It's rare for me to like a TMNT game. Out of all of them, the classic 2 arcade games and Shredder's Revenge. I WAS going to get this one but your review helped me make my decision to pass on this. As you said, it would have been better if they used the Spider-Man formula. I thought the combat would have been better
Well went you said to much dialogues i believe those are social links is something that has being on the jrpg persona series and it seems that was the inspiration , usually they reward you with ability's on those games or additional missions. It may not be for everybody but for some one that has try some of those games they may enjoy it.
I actually do enjoy a great number of TMNT games, but this one is just not where it's at. And the Spiderman formula would have been fantastic for it, but maybe for the next one. Thanks for watching!
I can agree with that, it does seem to have a lot in common with the Persona games, so perhaps players who enjoy that franchise might find more to love here as well.
Honestly still gonna get it cause those relaxing moments give me persona vibes and the combat as an old fan reminds me of the ps2 games and I love all of them so yeah this is gonna be epic for me
I'd have to imagine the reason they focused on the interactions with humans and the other turtles is because this version got its popularity from how much the turtles wanna be more 'superhero ' esque and help and understand people plus the turtles cool dynamic with eachother Which I like. I play visual novels so the talking doesn't bother me much but if the dialogue doesn't hit that is unfortunate. I'll see.
I don't know there night star, it seemed pretty much on the money to me, it wasn't like a confusing review man, mediocre gameplay and 70% stilted unfunny conversation. Just saying.
Yeah i did the mistake of getting for my nephew at regular price.. I was a bit excited for it. Idk why I was expecting a small open world with missions. But nope. Let down
Glad I was able to help out man, but it does make me sad about the game too bc I was really excited for it. Maybe when we get the last ronin game in a couple of years it’ll make up for it!
Great video!! I was really excited for this one, and I was very questionable at the start as to why you thought it was boring, but your points and thoughts were very well justified and valid! Thanks for the review 🙏
Good news gang! This wasn’t on my radar until a few days ago! Of course, I never would have high hopes for a game like this, 3D, film based, etc. Sorry for your loss though.
Imagine if Mikey's podcast part was the one with a mini game instead of talking haha. Thanks you for the informative review, Ogles. It's a shame because I really wanted a TMNT platformer. Maybe I'll try it on a big sale, but the quality of the dialogue does seem bad/boring from what I've seen. Oh well, at least we have Shredder's Revenge and Splintered Fate.
That would have been amazing if they had done that 😂 but glad I was able to shed some light on the game for you. But like you said, at least we have Splintered Fate and Shredders Revenge still!
3D beat-em-up/brawlers are hard to make its why Sifu was such a surprise hit I didnt expect much from this. Maybe it has more to offer on the highest difficulty where you have to use moves properly.
Thank you for getting this video out so fast. I was going to purchase, but something told me to hold off for some opinions. Great review by the way. You got a new subscriber!
It’s boring. It’s a majority of talking and that’s boring. The gameplay isn’t even as good as shredders revenge and that has only a handful of moves. Like it all you want, but I think you’re just caught up in the newness of the game. It’s weak.
It seems to be the curse of *3D* TMNT games because let's be honest now, there hasn't been one _exceptionally_ good 3D adaption yet on par with Turtles in Time, Turtles Arcade or Shredder's Revenge to name a few franchise masterpieces.TMNT games seem to excel in two dimensions.
I agree I think the dialogue side mission sequence could’ve be an opportunity to throw in contextual mini games or combat quests with new NPC or secret villains that you would fight
I appreciate your review, unlike what Night star keeps commenting you’re not just “some dude on the internet”. You are a trusted member of the TMNT community and you always give a fair and balanced review which is why we trust when you say this one is a pass. I was looking forward to the RPG elements but it seems super lackluster and you’re right, my kids would HATE all the dialogue. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for the support and backing! The game really was quite a let down to me and I was REALLY looking forward to it too. But we have gotten several really great TMNT games in the last few years so we still have plenty to play!
I feel like this game would be better without it being tied to the movie and just being a fresh new game with different designs and a open world / Spider-Man style game. It seems they got the right idea with certain stuff but just didn’t execute it right. I’m a big tmnt fan and overall they could do so much better with tmnt at this point .
