus" every 5 seconds which is irritating. It's overall good sure but far from perfect.
This game was really good. I liked how most of the crew mates all treated each other like family, felt kind of sad watching them die, especially Innes and Roy.
I am loving the difference in the subtitles, especially as someone who understands what they are actually saying, lol. This game also just reminds me of an older game with a very similar feel called Cryostasis. Funnily enough that was about as well optimised as this game looks to be.
So it's like a "The Thing" style monster from what I understand. Decent writing. Suspense is just right. Great voice acting. Pretty cool AA game imo; I'll buy it just to support the devs
It's like a mixture of The Thing when it comes to assimilation on their victims and Carrion the way the monster moves and clinging on to walls with it's tendrils
Not properly though. The Thing is specially unnerving cause it can change and mimic. Its the only real among us imposter. Those are more Lovecraftian freaks
Sort of, but only in the sense that it's a mutating alian biomass monster, which is only part of it. It also has otherwordly properties, like warping the environment around it and invading peoples minds, which elevates it to a Lovecraftian/ cosmic horror level monster. It even looks and behaves almost identical to the "entity" from the film adaptation of Lovecraft's book "A Color Out of Space"
The voice acting is phenomenal, like for example: I didn't notice this in the first watch but i noticed it during the second watch that when Rennick is arguing with Archie to leave the crew behind, Rennick has a slight hint of struggle in his voice because he's fighting for control but doesn't want to make it obvious that he's turning into one of them, it's so realistic and believable.
@Scarf215I’d assume the original monster, whatever it was, snuck onto it somehow before it took off. Seems like it can understand human speech somewhat, given the hallucinated voices, and the fact they were all heading to the helicopter was being very loudly announced across the entire rig before it happened means it probably heard that too. One would’ve just had to hide in there and wait. Once it took off, everyone in the helicopter was a dead man.
Tbh, the game was a little glitchy during that part, and it sort of ruined the immersion, just by a little bit tho. Also, every time when Caz opens a door, it fades into a black screen but then flashes a screen of the door again, but that is just small issue, quite consistent though.
@@Cringility I think they can't load everything in the game and when opening a door, in the middle of it was loading a new map and unloading what you have been through
The most tense part throughout the entire game would be that of sneaking past Muir. That thing was absolutely terrifying to look at, just one glance strikes fear into the heart. As for voice acting, as many in the comment section have praised, the most notable part was when VA of Caz try to voice the sounds of the shaking and shivering; absolutely perfect and real af.
This was incredible. I am a huge fan of The Thing, alien, etc. and this really captured the essence of that fear of the unknown and imminent danger. Truly a great experience!
I'm flabbergasted that IGN gave this game a 6? It is an absolute treat to horror and RE fans like me. MKiceandfire made the whole gameplay like watching a horror movie and I love it. That scene with Roy broke me, I was absolutely hoping that he survived😢
I mean I kinda get it. As a cinematic experience the graphics and acting is amazing. but gameplaywise you're just doing the same generic stealth stuff over and over and over and over again with no real puzzles or challenge.
@@Baller-e2k They do, but unlike resident evil 7. There's not much of change, or gameplay. Run: Destroy vent. Run again: away from a monster. Run some more: new area. Repeat: Run.
This is amazingly well-written _and_ voiced...and yet in a game about Scottish oil rig workers, this is one of the few uploads I could find without profanity censorship. Thank you so much!
@kubzos I noticed that, too, and I think it happens occasionally when someone gets called a see-you-next-Tuesday (because I don’t trust YT not to shadowcensor my comment if I actually spelled it out).
They censor the video multiple times by zooming in so you can't read the subtitles, and by cutting out the audio. Funnily enough, they entirely glossed over a "cvnt" mid video. Easy to miss it amongst the thousands of "fuck"s, "fucking"s, or "fucked"s being said though.
I'm not sure I'd call it consciousness by the end. McClearly recognized him. Probably knew him. He didn't identify McCleary. Just because he saw a person doesn't mean he saw it as anything more than meat. I suspect it got him only recently, given it hadn't gotten... Out of hand.
@xwarockx3959 not really I played it and the suspense only lasts as long as you're own ability to recognize how telegraphed everything is. The checkpoints are too generous and the methods of traversal and stealth are too linear for suspense.
Well of course, when you're just watching it and not playing it. You've got to be in it to experience it, and this definitely is a game that is miles better when playing than watching a passive video.
