"15 to 16 hours at a go." Man, you're a trooper. Putting in the time to bring us reviews that aren't two minutes long or filled with sponsored bullcrap.
Wish I could play games for this long. Usually I get two or maybe three hours in, and I start itching to do something else. Short attention span, I guess.
@@Mr_Saxon not short attention span necessarily. It depends on what the something else is that you end up doing. If it's other media consumption, then it's just because you have a vast array of options to pick and doing one specific thing causes you to worry that you might miss out on something else.
What gives you that feeling? Origins and Odyssey were great AAA RPGs and another AAA Rpg is coming out that's most likely going to be awesome: Cyberpunk
@@leeworley6727 I really don't expect Dying Light 2 to be a great RPG, Dying Light has always been more about killing zombies in creative ways with parkour.
@@alexoelkers2292 He's probably got that idea, because Chris Avellone from lead writer of Obsidian games, like the real FO games. Is credited to be in on writing the story for DL2, and TH-cam clips have shown a dialogue wheel with choices, reminiscent of FONV, when speaking with other characters. So maybe?
Let's remember Spiders had at most 30 people working on this with a steady staff of 20 knocking this out....truly crazy the skill and dedication...was a preorder for me from the get go
I've loved Technomancer and, though they didn't have the budget to do everything they probably wanted to, you could see there was genuine passion there and a love for old-school bioware-style rpgs.
Someone trying to put on the shoes Bioware so blatantly threw out of the window ? Actual new single-player RPG ? Not only new franchise, but also fresh non-depleted world setting ? These guys deserve attention !
@GiRayne I think he meant the setting, i.e. colonial, renaissance, pirate fantasy. Which I agree with, basically all fantasy games are set in 14th century level tech, crossbows and plate armor but no firearms.
Can't throw away something that you never had to begin with. Most of all bioware staff are mostly new/ had something to really do with the older game projects that made them. Most the staff join in around about mass effect 3 development.. Especially the writers and leaders from the other games.
Meh. While I do think the game looks great and the medievalist in me is super into the "historical but subtly fantastical" weapon and armour designs, I'm still kind of burnt out on Western European fantasy setting. There's six other continents to choose from.

BRO I ONLY COME TO YOU FOR PC REVIEWS! So far every time I've come to your channel and I was interested in a game but just wasnt sure on buying, you have been spot on! So until we having different of opinions on games, I'm coming here for my pc reviews!👍👍👍👌👌👌
Dragoner Productions they have improved however they still aren’t Witcher level as far as there gamed quality. It’s an improvement based off there last game and hopefully they continue to improve. I hope they use this to expand there studio and hopefully make a really good next game
They probably need a bigger company to buy them like Bethesda or bioware so that they can perfect their games with a bigger budget. But then they'll just ruin them with their shitty ways so double edged sword.
I’m quite literally heaving a sigh of relief. I so wanted this game to be good. For the same reasons as we all did. I rarely disagree with you, man. If it’s a buy from you it’s a buy from me. Hallelujah.
@HardWarUK A game with a publisher is not an indie game. Games like Pillars of eternity, Divinity original sin, Grim dawn and hollow knight are textbook indie games.
@@mihailodjordjevic2191 These days indie seems to be considered small team. In the end I don't care about labels of what a developer is. A good game or interesting game is that no matter if they have a publisher or are a big or small team.
you dont have to max out any talent except for maybe lockpicking (and even then you can still go to the blacksmith and give your armor certain talents such as vigor, lockpicking and science. always have everything else on lvl 2 because once you get closer with your companions (and achieve the "friendly" status) they will all give +1 to a certain talent so whenever you need a 3 point talent to access a place or whatever you can just swap to that companion or use the gear that you crafted and you're good to go. just a small tip so new people dont their waste talent points
I have seen this review 4 times now, and I am still impressed by the production of this video. The edits are sharp, the content is high quality, and what's even better is that there is no cut to a sponsor. I'm glad I had added this video to my liked videos and have subscribed to you because of it.