They did a great job replicating that intentionally sketchy art style of the movie and the paramount TV show given their assumed limited budget. Outright Games usually puts out solid kids games for what they are. A few years ago they put out a Justice League game that's a great little Diablo Like that was pretty well written and fun. I'll probably look at this using a coupon/ sale
I bought this to play with my step son and having played through about a third of it I know it’s not going to hold his interest. Hell, I had to slap the 80s skins on it just to give enough nostalgia for me to keep playing
I didn't watch the movie, as it looked terrible, but when it comes to games, the story doesn't matter to me. If it's good, it's good, if it sucks, it doesn't make too much difference. I already knew the game would have the insufferable dialogue present in the movie but I kept an open mind because as long as the gameplay is good, then I'm happy. When watching the trailers for this game, it reminded me of the TMNT movie tie in game from 2007 on the PS2/360 developed by Ubisoft. Now that game actually still kinda holds up in my opinion and this game looked similar to it, just for modern consoles. As a huge TMNT fan, or at least I was a huge TMNT fan until Rise of The TMNT which essentially killed any excitement I had for the franchise, I was still going to check out this game regardless of my feelings towards the current state the franchise is heading in, simply because I love games and I love TMNT. From the trailers, the game looked fun, so I decided to check it out and what a terrible idea that was. I played like an hour of the game on PC, where the game has frequent performance issues and stuttering, which was already a bad sign. Controlling the characters felt incredibly off and by far the biggest insult, was the combat, which is what I was most excited about, as it looked like the type of Hack 'n' Slash games I enjoy. Every time you hit an enemy, the game kinda freezes for a second, which made fighting the enemies feel incredibly disorienting. Not to mention if you get hit, your entire screen gets a harsh red vignette making it hard to see. Usually this means you're on very low health and you need to heal, but in this game, it doesn't matter what HP you're at, it's all the same. The dialogue in the game made me cringe to my core. The person who wrote it reminds me of that meme with an old guy who's dressed up all trendy and such with the caption "Hello, fellow kids!". Again, I already expected it to be awful, but I was not prepared for it to be THAT bad. Throughout playing the game, my face remained straight the entire time. Didn't even crack a smile. From the dialogue to the voice acting, it was all terrible. I understand the voice actors for the Turtles are kids and all, but kids aren't voice actors. They're kids. If they had actually casted professional voice actors, maybe I could have tolerated it, despite the god awful attempt at appealing to Gen Z.
It is definitely a boring game and I played it for like 3 hrs just to see how unlocking the skill trees were. I mostly unlocked Mikey’s my favorite…and some of his moves once you unlock them are pretty cool but overall the game is bland like you said and the enemy design is blah for sure. I really wanted to like this game but I think it’s worth $10-$15 not the $54 I paid for the deluxe digital edition for ps5.
It just surprises me that they went in such a dialogue heavy direction. Wish they had just cut some out and went for some more action. And yeah $10-$15 sounds about right for it.
I got my copy yesterday on Series X. So far I really live the visuals and how fluid it runs and plays. But the combat feels pretty clunky and especially in Koop a bit too fast and too much on screen. Not sure if I'll keep it or not.
Really? You didn't like it? I've found most of the TMNT games are similar to this, except the original TMNT arcade game and Shredder's Revenge (both some of the best games ever made). Mutants Unleashed looks lighthearted and fun. Downloading the game now from Steam. Also, another reason I like this type of game is for the couch co-op.
People misunderstand this game. It’s not meant to be your average TMNT beatemup, like all the other games in the series. It’s meant to be sort of a Persona lite. It has lite RPG mechanics. I applaud the fact that I finally have a TMNT game that isn’t just another beatemup. I have a ton of those. The least it sells though, the rarer my copy will become.
Exactly lmao Plus "too much talking is a weak complaint imo". If I'm playing a 3D videogame the 2nd most important thing to me outside the level design and gameplay is having characters I give a shit about Also like you've said most TMNT games are just your run of the mill beat-em-ups. We've only had like four games that actually incorporate other elements of the characters like parkour and stealth. Plus this dude forgets that they're teens so they're gonna be talking a lot. Happened in the Mirage comics and Mutant Mayhem and this game are just more of a modern take on how teens are To legit issues that I do think the game has is with the cutscene animations. The designs and levels do an excellent job translating the movie style into an interactive medium but that same effort wasn't put into the character movement I cutscenes
Im a huge TMNT fan and the movie was great! This game however, is honestly 100% pure hot garbage. For being the trash quality that it is and for that price tag, the devs should get sued. The game is so cheaply made, boring with the same re-used levels and janky ass boring fighting mechanics. When you play it, it feels like someone just started learning to make games and tried to put something together rushed. Don’t waste your money or your time. I wish I could get my money back tbh. So disappointed.
