Brandon’s voice has become so nostalgic for me, I used to listen to his voice on GameTrailers reviews all the time. I’m glad he’s still doing voiceovers for your reviews! Definitely my favorite voice for reviews. This game looks great, I’m definitely going to pick it up.
Well yeah, Easy Allies was formed by the ex staff of GameTrailers when they shut down... Kinda like Kinda Funny Games and Greg/Colin after they left IGN though that case is a little different overall
Not really. This game has been highly reported on and kept up with. especially with all the BOTW comparisons. And name change. No nno. Marketing was fine. It's just you. Stella your Weight up.
I buy my Ubisoft and Ea games off g2a so the devs don’t get any money hahaha fuck em! But I award company’s like Cd Projekt Red and LARIAN Studios with my actual money
I took a chance on this and am having sooo much fun with it. No compromises, no expectations. It just feels good to play this. And the difficulty can make the combat as much of a challenge or a breeze as you want it to be. Even on non-pro PS4 this still looks amazing and runs great.

Does Ubisoft not know you can release games without all of them being dropped within 5 weeks of each other? This just stifles potential sales with everything being so close, especially when its games generally appealing to the same demo.
This might be my most anticipated PS5 title. It's BotW, but runs at 60fps on console, has a deeper combat system, and is set in a cartoony Greek mythology world...it's the God of War open world game I always wanted.
Lack of good enemy variety is one of those things that always kill a game for me, specially in open worlds. It's a bummer that this game suffers from this, specially considering how much potential for creature variety the greek mythology has.
I knew that this game took a lot of inspiration from BotW, but the low enemy variety was one of the things that game was most heavily criticized for -- weird that they didn't focus on improving that aspect after all the feedback.
I can't wait for the mechanical chicken created by Daidalos to go back in time during Typhon's attack and allow for the gods to defeat him before Fenyx even shows up.
The 30 hour length (non-completionist) is such a huge plus in my book. I'm 105 hrs into Odyssey and there's no way I'm going to invest near that much time in another game anytime soon.
Glad this game was done well, as I have been looking forward to this Zelda like game for the PS4 since I first saw the trailer long ago. Glad you all said it was a fun solid adventure romp
This game looks a lot better than I imagined it would be, sadly the greek mythology setting doesn't appeal to me that much, got tired of it after AC Odyssey
Same. After spending 100+ hours in Odyssey, it's really hard to justify spending another 30-40+ in this game. It seriously looks exactly like Odyssey except with a more cartoony style. The combat looks the same, the enemy types look the same (cyclops, minotaur, other greek mythology monsters), and even the ui and menus look straight out of Odyssey. The only things that I see different are that the main questline looks less serious than Odyssey (though Odyssey had a LOT of less serious sidequests) and the BotW-like shrines. And if you end up going to places that you went to in Odyssey/dlc, like Elysium or the Underworld, it's going to get old fast if you've already played through those locations in Odyssey. I mean in this review alone ive seen shots of the columns or broken pillars, the flora, the architecture, the stonework, the forts, and the statues and I feel like ive already played this game before.
I also recommend Hades. Playing Hades made me hungry for more Greek mythology and I was never interested in it beforehand. The music, combat, art direction and character writing are second to none.
Yeah I definitely question the score discrepancy there. I’ll have to wait and play it myself to make any judgements of course, but I wonder what makes Breath of the Wild that much better? Originality maybe?
That was my thought. BoTW only had 12 base enemy types as far as I can find, but that wasn't a problem at all. Zelda goggles seen to have wiped that issue away possibly.
People have been yelling this at Ubisoft for years. Odyssey, Origins, and Black Flag, all could have been original cool IPs if they weren't bogged down by the AC title.
This game really came out of nowhere. I had no idea it was releasing this year. It always looked a bit underwhelming though when I saw the trailers and doesn't really showcase the power of next gen very well.
Every time the review cuts to a new scene, I'm just "yep, looks like Breath of the Wild". Not that it looks bad or anything, but it takes heavy inspiration on so many things!
Probably gonna buy it when its a bit cheaper. Hope this gets more attention and they make another one with... well more budget. Still has room for improvement and by that I mean enemy wise. Graphics are fine. Could be better, but they are not important too me.
This was the review I was most curious about, and I'm glad Damiani reviewed it because of the obvious connections to Zelda. Not disappointed (though there are too many games out right now, so I'll definitely wait for 2021 and a good sale price).
I think there's a good case to be made for buying the version that includes the season pass down the line because the chinese themed expansion looks like an additional game in everything but name.
Variety is always an issue with Ubisoft games. Why not cut the quantity and focus on quality? Does it really matter if the game is 15-20 hours rather than 30+?
Agreed. That and an often somewhat bland artistic design that makes their games feel like they were more produced by a committee than the vision of some inspired creator.
Remember children, BotW invented everything. Please remember to cite and source it whenever referencing any feature in an open-world game. I kid, of course but like Ubisoft did climb everything back in 2006 and glide everywhere with AC2 lol.
AGREED! I feel the pain as well! Between a full-time job and 2 kids...😩😩 hard to find time for games like this. Ima still get it....still play it..(at some point) but yup I'm no where close or ready for next gen. #itiswhatitis