Funny story.... I finished the first game in 30min :)))). The guy in the heavy red armor that kidnapped your sister was waiting for you to talk to him and continue the main quest. So i went into the forest and agroed a lot of NPC and took them to him thinking he will drop something. After 10sec BOOM he died and I got the final cut scene and credits :)))))))
A guilty pleasure of a game. Combining gear was oddly satisfying. Dual wielding animation was cool, and some of the armor sets were great. The voice acting was so bad that I adored it.
@@Terok_Nor deadly premonition falls into a similar category for videogames as the room does for movies. It certainly has it's 'so bad it's good' qualities but I love the game for its weird characters, unusual plot and quaint feel. That being said the gameplay was very janky, but two worlds seemed to have little to no redeeming qualities (though I haven't played it, just what I've heard). Deadly premonition had qualities that made it more fun/memorable for me than many triple A titles.
I’ve only played the second one. It was the biggest piece of shit I have ever played. I rented it and had it back in less than an hour and claimed it wouldn’t play so I could grab something else
It's so important to support these smaller studios especially considering that AAA gaming is nothing but a nest of microtransactions and anti consumer practice!
Just played it for an hour and I must say it is really awesome. For a little Studio like Spiders pulling off such an awesome work is incredible. It has some small flaws, like its not so fluent like I thought but thats reaaaaally not taking the fun of the gaming. The Story seems nice so far and I liked my first companion directly! I am a man who grew up with older Games like Diablo, Witcher, Origins and stuff so little lags or other stuff doesnt brother me. I am just impressed what a Few people can Do with love and passion for gaming. Hopefully they will become the next CD Projekt Red. We need more Games liket this and I really dont regret the buy. Enjoy it guys!
This is kind of the game I’ve always been wanting. A role-playing game set in colonial times. I wasn’t sure about it when it first came out, mostly because of the magic and stuff, but now I am planning on picking it up.
Eh those reviews have their place. Sometimes I love a nice, detailed review, other times I enjoy just a quick summary of the quality; pros and cons. Lots of those reviews also have long, detailed written reviews so I dont see an issue with them either way.
Janky games can be diamonds in the rough. Like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Kingdom Come, Deadly Premonition and Godhand. Even the Witcher started off as eurojank, then grew into 3 being one of the GOAT rpgs.
"Blunderbuss of Life-Changing Events +10". Seems accurate. When you hit someone with a blunderbuss, their life is sure to change. For the worse. Much, much worse.
Probably referring to Witcher 3 game style. I played TW3 to death. Now everytime I see a game like Greedfall I'm thinking... Should or shouldn't I. Mmmm
First time here, 1 minute 14 seconds in and I already like this guy. Definitely gonna be sticking around. Was gonna buy the game anyway but I’m sure glad I found this channel.
This is the review I was waiting for. Game came out, this was the first review on my list. I love Technomancer for what it is, and shared a lot of the same views as you did on it. I don't mind a bit of jank as long as the game has a lot of heart and love behind it. With the progress Spiders is making with each of it's games, you can see the steady improvement they are making with each new titles that comes out. I really hope one day they finally have the budget to push the game they truly want to make. Like a few people mentioned we need more games like this, more titles from smaller studios that are full of heart, more a long the lines of the titles that came out during the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox Era of gaming. Less about the AAA, and making live service style games. Thanks as usual for the indepth and awesome review. Due to the fact we have similar tastes, this is a total buy for me.
I'm happy it turned out fairly well. I think a lot of people miss the Bioware that came out with Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 1. That Bioware is long since gone though, and there's a bit of a vacuum for that type of game maker. I'd rather have jank than whatever it is that Anthem was.
One thing I felt while watching this is how accurate the armor and combat stances were. It really feels like the weapons are realistic and practical, and that can not be said about most games where they carry a sword as big as them with 300 spikes randomly placed. Good review, man.