Lordy what a disappointment 😞. They really missed a trick here. The art style taken from the film is nice but the linear style, mediocre animations( the turtles torsos don’t even seem to flinch as they move 😄), and how the plot is implemented clearly don’t lend well the experience.
I was really hoping for a great game since I loved the film so much, but they just couldn’t capture that magic with it. The turtles do look closer to animatronics than turtles in the cutscene too 😂 at least we still have some other great turtle games to play!
Oh man, I had this one pre-ordered for awhile to get the art book, pins, keychains, etc. Should be here later today, I was really looking forward to playing a new TMNT game. At least my expectations have been tempered to prepare to watch a mediocre TMNT game instead.
I have mixed feelings about what I've played so far, less than an hour last night I needed to go to bed for work in the morning, but this is why I think they should have been upfront with marketing this game, I had hints from impressions but regardless it seems you and most people were expecting a completely different game than what this actually was going to be, I told you in one of your last uploads it was not an open world game and while you do make some fair criticisms here in one of them you berate the game for not being open world like Spider-Man 2, something it never promised to be, nor was trying to be, its inspirations were the Persona series and PS2 character action games like God of War and more notably Devil May Cry. The Persona influence is just way more than I expected it to be, what you said about all the time spent talking? That's in line with Persona, that just has a more interesting narrative so it's harder to notice, and I haven't played too deep yet but I think there's more nuance to the social elements in persona thanks to features like personality traits and what not playing a role. Anyways still Outright should have made it more clear that this game is more RPG than beat em up, and should have stressed it wasn't an open world game, even I feel regarding that the press releases felt fairly misleading. I'm hoping the new mode in the season pass emphasizes combat more personally, but I'm also hoping I warm up to the combat as I play I can see some depth in the trees and I like that unlike the last two TMNT games the turtles actually feel different to play, but combat itself feels more restrictive than I had imagined especially because Heart & Slash the devs prior game wasn't really this restrictive.
I can def see it being more Persona like, but talking to a friend who loves Persona, the character interactions of Persona sound much more involved than in this game. The choices in a Persona game seem mostly absent here too, just comes off as straight dialogue...but the direction still seems similar. Really wish they had advertised this direction more for players out there, because even if not open world, it plays way different than any TMNT game and players won't be expecting this. And the direction just doesn't fit the TMNT series as well either. Maybe the season pass will add some better stuff to it like you said!
I feel like “they” don’t want us to know this game exists. This is a major IP being treated like a run of the mill Mobil game. You couldn’t even pre order this. Strange.
I pre-ordered this game from Gamestop in store. I picked it up on the 18th. That is why I am here. I want to check out the gameplay and the reviews before I open it just in case I don't like it and I need to return it. This is what I do with all games that I purchase. I just don't buy the games and take them home and rip them open. I watch the UA-camrs play the game first and listen to the reviews. This has saved me a lot of money. I have returned quite a few games because I didn't like them. If I don't like this one, I will be returning it also.
I played the switch version and ....loading....base...loading...dialogue...loading....fight minions...loading...boss....loading...l fell asleep... I uploaded my gameplay anyways .... Now erasing songs for copyright....loading....
This game "looks cool" but I'm not really feelin it. In my opinion, the best combat was Mutants in Manhattan. They need to remake a game that plays like that, but more of a story that bleeds into each part like a traditional game. I don't wanna feel like the whole game is a boss rush with a runback feel.
Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
This game is definitely aimed to the parent/kiddo duo. It’s amazing with my little mans, but def have some caffeine bc it can become mundane if you get used to the controllers 😂
this company is such a cash grab. they just released the spongebob SquarePants Patrick game too and the Grinch there also were the ones who made the Jumanji games
Honesty, I like it better than the Platinum game "Mutants in Manhattan" but its not nearly as good as TMNT Out of The Shadows. But then again, many will say all these 3D TMNT games are mediocre, but Out of the Shadows was great if you like a short Batman Arkham style combat system.