I freaking live for cosmic horror. I will die in a cosmic horror event leaving a diary of the events that occur. It has been a while since we get this good of a game. The voice acting, the visuals, the concept and athmosphere, also the story telling. Everything is just perfect.
I love how his memories are like signs of him becoming part of the hive mind , like how the other guy was talking about his wife and kids , and caz remembering his as well plus addair knowing what caz was doing it’s like them all having their own unique individual memories getting brought out of them and each time caz has them he had to have a stronger will each time to get out of it
This is horrifying. I've been underestimating the Whales and Abnos, but they must be more or less like this as well. God... I'm really grateful these things aren't real. Great video, by the way. Great game, too. It feels like watching a movie.
Currently playing, just restarted the generators and avoided Addair. This game has fantastic audio design with stellar voice acting and some really good atmosphere. Superb quality
MKiceantfire has to be omnipotent, making a full gameplay video for games in one try right after their release before the time that anybody should even have loaded in
29:05 - A ladder drops down right as you pass this area. I skipped it as well and went straight for turning off the steam pipes. So FYI to those going to play it.. a ladder drops down RIGHT here and no one has a clue what's up there lol
Why didn't Caz at least give the insulin injection and then try CPR? What could it hurt? He has no idea how long ago Roy's heart stopped. Maybe it doesn't work the same when you go in to "diabetic shock" or whatever. But I would have tried CPR for at least a few minutes.
Speaking as both a type-1 diabetic and an endocrinology nurse educator Roy was likely not taking his insulin for a very long time if he was lapsing into diabetic ketoacidosis that quickly. Caz did say that Trots had finally gotten Roy's insulin shipment in. Since he was in DKA, he was long past the point where a single dose of insulin would have done a damned thing. Once you're in DKA, you're looking at several days in the intensive care unit on an IV insulin drip. If you're in late stage DKA, you're likely already in a coma and/or dying. I've been there, it's agony and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.
Not everyone's trained in CPR, and as we can see from the frankly embarrassing state of the *emergency escape lifeboats*, the rig was rundown and probably fudged a few inspections by way of pounds under the table. It's probably mentioned in some corporate rule log here or there that employees are required to know it, but -- Hell, you'd be shocked -- or maybe not -- by how many that flaunt their own requirements and just keep them to look good for the feds. Not to mention, uh... Can you really say McCleary was in a rational state, clearly thinking? I wouldn't have made it half as far as he did.
as some who has almost died from going into diabetic keto-acidosis (aka blood sugar levels so high, your blood starts turning acidic and basically kills you from the inside out), it takes a lot more than just a hit of insulin and some CPR; even if Roy was still alive at that point, he would've needed a full emergency room's worth of treatment and (in my case) 4 days in the ICU to fix everything. like even if they weren't in the middle of being terrorized by some cosmic horror that's actively flooding and tearing the rig apart, they would've had to rush him to a mainland for that. not to mention diabetes care wasn't that great back then either, like idk if they mentioned whether he was type 1 or 2, but my grandpa died from type 1-related complications b/c his everyday, non-emergency care was basically one shot of insulin a day. and i shouldn't even have to explain how ineffective that can get over a lifetime.
I love the game mode provided in the earlier part. For someone who enjoys game with storyline and not a fan of challenges much, for sure I'll choose story mode!
Quality over Quantity gameplay. Great story, Voice Acting and Graphics are all well brewed. Hope another amazing game comes out in the following years.
Very pleasantly surprised, just started playing today voice acting is probably the best I have heard in any game. Set in 1975 very refreshing I hope this style of game is not a one off.
I love the development that The Chinese Room studio has had. Witness its evolution from Dear Esther, Amensia to Machine for Pigs, Everybody's gone to the rapture, and this excellent game. I wish they continue like this.
The humour is amazing in the game. There's one line where Roy says on the phone, "Remember, Jesus loves you. Everyone else thinks you're a c__t." I almost choked on my coffee when I was playing that.
I NEVER watch any videos of gameplay of any games because, tbh, I find it boring... BUT... I was perusing the Xbox PC app and came across this game. I didn't get much as far as the pictures and videos on the Xbox preview went, so I turned to TH-cam. Your video was the first I came across. I've been so engaged in this video that I've sat here glued to my screen. It plays out like a thriller/horror movie - and I love it. This game was put together really well, and then with the gameplay by MKIceAndFire, it kept my attention the whole time.
