There are times, when i miss just great linear level action games..and this is one of them..refreshingly oldschool with modern sensibilities..and also still being accessible to the masses..
Every now and then a developer comes along, - someone who understands the basic principles of how to make a great game. And the most basic is: don't fill it with unnecessary nonsense. Focus on the core process, and put all your efforts into that. Don't sidetrack or bore the player with irrelevant suggestions that disrupt and deviate from the main gameplay. Just do the right thing. And while at it - do the thing right. And we see the fruits of such core-oriented projects with titles like Mortal Shell, Blood West, Project Warlock, Dread Templar, and now - this game! Let's hope that more companies get the drift. A couple of other notes: if the term "linear" is used to designate the opposite of the "open world" style, then it's a compliment, cause "open world" games (even good ones!) are half-filled with boring filler material, which you must drag through to get to the good stuff. And the only reason it exist there - is to artificially inflate playthrough time. Why do that? Simple. Same reason as with the TV channels: because while you're playing game "X" - you are not playing game "Y" (at least not at the same time), meaning it already lost the competition for the player's time and is more likely to be forgotten. Button-mashy games: these existed in the 90's arcade salons, they were WWE (then WWF) themed games, where the characters wrestled in the ring, just like on the TV. The gameplay was mostly mashing all available buttons as fast as possible (in any order, - and sometimes it was just one button), so that your character will execute a grappling move. These were quite popular, despite the strange gameplay mechanics. I reckon, mostly due to the popularity of WWF/WWE and its theatrics. The half-dead dinosaurs of such oddity have transmuted into various forms of QTE - including the form described above, and (sadly) continued their life-cycle. Although, mostly so on consoles. The successor of this style is the smartphone-games , aka "fruit ninja" and other such nonsense that you can teach your pets to play. Games like DMC or GOW - are not button-mashing games.
@@HexenStar Ive always found it weird how "linear" has turned into a disparaging word. Its not. Linear can be good. It can be great sometimes. Open world, on the other hand too, does not mean good all the time.
This game was awesome, it was refreshing to see a throwback to the old PS2, Xbox, Gamecube style of games where everything wasn't open world yet. Definitely want to see a sequel to this.
Ordered me a physical copy. This is the era of games I miss! It's going to be one of those games that if you don't buy they'll be hard to come across. A rare gem
Honestly this game is great. Graphics: Great | Voice Acting: Awesome | Combat: Super-Fun | The only thing about it is the levels despite being beautiful are a bit repetitive, go here, kill things, find thing.
@@Sebastianmaz615 (o wo) Yeah well cops doesn't do anything these days except eat doughnut so your mom probably a horrible killer. Stop pretending we live in a civil world anymore b.
This is a really fun game. A real throwback to the "plug in and play" style where you just fight your way through the levels with some good old button mashing 👍👍
Yes i feel the same when i played this game today, at First my experience with this game was "ah fuck this game so boring" After when i unlock other stuff, well... I start to have fun with this game
Great game, fun to play, and funny with its cheesy dialogue. I love the combat and gameplay, it reminds me a lot of Space Marine back in the day and I'm excited for Space Marine 2. The cons besides the repetitive nature, there was a lack of blood and gore for a Vampire game, and what I mean is not a lot of showing Vampires or any undead creature feeding on the living. I was also kind of bummed about there not being a lot of Vampires besides the highborn and boohags, but in this game, Vampires mean more than a species of undead, but a class of a variety of creatures which is fine. Also, some of the background music does not fit for a weird west genre game. Every time when I hear that horn music I think of that family guy skit of Stewie playing the trombone behind a fat guy walking. Overall this was a fun game that I enjoyed and I wish there wore more games with gameplay like this. If there ever comes a sequel to this game, let's hope it doesn't take the developers ten years to make it.
Saw this game advertised and was gonna buy it buy forgot to look more into it and then completely forgot about it. Now things have come full circle by you uploading this video because I'm just going to watch the games play instead. As one person said before in the god of war video, you're saving us a lot of money thank you
So happy you got this game too ^^ I just bought this game for my brother in law for Christmas and I was legit thinking, “I hope Mk got this game” and of course you did :3. Idk why not I mean it’s an old western where you kill vampires.
Did we watch the same video? All he did was walk through empty rooms, picking up pennies and sometimes shooting things for a few seconds. It couldn't look more boring.
This game is so good I am hooked but also don't want it to end so not gonna play for a week....man we need more games like this..... Such a good classic... This will go down in history with games like most wanted and far cry 3 ( ah when EA and Ubisoft were good companies)
It’s like Devil may cry,god of war, and red dead redemption 2 mixed together🗿 I was surprised when I was not as good as those DMC5 but it’s still a game that has style and I love that! It was worth the $60
This Jesse is so badass that he just only kick those monster special unstoppable and unbreakable attacks like a glass of wine. He could be a Giga Chad!
I’ve been waiting for a walkthrough for this game. Uhhhh yessuhhhh!!!😂 2:11 that’s the same face I make right after I take a nice dump worrying about how the toilet feels when I’m done lol. Game: “try the dodge and roll evasion”, player just kicks him in the face 😂
When they said the first line of the intro in my head I jokingly said "Yeah Abraham Lincoln had to fight vampires" then the next line was about vampires ... I was a little bit shocked :')
Of course President Lincoln knew about and was involved in hunting Vampires. There was a whole movie based around him hunting then down, then killing them.
If the voice acting is as soothing as vampyr I'm going to drift to sleep in an instant. Thats what i thought at the intro then that feeling went away xD rather quick to be honest. xD
I cannot wait to play this game despite it’s Mixed Reviews where IGN gave it a 7 Out Of 10 for example. Also can’t wait for “The Callisto Protocol” to be out soon on Friday 12/2/2022!!!
Its great I am real pickey about games and I love it High on life is great also some times you have to play the game yourself to see how good it is I enjoyed it
This Game is worth every penny...I am half way through it and trust me I like the gameplay like hell ...it's so damn good. Besides even remember story , and names of every fucking enemy types....that's how interesting it is. And IGN...lol don't trust them, they love either open world RPGs with countless micro transaction or anything that shares DNA with Dark Souls. i visit random IGN reviews and the least rates game by IGN ...I buy that one coz I am damn sure it will be underrated gem made by people who love to make games. And we'll this gimmick always pays off...trust me brother...
I always knew that the lazy bunch of has-beens at ID Software - will be outmatched and beaten at their own game by companies with far greater talent, higher standards, consistency and determination - such as the crafty folks at "Flying Wild Hog". And here we go: no boredom, no downtime, no lame designs and no rainbow confetti flying out of inflated mickey-mouse balloons. Just a proper, stylish, good old no-nonsense action. Now that's demon-slaying done right! 10/10. Definitely getting this one!
very good gameplay. really enjoyed the journey but how would it be if our hero were fully leveled up and that means all weapons as well from the start?

