Did it?
The shut up and sit down effect
Coolstuff still has some. One fewer now.
@@BlueTorchWeddings a passing remark of El Dorado as "best game" got it to bgg hotness. Imagine what a whole review saying it would do
Thank fuck I bought this last week on Actualol’s recommendation
Tom is an absolute treasure.
He is just such a good review presenter
I remember one of the first reviews and reacted like he would absolutely not fit the team and vibe.... but people, can a person grow into a role and become ridiculously great at reviewing and presenting in no time! Absolutely astonishing and baffling! thanks for being on SUSD tom!
Does Tom remind anybody else of hbomberguy's comedic/narration style? I mean that as a compliment. Though hbomberguy uses a lot of cursing (which doesn't bother me but that's the main difference)
@@albinoorca its some voice similarities and flourishes, places both like to pause speech and places they both like to speed it up. Its subte but i can definitely see it.
The other two guys I could take or leave.
Dude, I don't comment much on stuff but your videos are always a highlight of my week.
Fun to watch Tom's reviews get better and better. This one was a masterclass!
"These Bends,
They Freaky!"
My new line to try out as I enter a pub.
Accompanied with a flourish of the hand indicating myself.
I absolutely love the segments where your voice overlap a little bit with itself (like the ending of one sentence will overlap with the beginning of the following sentence), the way you do it is always soooo funny.
Tom is such an amazing writer and reviewer. His language is a beautiful and so well crafted; you can tell he takes his time and takes joy in writing things out. His enthusiasm for gaming and the games he loves in infectious. His tone is calm and calming, and always respectful and humble. He’s a genius game reviewer. I admire many of them, but I can’t think of a better one. Wonderful job, Tom. Oh and the game looks magnificent. I love Flamme Rouge and will definitely get this. My only concern is it looks a bit more complicated than FR.
I'm curious to know what was said instead of "moment"! Also, love the framed Kim Kitsuragi in the background.
Gawd, that cutout in the window freaks me out--every shot! 😵💫😄
You watch video, cutout watches you. That is creepy. 🤨
Who is that?!
@@indigo988 Maybe this is Tom's grandpa with whom he had watched F1 racing?
@@indigo988 pretty sure it’s Frank from always sunny
Danny DeVito=National Treasure
When you mentioned this in the Christmas gift video I thought it looked similar to Flamme and was very curious to see the full video. Glad it plays so well and I will certainly need to keep my eyes out for it.
One other facet that I really appreciate about the game is that it actually has a useful insert, which even fits the cards when sleeved! I find it incredibly rare that any game has a keepable insert and even rarer that the occasional nice one fits sleeved cards which always leaves me with a dilemma. Considering how often you are repeatedly shuffling the same small stack of cards in this game I would highly recommend the addition of the sleeves here (Mayday 7076 dark purple 56mm x 87mm work great). The only downside to the insert is that the rulebooks are slightly too tall to sit inside the insert so they lie across it, so I may trim a few milimeters off the tops and bottoms for my own sanity.
We talked with the wife, that this should be next month's purchase, but (as always) i was unsure whether it was that good.
Well, those doubts are gone, and THIS is gonna be the game we buy next month, alongside with Love letter which we fell in love with after we tried it at a gaming bar.
Keep up this amazing work you guys are doing, your content is top-shelf as always!
Vincent Dutrait is a master, his style is just *chefs kiss*
Quinns crunching at 3:42 is the perfect touch
Great review, per usual. I'm really loving all the classic video game sound effects and music getting cameos in Tom's videos
Glad to see this review! I was interested in this game from the Christmas suggestion video
The small audio clips in this video are the frosting on the cake
Great video. I got this game just in time to play one lap with my wife before leaving for Christmas. We loved it and can’t wait to play it much more. I also love the 60s open wheel racing theme; those lotus cars were the most beautiful imho.
glad to see danny devito, famous formula 1 driver, providing oversight for the review
Really loved the editing in this video, the hair toll was well worth it
Fantastic review! Tom and all of the cool videography was brilliant! He just keeps getting better and even more engaging! I like this game a lot too! Happy holidays!
Managed to snag this for my wife literally as soon as it was mentioned in your gift guide episode and it's looking like it's going to be the best spur of the moment Christmas gift ever! But also, why is Danny Devito in your window, Tom?
