    In many aspects, this game addresses the exact type of game I've been trying to develop myself: a Pirate themed TRPG, albeit they went with a more random formula while I'm trying to cover historical facts (I come from a City which historically has a lot of Pirates so I want to include that in it). This and Expeditions: Conquistador are the two games that most closely resemble what I want to achieve, it is really appreciated for me that you do this review.
    To you, reader, May you wander in wisdom

    I think there's a market for shorter, cost effective games for people like me who don't always have a ton of time to commit but want to explore new stories. I'd love it if a studio just ran a series of 1 or 2 act adventures with the same game engine and mechanics so I could blow through them. As long as this one's cheap enough, they had me at "loot based experience".

    Great review. Been waiting for this, but 10 hours seems a bit short. Not against shorter games but a bit costly at £35.

      For 35, don't think so. Games costing 60 usually are 20-30 hours.

    • @craigambler3282
      @craigambler3282 7 днів тому +2

      30 hours is a good number and if a good game worth whatever they want. Saying that I normally now wait for sale. 10 hours is 3 evening playtime. There is no mention of any replayability, and has it seems linear it is a one time play. I normally play these game once anyway so replayability is mote. I got stung with Thaumaturge recently as that finished before I had got into it.
      Wait for sale I think.

      I'm not saying it's a long game but I tend to think if Mort says a game lasts a certain amount of time you can usually times that by 1.5 (so 15 in this case). He's a master at motoring through games without pause. Most of the rest of us are going to get distracted, fiddle with things a bit more and generally play through slower because we don't have another game queued up to play afterwards already.
      Plus the review doesn't actually mention a price anyway.

    So a pure tactics game disguised as a cRPG then ? Those are fun too but I was hoping for more, no point moving on a map if there is very little to find and only one linear path.

    I'm ok with the short length, sometimes I just want a game I can consume in a session or two, and the bugs and glitches can hopefully be fixed with patches, but what I really don't like are the artstyle inconsistencies for some reason. Having all the portraits and world be this semi-realistic "authentic" pirate look of the era, then the cutscenes go into this "Dark Horse comic" style is really weird imo. I know that's a odd thing to gripe about but it's really throwing me off lol

    Consider the replayability of crpgs when you consider price, and this guy is a beast. 10 hrs for this guy is like 20 to 30+ for normies like me. He burns through games at an insane speed, for these videos, not a critique. I dont know, just things to consider maybe.

    • @AyarARJ
      @AyarARJ 5 днів тому

      Upwards of 200 hours for pfwotr doens't feel like "burns through".
      But I suspect it is and you're not wrong.
      Even for regular reviews' estimate of game length I know I'm going to be 20% longer, minimum. And even then might be an 84% run.

    I have to ask, how do you keep yourself motivated to play all these games? I have several games That I have started or played halfway through but then life happened (or boredom) and was never able to finish. By the time I come back to them (months/years later) I have to restart as I have no clue what I was doing. The problem is I can't stand the slog that the start of many games have and I am just never able to pick the game back up. This is particularly an issue when it comes to crpgs and jrpg style games.
    I'm trying not to by new games until I at least beat the list of unfinished games. Some or all you have reviewed.
    Dragon Age: Origins
    Shadows: Awakening
    Dragons Dogma
    Fallout: New Vegas
    Greedfall
    Skyrim
    Divinity: OS 1 and 2
    Pillars of Eternity
    Tower of Time
    Tyranny
    Edge of Eternity
    Everspace 2
    You have any tips on staying motivated? I have no problem with games like Outward, Elden Ring, Remnant 1&2, Zelda, Soul Reaver, Asterigos, etc...

    Hey Mort, do you always include the approximate length of the game you are reviewing? If not, that would be a welcomed addition to each review. The length of a game is actually really important for busy blokes like me. If a game is short, I'm more likely to make an impulse buy (especially if you give it a positive review). The bigger, longer games can be a tough decision to get into because of the time commitment required for a proper playthrough. "How long to play" helps me to know how to prioritize when I'm considering picking up a title.
