Do you think we'll ever get "nitch" to stick?
AH SHIT IM SCARED STOP
With how you seem to appreciate philosophically relatable and esoteric but strange and alien game design I HIGHLY recommend checking out the old Oddworld games, I’m considering buying clash because of my love for Oddworld and your description of the game just sold me that they’re both weird but enjoyable enough thank you!
This is another game that was on my radar as soon as I saw it. I LOVE cuteness, I LOVE Yokai, and wouldn't you know it, I ALSO LOVE FOXES! I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to it because it was just a Mario-esque platformer, but you know what? The more I think about it, the more I'd honestly really like to scratch that itch sometime soon, maybe I will go for it soon.
The first time I saw a trailer for this game it IMMEDIATELY had my attention. Yokai thematics are something that I invariably love, and the game itself looked AMAZING, I would love to give it a try.
Zeno Clash is my favourite series, play the other 2 as soon as you can! Sadly the devs said on twitter that since this game didn't sell too well their publisher most likely wont let them make another one.
Its so fan i might have to try it
Ph man I love this game so much iv already replayed it twice probably ganna do a third plaything when I'm done it's my new hollow knight for sure
Great review
This is the most comprehensive (and sweet) review for this game I've found yet. <3
I've been with BO for so long. This is a great game.
Great game
Bo is an amazing game! Support this game!!!
Pseudo fans rise up
My only issue is the final boss fight is too long and too much of a challenge. I'm sure those that have beat the boss will just tell me I need to get good, but I just feel like as an enemy it's too frustrating. I was able to beat every other boss this one boss was just too much.
Fantastic video. Well narrated and great b-roll. And compelling review. Love it! Just found your channel, and this review, via Eniko on masto. Instant sub. I've got a back catalouge to go through now. <3
I bought this game, whilst it looked amazing the POGO mechanic got old very fast, this could have been an amazing game but the POGO was a NOGO for a lot of players.
I just finished Bo a couple of days ago, and I loved it. The controls did feel a little off at times, but it was probably a skill issue from expecting it to behave more like Hollow Knight or the Ori games. My main ones were getting hit while trying to dash through things (especially during the final boss), and not being able to grapple consistently despite spamming the grapple button while the arrow was showing. But how much I enjoyed the rest of the gameplay and how beautiful it was definitely made it worthwhile. Also, for the fragile egg quest, I would make sure not to save at any of the checkpoints so I could quit the game and reload at the nearby fast travel spot if I needed to restart
Rank thi video of you ranking your videos and then rank the new video ranking your old ranking video and then rank the video that rankedthe new one and etc It's a inf loop (:
you
Honestly does seem pretty fun and satisfying, the way dude recoils after getting hit does something for me
Egg
Glad to see Turbo Kid getting some love. I think there are some things that haven’t worked out in Bo’s favor, hopefully it works out for them in the end.
oh man! Humble games shutting down is awefull! unsighted is one my favourite games!
Obviously its not hollow knight but this game is a little diamond
"Any game is a miracle" SO TRUE. I never realized that until we finished Bo. Thanks so much for the video and the support. Yes it has been tough, but things are easier with players like you supporting us. Also, there is certainly coyote time in the game, so wasnt sure wha the dsiconnect was there. maybe we need to increase it?
Final boss was not very good
agreed LOL. Im working on revising it.
make an omamori build with +1 heath, attack speed and range, faster boiling, daruma half cost when boiling and daruma damage and give it a try. At first i was barely making it to the ice room and with that build i defeated him within a few tries.
@@Teo_Diakor lol that was almost my exact build, minus the Daruma omamori. Honestly final boss isn’t that hard, i just bought a reviving blessing from sakura city and beat it first try after struggling a bit. The ice phase is the worst, all those ice slabs get in your way. It’s just one of those bosses that would’ve been more fun as a normal boss, instead it’s a tedious boss with its 6 phases. It’s more of an endurance battle.
Bo is an amazing game, i wish it was less underrated.. Great video!! :)
Mario 3 if it was woke and super lesbian.
Good vid gang
BO is such a good game.
tell me that techno track is in this game hahahaha
@@lomarr332 loool unfortunately, no. that's from Furi, actually!

Most Retro Indie Game Of The Year. We NEED A Sequel In The Style Of Super Mario World.
mario like????????? fella just call it a platformer
I was really disappointed by how shallow and insincere Celeste’s story came across so this games more earnest approach peaks my interest
I am skipping the game.
Not gonna watch the video but I will indeed skip that game
nice vid. i also bought turbo kid this year. lowkey indies are popping right now. fallen leaf and deviator as well.
is this like Freedom Planet of Mario?
Glad I wasn’t the only person who thought that
Yo this game is made by the same people who made Super Berine World
wow! too bad im on a mac!
Interesting. The demo didn’t have VAs.
Purple is also my favorite color and foxes are also one of my favorite animals. I also want to be her.

This looks great! I'll be looking forward to the Switch version.
Nice review of this vibrant game 🤙 Looks fun 💫

Heyy how do you not have thousands of subscribers yet? I'm so happy someone finally made a video on Gravity Circuit, such a hidden gem. I love your presentation style, the whole video was very organic, your personality and enthusiasm shines through. I have a hunch you have a long and successful journey ahead of you!
