@@thelastmethbender I like how Austin described Animal Well, still a Metroidvania, but really focusing on the core of exploration and learning the mechanics of the world, environment, and enemies. Rainworld and Animal Well pushing the Metroidvania genre in a genuinely new and interesting direction, not just another game with a double jump, dash, health upgrade, etc. unlocks.
I was already mesmerized after the first 30 minutes. The game is pure delight. Now 8 hours in and over 32 found eggs later, I just can't stop exploring more and cracking every single thing in there. These solo dev games come along once or twice a decade. Basso did everything from scratch, even the game engine, and also ported the PS5 and Switch versions himself. Everything about this is impressive beyond comprehension.
It's likely on a custom engine. 33 megs sounds about right for this kind of game when you're doing it from scratch without the overhead of a generic engine.
Austin has been really good at reviews lately, he clearly understands the soul of skillup and what the channel stands for. Keep doing what you do Austin!!!

For a better gameplay experience, be sure to play this game at Hideo Kojima's house while having a blindfold on and never, NEVER leave your controller plugged in for your little brother to take over. The first Dunkey approved game. History has been made.
This is really cool actually. A solo developer is being backed by a youtuber who's using his audience to create a publishing label, reviewed by a channel with an emphasis on putting a spotlight on indie content. I guarantee I would never have heard about this game without the help of at least one of those things.
Intelligently and sensitively reviewed by Austin. You exactly hit all the things I love about metroidvanias as well as my exhaustion with how its tropes have been "played out". Animal Well is an instant purchase for me. Shout out to a certain digital toy small equine for his excellent eye for the joys of our pursuit. Big ups to Big Mode.
I am SO happy you left in a WTF moment Austin. Sometimes when I watch reviewers I feel like I miss getting "actual" reactions from moments in the games. I so enjoyed you allowed a moment like that to be part of your review.
. What kind of community is more loving than dunkys? He captured love in a mostly toxic world. Playing along is a small release to from that. You're loved to brother.
Showing your age there (me too, honestly). These kids have never seen a CRT screen, VHS would be the only thing they might have come into contact with at this point XD
I expect the reason the game is so small is because the dev wrote the game engine himself, it's purpose built so it's not bloated like Unity or Unreal is. It feels like a real throwback to the NES/SNES days when these games had to fit on ROMs that were just a few dozen megs or less in capacity.
Where I live 10 USD dollars is a lot more money than in other places, but I am looking forward to actually spend it as soon as I can because a Metroidvania with a Storngly Recommend is something I cannot miss.
Man I'm sitting here enjoying this review when I decide to turn on my PlayStation to check out the games in PS+ extra and there's Animal Well waiting to be played. So anyone with PS+ extra you can play this right now.
If the first rule of film is "show don't tell," then the first rule for learning game mechanics in video games is ideally "learn from experience," where you are free to try out mechanics and learn on your own in an intuitive way. Overly complicated tutorials can really sometimes ruin the flow of a good game.
This wasn't on my radar at all, but I instantly had to buy it as soon as I saw the style and puzzle design. Really looking forward to checking this out now!
Somehow gives me some La-Mulana vibes. Probably due to that 'no hand holding, figure it out yourself' nature of the game that you described. Puzzles seem way less obscure though, which, knowing La-Mulana, most definitely won't be a bad thing for some 99 % of the players (myself included).
So wonderful to see this old school design sensibility creep it’s way back into game design. A return to games that demand the player flex their creativity and problem solving chops, fantastic stuff.
This game has *amazing* vibes. The sound design, the shiny holofoil looking palette, the way the game somehow makes normally non-threatening animals seem so menacing. This game has the freakiest, most terrifying wiener dog I've ever seen in any game ever.
It's interesting to see that Dunkey chose for his first published game to have a review embargo for the release date. Pretty sure he's complained about that before.
It's a game without much marketing budget. These reviews will be most of the marketing it's going to get. So having the game available when these videos come out is great. Noone was pre-ordering "Animal well".
Embargos are not inherently anti-consumer. The intent is the one that we have to look at. I don't know what dunkey said about embargoes or if he meant it, but yeah in this case I see no harm. Animal Well doesn't seem to have game breaking bugs, overly frustrating mechanics or levels, or microtransactions. So if the embargo wasn't put in place to deceive or trick people, I think that's a non-issue. Like the other commenter said, Big Mode doesn't have a lot of resources or industry rep to market the game, so a series of reviews or impressions at launch will have to suffice. If you think about it, most indie games end up being reviewed this way, whether intentionally or otherwise on the publisher's part, because a lot of them don't have a demo or Early Access release, much less social media accounts with lots of followers and other resources for promotion. They just...drop, and people review them.
