Peglin Review -- Peggle with a Roguelite Twist [EA]

Let's talk about Peglin, which is a fun and unique roguelite mixes Peggle or Pachinko elements with basic combat and RPG elements. It's simple, but it works incredibly well. That said, I had a couple issues, mostly center around build crafting. So let's get into it.

I think I mentioned build-crafting too many times. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the video! I'm about to finish my Gordian Quest review script, which should be the last video that I record and edit away from home. Planning to (finally) do my Rogue Legacy 2 review after that when I have access to my desktop again.

Technically, the pachinko mechanic is not a RNG source. The devs have confirmed, that the engine is physically deterministic, so the same shot with the same peg position leads to the same results. It is just a very high skill ceiling. But of course the RNG in special peg placement an upgrade choices, events, etc. remains.

[@InsertReviews]

Yeah I wasn't sure how best to describe it. It's not technically RNG because it's fully deterministic, but imo it's RNG practically speaking because most players won't be able to predict past a couple of bounces. I probably should have emphasized that skill ceiling more though.

Another great review from your channel. Keep up the great work.
I picked Peglin and Alina of the Arena up on early access and ive been impressed with both so far, but i typically wait for games to hit full release before picking them up. Glad i got this early access and youre spot on with the aoe damage being necessary to win.

[@InsertReviews]

Thanks! I've heard somebody else say good things about Alina of the Arena recently, so I need to add that to my wishlist.

Hey man, thanks for the video! I was eyeing this one, so good to see a review on it. Gonna add to my wishlist.
I may recommend a quick update video on roboquest, the latest patch completely overhauled the game into a DOOMlite. Also when ToME? ;P

[@InsertReviews]

It's definitely a fun game, even if it's more niche. Yeah I saw that they just released a huge update for Roboquest (after some delays and reworks), but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Is it really not much of a roguelite anymore?
The classic ToME reminder lol. I'll probably mention ToME in my year end roundup video but I'm not sure if I'll do a full length review. I'm always hesitant to review games like ToME without a huge amount of play time just because I know that I'm going to miss something important in the video. Same reason I haven't done a Noita video yet tbh.

[@newuardfkt]

Thanks for the video. Good video, as always.
The game looks like a really niche but fun one. Maybe I'll pick it up.

[@InsertReviews]

Thanks! Yeah definitely not for everyone, but as somebody who has always enjoyed the simple peggle gameplay, it executed on that idea well.

[@LTGiants2000]

Just got it on my iphone for like $4, thanks for the review

[@InsertReviews]

Oh I didn't realize it was on mobile also! This does seem like it would be a great fit for phones.

[@LTGiants2000]

Neither did I but I decided to check cuz with little Roguelikes and Roguelites like this, I love them on mobile cuz…um…🚽

I love your video but your voice is like nails against a chalk board if that chalk board was uranium-235