2:30 Wait what? Cosmetics that aren't hidden in dubious RNGs to promote microtransactions and lootboxes? Was this video a reupload of something from 5 years ago?
Was watching reviews since launch, almost picked it up 2 or 3 times on sales. Got PS Now on black friday offer and this was one of the first games I picked. And it kept me playing! Visuals are interesting at least and the sound design is well done. You review is very much spot on!
I saw this game on the xbox gamestore. I thought it looked fun so i looked for a review of it. I expected to search it and find an IGN review or something along those lines. I didn't find any of them, however I found ACG. I had never watched a video from him before and saw the 22 minute time stamp and thought "Oh man, that's a long video" but after looking at the other videos available i chose to watch this one figuring if it wasn't much about the game I would just stop watching, however he never fell off onto a tangent about anything but the game. It is clear that these videos are well thought out and a lot of time and effort is put into the videos. Any game review i see in the future will be held to the standard of ACG and I wont be surprised when they don't hold up.
Love your videos man! Small suggestion; could you add a timestamp for the different categories you cover for your reviews? (graphics, sound, gameplay etc.) :)
This is the review I was looking for, thorough and considerate. Kotaku said it was bad because it encourages the ideals of colonialism. Friggin’ laughable.
It's like good games don't exist anymore AAA now is just multiplayer cash grabs If your lucky you get maybe a 6 hour campaign that's meaningless Fucken sucks I just wanna be immersed again Not running around a fast paced game worrying about how ima die lol
Okay this is very strange. Your character is the exact same as mine. I'm talking absolute identical twins. Same face, same eyebrows, same hair style, same beard, and even the same eye color.
ACG is quickly becoming the only review channel I care about (not least because I'm an audiophile, and he's one of the few who pays attention to sound design). Thanks for this review, it made me feel at ease about spending $50 on this game. I'm excited to see what Spiders comes up with in the future.
SuperBelkar well I only played like 2 hours. Game is out now on steam. But I was able to kill or let some one live. Didn’t change main game but it was fun to decide. Also u can wear clothes to sneak into enemy territory or just sneak in threw the back
@@Spitz643 In Skill Ups review he was very impressed with the role-play aspect. In terms of both character customisation and how it ties together questing, combat, and story. And also noted that the game has numerous branching story paths based on direct conversation interactions, how you build your character with practical and social skills, and through faction reputations.
@@JeremyComans And yet he didn't recommend it because he said it felt like 10 good hours of a game stretched over 30 hours. So we all just need to make our own decisions I guess. By the way I own the game and am playing it currently...and I'm liking it so far.
Most reviews I watched/read say that there's a lot of choice and the game has 4 different endings, not 4 different world states at the end but actual different endings.
I got past the 'Practice' part of the game last night and reached the Island last night, the gameplay really picked up at the first boss fight, where you have to put the escaped beast down...pretty tense fight and alternating between guns and melee was really fun. Certain visuals are great too, building/interior designs look really Impressive, e.g. 3D embossed textures on wallpaper and paintings. It really made stop and appreciate the detail the devs put into these things.
@@headbangerdnb I heard it was super clunky though and Technomancer while improved, felt like zero progress in terms of your characters strength and even your own skill.
playing the game rn. i absolutely love it. even the side missions are interesting. if u can ignore the some movement limitations and linear map setting its actually a very well done game. i am hooked
Just watched the trailer for this on Steam and it flashes a few quotes from traditional media gaming and then ends with and hangs on "Buy" -ACG for like five seconds. I thought that was cool.
Karak, thank you for everything you do. Seriously, love the brutal honesty and the way you describe every detail so vividly, while keeping the viewer fully engaged with your sly and clever writing. Keep up the good work.
I am SO GLAD you enjoyed this one, the way you talked about it in the last podcast dropped all my concerns. It's definitely spiders golden child up to this point and I hope they only continue to improve. This is a glimpse of what they're capable of and with more resources we could see some more great stuff.
