I haven’t played the game but every review and person I’ve watched playing it seem to not enjoy, I’m glad this brings a new perspective! Hopefully we’ll see more doctor who games.
God I loved the Adventure games. A video game experience, a decently interesting story and seeing some new stuff too I mean the Rutans? In my Matt Smith era? And an explorable TARDIS? Top tier stuff.
Hi Joe - great video. I've been umming and ahhing about getting the game and this is making me lean more towards it. Question. Did you get it on steam or a console? I don't have a PS4 but have a controller that I've been using for playing some PC games with a controller and was wondering if the Steam version allows for this. Would be the final clincher for getting it!
Would love to hear you talk about the adventure games. I played them to absolute death as a 10 year old. Though I imagine there quite difficult to get your hands on these days
I liked the game itself but I had to restart it 3 times because my save file kept disappearing. The game would remember all the collectibles I’d found, but not my progress through the levels. Then some levels I had to restart because it would glitch the object I need out of existence, and at the beginning of every level the frame rate would commit suicide… it just doesn’t quite WORK, even down to the little details like using 10’s sonic screwdriver only to find that it lights up yellow instead of blue. If they ever fix the game I’d like to go back and play it properly.
i really dug this game! its obviously full of problems and i could never recommend to anyone who wasnt a who fan unlike, say, shadow of mordor, but i really do think it doesnt deserve all the negativity its gotten. i liked it so much i played it 3 times to find all the collectables and its motivated to make a video about it. whether i actually do that is yet to be seen but it definitely says something about the games worth imo
I wonder if modding would be possible (at least for the pc version) to upload in some better models in the future 🤔 I usually get really cybersick from gaming (apart from some games that are easy on the eyes), but it's been a while since I started considering buying it 🙈
I'd love to hear you talk more about various Doctor Who games Lego Dimensions could be super interesting, and I never played any of those Matt Smith DS games, so I'd be interested in hearing your take on those I think the most interesting topic could be a retrospective on the old Doctor Who flash games from the Davies era, I feel like those things really helped carry hype for the show at the time, with them being the only option for Doctor Who gaming in the late 2000's
Lego Dimensions is an absolute mammoth. I was hoping to make a video on it but the project grew too massive. I’ll revive it at some point but there’s just so much to cover. In the mean time, I might make one focussing on the Doctor who stuff
I was a bit disappointed by this game (mostly my own fault) but they were advertising it as being 50% Edge of Time port and 50% brand new and then that changed to 75% New and 25% old but that wasn't really the case. The Tenth Doctor was also a huge part of the marketing only for him to show up for about 20 mins. I also encountered a bug on the Angel section where they just didn't kill me or move so I didn't enjoy that section as much as everyone else. I did enjoy quite a lot of it but couldn't help feeling slightly disappointed
I'd love to see a video on Doctor Who: Return to Earth on Wii, and not just to watch you suffer playing it. There are few things quite like it and I'm sure you'd have a really entertaining take on it. The DS companion game Evacuation Earth was perfectly mediocre though at least.
I had the misfortune to play this on Nintendo Switch. I say "play", but the game went out of its way to make that near-impossible. From game-breaking glitches where items refused to spawn, to audio and subtitles massively out of sync; to cut scenes not loading so you've no idea why certain parts are happening; to darkness so dark you actively need to adjust the lighting to see the way ahead; to frame rate drops so bad when hunting for the first and second time crystals that I quite literally had motion sickness; to no menu/mission select so if you miss a collectable it's gone for good; to a graphical downgrade that renders ugly parts uglier still; to oversensitive controls; to the game not being able to even run the title sequence properly... Blimey. Genuinely one of the very worst games I've played on the console. I want to be kind to it, but I just can't. I'm sure it plays better elsewhere, but on the Switch? Irredeemable.
@@Joe_Brennan_ it's been fun nonsense since 1963! The Angel ep was ok but personally I preferred ep. 3 - the "confusing" one, apparently;) It's all very Division-heavy but if it wasn't, we'd only complain that stuff was being left unresolved. Be keen to hear your honest opinions - once the whole season is done, I'm guessing?
I’m only doing monthly videos at the moment so I think I’ll do a January video talking about it that includes the New Years special. For now, my thoughts will be on my Podcast.
mostly enjoyed this game for what it was despite its flaws. played both and i definitely had a more memorable time with the VR game, but this is genuinely one of the best Doctor Who games we have right now. that being said my most nitpickiest gripe is that the title sequence is very weird and kinda takes me out of the experience. not the biggest issue in the world, but it is an iconic part of the show and is one of the first things you see in the game so can leave a bad first impression
@@Joe_Brennan_ that sounds fantastic. Basically built to be explored. Doctor Who universe would work so well in games so I might just pick this up to boost its numbers. You could have a whole game thats just journey to the centre of the tardis
I hope the next game isn’t the new gay Doctor humping the Cyberman to death or getting them trapped in a rainbow. In America, we are sick and tired of “The Message”. Everyone doesn’t need to be represented 100% of the time all the time. When you try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one. I watched the first few episodes of the new Doctor, and then abruptly canceled my Disney subscription Disney ruins everything.
Churchill worked with nazis and put nazis back In power in Greece where they put all rebels and nazi killers in jail and tortured them to death thanks to Churchill so fuck himmmm one evil doesn’t justify another evil man their both dogs Churchill and his hitler buddie
Let me know what you think of the game! (and this video, been a while since I've done a straight-up review)
I rely liked that black screen for audio book joke.
Thank you, I was hoping it wouldn’t look like a mistake
I haven’t played the game but every review and person I’ve watched playing it seem to not enjoy, I’m glad this brings a new perspective!
Hopefully we’ll see more doctor who games.
I’d love to get more Doctor Who games, there are so many formats I think would work
God I loved the Adventure games. A video game experience, a decently interesting story and seeing some new stuff too I mean the Rutans? In my Matt Smith era? And an explorable TARDIS? Top tier stuff.
I’ve never played them! Might have to investigate…
The David Tennant model in this game kinda reminds me of the model from that animated series on the Red Button
I’d say this one probably looks worse (and definitely looks less like him)

