Typical me checking reviews while the game is installing after I just bought it.
Dude. I just finished the game
Me right now
Dang.. me too
Typical me at office reviewing a email just after i sent it
i realize Im kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online?
quite honestly have never seen a more in-depth analysis of a game's graphics. The way you covered all aspects of the game's visual look and graphic settings gave me chills.
lol
These are the types of nuanced insights that keeps me coming back
What the 🦆
Mark Baggott language mister
You've been quoted in the Nintendo switch trailer for the game.
Damn I ve been waiting for this game. Most people felt dissapointed when they realised the trailer was entirely different than the actual gameplay, but I love xcom so I was pretty hyped for it. Thanks for the review mate
I'm actually surprised for good, I thought its gonna be an fps team tactical game
Check out Phantom Doctrine if you haven't already - it's very similar to xcom in terms of gameplay.
Gears of War will bring an Xcom roundbased Game too.
They really mess up with the trailer, giving people the wrong expectation to a game is pretty bad for marketing, hopefully they didn't suffer too much on sales. The gameplay looks decent, good thing there is youtube.
The game is based on the Swedish roleplaying game (pen and paper kind) Mutant Year Zero which is in turn is a remake of the original Mutant that was released back in 1984. It's set in a post-apocalyptic Sweden where survivors eek out a living in the ruins of a bygone civilization. Players could either be straight up normal humans, mutated humans, psi-mutans and, perhaps most famously, mutated animals. If you play the video game, there are lots of Swedish references and in-jokes. Like roadsigns to Swedish town and cities. When you visit the bar at the arc the owner is called Pripps which was a Swedish beer brewery (before being bought by Carlsberg) and in the background he plays horribly cheesy Swedish dansbands-music.
I have X4 and will be doing it but it probably won't be this week, am finishing JC4 review off today and then having a day off as I have been up until 4:30pm two days in a row hammering this game and JC4 to get the reviews out, if only the devs game me early keys it would make my life so much easier.
Unacceptable
Was just going to ask if you're going to review X4. I'm really on the fence on that one.
Thank you for your efforts in these matters.
When I question the purchase of a game, I always look for you accounting.
nice, i have been waiting for a good X game in a VERY long time. This one seems more like 3 but there are quite a few folks over at reddit complaining about the late game. So i will be waiting for your input.
They are too afraid of all the salt you generate on their games so by delaying the inevitable it makes their lives a bit easier. :p
I wish Xcom2 had that free movement out of combat
Look into divinity: original sin (1 or 2) if you like that sort of thing.
@@olliecassidy6380 Dude! funny thing, I just finished DivinityOS 2 last night! great game loved the environmental combat.
@@HushPuppyBandit sweet! I bought it but I've had other things going on so I've only just got our of fort joy. It's a great game so far, can't wait to finish it!
@@HushPuppyBandit Wasteland 2 & Torment Tides of Numenera are your answer. Both games are TBS Tactics RPG. If you want and excellent TBS tactics JRPG theme instead than I recommend Legend of Heroes: Trails of series (Trails of Sky, Trails of Cold Steel, etc)
How tho? You wouldn't be able to place your soldiers precisely were you want them for ambushes
Just discovered your channel! Love the humour and talking points! Can’t wait to check out more of your content!
One of my favorite parts of this game is how it gates things off, but its not completely artificial. For example, I snuck into one of the final areas of the game early on, utilizing some aspects of the stealth system and grabbed ghoul armor 1/4 of the way through the game and gave it to bormin.
It's all about rewarding you for thinking outside of the box and really getting those numbers cranked. You can stealth kill enemies you never thought possible by combining firepower between multiple troops in a single turn. So long as you take the guy out in that turn it doesn't matter.
Thanks for the review, Mack.
And thanks for not wasting our time with ten minutes of graphic settings, technical jargon, and ham handed analogies.
this is based on a really fun pen and paper roleplaying game.
So is it XCOM for furries?
Steve Raptor the correct term is mutants
it has no connection to xcom, it was a big letdown regarding this point. And no replay value...and no aliens
@@AbcIHateYou3 Feathurs?.... ????
Yes exactly
For me the ending was the problem, the only setup up future dlc or the second game. And also...false advertising:P
This looks great and interesting. The entire idea and setting along with the cartoonish graphics seems like something you would find in the PS2 days and I love it:D AAA used to come up with creative and wacky shit like this and we need it now more than ever since AAA just don't want to be fun and creative anymore. Also the gameplay looks very good:)
what a nice review , so detailed . dunno what took me so long to find this channel
Great review, human. We've been playing this here at our headquarters and really enjoy it.
Mack is quoted in the first video on the steam store page of this game. "Definitely worth a buy" - Worthabuy
i saw that too
I just started the game and it's definitely fun and I've never even played a game like this before and I really like how much it makes you think. The thing about the RNG- if you figure out the optimal way to attack the enemies you can actually get your gun to be 100% chance to hit versus 75% for example, I simply figuring out how to run to the right location before you take your shot.
