What a joke this channel has become. Gives it a 7 out of 10. Only praises the combat/powers and hasnt even bothered playing the first game.
I stopped watching this guy a long time ago. You can tell who the 2004 libtards are by how fast they get butthurt when common sense is being tested.

I am still in the see and wait phase about unsubbing. Not many wortwhile gaming reviews channel left which even cover indie games. And he isnt one of these toxic positivity reviewers which try to find some good everywhere. I cant stand those.

pros:
the game is only 22gb download, guessing it's using a very early version of UE4? But it also has FSR3.1 which wasn't added to the engine until way later, so, no idea

I know that was when he fell from graze. But feel free to give me other reviewers which are based/not toxic positiv and also review indie games. Currently besides worthabuy I only really have Synth and his brother for reviews. All others rarely upload at all anymore.

He sounds like Paradox's preferred audience tbh, this is what they wanted.

I still wonder why Paradox didn't shitcan the whole project when it became apparent the first team had ****** up beyond repair.

There's no way they'll recoup even a fraction of the money they've spent on this game through sales. All they're going to end up doing is further burying the IP.

They really should have just gone to someone like OwlCat and given them the IP to make a game out of it.

probably thought they could quickly salvage something from all the assets already made, but afaik they ended up having to make almost all new assets anyways

These difficulty icons might be some of the most low effort ones I've ever seen in a game.

It's better than I expected, considering the game has been getting bad press since being (re)announced, and largely rejected by the existing fanbase.

EDIT: Also, and this is hilarious, you apparently can't use guns in the game, but you can use telekinesis to pick up a gun and throw it at an enemy.

mitchmanix seems entertaining, scarlet seekers uploads to much and too long videos for my taste.