I saw the same thing...must be a fan of Mantis Toboggan md
I have the same danny. Love it
Phenomenal video, editing is off the roof.... just well done tom.... well done
Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap! Probably the best review in a standout channel. I just played Heat for the first time today and loved it. I'm a fan of race games and I think this is the best race game that I have played. Came back here to rewatch the review and it is absolutely spot on.
The video and sound editing is so energetic! Nice work!
Own it and diggin' it. My problem with Flamme was that people always seemed to end up in a group at the end and there was no really distance put on other players. This game add more opportunities to put some distance between you and the other players
That's also the beauty of it. It's realistic to an actual bike race
@@BigRenz13 Totally. For me though Heat is just more what I was looking for.
@@lllorez it's double the price of flamme tho!
@@BigRenz13 I was lucky enough to find mind for 50 bucks pre order. It's worth every bit of 50 bucks.
@@lllorez USD?
Well then. I just found my xmas gift to myself. Love racing board games.
Bought Heat at UKGE today, and saw you Tom. Which was nice.
0:15 do i hear a doom
Was just thinking about this game today and all of a sudden I get the notification. Excited to try it when I get the chance!
I have been collecting every auto-racing board game I have been able to find for 5 decades. After 3 plays HEAT is in the top 3 and is going to be played a lot. Not only does it feel like a race it also plays very fast, a very rare trait in a racing game. 10 out of 10 from a very picky racing board gamer.
Wow, do you have a list of your collection somewhere?
top 3 racing games? Which racing game is best for beginners?
Definitely putting this game on my radar! Thanks for the great work as always, and it was fantastic to meet you at PAX Unplugged. I'll be sure to donate soon!
Lovely to meet you too Devin!
Nice like a card version of formula D, one of my 'old school' faves. Love deck-building/mgmt so this is prob going to make it to game night next year, thanks as always for the suggestion!
love the disco Elysium art by your desk!
doom shotgun ala tim rogers. very nice!
Thank you Tom for releasing this video a week after I got my copy. I have a great game and don't have to struggle to find it after you have certainly pushed numerous people to go run out and buy this game.
I have this game (after many months of waiting) and it's fantastic. The basic version that teaches you the fundamentals is a little boring but it does get you into the right mindset. Once you add in the modules like weather conditions and car upgrades, and take it to a season instead of a single race, it becomes incredible tactical, exciting, and unique. There is also a really good "bot" mechanic so if you're playing with only two people (or even solo) you can add the two bots and still have a competitive game.
If you can get hold of it, I agree with Tom that it's utterly worth your money.
About how much did you pay for your copy? Wondering when a good time to buy will be 😅
The SNES SF2 Ken Soundtrack at 08:40 is some of the real icing on the editing cake here -- though I feel like F-Zero would've been thematically a better fit. "Big Blue," f'evah, but maybe that's too deep a cut.
I've been checking back for this video since Tom mentioned it in the gift recommendations video. I'm getting my copy tomorrow and can't wait to take it for a spin with the family this weekend! (See what I did there?)
The framed Kitsuragi portrait on the mantle coupled with this amazing review gets an instant "subscribe" from me!
I feel personally attacked with his description of Formula 1.
Yeah... He says that the game feels how formula 1 should feel, but shouldnt a F1 fan be more qualified to say that?
Great game. Can't wait for the 8 player expansion and more tracks!
I mean I allready own Heat, and am loving it but when Ken's theme kicked in at the 8:40 mark of this review even I got exited!
I like the tim rogers doom shotgun sound effect
The hit markers sound was just perfection
Loving the Los Campesinos shirt Tom, mad respect
Love the Outrun music in the background!
That tiny snippet of Rapp Snitches. 😂
"it doesn't feel how Formula 1 looks, or texturally is. It feels like what you WANT F1 to feel like. It feels like RACING"
Are we still talking about the board game? Because it sounds like we're talking about IndyCar.
I love Tom. A minute and a half in and I’m more entranced than I could imagine.
I heard that Rapp Snitch Knishes sample at 0:15!
Great review Tom! Loved Flame Rouge but this looks to have a little extra jzuczh(?)
This is absolutely hilarious. Best board game review I've ever seen.
Why did you show me this?! This game has everything I love and now I must have it haha.. Though it’s sold out everywhere..
This should be on my shelf! Flamme Rouge is one of my favourites and this adds a lot.
The video is really enjoyable, but God, I was already looking where to buy this one, now it will be quite challenging 😀
Love the grafix in this video
This is the first time I've ever been so early to a video, can't wait to actually watch it!
@Tom... so how does Heat compare to Cubitos? Your mind literally melted over that racing game!