I've had my eye on this game for sometime now, been hoping you would do a review on it. Glad its turned out to be a good game decided to pick it up through your GMG link. Keep up the great work mack.
This is free on the Epic store this week
That ending. Brill.
Mac i need more old meg references to get me through those lonely nights
Not bad for free or $10/month on Xbox Game Pass. Should be fun for a weekend.
Glad you got on this so quickly. GJ Mac
The art style and animals wearing clothes is so cool more games should be like this
Looks good I think I'll buy it.
Discerning Daniel so worth it
This is currently free on the Epic Games store if anyone's interested.
that's what brought me here :')
Not sure how popular this video was for you but this review sold not only the game but your humor to me. Thanks for the laughs, subbed.
I always wondered what happened to Howard the Duck lol best channel ever hope everything went alright at the hospital and you're feeling a lot better now.
So XCom and StarFox travelled to the Terminator universe and had a baby? Gotcha.
Except Mutant (1984) came out around 10 years before XCom and StarFox :o
@@Ander01SE Mutant (1984) is a Zombie flick that has nothing to do with the premise of this game.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_(role-playing_game)
I don't usually play turn based games, and I really couldn't get into Xcom at all. But I'm loving this! It's so refreshing. The script writing is really good, so is the voice acting. It does have some issues, and it crashes often when you fast travel but those things aside it's really charming to play. And VERY satisfying when you win a battle. For me, clearing out a zone can take around an hour and you really do need to think about your strategy. I've been doing a play-through for this on my channel so please pop by and check it out.
Why is the WAB steam group closed?
I play the TTRPG that this is based off of, and absolutely love it. Really looking forward to playing this! Just wish it had a mode where you can explore the zone, lose your mutants, take more out and try to survive. Much more like the tabletop game itself. Worth noting that apparently the Deluxe version gives you the PDF of the table top game. Highly recommend!
Might buy that version thanks for the heads up
@@SmashingSnow no worries
Warhammer 40k Mechanicus is also a really good tactical game similar XCOM with a fantastic atmosphere.
You can swap perks in inventory at any time outside of combat. You need to go to ARK in order to swap weapon mods.
Dam I loved the trailer for this. Not sure this is what I expected. Looks ok though for its genre. Does it have any cinematics like the trailers? I could totally get immersed in that.
This game is awesome. Great story, grafics, sound, story and gameplay. Loved it.
I wasn't gonna get it but after watching your review I have changed my mind. You were always brutally honest. Keep it up!
Do you have a limit on how many turns you can take, or can you go slow and take your time?
This one looks interesting, and I may have to check it out. I enjoy these kinds of games and didn't hear much about this one coming out. Off topic, but thank you for your video last week on the Greenman gaming sale. I was able to get some great deals.
I will now be buying this for my switch :) thanks!!
Hi Mack mate are you working on a x4 foundations review? Also are you going to talk about the grind in rdro? Cheers
"Let's first of all, start with the graphics. The graphics look, like, they do on the screen...so, there's the graphics." God, I snorted coffee out my nose I laughed so hard. XD
The duck's name is Dux? LOL!
PvtHudson - It might be a reference to the Farfetch'd you get in the original Pokemon named Dux. Maybe... Just maybe.
Wow! Been too long since I really felt a genuine interest in a game, will definitely buy it. Even if I have to play as a duck, penguin or goose!
Let us take a moment for the 1911 that is called the "Ancient Pistol"
You put the psi-helmet on Farrow? The obvious choice of headgear for Farrow is the stovepipe hat because she wears it jauntily askew so one ear sticks out. Its super cute
Are those points at the bottom of the final impressions card (don't know what to call it) new or am I just blind?
That is exactly a Game for me! Thank you for pointing this out to a broad Audience! :)
Nice touch at the end. Good vid thx mac
"The graphics...look like they do on the screen. So there's the graphics". Best. Review. Ever
Looking for an xcom replacement and after seeing your Chimera hipster squad review, this might just be the one! Curious to if you've played Phoenix Point and have any opinions on it? Obviously very similar to xcom
Really nice review and take on the game - definitely got me hooked even more for it. Tough I guess I will wait for the price to come down a little.
Are you planning to review X4: Foundations, Mac?
Wow, a game from Funcom where they didn't mess up everything at the release... that's... incredible.
Do you only fight robots and crazy humans, or do you also fight other animal heads?
X4 FOUNDATION ??????
hahaha..... did you not watch his X-Unbirth WAB? Nothing has changed. The new X4, is just as sh!t as Rebirth is. The 5% improvement, does not make a turd great by any means.
I had to deinstall it 5 hours later. Patch & Hotfix already included. Or i would have grilled a random person on the streets..... fck Egosoft! Im done with the X-Series! Legit Piracy saves money! Never a dumb customer again!
Well i hawe the game and is amazing im play for first time x games but much better then elite much more content but the only - is for some bugs but patch are coming
@@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233 The user reviews don't look as bad as Rebirth did at launch so I doubt it's AS bad as that sack of shit. Not saying it isn't bad though (I haven't even played X4 yet).
DIdn´t heard about this game before seems interesting, anyway when can we expect Just Cause 4 review Mack?
