cough breath of the wild hahahahah i laughed so hard!

Your thoughts about the ending tell me that you wish they had pulled their punches...

I also love the little fun facts they add to loading screens sometimes, like the VAST MAJORITY of plastic and ocean pollution comes from the fishing industry. Which isnt something most people are aware of, plastic straws and plastic bags are bad but are nothing compared to fishing.

I honestly loved the ending even if it did come out of nowhere, and its probably from personal experience as to why I like it so much. Nothing to the level of what Firth does, but for someone to just show up, take control and not listen is something I'm all to experienced with. The ending didn't feel like it was talking about how people with big ideas are just full of hot air wanting to stroke their ego and need to stop, its the impact they have on the people who are openly expressing their needs and being ignored. I can see how it doesn't hit the same way for everyone, and it is a jarring tone shift after the immense tragedy we just experienced, but it just feels exactly like what happens in the real world, when a position of power is open, the people who take them aren't interested in any of the messages they're repeating to the people who need real help, they just want to look good without ever confronting the needs of the people they're taking advantage of.

Great review man! Will be keepingan eye on the channel!

Incredible review! An instant subscribe for me. I very much look forward to future uploads. One note: please include spoiler warnings in the future! I was planning on buying this game immediately after watching this video but much of that wind has disappeared from my sails after being robbed of the emotional impact of that penultimate battle. I feel like my shell was repossessed before i even got a chance to unpack!

If you want a game that brilliantly defies its genre in a similar vein to hollow knight, I thoroughly recommend my favorite game of all time, Rain World. Absolutely brilliant little atmospheric game with a very powerful story told almost exclusively through environment. It's a truly magical experience; if you have a chance, you should play it.

I strongly disagree with your take on the ending. I think it's important to be more critical of Neoliberalism than capitalism because it often tries to mascarade as a solution when it's just as tied to benefitting from the problem as far more naked capitalism. Kril has to have something to direct his anger at to drive home the point that he needs to act with purpose towards a world he wants and not just returning things to "normal". When you consider this game tied more to character action games, I think having an ending that feels inspired by Revengeance is very very fitting. I don't envy having to make a satisfying boss feel fair off of a very unbalanced game. It needs to give you something to have to learn, hence the cheap shots, but can't be so hard that it turns people off. And I think having it be like Krill and purposely cheesing you is fitting. The boss fights were not the games strongest element unlike Lies of Ps excellent bosses, but your take suggests that most will be more soured by the ending which I don't think will be true. Loved what you had to say, regardless. Thanks for spending time on a smaller game that most might not even see pitched past the first major boss. This game really saves all it's most interesting parts for the middle onwards.

Has he not seen Lies of P?

I'm surprised how good the production considering how small the channel is. Keep up the great work man!

I don't think what distinguishes games like Another Crab's Treasure or Hollow Knight is that they're purposefully trying to buck the soulslike lable; They just take inspiration from one or two more places. Hollow Knight from games like Super Metroid and Tim Burton, and Another Crab's Treasure... I mean, you can't tell me you don't see Stephen Hillenburg's ghost in the water. I could make a case that it's a canon sequel to Battle For Bikini Bottom (and arguably is a better one than The Cosmic Shake). It's kinda like how you never like the cover of a song more than the original but when you hear a bit of The Manhattans in Silk Sonic, it feels more like the torch has been passed than oh, this is just Brendon Urie showing us all the things Freddie Mercury had the he lacks.

i found you by your penny review, your channel is criminally underrated, keep up the great work noa, cause if you do, ill be here :)

Okay first, love the outfit 😂 Great video Noa. Always enjoy your takes on games and the art behind them. My younger brother sunk hours into Elden Ring and that other FromSoft game that was set in Feudal Japan or something (I forgot the name) so this may be something he’d be into. Not sure if the cartoony art style is to his taste tho. I’ve tried to get into Soulslikes and RPGs but never really did. Games like Elden Ring I personally find a little overwhelming mechanically. I know you gotta “get good” but that’s just me. From the sounds of it, Another Crabs Treasure seems to ease you into the combat much more than most Soulslikes so I might check this one out when I can. The art style and characters are enough to pique my interest and as an avid fan of platformers, the inclusion of that kind of level design is definitely a bonus

This game looks great! Definitely need to give it a shot some day

Now now… Lies of P at least runs 60 frames and not buried very deep by Sony.

When will you review Mullet Mad Jack

Subbed for your creative analogy.

Bang on

Has nothing to do with the video, but any tips for making NPC's for a campaign?

From the footage it doesn't look like he got into the groove of the game. I can see why he didn't like it. It's like when someone can't play a Tony Hawk game so they say it sucks.

really interesting video, here's a comment to appease the algorithm gods

I do agree with the video you touched on alot of things I agree with and i know this is said enough but where's the overrated part about this game, I get people hyping up the game but no one is buying it and saying it was a masterpiece but if it was for engagement kudos to you

Lore of Beyond Papers Please: The Surprising Depth of Lil Guardsman momentum 100

Totally agree. The level design is great, but Penny herself is just not fun to control and is very cumbersome. I honestly wish I could play through the game with a different 3D platformer protagonist, like Crash Bandicoot or Spark the Electric Jester.

Never realized the horny mini game was actually mimicking female masturbation, what a great catch. I agree that it probably should’ve been a little less subtle to be a more engaging segment.

