I knew there had to be a way to get the star without the bumper car fight, but I failed to do it right. The guard dog thing is really cool and I hadn't heard of that part. It really is insanely awesome to see how much those decisions influence what happens in the game

I was a little disappointed that I figured it out AFTER I took the death on purpose because I missed out on the rest of the boss fight, but I think this game will be full of things you have to learn yourself, which I think makes total sense given the context of the game. I'm a huge fan of these types of games and always welcome anything that looks to push the bounds of traditional gaming. Luckily the Indie world is a great place to find that sort of thing since the teams working on them are given more freedom to do what they want.

Thanks! I have a lot planned, but I will be working on a game likely starting this year and probably posting some devlog stuff for anyone interested :)

Definitely too strange

It was perfect timing for me to find this game, but I get it won't be for everyone. Depending on when it releases and how it goes I may end up making something else for it because I do think it has some potential to be another one of those narrative games I enjoy so much

It really has a lot going for it, so I'm really excited to see how much it really branches out

I realized that I didn't even talk about the art but it definitely is amazing. The writing and overall idea really took me by surprise and I honestly think I probably should've given it a 9. I know the platforming is lacking, but like you said it really isn't the point

Haha thanks :) I had a lot of fun making this list with Dorian. There's a ton of good games out there, but it is easy to miss a lot of them, so I will always try to give them a spotlight

Thanks :) Duck Detective is a lot of fun. I just wish it would be a little longer because of how much charm all the characters have.

@Prozeon I'll try it as soon as I can! After I recover from the expenses I did during autumn sales 😜

I had to do a double check that it took so long for me to bring one up lol. I realized after I got done that there are even more I forgot about but I would be here all day if I kept talking about all the cool games coming up

@@Prozeon I know what you mean. My wishlist is as long as a whole book series...

I mean I want it to be good, but I also know that realistically it has a higher chance of being a let down than any other on this list. And yeah I'd definitely be down for Jump Ship to be a game night game

Oh nice. I hadn't heard of that game before but you are definitely right

I definitely see how it appeals to people. It does do a lot right and it felt like a pretty unique experience. I ended up playing something like 5 hours in the demo when most demos in this series only last like 30-60 minutes so it definitely sunk its hooks into me for a bit. I just struggle with tough games and I don't hold that against the devs, it just isn't for me. I definitely think there's an audience for it and I hope the devs enjoy a ton of success for a cool idea.

Oh absolutely. I think it did a great job standing on its own two (or 4) feet. It's also extremely affordable being only 10 bucks. Definitely one people should be checking out for sure.

Yeah the story bit during the tutorial was really neat tbh. I think it really could've done a lot. I saw somewhere that the devs said they mostly intended to keep the roguelike aspect so the story they started isn't something they are really all that interested in finishing off which is a shame. I think it could still succeed since you have to do multiple runs in order to try and beat the game, but it is what it is.

Well shhhhhh. I changed the name because I never really thought of Darkest Dungeon like that so now the title is more appropriate

It is a lot to keep up with. Looking back I don't regret giving it a go, but after 3 hours of attempts and only making it as far as three levels before getting the squad wiped, I was ready to call it there.

Thank you! I try to be as unbiased and fair on my thoughts as I can be, so if something bothers me I feel like I have to bring it up, but will always try to do so without saying something like "that's trash" because there's always something out there for everyone. Thanks for the sub too, I made sure to get you one and I will be following your stuff as well :)

@@Prozeon I 100% agree with what you said! We have our tastes so what we like (or dislike) can be different from others' tastes. Also, unless the game is clearly rushed, I try always to respect the work of developers, especially for small teams or solo projects. You deserve the sub man, absolutely! You're doing a great work 💪

Thank you :)

Thanks. Be sure to check out the other video as well so you can get my 5-1 which is actually correct instead of Dorian's ;). I enjoy Enshrouded a lot because I feel like it fixes some of Valheim's shortcomings but it will always be hard to not want to come back to Valheim

Thank you :) It was fun to partner up on this type of video. Nine Sols was definitely a great game that kind of came out of nowhere. Bo Path of the Teal Lotus has a similar art style, but an interesting aerial style combat that is worth checking out as well.

@Prozeon I have that on my list too! Or at least, I thought I had It 😅 added now!

I know I know. Especially after your BG3 argument I feel bad because it really is such a great game.

I don't think many would want to hear the full 4 hour conversation we had lol. If they do then we go for a podcast and then our own Crypto Coin

@Prozeon rugpulling it is a no no though, just saying!

It was definitely a ton of fun for sure and the tactical button mashing was a nice change of pace

I'll be honest when it was in beta form I wasn't exactly sure how I felt but when the demo came out I was really impressed with how much fun it really was

Haha I knew he had to be waiting for me once I didn't see him on the map pre-battle. He's just so notorious for being the one to avoid for good reason

That is a fair point. I didn't really think about it that much until it was brought up in the comments that if you are a nameless hero why not allow customization to them

The last Dynasty Warriors game to be rated positively on Steam came out 10 years ago. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms games have also been regarded poorly with recent releases. That's not really dramatic, it's just saying that these games that take place in China have not been doing so hot for whatever reason. I openly admitted I hadn't played this series in a while so I can't tell you personally if they were that good or bad, but I am saying that it's nice to see how excited people are for this series after a long drought of getting less than ideal releases.