Are you going to do a review of the PC version of Darksiders 3?
The setting reminds me of Nuclear Throne. Nuclear Throne didn't have a duck, though.
This looks real fun
at 7:35 there are two types of mushroom on the screen. Each of those is a psychedelic mushroom. Well, amanita muscaria , the red one is garbage. No one should eat it. The other caramel colored ones look exactly like Psilocybe Cubensis.
Tried the demo, great game I highly recommend it just based on what I've played, despite the fact that I hate RNG in games. Absolutely recommend doing Iron mode, so you can't cheese it with save/reloading. Prob gonna buy it.
Xcom: Howard the Duck version.
Cool to hear you like this, I believe it goes on game pass today I'm def gonna try it
Mack will you get and wab democracy 3?
I think you would find it interesting
Hello Everyone it’s a good game, I recommend it
I saw that in the steam store, what kind of game is it?
123 Subs Without A Video Challenge oh nice! I’ll check it out
"Runs like shit off a shiny hot shovel."
WAB
I get a mean "Oddworld" vibe from the art style and characters. Btw, is Hammon the boar's name? And if so, is it's last name Rye?
Whos here since this game is coming to the nintendo switch? 🙌
Norrr.... I'm here because it's free on the Epic store, just checking to see if it's worth installing
I wonder, do we find out what does the fox say?
Mack can you do a rant on RDR2 microtransactions? I think hearing your thoughts on the online play with the awful grind for gold bars would be amazing.. anyways another awesome video!!!
They have already responded and are reworking the economy system
@@n8tiveashii Yeah they will dial it down from 'fucking insane' to 'pretty insane'.
He should wait til the proper release of rdro
True
Noone is forcing you to pay. Im enjoying it and i doubt ill pay jack shit
This game looks dope. Cheers for the review. Will get it soon.
I like the game a lot!! As a nerdy-ass swede growing up in the 80´s, I played a lot of the original "Pen and paper Mutant" with my friends, and I felt right at home in this game!
Some cultural references (Like f.e the electric Lucia candle-crown, the songs by "Lill-Babs" and so on) might be lost on people that are not from Scandinavia , but the game is still good fun no matter where you hail from! My only critisism is that it is waaay too short! 25h for a normal playthrough is not a lot in this day and age, but I suspect that there will be a ton of DLC-missions coming out relatively soon to rectify that.
Hey Mack, been tryin' to purchase the game from GMG andthe link just takes me home, and so does the shorten one. How can I buy the games so I can contribute to your channel at least with that?
Got it free on epic store , good game, for nout!
Really dig your sense of humor in these reviews. Dont take yourself too seriously while still giving honest reviews. Also are you scottish?
He's English mate
@@xMTxcameron cool, wasn't sure
@@aesnyder92 Yeah 😀. North East England to be precise, he's from Durham
I'm probably the only one here, besides Mack, old enough to get this reference but "alas Howard the Duck get's a game".
I’m already guessing this will score better than Just Cause 4
Playing in 4k, the graphics and effects are second to none, the game is beautiful. Feels like I'm in for a good ride.
It is talking place in Sweden and are based om a Swedish rpg, dice and paper.
Micmac you going to look at the 40k Mechanicus game? be interested to hear u take on that kinda on the fence myself but xcomy games seem to be right up your lane
What is that bell he does ?
This game was surprising really really good. It was just too short, otherwise it was great!
so funcom moving away from mmos and into unknown realms i happy see they are doing good for a change
Is it possible to ever command more than 3 characters? This number seems a bit limiting IMO, imagine a mode that would double the enemies and give you 5 slots for characters.
This would be a great game on Switch!
It would have been cool if the graphics looked like the character illustrations in the HUD! The character models look adequate but they don't have as much life or personality without that linework.
Just do it when you can Mack, don't stress. Cheers mate!
Lol u sound like a proper joker love your style in the vids subscribed
Mack: Are you the same Mack as Mack and Mesh from the Doom3 days?
Yup
@@WorthABuyreviews I LOVED watching Mesh play Doom3!
Good times!
I'm happy to see more XCom-like games on the market. This one looks a bit too weird for my taste, but hopefully it serves as a nice introduction to people unfamiliar to the genre. I may try it eventually. I'm just waiting for Phoenix Point to finally release...
Just played it on very hard mode!
So what is your opinion of the game? Is as good as Xcom or Wasteland2!
Joshua Neal just simple Xcom ! With storytelling
You had me at the graphics....👍
Very interesting, thank you
Enjoying this a lot on Xbox Gamepass. Probably a game I'd never have bought so glad I stumbled upon it. The loot is quite hard to see as there's so much junk around and it's pretty tough even on normal but good fun so far.
Maaan you should try Silent Storm: Sentinels, you will love it. Old but gold!
Subscribed mainly because of "Let's first of all start with the graphics. The graphics looks like they do in the screen. So there's the graphics" LOL
So when will the JC4 Review be out
Can you review Kenshi it looks interesting but I still don’t know about it
Good review mack yeah this is a good game bloody enjoying it..
