Fenyx Rising is definitely a good game when it comes to satisfying a BOTW itch. It has over world puzzles, shrines, exploration. The writing is probably the most decisive aspect of the game though, you either enjoy it or find it absolutely cringe inducing and it has such a constant presence in the game that I can see it hampering someones enjoyment. Definitely something that could use a toggle, at least as far as non-cutscene voice overs go. Edit: I played on Switch and don't remember any frustrating series of crashes. So that's an unfortunate downside of the PC port I suppose. I definitely recommend playing on consoles. The game opens up later, with Clashing Rocks serving as the Great Plateau of this game, and the rest of the golden isle being entirely open to explore. The combat is definitely a highlight, though as you progress you will eventually break it and trivialize it. Again, it really is about whether you can get past the writing or not, as that seems to be the game's biggest downside.
It’s unfortunate Immortals crashed so much for you. I played it on PlayStation and LOVED it. The devs worked on Assassins Creed Odyssey and were really inspired by Breath of the Wild when it came out, hence why they made Immortals. It’s especially fun to explore once you get off that tutorial Island.
The creator's of Yonder, that was their first game and they made a second one called Grow: Song of The Evertree that isn't a huge departure from Yonder but it's definitely much more recognizable as it's own game with influence from other series being scarce. It seem with their second game they really pushed the envelope and made something pretty unique and the artstyle only got better and more unique to match it. It's a very pretty game but still isn't really meant for difficulty or combat, laid back games are their forte and I'm all for that personally. I wouldn't call Grow a BoTW Clone by any means BUT, worth a play for sure. Upon further research, it seems that the small Studio is made up of 3 people, each previously working for big studios like Bethesda, Blizzard and SEGA. One had worked on the Batman Arkham Series and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Each also have over 15 year's of experience. Truthfully, considering the size of the studio and scope of the game's they've made so far...i'm actually impressed and it's no wonder the games look so good, their first one might have been a bit of a clone but it was still unique in it's own way. I hope to see them make more game's in the future and think supporting them is honestly a great idea.
I actually 100% yonder, and song of the ever tree has been on my wishlist for ages. Now that i know their both made from the same team, i'll buy it now haha
Both Yonder and Grow: Song of The Evertree are the great games of high quality. I love Yonder so much, that I left the game unfinished, because I don't have the heart to end this beautiful experience. Crazy, I know.
Honestly I'd be surprised if Cloud Catcher Chronicles is even a clone of BotW and/or inspired by it considering it released just 4 months after it, too.
@@komlat253 same here. got the dlc content and have over 300 hours in the game. i had my doubts because of ubisoft and the dialogue but the dialogue becomes fun after the introduction. i also like how the dlc is pretty much a new game
100% agree. It’s a fun game and the puzzles are great. I played this on PC and never had a crash either. The issues look to be system related and not the games fault.
I actually really enjoyed "Immortals: Fenyx Rising". I've always loved mythology, so I loved going around finding all nods to the stories I had read about. The dialogue grows on you and the game play itself becomes quite fun as you progress. And I think the issue with the games crashing is your computer's issue, not the games.
no, it really isn't. I play every game on the highest graphic settings without performance issues and fenyx rising crashed on me so many times. i still played it, still enjoyed it, but it's 100% the games issue
@Rebecca M. On conoles, even the Switch it doesn't crash at all like that. at least in my personal experience. It is just a pretty bad PC port it seems
@@NotTheDragon837 that may be true, i did play on PC and maybe they patched it (can something like that even be patched easily?) It's been a year and a half since i played it
Blue fire is such an amazing game, when I built my pc that was one of the first games I added to my steam library and I loved it, it makes me really happy seeing it show up here, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking into adding more games to their library
Immortal Phoenix Rising is worth it, it is very like breath of the wild and the game is really fun to explore. It gets better as you go. I play it on Xbox Series X and it plays perfectly, ive never had the game crash or performance issues. It also looks beautiful, especially once you get alittle further into the game.
immortals is a good game you gotta play it rather than sit there saying zelda botw clone lol i have the game myself its very good dialogue is fun to listen to its not something like most games where i deliberately turn down the voice volume in sound settings and cringe at all the cutscenes (FORZA, RIDERS REPUBLIC being two big ones)
yeah i feel like he might play it i mean in that runeless all shrines run his horse was named fischl, which i have never seen that name anywhere else so its a joke lol
For a future episode of this series, I'm curious of what your take would be on the game Baldo, the Zelda-like game that has art similar to a Ghibli animation.
