I love how the story just goes off the rails and never looks back. It is like it has ADD. "What was my plot again..? Uh, anyways, we're dark fantasy now!"
Really strange that the enemies have no pain-state or stagger frames. You either spam dodges or face-tank them into oblivion. I don't really like that tbh.
Even the dragons on monster hunter can be staggered. You usually do this no sell with bosses meant to be hardcore endgame not all the enemies all the time.
bigger larger enemies not getting staggered is fine due to their size weight, but any enemy that, that is slightly taller than the player's character should get staggered especially the smaller ones. making all the enemies tank your hit's is just bad and awful game design and is just a bad way of making things harder.
this and the repetitive art style is a real problem. Its too low fidelity to really pull that look off and have it not look basically the same everywhere.
I love when “spellcasters” use their staff like a baseball bat. You think it’s some fragile balanced instrument requiring extra care, but nope, still very good for just bonking somebody on the head. 😂 (Reminds me how Khadgar was hitting magic spheres with Atiesh (Warcraft))) Although this particular game is sci-fi setting but I still love to see it.
I normally am not someone that plays side scrollers/ 2D games. But this game and its artwork are beautiful. The concept, atmosphere, colors, design. The strange creature/machine hybrid. It's really awesome to see and I'm glad you covered it. Honestly I genuinely hope the developer makes another as continuation of the storyline. I think there's a lot of potential. I wouldn't have known about it today had you not covered it. Im gonna add it to my library to support the team and this is a studio I'd love to see more from in any capacity. The music, the art. If they make anything at all in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it just to experience it. Thanks for showcasing such a cool developer and product.
@@lancasterbristow9410 I remember that one. "Inside" as well is the successor to that game. I'm really drawn to those art styles and dystopian sci-fi themes. "Carrion" is another that delves more into the 8 bit that you were talking about but I also enjoyed that one.
Games looks great, but damn if it didn't look like a bullet sponge festival - player seemed to deliberately pick only the heaviest weapons, upgrade them to the max, and most enemies still seemed to take an ungodly amount of damage
I like that they sort of used the back story from Blade Runner at the beginning - ie that Earth is dying most people move to off-world colonies if they can. I thought maybe it was just a coincidence tho until I saw the guys name at 7:56. 😊
Nothing more terrifying than returning to something that is no longer exists. Many humans of the future will face that with space travel and life prolonging tech... can't even imagine their feelings, its brutal.
Nah, we’re all gonna die eventually. Whatever poor souls decide to voluntarily - or involuntarily - prolong their existence to unnatural means are screwed.
@@UniDeathRaven Ignore the negative person that rather give up instead of looking to a positive outcome and trying ot achieve it. A true philosopher would not give up on humanity so easily.
This looks awesome. But they should have chosen a better title, you can't google "return", it's just too vague. Even "return game" and other variations won't show any results.
Some people seem very harsh on this game. It's not my cup of tea but I love the layered backgrounds. I think it's a good game. Would like to see even more variation in the future, and perhaps even animation in the backgrounds
@@AlphaBetaGamer But it's not the same dev ? I mean a lot of things makes the two games alike. At first i was even believing it was a prequel or a sequel.
I haven't watched the whole thing since I'd like to p[lay this myself at some point, but I feel like I'm not quite understanding the premise of the game. You start off being told that you need to wake up from cryosleep to reprogram your ship. So why is the protag running around instead of programming the ship? I'm guessing that the ship is damaged and needs to be physically fixed with some kind of scavenged part, but if that's the case it could have been a little clearer.
0:41 sooo... he cry(o)ied himself to sleep? 1:38 I think guy in tree was doing bungee jumping wrong... 2:07 damn, not only is your planet dead, you can't get to a new home, but you also have to fight ninjas. That's maximum suckage, dude. 3:34 I think that's one of those sunset riders video game/vaporwave/cyberpunk neon aesthetic screens on the screen 4:00 "Hello Darkness, my estranged, badly divorced ex wife" 5:17 ah yes, the Big Bad who was about to take over doing fukk all for all eternity in a deep basement or sewer until you showed up and set his "plan" in motion. 6:09 ah yes, shooting her vitals: the knees 20:42 damn, so rude of him to die before you managed to kill him. People should learn some proper manners! 27:30 that is tne slowest thrown rock I have ever seen. It is so slow it would make Einstein commit suicide by rocket up his bum because of how gravity defying it is, making him even more unable to reconcile general relativity with quantum gravity. 44:31 Typical goddess: is six feet tall - won't summon boyfriends below 8 feet tall.
i do like how this looks, always liked this style idk about gameplay, hard to judge from a video, seems fine to me. don't listen to folks who are overfixated on souls games.
Hi! I've trimmed out some minor sections and condensed the early part of the game quite a lot (I covered that on a previous video). The full game takes around 2 hours to play through. :)
This game looks pretty cool, like Resin but more gimmicks. Why there's a stamina bar, I have no idea, other than to force the player into taking "breaks" and delaying the fight for as long as possible. Many of these bosses have the "hit them once/twice then dodge the everything" mechanic down pat, and with no clear boss HP meter, it makes combat look slow and boring. No music can be good to instill atmosphere, but no music for boss fights is supremely lackluster. Combat was slower in Resin, but the music (or lack in some areas) really drove the energy of the game. Oh, but NPC's make gibberish noises when they "speak"; I'm glad there are some priorities here. Some of this text makes me wonder if the developer is ESL or if they just never paid much attention in class. 21:06 "They have us surrounded, we locked door but it won't hold for much longer. This is not the end..." lolwut? I think they meant "They have us surrounded; we locked the door, but it won't hold for much longer. I can't believe this is the end." Because seriously, who writes "..." in their last sentence, except a drama queen? 3:46 "...I landed a shot before it finished me off. I'll try to make repairs to the..." wtf? "Finished me off" means killed, and while I have heard people say, "You've killed me," or "Finish me off," I've never heard someone say/write that they've been mortally wounded...then talk about how they need to repair a thing. Just really weird wording here. Plus, the usual American junk, like bad grammar and misspelled words.
What's the point in taking off in the ship at the end if the rest of the galaxy is screwed? At least the mother computer is destroyed on THIS planet. Why not stay?
The Binary Code at 22:54 translated to English reads: KILL CODE EXEKILL CODE EXEKILL CODE EXEYOU ARE A NERDKILL CODE EXEKILL CODE EXE He forgot to put in a space (0010000) between NERD and KILL on line eight, which is probably why the program didn't work.

@@janpribyla9817 Kinda close, but more towards sword and sorcery in space. With more magic in it (not to say Star Wars lacks it). But maybe you're right. I've seen SW being classified as fantasy or scifantasy or space opera before. Sword and planet hasn't come up, though.
Hi! The dev reached out to me with a key so that I could do a playthrough of game on the channel (I've also covered the game previously on the channel and the ABG website). It all helps to spread the word about these often overlooked indie games.
You don't have to watch it. And these playthrougsh are highly edited anyway. It's not a boss rush game. There's still tons of exploration to be done that these clips don't convey.

Those quotes at the start of the gameplays are the Cherry on top, along with the jokes in the intro it really puts you in the mood

The minimalist style works somehow. Makes it otherworldly.
"Noxious greens, bilious yellows, and a purple that was the very color of disease."
This is a bit like sci-fi Blasphemous. I love it!
