I bought this game after hearing everyone and their mother comparing it to Morrowind as I'm currently on a elderscrolls/TES-like bender while my actual Skyrim modlist is on the fritz, (getting the CK engine to work the way you want it to can be like trying to appease the machine spirit, sometimes.) I like it actually, I like it alot, but if anything this game seems closer to King's Field than Morrowind or anything pre-morrowind, (Which makes complete since, considering that it seems the game the devs published just before this one DIRECTLY states King's Field as inspiration.) There's no looting arms and armor, no third person camera, and you can't even name yourself, not to mention ALL of your attacks actually hit (regardless of whether or not they're blocked or otherwise effectively nullified.) If anything, the way I think about it, Morrowind/TES-type games are akin to CRPGs in a 3d environment and this is more like an ImSim.Still a great game though, and of course another great review, hoss!
I love the anti sponsorships. It's so nice to not have crap hawked at me for a change. Totally understand why UA-camrs do it, they need to eat and stuff, but I do kinda miss the days where UA-cam actually paid their creators and SponsorBlock wasn't nigh mandatory to keep your own sanity.
If i ever see an ad for something i make It a point to never buy it, i'll live off gas station hotdogs and tap water if i have to, ads will not work on me 😂
Your channel is just so comfy and anti-corpo. I've been watching you for over six years now, just catching all your vids, and you're just unlike any other UA-camr I know of. Thank you for being lovely
Okay, I'm not normally the type to comment but I feel like I've got something I want you to hear... or read I guess. Please read past the abrasive bit, I assure you I have no intent to insult you or offend you. I've been watchin' your work for a while now. I'm confident that if we were to meet, irrespective of the existence of this channel, at best we'd be polite and professional with eachother, maybe sustaining a begrudging and strained friendship if we had to. Different personality types or so. That is said because I think it showcases my sincerity when I say that I respect the hell out of you and what you're doing with this channel. When I first heard you say "Your art isn't content." I thought it was pretentious and self serving. (you might be able to see why I think we've got opposing personalities) I kept watching your work because you keep finding and showcasing interesting games. Then you kept it up. You continued to work harder to produce more and raise your quality wherever you could, further doing everything you can to minimise the cost of your art, for your audience. This is not how a self serving pretentious person acts. You are blatantly a man of principle and I cannot express clearly enough how much I think that matters. I try to be the same way with what I do. Your persistence and conviction has influenced me. I have grown to dislike the word content, directly as a result of you. Keep it up as best you can, just please don't burn out. Remember that humans need enrichment too. I humbly suggest a holiday, abroad if and when you can. I highly recommend Kruger National Park in South Africa, it's a beauty unlike any other I have seen on Earth, save for Lake Kariba, but that's in a very dangerous and expensive country. That last bit isn't the most important part of this, I'm just not sure how to express well wishes properly. I hope you and The Boy are happy and healthy both now and for many, many years to come.
Dread Delusion is somehow this large open world utterly absent of untrimmed fat. There are so many nooks and crannies to discover, each one with its own aspect of horror to uncover and a question to ask yourself. The dev cooked so hard with this one.
Yes, Dread Delusion is like classic Elder Scrolls. But it’s also like Deus Ex. Or Legacy of Kain. Or Fallout. Or Thief. Or Planescape: Torment. Not because it plays like them, looks like them, or is written like them; but because at its heart, it is like them a labor of love that deploys all of its imagination to immerse you in another world… and it's something you see less and less in big video games releases.
Personality increasing health regen reminds me how in Savage Worlds "spirit" -- basically charisma -- dictates how easy it is for your character to get back up after taking damage (failing that roll makes you waste a turn). Very useful.
To add something about the meal prep. If you have a branch of Kroger in your area (different names based on state) you can usually get a whole salmon slab wild caught frozen for $7 roughly. It keeps for a long time and comes pre-sectioned for easy meals. I love these cooking segments and value them greatly over ad-slop. Stay saucy.
I remember many years back I watched a video about a game, which I only recently rediscovered is called Miasmata, which features a mapping system where you have to triangulate your location using landmarks, and can fill in the map around you from there. I always thought that was neat.