*Just came to check the video after seeing an "explained" video on the monsters of this game. Man, I really love horror games with grotesque/terrifying design like you see in RE games. I wish there were more horror games out there with creative monster designs*
Recently I have found myself watching loads of play throughs and every game I think of, nostalgic or just my type of game you always come up,, big love for that
I like that MK uploads at such a high quality but one thing I've noticed is he absolutely obliterates all atmosphere in games by sprinting through them, trying to be the first person to upload a video. Like he doesn't actually care about the story or the excellent dialogue or whatever's happening, his mind is solely set on finishing the game so he can upload. idk anyone else noticed that?

Can we all appreciate that Caz actually argued about doing things instead of happily doing them like so many protagonists in other games?
Yeah it’s realistic, nobody in their right mind is going to go back down into danger freely
I agree
@andie8037 He's definitely not a silent protagonists.
cAZ IS an idiot, try seeing it.
after watching for logner - he's also a cretin
Can we just say the REAL MVP of this walkthrough is that one flathead screwdriver. It broke over a dozen padlocks and could still unscrew duct vents.
Cadal might build cheap lifeboats, but blew their budget building them screwdrivers out of fucking depleted uranium
I have a kidney 2:03:00 bad luck 😢
The screwdriver Is MVP🪛
Got a feeling the screwdriver was brought by the crew personally/ not from the company budget (nor Rennick) themselves
Agreed!
All of this, and he didn't even have breakfast.
The indomitable spirit of the Scottish drill worker
What about Second Breakfast?
See, if this game were set in Ireland he'd have had a liquid breakfast😂
But he was good at the 'leccy!
Nor a cuppa tea lad
Im sorry but the Roy scene was absolute perfection! The VA, Emotions and just everything about this game is absolutely insane!
yea
Im Scottish from Edinburgh my family lives in Glasgow this game is awesome and spot on with the accents.

Damn bro you’re right
Roy dying had me 5 stages of grief bro
real
2:28:58 "Aye...I want off this fucking rig"
Oh man that line was so FIRE its like Caz just awakened his beast mode after Roy's death
🏴 SCOTLAND FOREVER 🏴
SCOTLAND FOREVER
SCOTLAND FOREVER
What's the difference between you people and Irish people?
@@shrim1481 Very little, we both hate England, That makes us friends.
the voice acting actually sounding fire.
And good writing too. The game development is on point.
Of all the monsters there, only Roper was able to maintain his consciousness.
I'm not sure I'd call it consciousness by the end. McClearly recognized him. Probably knew him. He didn't identify McCleary.
Just because he saw a person doesn't mean he saw it as anything more than meat. I suspect it got him only recently, given it hadn't gotten... Out of hand.
Feels like it would've made a better movie than a game.
Yeah, it's very reminiscent of John Carpenter's The Thing.
I feel like it would be vastly different jf one was playing it than watching someone else playing it
@xwarockx3959 not really I played it and the suspense only lasts as long as you're own ability to recognize how telegraphed everything is. The checkpoints are too generous and the methods of traversal and stealth are too linear for suspense.
Nahh I'd rather experience it in the game because I feel like I'm in it than watching a movie version.
Well of course, when you're just watching it and not playing it. You've got to be in it to experience it, and this definitely is a game that is miles better when playing than watching a passive video.
Just the thought of being in the middle of the ocean while dealing with a collapsing rig and a parasitic bio-organism is absolutely terrifying.
Crazy when the Addair dude seemingly got stuck and you just waddle right past/through him lmao 😂
The ending got me messed up
Me 2 I'm crying so bad
@@Miss-Insanityreal
So truth...
I freaking live for cosmic horror. I will die in a cosmic horror event leaving a diary of the events that occur. It has been a while since we get this good of a game. The voice acting, the visuals, the concept and athmosphere, also the story telling. Everything is just perfect.
thanks for all of the game play, this one entertains me to no end with just the dialog being different from the translated sub-text.
That heater thing at 36:37 is so 70s/80s Britain. Remember my grandparents having one.
10:53 He doesn't know that one Screwdriver kept him alive the whole game.