To me the dialogue sounds like the intro you get an amusement park ride when you're waiting in line. Like cheesy and a bit patronizing. I can see how that could be used for humor though.
I played Craftopia when it was on Game Pass and it was so much fun. Like, ridiculous physics chaos fun. Also, the game mechanics are really complex and the possibilities are almost infinite if you take time to master it.
It's a great game! I've had it for a couple years now, though the story doesn't take too long to beat I love how much thought went into the diff environments, seasons, NPCs and quests. Its controls are pretty fun, I sometimes go back to it just to go and build things, having to explore and gather materials and pet animals without having to worry about hostile enemies is comforting
I just finished Windbound, and I actually enjoyed it a lot. It is a low story, exploration focussed game, but I found it relaxing. The knife is practically useless to fight with, but some sticks and made spears, and eventually bows. And when you make a sail you can move way faster on the ocean.
You got lots of patience. I dislike tedious repetition after death. I mean, it's okay for dungeon crawler type game. But an exploration/survival type? lol Imagine if skyrim did that. "You're finally awake" for the 73rd time.
I liked it somewhat, but I just couldn’t deal with the way I had a shortage of basic materials later in the game when I had to toss said material in the first islands/worlds. I also really couldn’t deal with the stupid purple fog poison islands. The game is sort of chill, but suddenly you’re faced with areas that just made me stressed haha. The way you always have to keep on moving is frustrating to me. I’d rather want to build more of a base. And why can’t you sleep? The health and food bar aren’t good enough either. Why isn’t there a separate health potion or smt? So many small things that made me give it up at the fourth “world”.
@@amandaa8472I couldn't feed her fast enough to do anything but keep trying to feed her (and failing). That in itself made the game so difficult that I had to turn on a cheat system where I could have no drop in hunger. I also used unlimited storage (caused slight glitches) because the amount of space needed compared to amount available was forcing you to basically drop numerous necessary items. I also used something to make my weapons not break faster than I could get more. I've heard these things are a bit typical of survival games, so perhaps the real thing is I apparently dislike survival games. But things like BotW and its Eventide Island quest was fantastic.
I adore Iron Pineapple’s videos, and I adore BotW, so this video was right up my alley and I enjoyed the heck out of it! You made me laugh real hard on multiple occasions. Ocean bound 2 looks pretty cool and seeing that kinda made me wanna play it. I thought when you got to the main island it was giving MAD Skyloft vibes lol. Loved this video, and would love to see more!
I can't belive immortal fenyx rising crashed on you that much, I play it on Nintendo switch and its never crashed for me and it's one of my favorite games. The dialogue, while constant I personally found hilarious how the characters would play off eachother and I went out of my way to talk to everyone i loved the dialogue that much
I'm genuinely interested in eventually playing the Oceanhorn games. They're very Zelda-inspired, but that's not a bad thing. More Zelda-like stuff is cool imo. :) (I have the same opinion with Pokémon-inspired Monster Tamers like Coromon)
fyi, fenyx rising has no issues with crashing on the switch. my take on the game is: it's huge, you have to get used to the dialogue cuz it literally never stops, the battle tech is the best part of the game (and visuals, it's very pretty), and it has a pretty good final boss fight, but it lacks variation. everything is built on a few key building blocks and they just repeat those building blocks everywhere, on a massive scale. overall I enjoyed playing it to the end, but doubt I'll go back and do it over again, it's just too repetitive.
btw the IFR crashes mainly started since they released it on steam, i have no idea what went wrong, but even so i have it on Ubisoft, since the steam release i get crashes, it never (or like once per 30 hours playtime) crashed before.
I played windbound because it really did remind me of breath of the wild from the previews. What I found was a game where you're supposed to accomplish some stuff while exploring but your hunger dropped faster than you could replenish it. It was a never-ending struggle to survive, much less accomplish anything else.
I'm curious what you'd think of The Pathless (2020), which I loved. It's a (small) open world, your only weapon is a bow, upgrades and puzzles are scattered around ruins, you have a spirit eagle companion, and each area is gated by a boss fight, so you could easily argue it's a subset of certain Zeldas.
U can get like 1000+ hours out of craftopia. The things you can craft later, like breed machines that shoot the cows automatically into the cooking pot, transporting it afterwards to the chest. Automatic miners that transport the minerals to machine crafters and so on, its really awesome.