I played it on Steam with a PS4 controller, and it felt much better than mouse and keyboard
@@Joe_Brennan_ Perfect! Okay, that's great that that works. Will probably purchase for myself then!
Game reviews would be pretty sick, like old Star Wars and Doctor Who games!!!
I might talk about games a bit more often. I’m not sure it’ll be the review format, but who knows!
Would love to hear you talk about the adventure games. I played them to absolute death as a 10 year old. Though I imagine there quite difficult to get your hands on these days
Ah I reckon I could find them
I had them on my old family pc but that died ages ago 😭
The only one of those I remember completing was the Cyberman one in the Arctic Base

I had one instance of the crucial item completely vanishing yesterday and it was incredibly frustrating
If you can find it these days, the Twelfth Doctor's Lego Dimensions Level, The Dalek Extermination of Earth, is always a good bit of fun.

It’s one of those things where I won’t argue with people pointing out the flaws because they’re right, but I do enjoy the game anyway
The only Doctor Who game I’ve ever played is the Google Doodle game… which is surprisingly good, actually.

I may have a look at it, i wasn’t a big enough fan to get the games back then and I like the idea of looking at some more

Still looks better than most Ubisoft games tbh
We’re damning with faint praise today
There was a dalek web game based on s1 dalek , I remember loving that as a kid, don't think you can find it any more tho
You're loving Flux and you know it:) Don't be afraid to say you're excited for the next episode - 'fess up;)
It’s been fun nonsense. I didn’t love the Angel episode so much because it was a bit less fun and just as nonsense. But I’m excited for the rest
@@Joe_Brennan_ it's been fun nonsense since 1963!

Wouldn't mind hearing another opinion about the Adventure Games
I tried to play it when it came out, it was a terrible experience. Maybe in a few months they’ll have fixed enough for me to try it again.
They seem to have released quite a few patches since launch, I imagine there will be a few more
$17 usd for both this and lonly assassins, definitely gotta try it out
Looks interesting. Don't know if I'd play it.
It’s definitely not for everyone, you need patience and low expectations
You've convinced me to pick it up!
I hope you enjoy it, it's got a lot to like I think
Are you going to do a review of flux one it ends?
I’m only doing monthly videos at the moment so I think I’ll do a January video talking about it that includes the New Years special. For now, my thoughts will be on my Podcast.
@@Joe_Brennan_ cool
Edge of what now?

Seeing 13s Tardis in VR makes it look even worse than normal when you can take a look around
There’s a glorious 12th Doctor TARDIS in VR and it makes it seem even better
@@Joe_Brennan_ that sounds fantastic. Basically built to be explored. Doctor Who universe would work so well in games so I might just pick this up to boost its numbers.
You could have a whole game thats just journey to the centre of the tardis
I think the game is good
What was your favourite bit?
Is doctor who in the game of No Man’s Sky?!
Enjoyed this game, but runs slow on switch

Great video but give Churchil some damn respect, he stopped the Nazis. Yes he had help but without him our world we would a hell of alot worse.
No