Picked this and assassins creed Valhalla for £40.. just checking whether it’s a good purchase so came to easyallies as I always agree with their reviews
@@QuietLionGaming thanks. I think that’s right. I’m going with the Switch version to have it on a handheld plus my wife can play it on her switch too since I’m getting a physical copy.
Finally picked this game up on sale. It has its issues but what game doesnt? I personally love the art direction and the combat, while simple, is enjoyable. Perfect kind of game to grab on the cheap and sink a week or so into (depending on how much you game of course)
I just started BotW for the 1st time this season and I'm surprised this kind of open world game apparently hadn't been done sooner in the industry. FF15 came out just a few months earlier and still exhibited the same open-world tropes from like 2008.
@@TheLastDaysOfSorrow LOL yea i thought about that. Though I doubt the game started out as a open-world field setting when it was Versus13, and I thought the constant revisions would at least wipe the slate enough to evolve the genre a bit =P

Great review Damiani. By the way, does anyone knows if the camera of the game can be adjusted? It just looks too far for my taste.
The PC version of this is atrociously buggy. It took 2 hours to get past the first 18mins of gameplay due to the horrible loading times. The DRM it CONSTANTLY verifying and authenticating with the server to the point it forgets to load the assets of your sword for the first 2 mins of a fight. It's hard to ignore just how much they took from BotW, both in art direction and in mechanics. But I will say in color palette I saw it had more in common with The Witness than BotW's cel-shading.
Anybody who is playing this game? Probably played assassin‘s creed although I did not and it’s like understanding that that game is way bigger. The map is bigger. There’s way more to do and if you didn’t get burn out completing everything on that game, this one’s not gonna do that for you even if you do everything in this game I bet you don’t have 2530 hrs. of plane and out for the completion list and it’s kind of design for that because you can look at the map and see all the little checked off boxes of what you did
I'm willing to bet the performance issues and crashes are just Ubisoft quality control pumping the game out in time for Christmas more than anything. Either way, game looks amazing, and wowie zowie that song at the end is so fucking good.
The problem is Cyberpunk is 7 days after, the reviews are surprising for this. Ubi title are usually on sale on black Friday and the after Christmas weekend. Gonna pick this up end of month, combat looks better than breath of the wild, hopefully the dungeons are too
Just came here from IGN's review. No real surprise that this review is by far superior. The clips you use give me a much better idea of the game! Looks good!
Because it's an original title, new IP. This is why they say it is the best from Ubisoft this year. Two other games are just another sequels. Everyone is got tired of the same games year after year Ubi produce, so even such copy paste from Breath of the Wild feels like something fresh.
Yeah, they basically just copy-pasted every mechanic from BotW in how they look, feel and work... It doesn't look bad per se, but it has zero identity. I also don't really like how the map looks. Kinda looks like some big platforming puzzle rather than a world.
@@jroaduri It's runs fine on PS4 (Broke my rule with both this and Watch_Dogs Legion, though Legion was kinda ass and seems to have been fixed, was a game issue more than anything) and that PS4 Version gets a Free PS5 Upgrade and it seems that you can share your Save across multiple/all Platforms so 🤷♂️
So the review here says that the puzzles are great. Just got done watching the review on IGN and that reviewer complained over and over about the puzzles not being any good. I trust Damiani's opinion more than anyone on IGN. The IGN guy also complained about the power that allows you to see all the collectibles and challenges in the area. He said that it made it just feel like a chore to climb up high, scan the area, and head to the nearest point of interest because he just wanted to come upon these things by surprise. Wasn't smart enough to realize that all he had to do was not use the ability then. To be fair, he was probably just searching for negative things to say because Ubisoft didn't pay IGN enough for a better review.
Does it make sense to drop Genshin Impact for this? Although it's fun to play and explore, I feel like I'm going nowhere with that one, while this seems a bit meatier.
Genshin is a mobile game. It doesn't look like one but it still plays like one in some ways. In this game, Fenyx has as many if not more gameplay options than the 4 characters you control in Genshin since only a few buttons are used in combat. There's also the fact that Genshin is a mobile gacha game and keeping you on the hamster wheel is the whole point.
Didn't Valhalla just came out? Why would Ubisoft release 2 open world titles in such a short time? The game seems interesting, and it's the first i'm hearing about it
Great review! Fortnite and WOW, made single player games with this cartoony look not click for me anymore unless they are effectively stylized. Feels like AC: Odyssey with a free to play vibe
That’s because Zelda also in a major league created the concept of having a dungeon with puzzles to be Saul Dennet I mean not really because that kind of game it’s been around for 20 years but if you wanna believe Zelda created it go ahead
Funny, I tried it out on Stadia and thought it was a lot of fun. I have a great internet connection though so no lag on my end. Might want to check your connection before using Stadia.
The art style really bugs me off, the world is big, looks great in concept art but looks so dry, bad contrasting contours, and non-magical somehow. What about the supporting casts? Was traveling feels good and adventurous? I hope the goofy writing is better than what was shown..