@nicholasdavis801 I am wishing that game gets re-releases or remastered for current gen and Nintendo Switch with 60 fps, and maybe an additonal level and boss. Honestly, for $15 the game offered alot with the 2 player split screen story mode, 4 player online (could add local wirless for Switch) AND a local side scrolling 4 player mode which was tough but fun!
@@nicholasdavis801Yeah Out of the Shadows had the elements I wanted from a TMNT game. Combat and level progress which showcases the strengths of each turtle (Donny can hack certain doors faster than the others), parkour (even though it was simplistic, stealth elements for the first time cause barely any TMNT game does that shit despite them being ninjas and Easter eggs such as a Mirage style black and white filter as well as the all red masks and an arcade mode which makes it feel similar to the classic games It wasn't perfect since it had a few progress halting glitches as well as a very short campaign that could be done in less than a day plus the game does a bad job of explaining all your movesets especially on PC but formula wise it was what a 3D TMNT game needed and a sequel or spiritual successor could've fixed the flaws whilst expanding on what worked
I haven't played this TMNT game, but from your review I'd have to agree with your 4 out of 10 score, kinda missed opportunity I'd say, oh well, better luck next turtle
Pretty much just as bad as i expected. I was excited about this right up to the point i realised Outright games published it. Their other stuff is garbage. It's aimed at kids but even then its just cheaply made, recycled assets and gameplay cash grabs. They shoehorned in a bunch of microtransactions into these kids games as well - so you then have a game like paw patrol and your kid constantly hitting the DLC menu by mistake. Utterly greedy and disgusting to do that to a game that is very much aimed at kids. So screw Outright and in general i avoid anything that has their name on.
Well… thats just your opinion , to me I felt like playing a ps2 game that’s why I liked it and just to let you know that’s not a bad thing or a negative thing to me
I'm going to be that guy and say that I'm not a fan of this new look for the TMNT. Even when watching the movie, I was always weirded out with the character designs.
Sorry you don't like this iteration of the TMNT! I have enjoyed what this direction has brought forward until this game, but know it's not for everyone!
@@Ogles well Hi-fi rush is a very Ps2 game,linear maps,open space hub,a lot of plataforming,rank after every fight, arena fight cenarios but maybe the better comparation is games like Teen Titans, spider man friend or foe,lego star wars
@@Ogles It looks fantastic! I’d also like to commend you on your review. The breakdown of why you found it boring was done extremely well. I’ve been a Turtles fan since the 80’s, but I’m not a blind fan. Like, I don’t just buy anything Turtles related if it’s bad. I’ll stay away from this thanks to your info.
@@kjer2540 Thanks man! I tried to really explain why it felt so tedious to play. And I'm like you, I love the TMNT but I'm not just going to support anything they put out if it is just genuinely not good. We can always hope for the next game!
I hate those goofy looking turtles. I actually like the art style, backgrounds, etc, but those characters, never. Won't even play this or watch that movie because of it.
lol outright games. People get on game mill but these guys make horrible kids games. I thought my 5 year old son would love it but maybe not. This was not for us. Shedders Revenge was 👍🏽
I was going to say this. This seems like a game that I can play co-op with my kiddo and introduce TMNT to them. The retro skins are in there for the parents for sure but this seems aimed at kids which is age appropriate.
@@CrisusTube I would say about half the game is aimed at kids, but the extensive amount of dialogue and talking will turn alot of kids off from wanting to play it.
@@Ogles I would respectfully disagree. My 11 year is loving it. He’s cracking up at the lame jokes. I definitely get how our generation would see this a let down but if my kiddo loves it and wants to play with his ol man, then this is a win.

How You was able to play this while mine keep crashing after Bebop and Rocksteady?
Honestly still gonna get it cause those relaxing moments give me persona vibes and the combat as an old fan reminds me of the ps2 games and I love all of them so yeah this is gonna be epic for me
If you like that style of gameplay it could very well be down your alley!
I tried to give this game a chance but it was terrible. I enjoyed the Splintered Fate Demo more than this game.
I’m in the same boat, Splintered Fate was 100 times better!
