I agree with most of your points, the game had potential but somehow the execution failed. I did like the real time exploration tho, I don't remember any recent turn based tactics game that did that before MYZ. The worldbuilding is nice too, kudos to the level designers. Combat felt like idk, xcom but watered down. BTW I just found your channel, glad to see you're focused in the genre, wishing you the best of luck!
If i could point the fail of it all I would say the story. You have build such a amazing world the story should have been better. Or choose a whole different story all together. Good step up just fail midway all the way to the end. Personally. And thank you!
Bad take. Dont let this man sully your chance at experiencing an amazing game. Yes its on the short end and a bit pricy for its length, but make no mistake. Its definitely quality over quantity. The story is decent but its definitely there to sell the setting and drive you forward. The setting is really something else though. And the dialog is rock solid. Characters give good performances and everything. And the gameplay front is stellar. It rewards thinking things through and scouting out to make a plan. Yes its still dice roll shots, but theyre far more lenient than something like XCOM. I never died and faulted a crappy dice roll. Its was my poor planning. This game was loved by the developers and it shows in every inch of it. Dont let this poor excuse for a review be what stops you buying this gem of a game.
Its awesome to see people who do like this game. I am glad you had a better experience then me. The game being pricy and short like you said. Is a red flag. Right now on ps store and steam is 35$. That is a bad deal. The game is 12 hours base version. The story fails. The ending is pretty trash. It builds up suspense on the Elder lying about everything. Just to show us he was right. Eden was empty. A bit of a pointless journey. Yes they discovered how they came to be, but technically the Elder saved them. Gave them freedom in the ark, and pretty much raised them to be able to defend themselves. Nothing worth note is in the dialog. I would say xcom is more lenient. You have a bigger squad with diverse abilities. And mutan yero zero gives you 2 action points. Players can easily find themselves. Just reloading then shooting. vs Xcom. Based on your abilities you can have more then 2 actions. So I would say xcom is more lenient.
...Did you really just say XCOM is more lenient. Ok yeah, you definitely have no idea what you're talking about man. I hate to talk crap on someone, but you cant be putting reviews out there when you can not accurately do as such. XCOM actively punishes players doing too well because it wants them to struggle. For starters, shot accuracy in XCOM does not exceed 95% and your squad will definitely wiff a good number of those shots. Not to mention soldiers who are wounded stay wounded for weeks while they heal. And thats not even actually going into how the game is coded to screw you over. Just a basic overlook clearly shows which game is far more lenient. You should not be putting out reviews when you can not talk on the subject. Its irresponsible and damaging to the developer Thank christ you're a small channel with no real reach.
Saying I shouldn't post because you don't agree with what I say is pretty weird. If that was the case, no one would post anything. Sense there is no channel everyone agrees with. To me Xcom is more lenient as to giving you more options to complete the game/ mission. You can have alot of soildes in your ship. More abilities you can use to get you out of situations, useful one and some that will allow you to do more than 1 or 2 or even 3 actions. No need to have so much anger my guy. I'm not going to stop posting because you wouldn't want me to. You don't have to watch anything of mine. I didn't force you to watch my video. Start your own channel. Talk about the games you like and whatnot. I do see how you addressed only 1 thing I said and ignored everything else.
Its not a matter of disagreement. Its a matter of being factually incorrect. And its such a big error that there is not point in engaging with each point when you cant even get the simple things right. I agree that people with many different opinions should be posting and sparking conversations, but the bare minimum is them to be knowledgeable on the topic they're talking about.
@po1arbear156 If you want it so bad, that's fine. I'll give you that Mutan year zero is more lenient than Xcom 2. So, let's address my other responses to your original comment. And I don't think. Deciding which game is lenient isn't a bare minimum of being knowledgeable over turn based games. I've only been playing turn based games for a year and half now. So I'm not a veteran, and I honestly don't care if I am or not. This is my channel and my opinions. Who knows. Years down the line of might feel different about this game. Doubt it. But who knows. This channel is only a year and a half old. Posted my first video about my 1st turn based game. I don't watch other turn based channels. I play by my rules. Not yours.
Thanks for the review. Everything is well explained and I really want to play the game. Too bad your channel is still so small. Your quality is really good. Good luck