God I love this game, evoked feelings in a jaded, washed out gamer and Im so glad you've shared this experience, gotten as lost as I had. Plus it deserves all the attention it gets.
I think this is the only time i cant try the meal prep part of the video. We don't get _salmon_ salmon in my neck of the woods, and indian salmon just isnt meaty enough to pull off the recipe. Definitely checking out Dread Delusion tho. Really scratches that early 2000s crpg itch.
Love Dread Delusion. Very atmospheric, great exploration, nice roleplay opportunities. It's not too difficult, even on hard mode, but the main thing is immersion and world building.
When I first came across Dread Delusion I absolutely fell in love with the world, it's so incredibly refreshing to have a properly fantastical fantasy world.
About to finally start this game tonight or tomorrow and I needed something to watch on UA-cam for about 20 minutes right now, so this is extremely timely!
Hi Charl, Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. Between Indieween and Halloween in July, I know you work your tail off, but you're an easy S-Tier channel for it in my book. Thanks for never backing down.
Your channel deserves at least a million subscribers, your anti sponsorship cooking segments always the highlight of your videos for me. Hell, I even copied your recipe from the last video, and the meal turned out great!
I'm glad Dread Delusion is so good because when I first heard of it I saw the price tag and thought "no way this isn't going to pull the rug from under me". I'll definitely have to pick up the game on steam.
I want to say your videos have begun me on a journey to do more meal prep. Especially as I begin a new chapter in my life as my gf moves in. I truly appreciate it man 🙏😃
I got so lucky with Dread delusion and Lunacid. I randomly found out about them the same time shortly after Dread delusion left early access. Played them both one after the other on a lone yet blissful week of paid vacation where I had prepared a bunch of snacks/food and drinks while I had to sit around and rest my foot in a special splint. Huh, I guess it's possible to form a core memory even at 32 years old. 😅
No, they made Elder Scrolls III, Part 2. If it was ES VI, there'd be pine trees, and boring general fantasy rather than the inventive world that we got with Dread.
@@BlackBulletRave Couldn't be any further from Morrowind if the only thing even remotely similar in terms of gameplay is the navigation system with no quest markers and the only similar aspect of the level design are the mushroom trees.
It's a good game, I don't think it has much in common with any Elder Scrolls, specially Morrowind, except maybe the graphics and that it's 'weird', but the gameplay itself and what it offers in terms of immersion, it definitely shows that it's an indie game and not enough resources to make an expanded setting with more branching narrative paths and evolving world that truly changes with character's decision. On it's own , it's a fun with incredibly simplistic gameplay and sometimes even boring combat, and World that feels very linear if you're used to Morrowind. But, the narrative and the lore def carries the game, it's very interesting.
My main criticism of Lunacid is that once the first impression of immaculate vibes wore off, the lack of balance and the shallowness of the combat became really apparent. A good idea that wasn't fully fleshed out. My hunch is that Dread Delusion will be similar and I hope I'm wrong. Massive respect to the developers of both games - these are exactly the sort of game that appeals to me, and I'm glad we are getting things like this.
Star Trucker is a great game and I’d consider it an immersive sim. Its also on gamepass and so it might get a decent amount of views. A BGs 3 video would be good and maybe a new Typhon video or a video going over Arkane’s best immersive sims along with hopes for the Blade game they’re working on. Just a few recommendations for videos but keep it up, I love seeing these indie titles I’ve never heard of. You’re the reason I bought Shadows of Doubt and many other games that have become some of my favorites. This genre needs more attention and funding!
Oh I've been watching it since EA release, I've just been waiting for the right time to make a video about it. There's quite a few games I've been keeping my eye on but for one reason or another they're not ready for videos yet. I'd feel terrible if I showed something off that wasn't quite ready for what little exposure I could give it and end up hurting the game's overall publicity.
