    Karak's To-Do List: Eat, Sleep, Review Games
    Karak: "I guess 1 out of 3 is good enough."

  • @ACGreviews
    @ACGreviews  6 років тому +120

    Summary
    Patch released about 15 minutes ago seems to have shored up the FPS as well good news!
    Not an amazing game. But really enjoyable and really excellent control and a very interesting world space for me. If you are not a fan of these kinds of games though, then your not going to suddenly be one. But 6-8 hours at this price aint bad for this game.
    Also for fans the youtube gaming side has the new paypal/youtube membership link if you don't want to do patreon gaming.ua-cam.com/channels/K9_x1DImhU-eolIay5rb2Q.html

      @FINALBOSSVIBES 6 років тому

      I have a question for you. What's your take on the HUD? I ask because I spoke with the devs on discord and UA-cam and I told them I didn't like it as it doesn't fit the aesthetics of the game world and looks very bland. Do you have an opinion of this?

  • @happydylmore2542

    Very detailed and fleshed out as always. Pretty bummed ACG never reviewed the recent Dishonored standalone.

  • @unlyricallyrics4152
    @unlyricallyrics4152 6 років тому +1

    Great review as always. I played a bit of this before work and it seems like it's going to be pretty cool. I didn't know you could have upgrades and I ran into a thing that hints at maybe there's different skins you can choose for your character when you unlock them. Those are always nice features in games. Looking forward to playing it more when I get off!

    I don't really see the Abzu / Journey comparisons from gameplay yet, but I've been keeping an eye on this game for a while now and can't wait to try it out tomorrow and find out more, thanks for the great video!

    • @POOKISTAN
      @POOKISTAN 6 років тому

      I was wondering about this too - It doesn't really seem to have the Journey/Abzu anagle as far as I can tell, though I only watched the review footage. At the very least, it looks like if it is there, there's other aspects from other genres/sub-genres that appear to be more prominent than the "moody/atmospheric walking simulator" that has come to define Journey/Abzu. If you get further in and think his assessment is right in this regard (or confirm that it's mostly malarkey), you should respond to this Comment a bit down the line when you play it some more. I'm definitely always on the lookout for another Journey/Abzu clone (*Glances over at Bound with VR support*), but I dunno' if this game fits the bill...

  • @astro_morph
    @astro_morph 6 років тому +1

    Would love if you had a chance to review Darkwood, I know so many folks are tired of the survival horror genre but it really does a good job of changing it the slight bit to make it feel new and fresh, even more so since the horror is based around the theme, sound and story rather then jump scares.

    Best video game review channel on youtube hands down. Interesting and vivid as well as comical but believable most of all. I also appreciate the choice of games reviewed as it brings games I may never have seen to my attention. Whether its a game I'm considering purchasing or just to hear your take on "insert title" definitely never leave disappointed.

  • @steezmunkey5789
    @steezmunkey5789 6 років тому

    would you recommend this game for me; I'm really looking for something like Legend of Zelda BOTW and is this similar?
    I'm not into RPGs or MOBAs and at first I thought Hob was one of those but I'm not sure whether to get it or not...

  • @GamingwBix
    @GamingwBix 6 років тому

    What a great review! Nice job!
    I downloaded HoB last night and booted it up for a few minutes to see what it looks like and how it controls and I was so bummed I had to go to sleep! I can't wait to sit down with it and give it the time attention it definitely seems to deserve.
    Also, it sounds like you would absolutely love Rime. If you haven't played it yet, you must!

  • @rickbird366
    @rickbird366 6 років тому +8

    One of the best of all time for me. Reminded me of the first time I picked up NES Zelda. No hints and tips, just off to explore.

  • @MrX-nh4zl
    @MrX-nh4zl 6 років тому +2

    Do we know if HOB has any PS4 Pro enhancements? HDR? FPS? Thanks

  • @Alexthelion93
    @Alexthelion93 6 років тому

    It looks like a nice journey type of game. Also reminds me of Rime and the character looks like out of a Magicka game. Thanks for bringing this game to my attention, and good job on the review, as always!

  • @xeroeddie
    @xeroeddie 6 років тому +1

  • @adambrown1837

    this isnt my type of game but. i just wanted to let you know i subbed about a year ago after watching you witcher 3 review, where i said when i can finally patron "you will be the first i will" just letting you know that has not changed. sorry UA-cam has become so toxic to content creators but keep doing you!

I almost didn't watch your review for fear , I thought ... what if it sucks? but then i thought oh well let me watch it and man! im so glad you liked it! great review as always! thank you for taking the time :D ps.. how about a review for "RUINER" ?? :) its also coming out tomorrow so????....

  • @duroprem
    @duroprem 6 років тому +2

    I never heard of this game before, but it looks awesome. For some reason, it gives me a bit of a Hyper Light Drifter vibe, and I loved that game, so I'll definitely consider buying this one.

  • @lloydchristmas4547
    @lloydchristmas4547 6 років тому +1

    This game has been on my Steam wish list since the beginning. The reason why I hesitate to get this beautiful, original, and well crafted game by a very reputable company is that I don't think I can handle running around alone without fighting for so long (though in the RPGs I play there are other things to interact with). Not a complaint; just what I'm thinking. Great review by the way. Thanks a lot. Bring on Torchlight Frontiers!

    • @FlameCatXVI
      @FlameCatXVI 6 років тому

      Yeah; I spent 7 hours on this yesterday and still find myself with so much to do and enjoy, only having barely obtained grapple and all the collectables I've come across, yet I'm still missing a lot, so I don't really think it's fair to say it's an 8-hour game, but whatever. Still wondering wether I should craft the green or purple ruined I have schematics for first, after I get one more Corrupted Butterfly.

  • @samvimes9510
    @samvimes9510 6 років тому

    Oh man, I forgot this was coming out. I never played Journey or Abzu, but they do look beautiful. I'm definitely going to pick this game up though, simply because I have complete faith in the devs and want to support them. If I end up falling in love with this sort of atmospheric puzzler genre, so be it.

    OMG, I had a good laugh at the "where's TL3 bit" LOL. I said that same line the first time I saw the trailer for Hob, glad to see Runic making games but damn I really wish they would have further developed TL2 with an expansion of some sort or a reliable multiplayer experience since the end game was pretty bland forcing you to MOD for Synergies.

  • @eiadtarabulsi
    @eiadtarabulsi 6 років тому +2

    Both Torchlight games are really good, especially the first one. Given Runic Games' success with the Torchlight franchise I have some pretty high expectations when it comes to Hob. The game looks pretty and is vibrant. The controls work really well which is always important in any video game. The camera is an issue as is the game's FPS. There really isn't much when it comes to enemy variety. Despite a few wrinkles, I'm definitely going to give this game a shot. Thanks Karak for another awesome review!

    • @kyotheman69

      I live right across the street from their studio and about a month ago I saw Joseph at a coffee shop and asked them if Torchlight 3 was a thing. He looked right at me and smiled and said "well, for now, let's just say it's not not a thing." True story.

      After the debacle that is Torchlight mobile I can see them wanting to eventually bring a little respect back to their maligned IP. I think they just needed a break from arpg's.

      Torchlight 1 and 2 are some of the most boring and mind numbing action RPGs I've ever played. Hopefully they leave that whole series behind.