I'd have to imagine the reason they focused on the interactions with humans and the other turtles is because this version got its popularity from how much the turtles wanna be more 'superhero ' esque and help and understand people plus the turtles cool dynamic with eachother Which I like.

It really is sad bc I was looking so forward to this game!
Looks like you helped me dodge a bullet with this one. I was really looking forward to it too... bummer

3D beat-em-up/brawlers are hard to make
its why Sifu was such a surprise hit

I can’t do a talking fest with mediocre action. Pass for me, more shredders revenge
Looks like 2007 game but with better combat so im in but yeah I wasnt the biggest fan of the movie but the 87 skins will help a bit

It is really crazy how they truly avoided the core mechanics of the game
I feel like this game would be better without it being tied to the movie and just being a fresh new game with different designs and a open world / Spider-Man style game. It seems they got the right idea with certain stuff but just didn’t execute it right. I’m a big tmnt fan and overall they could do so much better with tmnt at this point .
I feel like that could have been a good direction for them too, but they prob want to try and cash in a bit on the new iteration.
They did a great job replicating that intentionally sketchy art style of the movie and the paramount TV show given their assumed limited budget.
Outright Games usually puts out solid kids games for what they are.
A few years ago they put out a Justice League game that's a great little Diablo Like that was pretty well written and fun.
I'll probably look at this using a coupon/ sale
For a sale it could be worth the price, but honestly I don't see most players actually taking the time to finish this one.
I bought this to play with my step son and having played through about a third of it I know it’s not going to hold his interest.
Hell, I had to slap the 80s skins on it just to give enough nostalgia for me to keep playing
Sorry to hear yall are not enjoying it! But I'm in the exact same boat on it all too lol
Yup. Knew this one was going to be iffy. Graphically looked cool. Thanks for the word. Saved me money and time. There are better TMNT games out there.
Glad i could help out! And def some better TMNT games out there like Splintered Fate!

People misunderstand this game. It’s not meant to be your average TMNT beatemup, like all the other games in the series.
It’s meant to be sort of a Persona lite. It has lite RPG mechanics.
I applaud the fact that I finally have a TMNT game that isn’t just another beatemup. I have a ton of those.
The least it sells though, the rarer my copy will become.
Exactly lmao
Plus "too much talking is a weak complaint imo". If I'm playing a 3D videogame the 2nd most important thing to me outside the level design and gameplay is having characters I give a shit about
Also like you've said most TMNT games are just your run of the mill beat-em-ups. We've only had like four games that actually incorporate other elements of the characters like parkour and stealth.
Plus this dude forgets that they're teens so they're gonna be talking a lot. Happened in the Mirage comics and Mutant Mayhem and this game are just more of a modern take on how teens are
To legit issues that I do think the game has is with the cutscene animations. The designs and levels do an excellent job translating the movie style into an interactive medium but that same effort wasn't put into the character movement I cutscenes
Utter 💩 game. You have 💩taste & that is NOT ok.
I will say man, this video has blown up a lot in the comments compared to your other videos. Looks like this was a pretty anticipated game.
It really has! Thankful for all the support! And seems like a lot of people were excited for it.
There needs to be more TMNT games geared toward adults or at least a teen rating. I saw someone say Last Ronin is in the works so that should be epic.
Hopefully The Last Ronin will be what we want in that direction! They haven't give much information about it since the trailer announcement though!
Man give me a TMNT Mutants in Manhattan 2 sequel! 😤
There’s still hope for the last ronin game to bring in some excitement.
I hate that they keeping making cartoon versions. We need Batman/spiderman looking graphics for this game.
Im a huge TMNT fan and the movie was great! This game however, is honestly 100% pure hot garbage. For being the trash quality that it is and for that price tag, the devs should get sued. The game is so cheaply made, boring with the same re-used levels and janky ass boring fighting mechanics. When you play it, it feels like someone just started learning to make games and tried to put something together rushed. Don’t waste your money or your time. I wish I could get my money back tbh. So disappointed.
We're in the same boat on this one, I loved the new movie too, but this game just didn't do anything for me at all!
I mean I wasn’t expecting much. This is from og games. I’d say this is one of their better games though and I’m not sure how much that means.
Evidently the company is more well known than I knew about lol.
Nice and fair summary. I had very similar thoughts after watching some gameplay yesterday. Back to Shredder's Revenge I guess!