41:00 I’d put money on it that the devs made Fenyx’s voice actor listen to Kratos’ barks from GoW4 during combat combos & told her to mimic them exactly.
-plays a survival crafting/sailing game -doesn't even bother to craft a basic stick spear or sail -wonders why he can't kill an animal eight times his size and why his grass rowboat is slow -runs around doing nothing but getting into obviously one sided fights and breaks the game on purpose "If you're into this sort of thing you could somehow MAYBE bring yourself to like it." This would be like if I quit BOTW the first time moblins vibe checked me or the cold killed me. Like dude, did you even pick up a stick?
I've actually played Blue Fire and Immortals to 100% completion. The former on Switch and the latter on PS4. Played them early last year I believe. Blue Fire was a lot of fun, but some of the void levels get to be pretty tough. The increased movement options make it a great time though. Just have to remember to not get greedy with it. Or at least be careful when you do. As for Immortals? It goes on a bit long if you do platinum like I did, but even just doing most things is a good time. And the running commentary reminds me of Portal on some level. The comments are pretty common at first, but you get further in its mostly just when you do quests. Either way I do enjoy it.
I put in around 100 hours to Fenyx Immortal Rising on PS4 Pro and maybe ten on Switch through my online save. I think it crashed a couple of times on Switch but never on PS4 in the whole game. Oceanhorn 2 on mobile actually is great. It’s higher resolution and 60fps on iPhone 12, and even better on Mac
Windbound reminded me of Worlds Adrift, and I am always looking for similar games. But yeah it's pretty fun imo. Get used to the combat and min max food production lol
oh my god, that Immortals game is more WW-like. when you climb a lookout tower, a giant bird kidnaps someone, and then you have to visit a fortress on an island of jagged rocks to save them lmao
0:54 Blue Fire is an amazing platformer that took more inspiration from older Zelda games than it did BotW. It quickly became one of my favorite platformers, especially from a smaller studio.
I haven't turned on windbound, but i bought it when it was like 80% off on switch so I bought it for like a couple bucks. But after hearing a lot of online complaints of the slow pace, and how things feel arbitrary for no reason. So, I have never got to it. I'm not even sure if there really is a plot.
There is a little plot but it mostly is through murals and cryptic messages but not bad for the reduced price but I don't think it is worth full price it feels more like that game raft then it is a botw clone
I Watched 10 Iron Pineapple-Like Channels, You've Never Heard Of! Jokes aside, I love this format and it was a nice treat to see it in the Zelda community. You earned a sub!
I thought this was gonna be a list with small indie games but then suddenly Immortals Fenyx Rising showed up as well, did not expect that at all lol. I mean I definitely see why it’s in a video about BotW style games but because of the ‘…you never heared of’ part I thought it would only be quite unknown games
dark souls is so great that became its own genre called 'souls like', just like metroid & castlevania become a genre called 'metroidvania'. but zelda botw didn't have their own genre, so.. its just a normal open world survival rpg game
Fun vid! I’ve watched Iron Pineapple’s originals, but since I’ve never played a souls-like, the game-play is mostly impenetrable to me. It’s just fun to hear him laughing. But Zelda I understand a little better, and BoTW I understand extremely well, so I can appreciate this vid a lot and really enjoyed it. I hope you do more!
Immortals is very fun. The combat is really fun and I like the breath of the wild insperation. It does it well, because although the gameplay is very similar, I never thought of it as a Zelda clone. I never minded the narrators. The puzzles can sometimes be pretty hard and there is one boss that is real hard, though I think it is not required
Blue fire was one of my favorite platforms to play. Some of the void levels were a PAIN in the ass to do, especially for the extra Lore portion (for those who know, you know) but really fun to explore and play. I also loved the little Emote as they also helped unlock certain puzzles or extra goodies (plus they were fun to use) and the many different spirit options to help you level up or get through certain bosses. I give it a 8.5/10, would recommend anyone to play :)
If i remember correctly immortals fenix rising is based on the same engine as either ac odyssey or ac valhalla. Its almost like something between the newer ac games and botw, its a pretty decent game tbf
Windbound is a decent game. Slow pace survival game where you have to manage resources while bouncing from island to island. I definitely felt a sense of exploration playing it.
Windbound was a lot of fun when I played it, but I played it in the mindset of another (now defunct) game called worlds adrift which was built around creating airships to go between sky islands.
