I love your reviews. You always cover what I want to know about a game and deliver it well. That being said, I should know better than to watch one of your reviews when I'm trying not to buy games. This is one that'll need to go on my wishlist.
I thought the exact same thing… clear and well explained, Perfect length, intelligently reviewed, comfortable and likable without being annoying… Subscribed! :-)
I was never attracted to roguelikes, the concept sounds bad to me. But I kept hearing nothing bit good things about Dead Cells and I decided to try it. I've been playing it for two years and don't think I'll stop any time soon. It's a game I play between games or whenever I just feel like it. I'm waiting for the price to drop a little to buy the version with the Castlevania crossover on physical disc.
when the spear spinning is stolen from the skeletons in castlevania :P you know the hommage will be there ! Feels a little like the SNES gem Musya too !
Wow! that seed mechanic is dope as a concept! Unfortunately this game looks like it challenges everything I suck at. That dash in 1:36 and that fall-dash-dash-jump you did in 2:14.... I'd die 10 times before getting past these parts.
I've been playing this for a while now. You nailed every aspect of this scroller! Your staying power with games is a lot better then mine!! For Sure. I'm like a cat that someone rolls a tinfoil ball down the hall and I chase it!! NEXT! Thanks for posting
Thank you. I had no idea this existed because no one (else) I follow has talked about it. I played Aeterna Noctis a few years ago and quit about 2/3 of the way through. Maybe I can redeem myself by finishing this one, lol.
That's a nice and compact review, I loved it... Scythe is OP af, bosses are incredible easy, "random" map/rooms/seeds are easy to navigate, even with 3 curses upon you regular enemies can't do anything to your character, is a good game but a waaaaaaaaay step down from AN in terms of difficulty.
This kind of game isn't really my jam, but it definitely had Pam written all over it! It looks like a beautiful game, and fun for those who like Roguelite and Metroidvania games. I get confused with games that have a lot of information and things to keep track of. Thanks for the review!
The game looks freaking great, but when you said it doesn't have much of a story i was like " dam, Dam, DAAAAAM! A story is very important to me. So I'm not sure if I wanna even try it now. I'll look at more reviews and see what other people have to say. Thx for your review.
I played the crap out of actual Rogue back in the day, so I don’t mind rogue-likes. Most are a big improvement on the concept. I’ll have to look deeper into investing in this one. Thanks for the heads-up, Pam!
The last metroidvania I completed was- well, Metroid (Super Metroid)! lol. But this was a nice, comprehensive review that got me interested a bit in trying a more modern metroidvania
@@Cannotbetamed1It sure looks like one. Reminds me a lot of the Castlevania games in some ways, particularly on the GBA, and I know the prequel Aeterna Nocti is considered a metroidvania. Platformer, metroidvania, rougelite, etc. Some of them are kind of mixed genre-types
Looks like a pretty good game, I don't really like the character portraits very much. They don't look evil enough for the setting but the in game character art looks great. I'm backlogged and busy but I'll definitely check it out sometime and get my arse handed to me in abundance 😂 How's Lilly Dog? My cats are getting some hellacious winter coats, so I'm expecting a brutal winter 🥶
@@Cannotbetamed1 she's a classic now but she always looks well groomed and in good shape. I just had a Birthday myself, turned classic but still can't control my own will 😂
Got Noctis Aeterna days ago...now this. Im very much enjoying both of them...this one im still figuring out..its more fun and rewarding than Dead Cells imo but i prefer the MetroidVania of the first game.
