@@BraXdotexe it’s an awesome ride. And best when you take your time and just look around it’s like being a tourist ina place that has a bit of everything.
This game is gorgeous and has so many references. The texts and sounds when talking to npcs reminds me of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. For me is a 10/10.
This review is well-written and delivery informative without fluff, while still showing some personality. I’m a fan of yours now, Jon. Thank you for this nice presentation.
To me, the weird dialog from Characters is extremely charming. The over written Lines from characters aren't a masterpiece but it kinda makes you feel at home within the world.
This guy gave probably the most underwhelming review of a potential all time cult classic. IGN gives more enthusiastic reviews for a Madden roster update and adding back in features from ps2 era games.
@@smellypatel5272 nah ur probably some dumb kid who needs action shooters like cod or fortnite. Get lost loser, this game is a masterpiece. Full of charming characters, an imaginative world, fun puzzles and combat, and amazing pixel graphics.
@@BowmansWorld no I'm just not an overweight manchild who likes childish games that have boring, antiquated gameplay. We get it, we all played Zelda when we were young. Move on, the formula is trite at this point. Nothing that this game does with its gameplay or story is special.
Beautiful game, soundtrack is awesome too. But I'm 3 hours in and I'm almost bored to tears. Feel like you really need to be in the mood for an incredibly drawn out narrative and its charm. Gameplay wise, this doesn't have much going for it.
This is a genuine surprise! Don't be fooled by the pixel art style, it is very gorgeous and lovely to look at, gameplay-wise, simple but still quite challenging, highly recommend it to everyone!
The art and music are great and that is about it. This game is so easy and linear. Its literally look on your map, walk to marker, talk to someone/ slap some monsters, look on map, repeat. The game is just 1 storyline. The 30 playhours are more like 10 because al the long long long dialog which have no propose as to tell you a story. And you cant skip the dialog and cutscenes which sometimes take 5-10 mins. You dont need to read it for clues or anything. Its almost if you read a book and sometimes can walk and slap some enemies. And the more you progress to the end of the game the more and longer dialogs you need to endure. If this sounds like a fun game to you than play it. Otherwise think twice before buying.
there's times you sit back and go "wow, this game is made by 3 people" and other times where it's like "wow, this games is definitely made by 3 people".
Agreed, everything just pops and the usage of color is unreal. You look at some of the most normally mundane things and theyre textured with such a rich swathe of colors, boundless creativity and perhaps most impressively, the artstyle remains consistent throughout the entire game,
Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)
Can anyone recomend getting this on PC or Switch? Any longer load-times on the Switch or issues with controls, anything that makes it a better purchase on Steam?
id love to believe you , but your movie review of carnage has me skeptical .... no actually this game is really fun. maybe invest in someone new for the movies or drop them lol
I’m still playing through it and every moment is a blast. A pot of nostalgia ,hardwork, Easter eggs. It was worth the wait since the first trailers.
Just bought it last night. Not even 2 hours in and I’m already in love with this game 💜
@@BraXdotexe it’s an awesome ride. And best when you take your time and just look around it’s like being a tourist ina place that has a bit of everything.
Just finished it, enjoyed it for the most part.
Are you playing on PC or Switch?