I love Fenyx! It’s a really good game! The reason you are having issues is because you are on steam, in my switch and on Xbox I had no issues, and honestly I love the talking between Zeus and Prometheus!
im so surprised about all of the love for yonder! i think it's adorable and cozy, but i found the controls awful, the world empty, and it felt poorly optimized. maybe ill try it again at some point though
Immortal Fenyx Rising was made by Ubisoft Quebec Studios and yeah I agree with your opinion that the dialogue is bad but in Quebec it’s actually very good yeah it’s better in french I don’t know why they did that choice but the voice of the characters in french doesn’t have a greek accent so maybe that’s why it’s kinda not fun and yeah that’s kinda bad that you got a lot of crashed in the beginning but maybe the problem is the game cannot keep up with your recording software
the game is called windbound, and you did not try to create a windsail for the boat, thats why it was slow. this game is cool i play it on ps4 some times.
I picked up Immortals Fenyx Rising for Switch a few years ago, probably on a sale, and never touched it because I loved BotW and everyone was saying that it was basically a clone. But one of my favorite things about BotW was exploring for various ingredients to completely break the early game with the cooking system, but I heard that game basically simplified it to 2 resources, one for health and one for magic or stamina or something so it has been in my backlog ever since as BotW without stuffing my pockets with hundreds of plants, bugs, and monster parts to make food and brews to take on different challenges before having the recommended equipment, while also balancing selling extras and using them to upgrade my gear (gathering parts for some of the later stages almost felt questlike, hunting down powerful foes for enough parts. The barbarian gear is powerful but requires you to hunt down Lynels to prove your worth. Getting the cores to fully upgrade the ancient armor can be a grind though, especially if you have the amiibo helms, or maybe there were more in the shrines I missed as that's where I found most of the ones I did have. I get that it is the super OP endgame gear but I didn't feel the need to fully upgrade all of the helms since it took me a couple of hours of guardian hunting to get one giant ancient core, which if I recall are a rare drop from the super beefy and resource consuming flying guardians, and possibly the major test of strength ones. Either way, getting the chest to level 4 and the boots to level 3 or 4, paired with the helmets at level 2 to get the set bonus and their respective buffs gave me more than enough armor to reduce most damage that wasn't a guardian or lynel attack to a quarter heart, but a fully upgraded set may be more necessary in Master Mode when I get to it.) Tangent aside, I like the Greek references in the gameplay you showed. Starting out on the clashing rocks was nice since I remember doing a presentation complete with the handmade model on the scene from the odyssey where they had to sail through them in fourth grade. I also kind of like the cheesy narration. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and I like bad jokes, and it didn't seem to go full on into "lol random let's point out every video game trope as they happen" like so many games nowadays. This has convinced me to give the game a chance when I can. Some of the other games looked neat too, but I'm a sucker for resource gathering and crafting to become more capable and reach new places. Having a game like that which borrows more from something like Zelda or an action game rather than Minecraft seems like a potentially fun combination for me.
Should play tunic! Absolutely found a modern way of incorporating that adventure and mystery feel from older Zelda games. Need to go into it as blind as possible though, but it’s honestly one of the best indie games I’ve ever played, maybe even the best. And it’s not talked about nearly enough
Other Zelda Like Games for you: Pine - classical 3D Zelda Game, had a lot of fun with it A Knight's Quest - 3D Zelda Game with plattforming and sone other cool ideas, downside: just in Epic Store at the moment Tunic - old Zelda Style, really a great game
around 23 minutes, during Blue Fire, that subterranean level is literally a direct map for map copy of one of the sewer locations in Zelda: Twilight Princess!!!!
Fenyx Rising is actually a GREAT game once you get past the tutorials. Even though it is very similar to botw, I think it it makes for an amazing game. It has cool boss fights, an amazing open world, and has a pretty cool story. You just have to get far enough.
37:07 "So this is like a tower", you do know Nintendo's towers were not an original mechanic, right? For me, Ubisoft pioneered that mechanic In the Assassin's Creed and FarCry series, long before Breath of the Wild was released, climb a large structure and reveal a region of map. Whether Ubisoft borrowed that mechanic from another game, I cannot say, just where I first experienced it.
I played Craftopia during the beta and the different environments and the sheer amount of stuff you can craft, build or collect is awesome. Sadly it lacks any noticable storyline or end goal, so if you play alone, it gets very repetitive and boring after a while. It does however shine in multiplayer mode - not because of any brilliant features, but because of the countless hilarious bugs and exploits you can find. From cheesing your way through boss fights (like fleeing from a dragon fight in a hot air balloon) to a "breeding" machine for livestock that also works on NPCs (you read that right XD) there's not much you couldn't do.