Nice review! Not gonna rant too much but I appreciated the video. Sagebrush from 2018 had similar topics and definitely came to mind. I've never played it though. :3 Maybe they're quite opposite XD

Hot

I am disliking your video, not because of you or for any ill intent, mind you. You seem like a well mannered fellow and a good person overall. However, I simply can not agree with your review and outlook on this game, which is why I choose to "dislike". Again, I am not doing it out of malice, but instead of a disagreement of your review.

It's genuinely not that good

I've been going back on forth on this one. It's been on my wishlist from day 1, I do want to eventually experience it but haven't been able to justify it. Especially with games like Psuedoregalia there for half the price and probably double the fun factor. Penny reminds me of Nights, in that I think it's a name destined for cult classic status, and is a tinge hostile to newcomers.

nah high scores are rad the issue is so few games do a decent job at making you care about them cause all you need is a ranking system thats why everyone loves neon white but nobody remembers what came before like lovely planet and seum which are both great games they just dont push you much into replaying a level over and over to get faster maybe children of the sun coulda used a ranking system

Overrated? Uh, no one has talked about this game nearly enough for that to be true. What a weird dig at a game that came out to very little fanfare...

About the penguins, you kinda suck to be honest, you wont get caught by penguins if your a good player, you may notice that a lot of the penguins are a little off the main path, that is the way of the game telling that is not the way, and when they are in the main path, if you just keep going you will be fine, looking at you gameplay I see you are slow af, you could have avoided the penguins if you just kept going, come on now. the controls are fine, I don't know what you are yapping about, maybe you are just used to other controller set ups, using the pro set up is just the same as the normal set up, you can still jump, roll and attack with the same buttons, but you also have the other buttons and the right stick for more precision, and your are not supposed to use the other stick to dash, wtf, who does that.

A little late for April Fools mate

I love this game, but I’m glad to see someone who is giving there own opinion. I don’t agree with everything you said but it’s always nice to see opinions that differs from my own.

I kinda wish it was more deeper and fucking sadder. It a fine game yet why not go deeper about faith, religious abuse, revenge to the point of violence, loss of innocence in a trapped about a world of pain.

King in yellow

I have been looking for a game reviewer who actually talks in depth about games as art. I CANNOT wait for you to blow up. This is an immediate subscription. Big ups !

I only played the Demo, but it's pretty much the same impressions i got out of it. The controls felt awful. Actions never felt intuitive, the tempo and rhythm was all over the place. And the game felt like it was never sure how it wanted to be played. I found parts of the levels too big for a fast platformer. Large open areas that had no purpose because you were still meant to blitz through them. Side Quest and collectibles enticed you to slow down and explore, while movement speed and the penguins communicated that slowing down isn't good at all. To me, it felt like a game with a severe identity crisis, which sadly kept me from buying it, as i really couldn't get into the demo. It's neither here nor there. Not a speedy platformer, not an exploration one, it doesn't feel good to play... It sadly wasn't meant to be :/

Though you have to admit, it couldn't be more SEGA than to cut ties with the devs of one of your most successful titles that rekindled trust in your core brand only to follow it up with your usual massive stinker.

I understand feeling disappointed in a way, I LOVE hat in time and odyssey and really wanted this game to be the NEW BEST 3d plataformer for me with interesting dynamics, but I feel sometimes like if "that's it?" dash forward and then mount the yoyo, and then do it again and again and maybe try to go for a combo until the end. I feel you were much nicer on the levels since they blend together a lot but i do think they look nice and give a big feel, but not as perfectly shaped challenge like the extra levels or a normal mario level. I wouldn't mind the world but the main controls, like they have sooo much potential, why do you not get a single new ability? I've traveled like 6 worlds already and nothing new really, other than a chillipepper and a stronger yoyo. This is where the game should throw impossibly cool mechanics like give you a double use of the yoyo in the air or something like letting you use your yoyo mount in the air, or move speed in general. I really really wanted to love this game, the moment I saw it on sale on ps5 i instantly bought it but its been like 1 or 2 months since I bought it and I haven't finished it because it feels boring sometimes and I hate that. Maybe our opinions don't perfectly match but I do agree that people and everyone, including this comment section overhype the game, and yes it's great that the studio gets more support like I bought the game, but people can't see how it can feel frustrating to play.

I actually just finished the game earlier this week. I thought it was quite good, and I usually don't like 3D platformers. It's no Hat in Time, but still better than I expected. I'm just watching to see how someone could be so disappointed with it. *Update* Yeah...I can't really relate. All the "issues" are either things I didn't notice or actively made the game better. Then again, I went out of my way to carefully explore each level and talk to every individual NPC. Clearly, there are different expectations for what this game was supposed to be.

I have this on my wishlist and definitely need to try it myself but I enjoyed the video. subbed.

just discovered the channel and love it, thanks for the content

If youre gonna call the game bad at least be good at it and say things that are true

it sounds to me like this game's main issue is not having good tutorial-ized level design, maybe not indicating quite well enough how the game is meant to be played. From other reviews I hear the general idea is to always be riding the yoyo, which I can imagine makes everything kind of slot into place once you play that way. The penguins arent as much of an issue because youre blazing through the level, the controls probably click better. Mind you I am just speculating here. I havnt played it. Though if that is the issue what I would have done is have the mechanics introduced over time over the first world before giving you all of them all at once.

Algorithm brought me, and I'm glad it did.

U kinda look like Matthias Schweighöfer haha Epic!

14:27 You never have to walk. Like what are talking about you can always ride the yoyo.