I love how his memories are like signs of him becoming part of the hive mind , like how the other guy was talking about his wife and kids , and caz remembering his as well plus addair knowing what caz was doing it’s like them all having their own unique individual memories getting brought out of them and each time caz has them he had to have a stronger will each time to get out of it
The voice acting, music and sound design of the creatures is amazing.
I laughed everytime Caz was running😂 his flailing hands are too hilarious
This is horrifying.
I've been underestimating the Whales and Abnos, but they must be more or less like this as well. God... I'm really grateful these things aren't real.
Great video, by the way. Great game, too. It feels like watching a movie.
Woah, nice to see a fellow PM sleeper agent here.

Caz McLeary, the first main character i know that argues about the other's tasks instead of happily acept them and do them
Your wrong about that
Caz has won the award for "worst day at work EVER"
Currently playing, just restarted the generators and avoided Addair. This game has fantastic audio design with stellar voice acting and some really good atmosphere. Superb quality
Roy’s death hit really hard. It was sad how cat got the Insulin for Roy and Roy still dies.
52:24 ''Does they even notice the mess?''
*throws cup*
''Uaagh! Ah-haaaaaagh!''
Had me laughing 😂
MKiceantfire has to be omnipotent, making a full gameplay video for games in one try right after their release before the time that anybody should even have loaded in
29:05 - A ladder drops down right as you pass this area. I skipped it as well and went straight for turning off the steam pipes.
So FYI to those going to play it.. a ladder drops down RIGHT here and no one has a clue what's up there lol
I like that the subtitles even translate the slang they say lol
I appreciate your videos so much yo. You play games my anxiety can’t handle
I appreciate the whole no commentary upload, cheers
52:12 - 52:48
i swear my soul left my body when i heard the "thing" running from behind.
IT FUCKING HURT WHEN SCOOBY DIED. I LOVED SCOOBY BRO😭🙏
Why didn't Caz at least give the insulin injection and then try CPR? What could it hurt? He has no idea how long ago Roy's heart stopped. Maybe it doesn't work the same when you go in to "diabetic shock" or whatever. But I would have tried CPR for at least a few minutes.
Speaking as both a type-1 diabetic and an endocrinology nurse educator Roy was likely not taking his insulin for a very long time if he was lapsing into diabetic ketoacidosis that quickly. Caz did say that Trots had finally gotten Roy's insulin shipment in.
Since he was in DKA, he was long past the point where a single dose of insulin would have done a damned thing. Once you're in DKA, you're looking at several days in the intensive care unit on an IV insulin drip. If you're in late stage DKA, you're likely already in a coma and/or dying.
I've been there, it's agony and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.
Not everyone's trained in CPR, and as we can see from the frankly embarrassing state of the *emergency escape lifeboats*, the rig was rundown and probably fudged a few inspections by way of pounds under the table. It's probably mentioned in some corporate rule log here or there that employees are required to know it, but -- Hell, you'd be shocked -- or maybe not -- by how many that flaunt their own requirements and just keep them to look good for the feds. Not to mention, uh... Can you really say McCleary was in a rational state, clearly thinking? I wouldn't have made it half as far as he did.
He also could've exercised to lower his BG if it was THAT cripplingly high.
This was in the 70's, things were different. Youd be surprised how many people still cant perform proper CPR, even offshore
as some who has almost died from going into diabetic keto-acidosis (aka blood sugar levels so high, your blood starts turning acidic and basically kills you from the inside out), it takes a lot more than just a hit of insulin and some CPR; even if Roy was still alive at that point, he would've needed a full emergency room's worth of treatment and (in my case) 4 days in the ICU to fix everything. like even if they weren't in the middle of being terrorized by some cosmic horror that's actively flooding and tearing the rig apart, they would've had to rush him to a mainland for that. not to mention diabetes care wasn't that great back then either, like idk if they mentioned whether he was type 1 or 2, but my grandpa died from type 1-related complications b/c his everyday, non-emergency care was basically one shot of insulin a day. and i shouldn't even have to explain how ineffective that can get over a lifetime.
I love the game mode provided in the earlier part. For someone who enjoys game with storyline and not a fan of challenges much, for sure I'll choose story mode!
Standard mode is fine. It's not that challenging. You've just got to take your time.
12:31 THIS PART LMAOO HIS ACCENT MAKES IT FUNNIER😭😭
Give those voiceactors a raise
Why is it that games have better storylines than Hollywood movies today ? Hollywood hasn't got any imagination or integrity.