I generally quite liked it, the aesthetic is amazing, the worldbuilding is very cool, and I appreciated that the game was fundamentally uninterested in grinding and really did everything it could to incentivize exploration. I do have some criticisms, mainly that I found the game a bit frontloaded. everything laid out in the introductory missions is great, but it doesn't really develop all that much as you get further into the game. enemies will have more health and hit a bit harder (which is mostly fine, though stuff in the last couple areas did start to feel a bit spongy), but you don't really need to do anything different to fight them, and can usually just run right past without much difficulty. the airship you eventually unlock is neat too. but you get it _very_ late in the game, and there's only a few new places to go with it. further, while it's clear that the developers wanted players to explore as much as possible, the rewards for doing so unfortunately really fall off later on. throwing knives and a few coppers just don't really matter outside the early game. while, if you want to use bows as a major source of damage, you'll end up short on arrows very quickly. I'm being a bit critical, but I really did like what was there and have no regrets about purchasing and playing the game, I just wanted a little more than what I got. I will be keeping an eye on future projects from these devs, and really look forward to checking out whatever they come up with next.
I see people comparing this game to Elder Scrolls which confuses me as someone who has played the demo years ago and finished the full release version this year because it's a lot more like Gothic than Morrowind besides the obvious mushroom tree aesthetic.
Shouldn't the total for the two games be $29.98 instead of $27.98, or am I missing something? (Now I am realizing, that the price of the Sonar shock @17:30 is different from the last video)
The new releases, AAA, on steam's front page are $93.49 Canadian. Before taxes. After its $107. Now add that to the fact that most of these games are broken, content-devoid, and plain unfun.
What you say at the minute 12-13 about getting lost in the world is both interesting and concerning. Oblivion is a horrendous example for that. Sure, it has a big world to get lost in, but the main quest doesn't want you to. You are the Hero, you have to Save The World. Now! Schnell! Sooner than that! You Were Already Late Ten Minutes Before Purchasing The Game! It All Hinges On You! Sure, there's no real damage if you postpone it for months in game or IRL, but if anything, that it's even more immersion breaking. Don't create urgency if you can't or don't want to enforce it otherwise the believability of your world falls apart. So, what is the plot of Dread Delusion? Does it accomodate or even encourage forgetting about it (like, to remain in Bethesda's world, how Morrowind does), or did you forget about it despite its best effort? That's a crucial point to me.
Without having played it myself yet, the way Charl summarizes it as "you're an unwilling agent of the inquisition" makes it sound like it would be in-character for the player to drag their feet; they don't have any personal stakes in the main plot and would rather get out of it if possible.
Sir, I went and bought this game the second after watching your video! By God does it remind me of Morrowind ! Not just the graphic but the weird mushroom the size of trees. Is it me or the game plays the sword swing sound when blocking with F ? Lol 😂
I don't mind the crunchy textures, but I really can't stomach the absolute devotion to replicating the wobbly vertexes of the PSX. It wasn't even that noticeable back in the day due to the low resolutions and visual noise we had on CRTs! It's my biggest aesthetic bugbear, some medium flaws are just hardware bugs, why celebrate them.
vertices, and in most games you can disable that effect, like in ultrakill. there is objectively never a good reason to start playing a game without checking your settings first. even console games nowadays are adding in useful settings like disabling camera shake or disabling ugly post-process effects like chromatic aberration and depth of field. new to PC gaming I presume?
Was the get bamboozled supposed to reference it maybe being an ad? Cause you seemed to word it like it was going to be an ad for FACTOR or w.e that microwave meal thing is.
I think we need to up the ante on Indiween a bit (a wee bit, if you will.) Instead of totalling all purchases to the price of a single AAA release, you probably should aim at a price of a QUADRUPLE A releases, such as critically acclaimed game Skull and Bones, with it's price tag of $70. Why exactly that? Well, because 4 A is more than 3 A and to highlight ridiculousness of "quad A" meme better.
It will never stop being baffling to me how someone who made the best Bioshock:Infinite analysis videos on this platform AND who makes videos like this one, can unironically still be defending Bethesda. Fucking mind-boggling
I never defended Bethesda, I compared it to the happy memories I had of a better time playing their games. If you want to have everything be the worst thing ever and everyone who makes it to be evil, money grubbing suits, that's your prerogative. I however choose to not allow the bad things of today tarnish the good times I had in the past.
i really like alot of things about this game the writing, world building and exploration are excellent but i felt like they went with too large a scope. The music that is there is really good but it becomes grating after the one or at most two tracks per area begin to loop and for some reason that really irked me. the combat is very simple and the having to reequip spells after walking into certain areas becomes annoying.