"Fights are simple, and most enemies can be easily defeated"... Meanwhile he's getting destroyed in every single clip lol.
Man that’s funny 😂 hope this guy reviews elden ring and says the same thing
This looks so gorgeous. I’m really glad these games are still being made, they have a real charm about them that modern games just don’t have.
@A B pretty sure he meant modern graphics and 3d.
modern games are too busy shoving microtransactions lootboxes and liveservices into your throat.
@@josephsekara1377 Yeah it looks retro but there is so much detail and animations. This probably cant even be run on a ps2 lol
@@Brianworldwide_7 these are modern graphics you mean MODERN style
Try divinity original sin 2
The animation is just BEAUTIFUL.
Reminds me way more of the Mario & Luigi games
@@minbari73 ...you don't?
@@minbari73 … so you don’t
It could really use some more frames of animation, though.
@@jaimenavarro41 LMAO oof, he walked into that one huh? No one "getting any" uses the spelling "ladeez" ahaha
This game is gorgeous and has so many references. The texts and sounds when talking to npcs reminds me of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. For me is a 10/10.
YES! It's so sad that AlphaDream went bankrupt. 😭
Definitely like SuperStar Saga. Wish we had more like it.
Seems like a mix of Mario, Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper and Light Drifter
10/10….? Wtf 😂
@@nicholasnajibi3082 …have you played it?
5 hours in and im loving it. Support this game! We need more like these!
This review is well-written and delivery informative without fluff, while still showing some personality. I’m a fan of yours now, Jon. Thank you for this nice presentation.
Definitely one of the best this year, Sam is so charming
She kinda reminds me of Mabel from Gravity falls for some reason 😂
How can you not speak about this awesome soundtrack it has😱🔥
Bro ikr
Only an hour into the game I’m already loving it. This will be one of my favourite games on the Switch.
Its only on the switch?
@@creativebusinessunit7506 and PC
What do you like about it? Is the story and writing really not that great?
@@StevenoftheDead it was great. Just play it. Or don't
To me, the weird dialog from Characters is extremely charming. The over written Lines from characters aren't a masterpiece but it kinda makes you feel at home within the world.
when did "uninteresting" turn into charming in your collective minds?
@@kar12894 The Day personal opinions became a thing.
Just beat this game. Absolute BANGER. 9/10 only somewhat annoying thing about the game is there is A LOT of text / talking
There is a Dreamcast that plays the game within a game called EarthBorn, with Amiibos to go along with it. This game is awesome!
This guy gave probably the most underwhelming review of a potential all time cult classic. IGN gives more enthusiastic reviews for a Madden roster update and adding back in features from ps2 era games.
Agreed.
Please link to that Madden roster update review that is more enthusiastic than this.
@@TheDungeonDive plz see the last 10+ years of Madden reviews
World looks like an all grown up Pokemon yellow world, gameplay looks like Zelda-ish
Waiting for the release of the physical version.
Ive had the steam bookmark for this game saved for over 2 years, couldnt wait for it to come out.
Im loving this game so far😘👌
This game is very well paced and has a lot of moxie
For me is 10/10...
Everything is enjoyable for me, music, graphic, gameplay, puzzle...
One of my favorite game of all time. Love the story.
Sam finally wearing shoes shed a tear on my eye
This game is perfectly fit for switch, I’m loving it and lying on my bed with this amazing game.
Heavy disagreement on the dialogue writing
Right? What the heck is he talking about? The writing is SO solid.
Yeah the writing is supposed to be camp lol
brings back memories of earthbound
This game is classic! Cant wait for westward or an earth born game
This games a 10/10 for me its a no brainer so far
Love the music for this game
pleasantly surprised at the lack of Anti Chinese comments here, as this is a Shanghai based studio :) beautiful game
It reminds me of adventure time.
you cant blame the wording as the company is mainly a Chinese dev? some time translation from mandarin to English can be wonky.
Now on GamePass as of 12/1/2022!
As usual by Chucklefish's Publishes and works, the breathtaking pixelated graphics since Starbound and the 1st Risk of Rain still holds up to this day
To me, this is Mother 4.
Absolutely
This dude failed to mention about the really amazing soundtrack this game has.
"Bad review" 3/10 -IGN
“Well designed weirdos” are my favourite type of characters
Modern Earthbound vibes! Think I'll pick this one up soon
If they ever make another 2d Zelda, please do something like this lol
Great suggestion. 👍👍
Game is a masterpiece should be a 9 or 10
why don't you make a review video yourself
Far from a masterpiece... it's boring tbh. Take away the nice aesthetic and it's nothing.

Adventures of Chief Hopper and Eleven, post apocalypse.
That sounds awesome

Great job with the review. That was one of the best I’ve seen/read in quite some time.