I think it will. Around 15h into the game and don't wanna tell too much cause you know these kind of games are best experienced as blind as possible. The only advice I would give, just let it flow and don't be surprised seeing the credits roll after 6-8h.
I would advise PC, if only because scrawling all over the map becomes something of a necessity, and doing that with a mouse is far easier than a thumbstick (you don't use a mouse for normal play, just scrawling on the map)
That feeling that so many Metroidvanias have the same toolsets isn't a new idea. It's often jokingly referenced in the concept of "TTDJ" or "time til double jump." It's why some games like Axiom Verge feel so special because they don't rely on all of the Metroidvania standards and give you some interesting new stuff.
I imagine that young kids today will look at old CRTs the way i looked at those old room-sized computers from the 60s. "This state-of-the-art computer can solve an algebra equation in under a minute!"
kindof think u should drop the "indie spotlight" image on the thumbnails, i think it's cooler for them to just be viewed as games and not indies (also some people that are against indies might not click where they could otherwise for some titles) i kinda think its cooler to NOT treat them as the little guys that ur giving a spotlight to and instead as equals to the big dudes that u treat the same
Been playing it for a few hours now. Solid 6/10. Doesn't do anything amazing but just does everything it wants to do pretty well. As someone who thinks games like Outer Wilds & Rainworld are pretty overrated, this game (much like those two) has yet to do much for me but I'm hoping by the end it picks up and wows me. Also not a fan of the art style - Its not ugly, just muddy.
I was going to add it to my Playstation wishlist only to find out that it is INCLUDED! ... Ralph why you didn't say this on this week in gaming yesterday? Or did I just miss it
Really glad you guys are highlighting so many awesome indie games. With all of the doom and gloom surrounding Xbox and “Aquire and Fire” Phil, games like this or Pacific Drive are such a breath of fresh air.
I've been playing Animal Well for the last few days and can't agree with this review enough. That sense of discovery is hard to find in games these days, and I'm loving it!
i love everything about this game except: -the m.disc run -being close to the end and just staring at a map with barely visible pixels to signify what's in a room and being like "....i have literally no idea" if you missed some notable things going through an area and the only option is to crawl through literally every room trying to find something you missed, i am beyond lost currently lmao
Having your game published by a major UA-camr is honestly such a brilliant marketing move. This game is getting tens of thousands of dollars of marketing from Dunkey alone, not to mention everyone else covering it. It definitely helps that it’s such a high quality game.
My cousin got this for me as a gift and OMG, Austin is not overhyping it. Played all night and can’t wait to get out of work to get back to it. Amazingly original game
Looks terrific - this genre keeps offering such interesting and beautiful games. Reminds me a bit of a lo-fi Deedlit, which I loved but it’s admittedly a bit short and shallow. This seems far better in the design department. Great review and thanks for keeping it spoiler free!
Been playing it, and because of the difficult but rewarding sequence breaks, the flow state of platforming (like Celeste), and the many branching paths, this game will be speedrunner’s dream. It feels easy to learn but difficult to master.
Had my eye on this one for a long time. The visual style and colors evoke something so unique in me. And, as a huge fan of games like Noita, I really want to give this a go, and definitely gonna pick this up!
If this was my video, Id have given it a *very* strongly recommend. I rolled the 2nd ending after 14 hours and am still going to go back for more. Not since Fez have I been this entranced in the mysteries of a puzzle platformer. I believe it to be essential gaming.
Man, i can wait to sit down and play this game. I've downloaded it in my ps5 cause its free for plus members and played roughly 20 minutes before i went to bed (it was way pass midnight and i had to work in the morning). And i can't stop to think about this game. The atmosphere just caught me unprepared. I need to get back to this world.
I am LOVING this game. I don't want to spoil myself by watching more videos on it but it was hard to pass this one up. I'm gonna go play it some more now 🤩
I've been having this game on my wishlist since I first heard of it, and I'm very glad it's finally released. Unfortunately, it committed one small crime that I cannot get past: it released on the same day as Crow Country and that one has to be my priority.