Whish this game was playable on Steam Deck seeing it is verified by Valve themselves. But the game runs dog shit on the steam deck lol, while Lunacid have smooth 90 fps. This game is around all over the place, the very first area has 20-60 fps lol
All that flavour you could have poured over the fish before you threw the paper away.... Also, why put a cling-wrap sealed container of fish into a freezer bag just to throw out the freezer bag? And people wonder why our testicles are filled with microplastics now..... :P Nice recipe tho :)
I know for a fact I’m a huge minority but dude the cooking segments are literally just as annoying as an ad. As someone who loves your game analysis AND cooking, the cooking segments are heavily detracting from my enjoyment.
I really wanted to get into this one, but the actual gameplay is just too shallow and perfunctory for me. It feels like they created a game world first, and then sprinkled in some basic game mechanics so that their walking simulator would technically have gameplay. Like one of those 30-minute indie games that are really just there to walk you through a short interactive story, but stretched out over hours. Doesn't help either that the game relies on my absolute least favourite video game level design trope, floating islands.
I think there's nothing inherently wrong with a "game" that's mostly about walking around and seeing cool stuff, e.g. Yume Nikki or Dream Emulator. The "genre" gets a bad reputation for being essentially holding W while someone talks at you for a half hour. It obviously doesn't appeal to everyone and the combat is basic and unengaging, but I'd count it on the good side of the walkabout genre because the focus is on discovery.

Your work ethic putting out all these videos and making the cooking sections free is really moving. You are a real one if I've ever met one!
Dread Delusion and Lunacid pair perfectly together. Maybe it's the dev collaboration , but they play like an extension of each other.
Haven't heard of Lunacid thanks for the recommendation looks really good.
Okay, I'm not normally the type to comment but I feel like I've got something I want you to hear... or read I guess. Please read past the abrasive bit, I assure you I have no intent to insult you or offend you.

I adore this game, it NEEDS more exposure and more people giving it a fair shot
Last time I came this early, Frisk was being a saucy boi.
Wow, the mapping thing is something I was thinking about for some years now too. Nice that someone actually did it.
I remember many years back I watched a video about a game, which I only recently rediscovered is called Miasmata, which features a mapping system where you have to triangulate your location using landmarks, and can fill in the map around you from there. I always thought that was neat.
I'd love to see an in-depth video on this one later, I plan on picking it up once I've finished up the current set of games I'm playing.
God I love this game, evoked feelings in a jaded, washed out gamer and Im so glad you've shared this experience, gotten as lost as I had. Plus it deserves all the attention it gets.

Dread delusion feels like kings field and that's what I want
Finished this game a few months back, it took some time, but when I got hooked, I played for around 8 hours a session, this game hooks you real good.
Awesome game. The exploration and setting is what kept me interested through the entire thing.
I got so lucky with Dread delusion and Lunacid. I randomly found out about them the same time shortly after Dread delusion left early access. Played them both one after the other on a lone yet blissful week of paid vacation where I had prepared a bunch of snacks/food and drinks while I had to sit around and rest my foot in a special splint.

Been lookin at this game for awhile, glad you covered it
I've been so excited for this game!!
Great, another banger I'll have to finish someday. As if my to-do list wasn't big enough.
This game felt like a pleasent dream you dread waking from.
It was one those games you just dont want to come to an end.

It's my biggest aesthetic bugbear, some medium flaws are just hardware bugs, why celebrate them.
vertices, and in most games you can disable that effect, like in ultrakill. there is objectively never a good reason to start playing a game without checking your settings first. even console games nowadays are adding in useful settings like disabling camera shake or disabling ugly post-process effects like chromatic aberration and depth of field. new to PC gaming I presume?
I just love the look of the PSX wobble
Im sorry but i cant abide by this non crispy/fried salmon, you didnt even fry the skin separately, its sooooo good like that!