Indeed back to Shredder's Revenge! Hard to beat what they did with that one!
Where does this game exist timeline wise? It's after the movie, but is it before or after the new show coming out???
I think from the cast of characters that I would say pre-tales but after the movie
I am so. So. Sooo tired of looking forward to shit on a Friday then it comes out and ends up being literal shit.
Seems to happen alot sadly :/
Lordy what a disappointment 😞. They really missed a trick here. The art style taken from the film is nice but the linear style, mediocre animations( the turtles torsos don’t even seem to flinch as they move 😄), and how the plot is implemented clearly don’t lend well the experience.
I was really hoping for a great game since I loved the film so much, but they just couldn’t capture that magic with it. The turtles do look closer to animatronics than turtles in the cutscene too 😂 at least we still have some other great turtle games to play!
Why would they make a tmnt game with no tmnt characters from the lore but the mighty mutanimals with the bebop and rocksteady
Oh man, I had this one pre-ordered for awhile to get the art book, pins, keychains, etc. Should be here later today, I was really looking forward to playing a new TMNT game. At least my expectations have been tempered to prepare to watch a mediocre TMNT game instead.
The deluxe edition items are pretty darn awesome and I still like those! But the game itself not quite my favorite lol
Thanks for the review. I will keep this in mind, however this looks like the kind of mindless so-so game that i can use to relax after work.
You're more than welcome and hopefully it can serve as the relax after work game for you!
Shredder's Revenge still reigns 💪🏾💪🏾
Forever and always! Hard to beat such a classic!
@@Ogles Facts 🎯
Soon as I seen the price point, had a feeling it was not so good
I have mixed feelings about what I've played so far, less than an hour last night I needed to go to bed for work in the morning, but this is why I think they should have been upfront with marketing this game, I had hints from impressions but regardless it seems you and most people were expecting a completely different game than what this actually was going to be, I told you in one of your last uploads it was not an open world game and while you do make some fair criticisms here in one of them you berate the game for not being open world like Spider-Man 2, something it never promised to be, nor was trying to be, its inspirations were the Persona series and PS2 character action games like God of War and more notably Devil May Cry.
The Persona influence is just way more than I expected it to be, what you said about all the time spent talking? That's in line with Persona, that just has a more interesting narrative so it's harder to notice, and I haven't played too deep yet but I think there's more nuance to the social elements in persona thanks to features like personality traits and what not playing a role.
Anyways still Outright should have made it more clear that this game is more RPG than beat em up, and should have stressed it wasn't an open world game, even I feel regarding that the press releases felt fairly misleading.
I'm hoping the new mode in the season pass emphasizes combat more personally, but I'm also hoping I warm up to the combat as I play I can see some depth in the trees and I like that unlike the last two TMNT games the turtles actually feel different to play, but combat itself feels more restrictive than I had imagined especially because Heart & Slash the devs prior game wasn't really this restrictive.
I can def see it being more Persona like, but talking to a friend who loves Persona, the character interactions of Persona sound much more involved than in this game. The choices in a Persona game seem mostly absent here too, just comes off as straight dialogue...but the direction still seems similar. Really wish they had advertised this direction more for players out there, because even if not open world, it plays way different than any TMNT game and players won't be expecting this. And the direction just doesn't fit the TMNT series as well either. Maybe the season pass will add some better stuff to it like you said!
I feel like “they” don’t want us to know this game exists. This is a major IP being treated like a run of the mill Mobil game. You couldn’t even pre order this. Strange.
I do feel that the game has been under the radar nearly the entire release cycle. They have barely advertised it on any sites or anything
I pre-ordered this game from Gamestop in store. I picked it up on the 18th. That is why I am here. I want to check out the gameplay and the reviews before I open it just in case I don't like it and I need to return it. This is what I do with all games that I purchase. I just don't buy the games and take them home and rip them open. I watch the UA-camrs play the game first and listen to the reviews. This has saved me a lot of money. I have returned quite a few games because I didn't like them. If I don't like this one, I will be returning it also.
I like this game honestly, reminds me so much of the 03 game
I'm glad you're enjoying it! Just wasn't the game for me though.
Bummer :(
Really was a let down for the game :/
I played the switch version and ....loading....base...loading...dialogue...loading....fight minions...loading...boss....loading...l fell asleep...