This game is so aggressively Scottish, I love that about it
Been looking for this one, thank you.
VERY EMOTIONAL. also, Caz is HECK of a HERO. he Was the LAst 1 to die and he died making sure he KILLED that Disgusting Monster Bastard.
Quality over Quantity gameplay. Great story, Voice Acting and Graphics are all well brewed. Hope another amazing game comes out in the following years.
I was actually said when Roy passed. They did that well, and the ending wow. Loved this. 😍
Very pleasantly surprised, just started playing today voice acting is probably the best I have heard in any game. Set in 1975 very refreshing I hope this style of game is not a one off.
God the way Caz talks so sweetly about and to his wife goes straight to my heart, he’s the sweetest
The part that the Rennick-thing keeps saying Mcleary's name, all I hear is McCready instead. It does give John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) vibes.
That was definitely intentional
This is the best voice acting I have ever seen in a videogame since Red Dead Redemption 2 and it’s not being discussed enough
Feel like I’m watching a Netflix or Amazon movie - Been glued to this from the start - Good action and good script writing 👍
The rate of failure on the lifeboats makes me think that they weren't inspected.
Cheapskates they are, cannae afford to get inspections despite having probably millions of pound in that bank of theirs!
The protagonist has excellent physical conditioning, he would easily join any military special force. 😂😂
I love the development that The Chinese Room studio has had. Witness its evolution from Dear Esther, Amensia to Machine for Pigs, Everybody's gone to the rapture, and this excellent game. I wish they continue like this.
Addair: “I can hear your heart beat”
Caz, hiding by banging into walls with his flashlight on: “ah Christ, fuck, Christ, fuck”
😂Caz flipping Brodie off was hilarious. @2:05:54
"Prick" 😂
Even in the face of death humor is important
The humour is amazing in the game. There's one line where Roy says on the phone, "Remember, Jesus loves you. Everyone else thinks you're a c__t." I almost choked on my coffee when I was playing that.
I NEVER watch any videos of gameplay of any games because, tbh, I find it boring... BUT... I was perusing the Xbox PC app and came across this game. I didn't get much as far as the pictures and videos on the Xbox preview went, so I turned to TH-cam. Your video was the first I came across. I've been so engaged in this video that I've sat here glued to my screen. It plays out like a thriller/horror movie - and I love it. This game was put together really well, and then with the gameplay by MKIceAndFire, it kept my attention the whole time.
*Just came to check the video after seeing an "explained" video on the monsters of this game. Man, I really love horror games with grotesque/terrifying design like you see in RE games. I wish there were more horror games out there with creative monster designs*
Never thought I will cry to the ending. He deserved to see his wife and kids after all he went through.
The Scottish accent makes this game great a horror with a few giggles aswell
Indie games devs absolutely cooked oj this game, a well crafted story, I shed a few tears.
Seems like a fun game to play. Loving the dialogue between the crew.
Recently I have found myself watching loads of play throughs and every game I think of, nostalgic or just my type of game you always come up,, big love for that
I've never even heard of this, but it looks incredible. The voice acting is fantastic 😮
I actually love that the subtitles translate all the slang!
Nah man, I was REALLY hoping Roy would make it DUDE!!! Damn game got my hopes up.
I really like the dialog in this game
Coming from a Gaswegian they fuckin nailed it.
@@calummclaughlin7464idk who they or anything but they sound great considering I'm half way done with the video, any suggestions from them ?
@@menaceofnorthmemphiswhat, Glasgow?
Thank you for making this video my dood meng
SCOTLAND FOREVER!!! 🏴
Thst ending gets me every time. I've never cried over a video game before this.
Can we talk abt how mk was like what the hell happened at the glitch at 1:14:30 around. LMAO
I like that MK uploads at such a high quality but one thing I've noticed is he absolutely obliterates all atmosphere in games by sprinting through them, trying to be the first person to upload a video. Like he doesn't actually care about the story or the excellent dialogue or whatever's happening, his mind is solely set on finishing the game so he can upload. idk anyone else noticed that?
I love how the subtitles translate the slang used in this game
I think it's adorable that the subtitles translate the various Scottish-isms into plain English 😂
The act of voice actor for Cuz and Suze.. damn real cool..
The voice acting in this game is out of this world
Really kills the immersion when you sprint every waking second and bunny hop for no reason...