That's what I was thinking. It'll drop in price by February.
Looks like a good game, will wait for a price drop though.
Same here. Seems to be on every single platform available. Which means price drops incoming :D

Something I love about Easy Allies' reviews are that I can always tell the final score (give or take 0.5 sometimes) from just the words.
I took a chance on this and am having sooo much fun with it. No compromises, no expectations. It just feels good to play this. And the difficulty can make the combat as much of a challenge or a breeze as you want it to be.

Yeah it's the same as with Breath of the Wild :(
Yes,it’s Greek mythology,there is so much to draw from
IGN said the opposite. Nice enemy variety. Their beef was the puzzles weren’t very good - which again is the opposite of this review. Weird.

Great review Damiani. I'll have to pick this one up
This review did a better job at showcasing what the game is about compared to the official Ubisoft trailer that is right above it in my feed lol
That’s because Zelda also in a major league created the concept of having a dungeon with puzzles to be Saul Dennet I mean not really because that kind of game it’s been around for 20 years but if you wanna believe Zelda created it go ahead
I waited to get the game 50% off. Despite completing a 100% play of AC Odyssey, I only played 7 hours of this game before putting it down for good.
After GoW and Odyssey I’m too burnt out on Greek mythology for this right now. Looks like a fun ps3-era style game though.
I tried it on Stadia and had a terrible time. How much of that was Stadia, who knows.
Funny, I tried it out on Stadia and thought it was a lot of fun. I have a great internet connection though so no lag on my end. Might want to check your connection before using Stadia.
I played the demo on Stadia a couple times and had no issue on my setup
i thought it was going to be 8.5 or 9 hahaah the review leading up to it felt like that!
The Allies give those out by default to Assassins Creed. This has the wrong name.
The art style really bugs me off, the world is big, looks great in concept art but looks so dry, bad contrasting contours, and non-magical somehow. What about the supporting casts? Was traveling feels good and adventurous? I hope the goofy writing is better than what was shown..
Same, I can't really say why but the art style is really unappealing.
I just got the gold version on sale from 100 for 20$ on my xbox Seties X. I hope it's fun!!!
"How many platforms is this game on?"
Ubisoft: "Yes"
Developer: Fuck.
You going to review Age of Calamity Damiani?
Looking forward to this. Between Demons Souls & Cyberpunk 2077 it will be a nice break game in between playing those
Definitely picking this up on sale in the new year. Looks fun, but I got Valhalla and soon Cyberpunk on my plate :D
How does it run on switch?
If this game had 2 player coop it would be an instant buy for me
Get over it, Casual.
Are there villages and npcs to talk to?
Anyone else hate the stamina meter being RIGHT next to you character? Way too kartuni for my taste but good review guys.
So you're telling me you found tech issues on an Ubisoft open world game? What? How?? :O
Which one of you got the luck of reviewing cyberpunk next week
wtf is Luna?
Game streaming service. Amazon equivalent of Stadia.