YES FINALLY!
Was the get bamboozled supposed to reference it maybe being an ad?
Cause you seemed to word it like it was going to be an ad for FACTOR or w.e that microwave meal thing is.
I think we need to up the ante on Indiween a bit (a wee bit, if you will.) Instead of totalling all purchases to the price of a single AAA release, you probably should aim at a price of a QUADRUPLE A releases, such as critically acclaimed game Skull and Bones, with it's price tag of $70. Why exactly that? Well, because 4 A is more than 3 A and to highlight ridiculousness of "quad A" meme better.
Hi Charlatan Wonder greetings from France. What are your thoughts about Terminator Resistance? Great immersive sim imo.
Never played it. Nothing against it, I just never got around to it.
@@CharlatanWonder It's an absolute masterpiece despite some (very forgivable) flaws, you should put a hand on it :)
Cool, kool, and cool.
Is the next game Cultic?? I love me some Cultic.
Your the best❤❤❤❤❤
Oh man, I cant do this quest, Im not delulu enough
It will never stop being baffling to me how someone who made the best Bioshock:Infinite analysis videos on this platform AND who makes videos like this one, can unironically still be defending Bethesda.
Fucking mind-boggling
I never defended Bethesda, I compared it to the happy memories I had of a better time playing their games. If you want to have everything be the worst thing ever and everyone who makes it to be evil, money grubbing suits, that's your prerogative. I however choose to not allow the bad things of today tarnish the good times I had in the past.
@@CharlatanWonder I wasn't talking just about this video in specific, but quite a few earlier ones, particularly related to Fallout
Nice
Oh look, that one game Synthetic Man trashed on.
i really like alot of things about this game the writing, world building and exploration are excellent but i felt like they went with too large a scope. The music that is there is really good but it becomes grating after the one or at most two tracks per area begin to loop and for some reason that really irked me. the combat is very simple and the having to reequip spells after walking into certain areas becomes annoying.
Whish this game was playable on Steam Deck seeing it is verified by Valve themselves. But the game runs dog shit on the steam deck lol, while Lunacid have smooth 90 fps. This game is around all over the place, the very first area has 20-60 fps lol
All that flavour you could have poured over the fish before you threw the paper away....
Also, why put a cling-wrap sealed container of fish into a freezer bag just to throw out the freezer bag? And people wonder why our testicles are filled with microplastics now..... :P
Nice recipe tho :)
This game really makes you feel like a Hobbit
I started as a mage, and after 2 hours of play i managed to get 0 spells, would reccommend
Would tuna work in place of salmon? I hate the taste of salmon 😖
I don't see why it wouldn't.
Let him cook
Literally
Tranimal game
Bic Gonder
Me skipping at least a third of the game because I maxed charisma first
Its more morrowind than oblivion
The soundtrack gets stale fast. I put in the OST of Nier Automata in the back
9.99 plus 19.99 is not 27.98
Yeah I typo'd. Sonar Shock costs $7.99 on steam.
the game is way too easy that it becomes boring. there's no challenge whatsoever. shame as I was looking forward to this while it was in early access.
I know for a fact I’m a huge minority but dude the cooking segments are literally just as annoying as an ad. As someone who loves your game analysis AND cooking, the cooking segments are heavily detracting from my enjoyment.
I really wanted to get into this one, but the actual gameplay is just too shallow and perfunctory for me. It feels like they created a game world first, and then sprinkled in some basic game mechanics so that their walking simulator would technically have gameplay. Like one of those 30-minute indie games that are really just there to walk you through a short interactive story, but stretched out over hours. Doesn't help either that the game relies on my absolute least favourite video game level design trope, floating islands.
I think there's nothing inherently wrong with a "game" that's mostly about walking around and seeing cool stuff, e.g. Yume Nikki or Dream Emulator. The "genre" gets a bad reputation for being essentially holding W while someone talks at you for a half hour. It obviously doesn't appeal to everyone and the combat is basic and unengaging, but I'd count it on the good side of the walkabout genre because the focus is on discovery.