I know I'm one voice amongst thousands but I must say you have one of the best channels on TH-cam. You make genuine videos to inform your viewers and skip all of the BS. I wish I was in the position to support you on patreon. Keep doing what you're doing and I know for a fact you will keep growing. You have already come so far and thank you for the great videos.
Hey, if a AAA title like Dragon Age 2 can get away with high ratings even while copy pasting EVERY interior (including dungeons mind you), then Greedfall should get a pass on this.
I've been playing it for about two hours now, still in the starting area, and I really enjoy what I've seen. I love the fact that you see, immediately, how useful and important your skill choices are. I chose Charisma at character creation and while that has left me feeling a bit blue-balled when it comes to all the locked chests lying around, I was able to talk my way past several situations which I might not have, otherwise. It sounds like this constant reflection on your skill choices continues into the game and that pleases me. Sure, the title is still AA, which means the graphics and some mechanics feel like they belong in 2014, but if one goes in acknowledging that this is a small studio with a smaller budget than a triple-A title, it's entirely forgivable.
Thanks for the review Karak! My most anticipated game of Fall 2019. I've been playing it for a couple of hours and I'm LOVING every second of it. I live and breathe euro jank AA RPG's and the lip syncing is not a deal breaker for me.
I honestly just want to buy this game to support spiders. Two worlds was god tier and I want them around forever lol. They seem like cool developers too!
idk what it is but you have this ability to make me buy games that I never knew existed until I watch your reviews. No reviewer can ever do that but you. Thank you for the review of this game I'm definitely going to pick it up!
The comment about Two Worlds struck me so hard. I didn't have a pc for a long time. When I finally got one, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was among the first games I played on it. I loved it so much that when I saw Two Worlds I naively thought "another game like that! Pc games are magic!" I instantly bought it and learned that they are magic, but not always the good kind.

Wish I could play games for this long. Usually I get two or maybe three hours in, and I start itching to do something else. Short attention span, I guess.
MrSaxon I almost always do that. I’ll play a few games a night. Then change it. And leave a game sit for a week or a month.

@@Enigmalake Its not overly long or bloated at all. The story has a nice pace.
I get the feeling more indie devs are gonna end up releasing better RPGs over the AAA devs in the next couple years
Dying light 2 and cyber punk 2077 are the last of good rpgs to come out
What gives you that feeling? Origins and Odyssey were great AAA RPGs and another AAA Rpg is coming out that's most likely going to be awesome: Cyberpunk
I don't know, Baldurs Gate 3 is coming out in the next couple years

Still looks like a 40 dollar release game but definitely want to play it
Worth the pre order because it's good so far :)
DeadwoodHero makes you wonder what the hell bethesda is doing with their hundreds of staff. Fallout looks and plays far worse than this
Someone trying to put on the shoes Bioware so blatantly threw out of the window ? Actual new single-player RPG ? Not only new franchise, but also fresh non-depleted world setting ?

support spiders. they can make this into a good franchise to replace dragon age (rip).
Considering I loved Technomancer more than Mass Effect - I wouldn't put it past these guys.
hell no
It seems like Spiders has improved despite still being a rather small development studio.
Unlike the studio who keeps making the same game over and over with small improvements.

I like the setting
This game needs to succeed, if only that a sequel with higher budget will be produced. Budget will solve 99 % of the issues this game has.
well, it has been anounced as of now :)
Glad to hear it's a good game! We need more indie studio to make great games!
Also great review as always!
It's hilarious that Spider is considered Indie
There are plenty indie Studios that make good games
@HardWarUK A game with a publisher is not an indie game. Games like Pillars of eternity, Divinity original sin, Grim dawn and hollow knight are textbook indie games.

Boy, that's just crazy
Really happy to see 'small' games like this around. Reminds me of how I felt about Vampyr when I tried it. I love them.