That would be a killer feature for sure. I think they were mostly focused on not having another Dynasty Warriors 9 situation, but it would still be nice to custom create something, especially if we are already playing a non-named protagonist.

totally fair. I am highly aware that I have no basis on telling people how things are pronounced, so I am 100% okay with being corrected

We are probably both wrong

My first attempt had me at something like 1200 kills, so just a normal day at the office. That didn't really help anything other than my ego given my quick demise in the final battle.

I get that. I fell out of it for a while, but this new fighting style is so much more engaging then the mindless button mashing. Thanks for the compliment :)

Oh trust me I did not pursue. I had no choice and I knew from the moment I saw he wasn't on the tactical map that he would be at the end. The fact that my third run had me running away to get health only to come back to an empty battlefield is just insane lol

That's pretty neat. I don't recall seeing it but there's been so many games made throughout GMTK's history of game jams and it's nice to see some of them become full games.

Haha that's unfortunately part of the issue with just how vulgar it is. Also, I get what you mean by the whole diorama being okay but not letting you play the game. I worked a retail gig where it was real strict on what we could sell and I legit hard to card people over games otherwise I could literally face jailtime. On the other hand, I just learned that the team for this game intends on releasing some sort of toggle that will pull back on a lot of the vulgarity in the game for those who want to stream it, but then it feels like it would lose a lot of its identity.

Crazy how that works isn't it? I mean we know how to find our ways around things. I'm sure it'll be fiiiine.

It has a lot going for it. The more I play it, the more I enjoy it. I'll be talking about it more in an upcoming video for sure.

Unfortunately (not really) my wallet will be feeling the repercussions of this video for sure.

I had not heard of Devil's Dive before. I'll be sure to check it out then

@Prozeon it's very cheap, it's a small and fun roguelike like downwell. I'd recommend it

I always try to stay impartial and just express what I observe. Every game has some value in my eyes and I think this one has a ton of potential to be a really great game if its tone wasn't set to 11/10 all the time.

I actually thought it was funny at first, but I had hoped that other signs said other things to keep the joke going which they did not. I think it just started to wear on me because of just how much relentless the crudeness was and sometimes it really just felt like there was no real reason for it.

@Prozeon Respectfully agree, your VE was interesting enough to get me to play some of the demo myself since commenting, and after interacting with everything in the starting house i was bored of the 'shit's and 'fuck's. Honestly a good video, cant wait to see what you upload next :)

@@ikepcyhscore8532 Yeah it definitely could use without almost every single interaction being one full of profanity. I appreciate the support :) I will have some newer style videos coming up to round off the year, but Demo Diving will always be here because there are so many good games out there that don't get the attention they deserve

It literally hit me what you meant by that comment XD I have fixed the title so there is only one mature

I agree. I genuinely don't mind if games have swearing or adult themes in them, but it gets to a point where it's just trying too hard and you can tell it is just a way to drum up shock factor given how excessive it can be. I think this game could have some really great potential if it managed that sort of dynamic between serious and comedic, but what I played leaned almost entirely into the over the top "comedy" making it just seem childish at times. I hope the dev understands that they don't have to make every character curse on every line in order for them to be a memorable character.

I think that's why the emphasis is supposed to be the *EDGE* of Allegoria.

@@squeegel3904 Haha I thought about making that joke while writing the script for the video

I'm hoping for a hook, but it really depends on if there are some changes to the game that will make traversal more tolerable. The crude humor was hit and miss but I got real tired of the encounters while navigating the dungeons.

I think it just has an issue of trying too much to make you laugh or be surprised. A game shouldn't be at a 10 all the time otherwise it just feels like the same. The meta interaction implied a more real story, but all that was was the woman who used her charm to stay alive and everyone just used her to say crazy things, so it wasn't properly utilized. If there was a more serious tone every once in a while I think it would really help offset the forced humor.

Thanks. I do wish it had some tonal differences here and there to make it so it didn't just shove curse words and vulgarity into your face. I have no real problem with a game having that, but to do it all the time is a little much.

That's totally fair. I think a large screen is also a bit counterintuitive to using graphics from the handheld era.

See I love the aesthetic but can't stand the vulgarity I have enjoyed Isles of Sea and Sky and I get the handheld size and experience back by using the Steam Link app and a Backbone on my phone as a controller. I guess a Steam Deck would work too but I am too broke / stingy to find out quite yet

@@TheThinKing That's a good point. The aesthetic may not be pleasing to some and the vulgarity also may not be appeasing, so by having already knocked your target audience down with the aesthetic that some don't enjoy, the vulgarity dwindles it even further unfortunately. I think that is a better setup you've got than getting a Steam Deck, because I also am too broke to grab one of those lol