I uploaded my gameplay anyways ....
Now erasing songs for copyright....loading....
Oh no!! I was worried about that when I was playing the ps5 version bc I know that companies don’t always optimize for the smaller systems!
This game "looks cool" but I'm not really feelin it. In my opinion, the best combat was Mutants in Manhattan. They need to remake a game that plays like that, but more of a story that bleeds into each part like a traditional game. I don't wanna feel like the whole game is a boss rush with a runback feel.
Hold on is it not free roam ?
Not at all 😞
@@Ogles shii man that sucks
@@DATmedilay Agreed
best turtles game is ubisoft 2007 game based on the movie.
Still need to play through that one
Well that's a shame. Thanks for letting us know.
It really was a let down bc I was quite excited for this one!
Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
That sucks I was really excited for this game too 😢and I hope the last ronin game is the tmnt game that gets a big win for gamers and tmnt fans
I’m hoping for that too. We’ve had pretty good luck as a whole for TMNT games so hopefully the Last Ronin will live up to expectations!
How will it be for a 7yr old? Is it 2 player couch co-op?
Good question
A 7 year old will enjoy the combat however they will get quite bored in the enormous amount of cut scenes
This was made for children! Not adults!! The Last Ronin is coming soon enough!!!
This game is definitely aimed to the parent/kiddo duo. It’s amazing with my little mans, but def have some caffeine bc it can become mundane if you get used to the controllers 😂
Hope you both have fun with it!
this company is such a cash grab. they just released the spongebob SquarePants Patrick game too and the Grinch there also were the ones who made the Jumanji games
ill go play Shredders revenge instead
The truly best way to go about it!
I can't believe Splinter and Scumbug broke up
A true Romeo and Juliet of our time
Honesty, I like it better than the Platinum game "Mutants in Manhattan" but its not nearly as good as TMNT Out of The Shadows. But then again, many will say all these 3D TMNT games are mediocre, but Out of the Shadows was great if you like a short Batman Arkham style combat system.
Yes this yes!!!! Out of the shadows is an Underrated game fr it's amazing
@nicholasdavis801 I am wishing that game gets re-releases or remastered for current gen and Nintendo Switch with 60 fps, and maybe an additonal level and boss. Honestly, for $15 the game offered alot with the 2 player split screen story mode, 4 player online (could add local wirless for Switch) AND a local side scrolling 4 player mode which was tough but fun!
I need to play out of the shadows at some point!
@@nicholasdavis801Yeah Out of the Shadows had the elements I wanted from a TMNT game. Combat and level progress which showcases the strengths of each turtle (Donny can hack certain doors faster than the others), parkour (even though it was simplistic, stealth elements for the first time cause barely any TMNT game does that shit despite them being ninjas and Easter eggs such as a Mirage style black and white filter as well as the all red masks and an arcade mode which makes it feel similar to the classic games
It wasn't perfect since it had a few progress halting glitches as well as a very short campaign that could be done in less than a day plus the game does a bad job of explaining all your movesets especially on PC but formula wise it was what a 3D TMNT game needed and a sequel or spiritual successor could've fixed the flaws whilst expanding on what worked
Out of the shadows is sooo underrated it’s such a shame that not a lot of people know about it
I haven't played this TMNT game, but from your review I'd have to agree with your 4 out of 10 score, kinda missed opportunity I'd say, oh well, better luck next turtle
Yeah, just wish they could have gone in a bit better direction with it too. But like you said, better luck next turtle lol
They should have made a Street Fighter style fighting game instead.
Would be a fun game style for them to return to!
ill wait for a gamepass release
Prob the best way to go about it for sure
I was looking forward to this, I guess I will wait for a discount.
I was looking forward to it too, but discount would be the best way to try it out for sure
Pretty much just as bad as i expected. I was excited about this right up to the point i realised Outright games published it. Their other stuff is garbage. It's aimed at kids but even then its just cheaply made, recycled assets and gameplay cash grabs. They shoehorned in a bunch of microtransactions into these kids games as well - so you then have a game like paw patrol and your kid constantly hitting the DLC menu by mistake. Utterly greedy and disgusting to do that to a game that is very much aimed at kids.
So screw Outright and in general i avoid anything that has their name on.