Two Worlds was the best dumpster fire of a game ever. It is a game no one should ever play yet everyone should experience.

I'm enjoying the game so I may buy it for real on PC and see it has a mod community.
It is a buy in my book. The more people support this the better sequel we can get or new RPG. This is four times better then Anthem and Fallout 76.
@Joshua Kierstead Agreed.
And costs less than both of them did at launch, no less.
Great review not one of these 5 minute ones which tell you absolutely nothing
I know I get sick of Reviews who tell you nothing.

Janky games can be diamonds in the rough. Like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Kingdom Come, Deadly Premonition and Godhand. Even the Witcher started off as eurojank, then grew into 3 being one of the GOAT rpgs.

I'm happy it turned out fairly well. I think a lot of people miss the Bioware that came out with Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 1. That Bioware is long since gone though, and there's a bit of a vacuum for that type of game maker. I'd rather have jank than whatever it is that Anthem was.
One thing I felt while watching this is how accurate the armor and combat stances were.
It really feels like the weapons are realistic and practical, and that can not be said about most games where they carry a sword as big as them with 300 spikes randomly placed.
Good review, man.
Thank God you reviewed this before tomorrow karak, your the man!!
2:30 Wait what? Cosmetics that aren't hidden in dubious RNGs to promote microtransactions and lootboxes? Was this video a reupload of something from 5 years ago?
Hard to believe, innit?! A refreshing lack of AAA monetization crap.
7:29 that invisible wall pained me to watch
Was watching reviews since launch, almost picked it up 2 or 3 times on sales. Got PS Now on black friday offer and this was one of the first games I picked. And it kept me playing! Visuals are interesting at least and the sound design is well done.
You review is very much spot on!
*Jack Nicholson gleefully nodding his head meme*
I was a massive fan of Mars: War Logs and The Technomancer, even with all its bugs. The story kept me going. This will be a buy for me.
I've never been this early to a review before. Curious to see how this game shapes up.
I saw this game on the xbox gamestore. I thought it looked fun so i looked for a review of it. I expected to search it and find an IGN review or something along those lines. I didn't find any of them, however I found ACG. I had never watched a video from him before and saw the 22 minute time stamp and thought "Oh man, that's a long video" but after looking at the other videos available i chose to watch this one figuring if it wasn't much about the game I would just stop watching, however he never fell off onto a tangent about anything but the game. It is clear that these videos are well thought out and a lot of time and effort is put into the videos. Any game review i see in the future will be held to the standard of ACG and I wont be surprised when they don't hold up.
Love your videos man! Small suggestion; could you add a timestamp for the different categories you cover for your reviews? (graphics, sound, gameplay etc.) :)
This is the review I was looking for, thorough and considerate. Kotaku said it was bad because it encourages the ideals of colonialism. Friggin’ laughable.
Game Journalism is dead my friend.
@Tom Arnold ...he says, pushing an ideology
I loved Bound By Flame, I loved Technomancer, and Im sure I'll love GreedFall.
Agree on bound by flame, mars wars was great too, trchnomancer was meh in my mind. Hope this is step above.
@@Dexyu Absolutely loved Mars War log and Technomancer.
You’re quickly becoming my go-to reviewer.
Great work yet again
Should be a primary source outside Nintendo games
Found this after dumping 30 hours into this game a year late and I just want to say: spot on. This game is a gem. A little unpolished but wonderful
You're trending on Gaming right now man, #43! Nice work, keep up the awesome, information filled reviews, we all appreciate it.
Ive been waiting on this game for awhile. Now that the reviews are positive, makes me even more excited
Crazy that this used to be considered "AAA" just a few years ago.
Mass Effect Andromeda is the epitome of AAA now.