Never heard of bullet like, but Rogue like…. instant mmmmm ok. Give a miss. Ai generated dungeons with random loot, hard pass. Reminds me of the “loop” of various descriptions. I don’t want a “point of interest every x,y,z seconds.” I’m starting to become disillusioned with metroidvanias a bit. Jedi Survivor has been absolutely fantastic though. I was surprised how great it was.
@@mrmagoo-i2l i made bulletlike up, but I see its a thing.What gets me is the size of some modern retro games, most 2d games shoud not be over a few hundred MB at minimum IMO ( see 'kkreiger', it is 96kilobytes and is a 3d 1st person shooter!)
this is by far the worst roguelike ive ever played. Good graphics, good movement, it had everything to be an incredible game but as always the devs wanted to show how "difficult" their games are and went above and beyond to make the initial grind absolutely ridiculoius. you're always weak at the start of every rogulike, thats part of the experience but summum aeterna is totaly unfair and you have to grind quite a bit just to get to the bare minimum so you can enjoy the game. I usualy buy games that i enjoy to suport the devs, but on this game im simply not buying it because i dont want to start all over from strach, the initial experience is so bad i never want to see this game again.
Love you Pam. Apropos of nothing, this developer lost all respect from me with their switch port of Aeterna Noctis. It is completely unplayable. An unacceptable port that sits on the eshop to steal money from unsuspecting children when it’s on sale, a la so much other shovelware. You get nothing from me for being a grubby capitalist.
It really underscores the foolishness of roguelikes, which is that early computers of the 1980s didn't have hard drives because storage was so expensive. They weren't supposed to emulate them, but move into the real world with saved games.
Nice video. To the devs. Y’all suck! I wasted my money on Aeterna noctis when it first came out. It crashed so much on my ps4 that it was literally unplayable. They wouldn’t refund me. A lot of people have experienced the same thing. And to my knowledge, y’all still haven’t fixed the game. How about you make your first game playable, and fix it, before you come out with another gimme-more-money game! To anyone reading this, I’d check online if this new game by them crashes a lot or not before spending any money. Back to the devs: fix your broken a$$ game!!!
This game was a confusing mess. Why is the dude white haired when his portait is clearly black haired? Why does the tutorial explain the swords Y attack, but nothing anywhere explains any other? Why do I have a menu that's full of goals like 'kill X Y enemies' with no explanation at all on what this is? Achievements? Goals? Just for fun and rewarded? Why does it only have one resolution setting? Why is my guy being called a bad-ass immortal, but he's looks 3 inches tall when you see him near boss and the very first guy you meet can tank infinite hits from him, instantly making him look weak? The mc was super unlikeable, all he does is huff his own farts and he's not even consistent with that; at one point he says the chick he fights 'stood no chance', then all his other dialogue posits that she's a massive threat I wouldn't even say the progression "amount" is impressive or fun given just how much of this games progression is literally just stat padding. Outside of the weapons blacksmith upgrades there's basically nothing to care about upgrading, its just '+1% attack', '+2% to [mechanic I don't even know what it is]', etc Its really shocking this is the second game in this series yet its in this state
Thank you so much for the review, Pam! Glad to see you playing the latest entry in the Aeterna Universe :)
My pleasure! I'm still having fun with the game.
Thanks again Pam
Thank you!