Outright is def not the best company but they had help with an indie developer that I hoped would help boost it a bit, clearly I was wrong though lol
Its better than your saying its just not meant for 40+ yr olds
You should make a video on the good points about the game.... I'd watch it...
Well… thats just your opinion , to me I felt like playing a ps2 game that’s why I liked it and just to let you know that’s not a bad thing or a negative thing to me
Well hope you enjoy the game!
So far I’m really hating this game. Utter 💩
Yeah, the game just doesn’t really have that TMNT appeal lol
Can you use the 87 skins the whole game ?
I'm going to be that guy and say that I'm not a fan of this new look for the TMNT. Even when watching the movie, I was always weirded out with the character designs.
Sorry you don't like this iteration of the TMNT! I have enjoyed what this direction has brought forward until this game, but know it's not for everyone!
Looks dope
Hope you enjoy the game! Just wasn't for me though lol
I never dl yet
It's sort of like crash bandicoot titan & mind over mutants. And its better than Michael bay tmnt The 1 about Leatherhead Being the main bad guy.
on the switch version the fps looks so awful
Whew, sorry to hear that. The PS5 was at least smooth.
@@Ogles ikr, but the game indeed is boring anyway
Everytime movies . Loading every time. So bad
So awful. If they can optimize for the system just don’t bother porting it over.
Spent more times in loadscreens...
I 100% believe that too lol
spiderman 2 Ps2 ? No man ,this game was always a for a Hi-fi rush type at max,last ronin maybe
I don't think it give Hi-Fi rush vides at all lol
@@Ogles well Hi-fi rush is a very Ps2 game,linear maps,open space hub,a lot of plataforming,rank after every fight, arena fight cenarios but maybe the better comparation is games like Teen Titans, spider man friend or foe,lego star wars
Switch version is not lagging but soooooooo boring.
Dude! You just saved me $60+ bones... That's a lotta pizza!!! Thank you!!!
Glad I was able to help you out and save you some hard earned pizza money!
Man, that sucks 😢
Really wish it had of been better too
Tbh your complaints don’t sound that bad bro
Give it a try then and I hope you enjoy it!
I’m just waiting for Splintered Fate to hit XBOX. This game looks awful.
Splintered Fate was AMAZING! Ran circles around this game lol
@@Ogles It looks fantastic! I’d also like to commend you on your review. The breakdown of why you found it boring was done extremely well. I’ve been a Turtles fan since the 80’s, but I’m not a blind fan. Like, I don’t just buy anything Turtles related if it’s bad. I’ll stay away from this thanks to your info.
@@kjer2540 Thanks man! I tried to really explain why it felt so tedious to play. And I'm like you, I love the TMNT but I'm not just going to support anything they put out if it is just genuinely not good. We can always hope for the next game!
Game sucks
It has def not been my favorite lol
Yup looks boring lets be real
I hate those goofy looking turtles. I actually like the art style, backgrounds, etc, but those characters, never. Won't even play this or watch that movie because of it.
Imma still play idc
Hope you enjoy it more than I did!
Hey dude do u mind buying me a copy? Please? I think I'll have lots of fun
Give it a few weeks and I'm sure they'll start discounting it lol
So bad game unbelieveble.
Really has been quite the let down.
tedious boring silly story terrible character race change villains nice guy summary trash worst version of the ninja turtles
lol outright games. People get on game mill but these guys make horrible kids games. I thought my 5 year old son would love it but maybe not. This was not for us. Shedders Revenge was 👍🏽
Well I'll say that the company lived up to its reputation then lol
Nah. You're just too old for this game 😂
There is no denying I'm getting up there lol
You can play garbage games if you want, you’ll grow up one day and chose not to.
I was going to say this. This seems like a game that I can play co-op with my kiddo and introduce TMNT to them. The retro skins are in there for the parents for sure but this seems aimed at kids which is age appropriate.
@@CrisusTube I would say about half the game is aimed at kids, but the extensive amount of dialogue and talking will turn alot of kids off from wanting to play it.
@@Ogles I would respectfully disagree. My 11 year is loving it. He’s cracking up at the lame jokes. I definitely get how our generation would see this a let down but if my kiddo loves it and wants to play with his ol man, then this is a win.
This game is so bad
It has def not been my favorite lol
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