@@hieroprotoganist3440 lmao
It's like good games don't exist anymore
AAA now is just multiplayer cash grabs
If your lucky you get maybe a 6 hour campaign that's meaningless
Fucken sucks I just wanna be immersed again
Not running around a fast paced game worrying about how ima die lol
@@willyjf6193 playstation exclusives are your friend
With bioware giving up the ghost I have been hoping spider would up their game to fill the void, I will certainly give it a try
Great review as always
This is my first time watching an ACG video! Dude you are so underrated!!! You are so to-the-point & no BS indeed!
Instant sub!!!
better late than ever, welcome to the club! there's no better reviews out there.
Sort of reminds me of the Gothic series. Bit buggy and low budget, but really interesting world and quest style.
My man, ACG. The first new release title I've been anticipating in over two years and you're the first reviewer I go to.
Okay this is very strange. Your character is the exact same as mine. I'm talking absolute identical twins. Same face, same eyebrows, same hair style, same beard, and even the same eye color.
Because it doesn't have alot of customization for characters
Can you change customisation any time?
@@kurtcobain5466 unfortunately no
@@lutschmeineumel1216 ok thanks 😊
"THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET DICEY!!!"
I'm just happy someone remembers Jade Empire...
I loved that game
It just makes me so happy to see Spiders earn a Buy from ACG.
This is exactly the kind of coverage I was looking for before I made my decision.
So refreshing. Honest, objective, without the nitpicky BS. Thank you.
I get so much of an DA:inquisition vibe from this game. Great review as always
@Mitch To bad you can't control individual characters. Hopefully the game sells a ton so that they can add DLC later.
I Loved DA:I & the combat system so maybe I'll pick this up
Composer Olivier Deriviere also composed the music for two of Spiders' previous games, Bound By Flame and The Technomancer.
A decision making rpg i've been waiting for this kind of game.
ACG is quickly becoming the only review channel I care about (not least because I'm an audiophile, and he's one of the few who pays attention to sound design). Thanks for this review, it made me feel at ease about spending $50 on this game. I'm excited to see what Spiders comes up with in the future.
But hows the ROLE-playing? Hows the choice system, what can you do to change the story?
SuperBelkar well I only played like 2 hours. Game is out now on steam. But I was able to kill or let some one live. Didn’t change main game but it was fun to decide. Also u can wear clothes to sneak into enemy territory or just sneak in threw the back
@@luisrod106 thanks man, yeah if anyone can tell me whats what that would be helpful. I like spiders but most of their stuff is pretty linear
@@Spitz643 In Skill Ups review he was very impressed with the role-play aspect. In terms of both character customisation and how it ties together questing, combat, and story. And also noted that the game has numerous branching story paths based on direct conversation interactions, how you build your character with practical and social skills, and through faction reputations.
@@JeremyComans And yet he didn't recommend it because he said it felt like 10 good hours of a game stretched over 30 hours. So we all just need to make our own decisions I guess. By the way I own the game and am playing it currently...and I'm liking it so far.
Most reviews I watched/read say that there's a lot of choice and the game has 4 different endings, not 4 different world states at the end but actual different endings.
I got past the 'Practice' part of the game last night and reached the Island last night, the gameplay really picked up at the first boss fight, where you have to put the escaped beast down...pretty tense fight and alternating between guns and melee was really fun. Certain visuals are great too, building/interior designs look really Impressive, e.g. 3D embossed textures on wallpaper and paintings. It really made stop and appreciate the detail the devs put into these things.
I wanna say, TL;DR: Buy this game to support Spiders, they finally made something good instead of just okay.
Mars: War Logs and The Technomancer were great RPG's. Mars felt like KOTOR and Mass Effect's love child.
@@headbangerdnb I heard it was super clunky though and Technomancer while improved, felt like zero progress in terms of your characters strength and even your own skill.
@@otakon17 Technomancer is a lot smoother than Mars, and I have no idea what you're trying to say about character strength and skill.
A True Third Person camera!.. instead of the Over used, restrictive, awkward "over shoulder" view !
