    Hey Morty, I really like your work, watching this video, I saw that you mentioned the issue of the story being "ok", thinking about it, it would be good for you to make a video about the games you consider with the best story. Note: I would like to recommend a game, Yakuza Like a Dragon, I had a pre-concept with this game, I played with 0 expectations, however I was surprised, it is not the best game, the rpg system is not innovative, however, the game has an interesting story and manages to mix the narrative context well, with comedy and seriousness.

    The game has incredible potential, it baffles me that it has almost zero mainstream recognition. I mean, yeah, it’s not mount&blade, but the game has zero mods on Nexus, and even Chinese ones on steam are years old at this point. Great review, although I would like to hear more about NG+ and how it changes the game on subsequent play through, given that you’ve completed the game at least five times to get 100%.

    If you want another game for review, which I just played but I think fits your style, how about "Starcom:Nexus"?. Sure has problems, but I played it to the end, (circa 25 hours), and definitely falls into an RPG experience, (even if you are controlling a gun brick of doom by the end - felt sorry for some of the alien races, because I was just mining them).

    i really want to like this game but i play it during launch and was pretty overwhelm by all the things it throw at me. a bit more context about this game it an chinese game with a fairly chinese fantasy story if you wonder why there is some pretty strange wording that's probably why, chinese is pretty hard to do a translation. the game at launch have a pretty strong reminiscence to really really MMO games specifically Asian MMO which is why late game it just become a number game. one of the hallmark of early asian MMO you just lost track of things on the screen.
    looking at the game now looks like they fix up the UI by alot so i might give a try again. P.S. if you know chinese play it chinese.

    The only problem with this game is lacked of information whatsoever.
    I wish they add troop trees allows me to see what type of units of other factions/tribes or other monster or bandit have, I spent hours and a lot of Utars recruiting to see the troop tree. And what even worst, idk what is good or bad. There is no stats whatsoever. It only gave you, type of the unit, damage type, armor type and what skills unit has. That is all! so frustrating.
    NEXT
    because of lacked information, it is hard to discerning which town belongs who's. Idk which lord in the factions, unless I MEET THEM.
    Even on internet, it is hard to find information for INGAME stuff as well.
    Normally, if player can't find the specific item we can just google and got the answer. Instead NONE! I don't know where to find the specific items! For example, the plant that Sultan has to find to stop Nemishi tribe attacking, Bitter flowers to wake up drunkard, like what the heckkkkkk.
    It is so confusing when you start the game. So confusing. Even you play M&B before it does confusing you a lot!
    So for you first gameplay expect confusion and a lot of mistakes.
    Don't start as Sultan even it is cool to able to command a lot of squads/units IT IS HARD.