exactly. this game may be linear and button mashy. but it does it all in the best way. one of my favorite games of the year.

Call of Juarez series check it out 🎉

Did you have ti download the entire game from the disc basically?
A ps2 era idea of a game that i absolutely dig
A god of war clone is a rare gem.
Make's no sense as it's digital and will always be available..
@@RestrictedTWO if you think digital games will always be available, you are sooooo wrong.
Definitely god of war and red dead redemption vibes on this game 👍
You think God of war? nah i don't think so im playing god of war currently this game looks cool though i think im going to buy it.
It reminds me Of Doom
@@4amhussle492 the mechanics look very similar to gow
@@4amhussle492 The gameplay mechanics are a lot like the newer God of War games
Ever heard of damnation? This game is very similar to it... Damnation/doom combination...
Dope game the only thing that sucked was not being able to go back to an area after jumping over
Yes and if you don't take damage at the beginning when it tells you to heal you are just stuck there
This game has style.
im not a fan of zombie games but the combat style and the graphics got me hooked
Just like your momma
But does it have grace?
@@lordchapelseed791 it can surely shoot you in the face
@@nerd-fart_1014 not very classy mr fart
I hope this sells well, because this needs a sequel.
This was a straight forward game that I throughly enjoyed. No micro transactions necessary. Got the full package. We need more games like this.
This gameplay was so cool to watch and enjoy today and awesome video man :]
It’s like van helsing meets spaghetti western
Hell yeah
Really hoping this gets a sequel. It’s kickass and refreshing in this gaming day and age
only no reply modes or anything. just one and done sadly
@@michaelschneider1365 It has ng+