$50?
Inb4 youtube offers captions... or my device's captions, for that matter. :D
Yes $50
playing the game rn. i absolutely love it. even the side missions are interesting. if u can ignore the some movement limitations and linear map setting its actually a very well done game. i am hooked
this looks interesting, I'm kinda sold just on the customization lol but this sounds good, I'll be getting it ASAP
Just watched the trailer for this on Steam and it flashes a few quotes from traditional media gaming and then ends with and hangs on "Buy" -ACG for like five seconds.
I thought that was cool.
Yeah I'll put it on hard difficulty, but the enemy variety is a shame.
Karak, thank you for everything you do. Seriously, love the brutal honesty and the way you describe every detail so vividly, while keeping the viewer fully engaged with your sly and clever writing. Keep up the good work.
You guys have really improved since your Nier review, proud of you.
I am SO GLAD you enjoyed this one, the way you talked about it in the last podcast dropped all my concerns. It's definitely spiders golden child up to this point and I hope they only continue to improve. This is a glimpse of what they're capable of and with more resources we could see some more great stuff.
THIS JUST CAME TO GAME PASS TODAY!
And now its on PS PLUS and that's why i came
@@stenledtrap5273 😆 stomp that xboner
I know I'm one voice amongst thousands but I must say you have one of the best channels on TH-cam. You make genuine videos to inform your viewers and skip all of the BS. I wish I was in the position to support you on patreon. Keep doing what you're doing and I know for a fact you will keep growing. You have already come so far and thank you for the great videos.
as usual, when i'm on the fence, ACG's review will determine if i purchase the game or not. thanks again!
Can almost objectively state that ACG is the best Games Reviewer on You Tube
Hey, if a AAA title like Dragon Age 2 can get away with high ratings even while copy pasting EVERY interior (including dungeons mind you), then Greedfall should get a pass on this.
I've been playing it for about two hours now, still in the starting area, and I really enjoy what I've seen. I love the fact that you see, immediately, how useful and important your skill choices are. I chose Charisma at character creation and while that has left me feeling a bit blue-balled when it comes to all the locked chests lying around, I was able to talk my way past several situations which I might not have, otherwise. It sounds like this constant reflection on your skill choices continues into the game and that pleases me.
Sure, the title is still AA, which means the graphics and some mechanics feel like they belong in 2014, but if one goes in acknowledging that this is a small studio with a smaller budget than a triple-A title, it's entirely forgivable.
4:12 There, the crevasse! Fill it! With your magic juice."
Thanks for the review Karak! My most anticipated game of Fall 2019.
I've been playing it for a couple of hours and I'm LOVING every second of it. I live and breathe euro jank AA RPG's and the lip syncing is not a deal breaker for me.
Thank goodness the game is good. I can't wait to buy this. I think Spiders deserve the support. Thanks, ACG.
Charming and mesmerizing game just like the world it presents
The Technomancer was bad. I'm glad they fixed themselves with this.
Reminds me to Fable 1-3 and Gothic 1-2.
I liked Technomancer. And ACG gave it a buy, so maybe y’all don’t have similar tastes?
You provide the most in depth, thorough, detailed, and well written game reviews I've ever watched.
I honestly just want to buy this game to support spiders. Two worlds was god tier and I want them around forever lol. They seem like cool developers too!
I wish I had more time to play games
idk what it is but you have this ability to make me buy games that I never knew existed until I watch your reviews. No reviewer can ever do that but you. Thank you for the review of this game I'm definitely going to pick it up!
Been playing this game for a few hours, can honestly say it's a good game a worth a try.
The comment about Two Worlds struck me so hard. I didn't have a pc for a long time. When I finally got one, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was among the first games I played on it. I loved it so much that when I saw Two Worlds I naively thought "another game like that! Pc games are magic!" I instantly bought it and learned that they are magic, but not always the good kind.