It would be neat if sometimes a game can have a different rating than 8 on ign.
Didn't they just give out a 10 like 3 days ago?
Just bought this 10mins ago. Ready to start it!
Well? What do you think?
@@natedawg8778 he's too busy playing to answer lol
This game is 10/10 for me periodttt.
It looks like a game made by Nintendo so well done.
there's times you sit back and go "wow, this game is made by 3 people" and other times where it's like "wow, this games is definitely made by 3 people".
For real, only 3 guys?? It feels like there is literally not one sprite being reuse, ne love and care put into the sprites and animations is insane
@@ein_aaron-3031 they have 10 people on the team
the animation and coloring itself deserves an 9
Sams Theme is truly a masterpiece
I’m 3 chapters in and I’m really amazed so far
secret of evermore x adventure time
This game looks so calming 😊
This really reminds me of Alundra!
Being about 5hrs in, it’s a 9.5/10 from me
I’m loving this game so far
For everyone that finished it, if you had to rate how much this game made you cry from 1 to 10 how would your rate it? (Mother 3 rates about 8 for me)
5/10 too many dialogue
IGN would you recommend for any platform or a handheld gaming device?
He didn't even mentioned the soundtrack jeez
Is there a specific name for the archetype of old man and a young girl traveling in a post-apocalyptic world?
Father daughter survival
🤷♂️
Kate. It's short for Bob.
TLOU-core
haha maybe it will get a genre if we keep getting these types of games
The game is about 13 hours too long. But, hey, if you LOVE fetch quests, go ahead and buy it.
Probably the best looking pixel art on a game so far.
Agreed, everything just pops and the usage of color is unreal. You look at some of the most normally mundane things and theyre textured with such a rich swathe of colors, boundless creativity and perhaps most impressively, the artstyle remains consistent throughout the entire game,
This and Octopath Traveler are extremely beautiful modern metro games.
Has a little bit of everything. Makes you feel like Eastward. 11/10.
The audio sounds really hollow in the voiceover for some reason?
They're recording on a 1990s potato to be authentic as to how the game has nostalgia related throughout to the snes era
this and tails of iron have shown that indie games can be better than AAA games
The animation reminds me of Heartbound.
So stay from that woke garbage too. Ty.
And Heartbound itself was inspired by Earthbound (Mother) series. This style was started by Earthbound
Does anyone knows what the music at 0:40 is ? PLEASE
Surprised the score was as high as it is, it sounded like this dude just didn't like the game the whole time lol
He had other errands to attend to to and this assignment was on the way lol
East. Always East…

@@daniel5665 Can it get me soulstones?
Sun Wukong: am I a joke to you?
Nominate this for GOTY.
Seems like a GOTY contender
My game of the year
This reminds me Tekkonkinkreet so much
Fun sized The Last of Us haha
So far I’d give it 10/10
Game of the year 2021
Hahaha 😂 No not even close
Reminds me of the anime Sakugan. A father and adopted daughter with powers in a post apocalyptic world.
Been waiting for this. Can't wait to get the Switch NSP! :D
🤨
Yeaaaaah the writing was excellent imho so not sure where that came from?
Shanghai based studio developed it. Hmm.. they sure are getting there with all the inspirations. Graphics are quite like devolver games.
A true masterpeice 10/10
This game looks and feels more like Alundra rather than DQ or Earthbound or whatever else that was mentioned.
Not Earthbound but Mother 3. The art style is very similar to it.
Looks beautiful. Definitely a chill out iPad or switch game for me though.
With the way he praised this, it should’ve been a 9
Wait, say penchant again? Your delivery was exquisite 👌
Looks like it would be great cartoon
50% of my play time came from playing Earth Born so much (which is like 30hours). 😅
The bad writing is probably because of the fact that this is an indie game and the devs are Chinese and English aren't their native language.
It's on game pass!!! Yyyyaaaassss!
When this game coming out?
Cooking/making food such as hot items, pre made dinners, following recipes as well as weighing items. ⛄
Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)
Can anyone recomend getting this on PC or Switch? Any longer load-times on the Switch or issues with controls, anything that makes it a better purchase on Steam?
Does anybody tried this game on a M1 chip Macbook? Is the performance all right?
Still happy pixel art games are loved
id love to believe you , but your movie review of carnage has me skeptical .... no actually this game is really fun. maybe invest in someone new for the movies or drop them lol
had been an omori killer, butched the end tho / still a little gold piece in the sea of indie rpgs
been waiting for this to be released just bought it on switch!
This game is more than words
Persona has the same problem, 3 sentences when 1 is descriptive enough.