Great videos both, thanks! Salman
Excellent review. Tom is terrific.
3:51 That Danny DeVito cutout in the corner reminded me of urban legend of "3 men and a baby"
I'm not into racing games, but if I was to buy one... you sold me!
This really does seem like an amazing game :D my grandpa also always loved Formula 1, so it'd be really fun to play this with him :)
0:15 just the opening note to rapp snitch knishes lmfao
Flamme is really popular in our group, so this great to learn about!
Enjoyed playtesting the game with Asger and Daniel. Looks even better than I thought it would!
I remember Asger from his WFB days, ETC tournaments and WD articles. I hope there'll be less racing and more swords and magic in his next game ;)
God damn it, Tom!
I had convinced myself that I didn’t need this game because I love Flamme Rouge so much… but this is clearly a re-skinned Grand Tour version that was promised years ago and I’ll be damned if it’s not everything I need.
Now I’m going to be out £60, which is approximately three times the cost of heating the house for an hour in 2022.
I'm only upset that this is to late for me to ask for it for Christmas 🤣
Same. Way too late guys.
I'm sorry I couldn't keep paying attention to your review when the MEGA MAN music kicked in? Lol. God I love that song.
0:15 some Doom-head snuck half a second of Rapp Snitches in the video, must be the christmas ghost or something
I watched this review before plying Heat and it got me interested. I watched it again after playing Heat and it is spot on. Cheers!
Your grandpa probably watched F1 around the time aerodynamics were starting to get more sophisticated. Older F1 years were more on mechanical grip that aerodynamics and therefore raced much differently.
Had a DM friend in the mid 90's that built an Indy race campaign. We took to calling those sessions "Mushrooms and Motors." Damn I miss those days 🫡
You should look for some Jim Clark races in the 60s. It was this intense.
I'm absolutely loving Heat. Fun in a box.
Can you do a couple's games top 10? I know it would be situational based on the couple, but surely that just means more easy content? :P Board games for co-op couples, board games for competitive couples, card games for couples, quick games for couples, all day games for couples, board games for couples who occasionally have people over, board games for bored couples, board games for couples who ever so slightly hate each other :P
YEA THE LOS CAMPENSINOS T-SHIRT!!!!! Cool board game too
Great review! I regret not grabbing a copy at PAX Unplugged.
Love seeing that Kim portrait behind him.
Was that the music from the video game outrun? nicely added !
Is it better than Flamme Rouge? Is it worth buying if you already have Flamme Rouge? I feel like Tom overlooked a very important comparison here.
Agreed
Best early Xmas present ever
This is one of the best tutorials and reviews I've seen. Fun and synopsized.
The heat and stress systems sound very similar to some of the systems present in Robo Rally (2016)
Is this a game you'd recommend if you enjoy and own Flamme Rouge with a family group (that likes both bikes and racecars!), but has a fairly low complexity threshold (eg the FR expansion is probably a bit too much) and a fairly limited board game bandwidth?
0:14 Rapp Snitch knishes?? and then action button sound???? great review xoxo
cool video, hope you get a chance to try NEON KNIGHTS or even STREET KINGS ;) Also I don't think these cars went fast enough or had enough aero to cause slipstream.
Just noticed the portrait of Kim Kitsuragi on the back. Thumbs up
Thought I was watching a Tim Rogers vid all of a sudden with that Doom shotgun noise 20 seconds in
I'd love to see these guys review the Racing Line Board Game, I just got it and it's brilliant! Would love to hear what you guys think
Great review Tom!
The framed photo of Kim Kitsuragi is nice
i cant remember if the formula D trick works with this where you replace the cars with the mario kart monopoly cars and it turns into mario kart the board game
Bonus points for playing Ken's Theme from Street Fighter II during the review.
This looks amazing! It also costs $170 in my country, sadly.
Is that Dave at the window? 😆
Been trying to get my hand on a copy for months now, they didn't have it at GenCon either 😫 Got Thunder Road instead, which I highly recommend! (the Maximum Chrome version in particular if you can find a copy)
A comparison to Flamme Rouge would have been super helpful here. I already have that and would like to know if its worth £60 to have a car based version - albeit with some extra shinies... It *sounds* like Heat would be the one to pick if you were only going to have one of them?
I was also hoping for this. Bought Flamme based on their glowing review years ago. Space/budget are limited.
This game is absolute banger just watching it!!! Gotta get it somehow
I'm distracted by Danny DeVito watching over his shoulder.