god of war: first time?
@@kaaluha Yeeeeeah. The commentary and VAing is GOLD. Really hope this game sees the love it deserves for being fun :)
The plot's a little fast , and the supporting cast could've been better written, not a fan of the fridging. But overall quite good for a short game
@@PhamLeAnhQuan_ aw man it's short?:(
@@PhamLeAnhQuan_ Absolutely. Well put! I kinda hope they do something more with this as the world does seem real interesting!
what a badass game, the enemys have that Serious Sam vibe imo
Thx for putting this up dude. I saw the teaser for this game and wanted to see a walkthrough.
Never heard of this game till now. Looks damn good!! 👍🏻😊
Yea i so this game for the first time today as well, i buyed the PC version on Steam very great game 😎😎
Lmfao everyone who say it looks damn good is a failed abortion.
@@wolfriedchaffbomb6666 Every failed abortion is either intentional murder or someone who was supposed to live. 😊

Yeah, if you like the fog and the lack of day light :D
This is the type of games that I love playing seriously, action packed, adventurous, and extremely entertaining not a dull moment yet
This is a really fun game. A real throwback to the "plug in and play" style where you just fight your way through the levels with some good old button mashing 👍👍
Been waiting for you to play this game! I'm super excited!
at first its boring but as u unlock stuff and enemies get tougher its actually fun
Slow burns can be a good thing
Yes i feel the same when i played this game today, at First my experience with this game was "ah fuck this game so boring" After when i unlock other stuff, well... I start to have fun with this game

Love your content man, keep it up!
Thanks a lot. Great game. Hard. Doable hard, but hard lol
I’ve used this video for parts that I got stuck with. Almost finished the game. Good game so far just not worth the AAA price tag
Excellent progression and leveling system with unlocking guns from start to finish. cool levels and enemies varity with tactics for each type
Great game. Thoroughly enjoyed. Underrated music. Impressive what you can do at times with just a tuba. :D
This game is freakin' awesome, I'm having an absolute blast, and it's been a while when it comes to Playstation games.
Agreed! This game is like Van Helsing mixed with Red Dead Redemption both at once!
So happy you got this game too ^^ I just bought this game for my brother in law for Christmas and I was legit thinking, “I hope Mk got this game” and of course you did :3. Idk why not I mean it’s an old western where you kill vampires.

Awesome game, thank you🙂👍
I was playing Call Of Juarez years ago similar to this, i loved it.

Of course President Lincoln knew about and was involved in hunting Vampires. There was a whole movie based around him hunting then down, then killing them.
Criminally underrated

Good game.
Pretty cool game, I’ll buy it when it’s a little bit better optimized on consoles and maybe on sale
Its now half off on ps store
its dumb to pay for a digital game if there is a physical option, you dont own digital games, its a service.@@claudioventriglia
I totally forgot this was coming out. Thanks for reminding me, can't wait to play myself.
This looks fun but also looks like it may be too easy.
Did MK die even once in this play through? Maybe this play through was done on easy mode? 🤷♂️
is this game live now? shouldnt be tommorow (22 november)?
When was this released or come out I remember seeing the gameplay demo for this and the combat looked awesome, how is it out already!!!😃👏
Tomorrow is the official release
I cannot wait to play this game
