      I'd prefer Morrowind over Ravenswood, regardless if one of them looks better.
      Morrowind has so much more to offer me and yes this includes nostalgic feelings. Another reason might be the Soundtrack. Another one the sheer complex design of the game itself where Ravenswood looks like it has only the combat part of Morrowind, which is "click left button / mouse button to attack; Hold left button for stronger power attack", so yes this is definately not Morrowind's strength.

    Unworthy is such a great game. I would highly recommend playing it without a guide because it would spoil an epic ending. Also I had countless moments where I would literally say “wait that worked?” during boss fights and just random moments throughout the game. That’s one of the things I love about it, the surprising amount of creativity And options you
    have for dealing with “impossible” situations. If I encountered a tough enemy combination or boss I would simply just switch up my tactics and weapons to deal with the situation. Speaking of bosses the boss fights are fun like very fun, every boss is unique and memorable so if you play through the game again you instantly remember what that boss coming up will be and how to dodge all it’s attacks allowing you to easily melt it since you
    beaten it before. I would highly recommend Unworthy it’s a very fun game and you will have a great experience like I did.

It’s odd to me because now that I’m older I typically don’t experiment with non mainstream titles (to a degree).

    There's a trend with the Chinese souls-likes: High budget, good animations and art, solid combat, something missing that would make it more than a tech demo. (Also usually either unfinished, abandoned, or both.)
    Edit: That last one kinda violates the High-budget, and solid combat requirements, but the rest still applies.

    I had to play Juice World after seeing it in this video and I gotta say I'm a changed man, truly a masterpiece and it was legitimately fun and intriguing trying to find all the things you can do in the game. For anyone interested after you find the house with an attic/basement that has a hole leading to that weird underground area shown in the video there is another hole in one of the towers leading down to what I'm going to assume is "Hell" with a boss monster. After beating him leave through the portal and you will see your buddy from school in the graveyard who mentions the Snake teacher you ditched at the start of the game, at that point my Flight and Energy was upgraded pretty high so I started flying directly up (since we came to the graveyard from falling through the juice door) I wanted to see if I was able to return to the school which yes you can, the teacher is waiting for you with a sword and you end up having a battle with her.

    For anyone interested in playing Neopets TDF, a few bits of advice from someone who played that game an absolute ton as a kid:
    Stock up on potions of Meerca speed. They are cheap and greatly reduce the time you'll spend running around.
    Don't just mash the circle button. You do a lot more damage by timing your attacks properly.
    Save at every chance you get.
    As a side note, I'm surprised that you never mentioned the huge amount of game-breaking bugs the game has. I know it is possible to not run into them but if you are lucky but the number of times they've made me quit and reload was frustrating as all Hell back in the day.

They also love them some numbers, so many games they make just hit you with a deluge of points like he got in the video.

    Glad to see you covered Unworthy! Criminally underrated game. As everyone else is saying, the level design and boss design are surprisingly well done, but the real catch to me has always been the music. Sure, some songs just kind of fit into the "generic dark souls opera boss battle hullabaloo" genre, but others become much more memorable, especially through leitmotifs. In the fight against Narcoss the Anvil, blacksmithing noises are incorporated into the score, to say nothing of the "secret ending" mechanism that I'll leave spoiler-free...

    The 'Souls-Like' from 2000 I go back to every few years is 3DO's Crusaders of Might and Magic. They developed the PS2 version first, and then rebuilt the game from scratch for PC, resulting in wildly different games concerning story (and sometimes even gameplay). I found it on GOG a while back; it's definitely worth a look. I'm loving your series! It keeps me entertained. :)

    "Unworthy" reminded me of that old game from gamejolt I found years ago called "red rogue", it's UI elements feel very similar and the theme feels like an upgrade.

    20:15 hey that's my review :D
    I got Ling when it was pretty cheap and after I wrote my review didn't play any further. I gave it the thumbs up mostly because of the moments like at 18:28, because some of the views were just really nice. Also, when I did manage to get the parry/attack times down, the combat did feel pretty weighty, which I enjoyed. But it ended up just becoming a mob-rush bullethell which just didn't allow that combat to shine like it could have done.
    Love you pineapple, I've watched you so many years so to see something I wrote featured even briefly in one of your videos means the world to me.

    Pls try out "In celebration of violence". It's an amazing souls-like with lots of charm and neat mechanics. Also has some cool lore and obscure as hell. The definition of hidden gem. Hope you play it.

    I’ve never been a fan of fromsoft games such as dark souls, I’m more of a DMC type of guy or God of war, but even so I love your videos man, also the dude at the beginning “Who only like tapping one button” I think he died to the first boss, blamed it on the game, then got mad, the first time I played bloodborne I was genuinely mad, I calmed down and came to the realization that it’s just not for me, your videos are basically the only souls content I watch and your videos are great!