I'm glad you brought back the bass track in your intro clip! Hey Pam! hope you're doing great!
This review is awesome. Detailed, to the point, fun and made me check out the game. That's all I want.

It's not too bad when you level up a little. You start flowing around expertly after a while.

I like that you can touch enemies and not get hurt. I never understood why they did.
I really like that
I might seriously check this out, seems interesting after I saw your review on it
Thank you. I had no idea this existed because no one (else) I follow has talked about it. I played Aeterna Noctis a few years ago and quit about 2/3 of the way through. Maybe I can redeem myself by finishing this one, lol.
This is much easier than Aeterna Noctis, I found.
Amazing as always !! Thanks !!
Thanks for sharing this neat game Pam!
Nothing in recent years has the replay value like The Binding of Isaac but this looks like it has alot to offer as in different load outs for a run.
It’s on sale on steam for $2 and I always check reviews before buying and saw your vid and you convinced me to buy it thank you
Hey, this style of makeup works really well with you, Pam.
Thanks!
Looks great! Thanks for the recommendation.
Nice video Pam, thanks as always :)

High I'm Tyler, and I'm here to watch you talk about video games.
Hi Tyler!
This game looks awesome and I love the videos you make about metroidvanias lol
looks super fluid, nice !

Nice Ninja Turtles reference.

I love your videos so much!!!
Thanks!
The Castlevania and Cosmic levels are my faves
Wow! How have I not heard of this game... I love the rougelike/lite genre... Def picking up!!!
Have fun!
Chaos for the chaos god! Metroidvania for the Metroidvania throne!
I been looking at this game since it dropped curiously. Looking forward to this video see if I wana snap it up
Hey thanks for covering this, I like a rogue-lite game shall check this out 😊
This game is sooooo good. Im shocked more people have t played this
Pam for president!
She can't be President.
Maybe Prime Minister, but not President.
a robot named fight, you must try it!
great minimetroidvania with rogue-lite
Love your videos ❤ the metroid games are one of the best
The graphics look astounding! So beautifully made!
Looks a bit floaty.
Bring on Dave the Diver.
The last metroidvania I completed was- well, Metroid (Super Metroid)! lol. But this was a nice, comprehensive review that got me interested a bit in trying a more modern metroidvania
This isn't a metroidvania, but there's tons of great ones out there.

New CbT upload! Good day.
Oh my god this looks hard!
My first couple runs felt very difficult, but it didn't take to long to start to feel way easier.
Looks neat, retro yet modern !
You should review Minimal Escape (mobile game) (was on Android, but now only on iOS)
yayyy, new video :3
Great vid!
thank you, I really enjoy your reviews , so you got a sub from me today.
Welcome to the channel!
You doing something new with your hair? It's nice
I'm trying.
I love your matched makeup and shirt, looks great! This game seems pretty good. Might be the next one I get stuck in for a while.

Lily is good, she just turned 10.
@@Cannotbetamed1 she's a classic now but she always looks well groomed and in good shape. I just had a Birthday myself, turned classic but still can't control my own will 😂
Like others said I like the retro/modern style! Would you say playing Noctis should be played first for play/story progression?
No, story doesn't matter at all. And this is technically a prologue
Got Noctis Aeterna days ago...now this. Im very much enjoying both of them...this one im still figuring out..its more fun and rewarding than Dead Cells imo but i prefer the MetroidVania of the first game.
It's a spanish game, like me! Thanks for the suport!
The game looks cool. Can i play on ps4?
Yeah, I think so
@@Cannotbetamed1 Thanks, Pam :)
Great job
Looks like a cool game
7 different currencies seems a little much
I love this game
You’re hair is beautiful.
Aw, thanks, I'm trying to do something with it.
@@Cannotbetamed1 What you’re doing with it is great! The shoulder length looks really nice! 🙂
should try playing the open source game Cataclysm Bright Nights
roguelike
souls like
bulletlike
games that just dont get

Hi Pam! This looks really dense but genuinely interesting. I'll probably check it out later. Your new hair style really fits you btw
Thanks!
I don’t like roguelites sadly. Hate losing progress & redoing it again.
So this is just a spin off of Aeterna Noctis but not as good?? Aeternal Noctis is one of the best metroidvania games out there. Period
Hai Im Barnaby and Im here to talk about beef tenderloin...deo games.
Hi, I'm Alex and im here to watch... Pam
Hi Alex!
Great ❤
You look amazing
Thanks!
Always love to see a beautiful girl talking about good games.
this looks a bit like sundered
Not really.
Metroidvania 😊 Roguelike 😂
Looks like sotn
Is Summum Aeterna connected with Aeterna Noctis?😮
That's answered in the first minute of the video.
pam u look so good 💯
Hot gamer

Great video, beautiful hair, and an amazing dress. Hope you have a great day!
Thanks so much!
Nice video like usuall girl
The art style is very off-putting to me…I know it’s not everything, but it just looks ugly to me.
Noctis was better... 😊
Camera quality is pretty shit in this video.
Still love looking at my favourite e-lady.
I can’t see anything wrong, the last video had a lot of ghosting though. So could be a different camera.
It's the same camera as always.