Oceanhorn 2 Is a game Ive been wanting to play for a while. I 100%'d the first game on the switch, just never got around to playing the 2nd and Im just waiting for it to come out this year on PC.
Fenyx rising on the switch does crash on me from time to time. But the game auto saves often so I have yet to get mad from a game crash. Some of these other games look like they are worth a try. Thank for the video, you got a new subscriber.

The conversations between Zeus and the other god are funny. Sometimes. Not really that annoying. And i never had a crash on Xbox.
I'ma be honest, I like the dialog in Fenyx. It's just the type of humor I enjoy and the voices don't bother me either

Its controls are pretty fun, I sometimes go back to it just to go and build things, having to explore and gather materials and pet animals without having to worry about hostile enemies is comforting
@@Hidden_Fern might give it a try. Something that baffles me tho, there are really no enemies at all? Not even in the way stardew valley had em? :D
Anyone played Turnip boy commits tax evasion? there is a reference to Blue Fire in that game
@@tobi_play3802 never played it but seems fun
That's what it's all about with most 'Tubers' these days. And most Journos. Money. The opinions, Subs and takes are just stepping stones.
Ironically Oceanhorn 1 got me into the zelda series years ago.
A game like yonder that’s purely exploration and no enemies is Sable, very good game. Amazing soundtrack and environments.
I just finished Windbound, and I actually enjoyed it a lot. It is a low story, exploration focussed game, but I found it relaxing. The knife is practically useless to fight with, but some sticks and made spears, and eventually bows. And when you make a sail you can move way faster on the ocean.
You got lots of patience. I dislike tedious repetition after death. I mean, it's okay for dungeon crawler type game. But an exploration/survival type? lol Imagine if skyrim did that. "You're finally awake" for the 73rd time.
I liked it somewhat, but I just couldn’t deal with the way I had a shortage of basic materials later in the game when I had to toss said material in the first islands/worlds. I also really couldn’t deal with the stupid purple fog poison islands. The game is sort of chill, but suddenly you’re faced with areas that just made me stressed haha. The way you always have to keep on moving is frustrating to me. I’d rather want to build more of a base. And why can’t you sleep? The health and food bar aren’t good enough either. Why isn’t there a separate health potion or smt? So many small things that made me give it up at the fourth “world”.
@@yt-dm8ns I played on Adventure mode, so if I died I just had to repeat the chapter. I would not have had the patience to repeat everything. 😅
@@amandaa8472I couldn't feed her fast enough to do anything but keep trying to feed her (and failing). That in itself made the game so difficult that I had to turn on a cheat system where I could have no drop in hunger. I also used unlimited storage (caused slight glitches) because the amount of space needed compared to amount available was forcing you to basically drop numerous necessary items. I also used something to make my weapons not break faster than I could get more. I've heard these things are a bit typical of survival games, so perhaps the real thing is I apparently dislike survival games. But things like BotW and its Eventide Island quest was fantastic.
I adore Iron Pineapple’s videos, and I adore BotW, so this video was right up my alley and I enjoyed the heck out of it! You made me laugh real hard on multiple occasions. Ocean bound 2 looks pretty cool and seeing that kinda made me wanna play it. I thought when you got to the main island it was giving MAD Skyloft vibes lol. Loved this video, and would love to see more!
Bike of the Wild is my new favorite Game. Fantastic Video as always.
Yonder is such an underrated indi game. It’s so absolutely adorable and the story just hits my heart
I can't belive immortal fenyx rising crashed on you that much, I play it on Nintendo switch and its never crashed for me and it's one of my favorite games. The dialogue, while constant I personally found hilarious how the characters would play off eachother and I went out of my way to talk to everyone i loved the dialogue that much
100% agreed, really great game. the dialogue, mythology and story in particular really hooked me
I'm genuinely interested in eventually playing the Oceanhorn games. They're very Zelda-inspired, but that's not a bad thing. More Zelda-like stuff is cool imo. :)
(I have the same opinion with Pokémon-inspired Monster Tamers like Coromon)
If played oceanhorn 1 on my phone and I think it is windwaker for mobile devices
fyi, fenyx rising has no issues with crashing on the switch. my take on the game is: it's huge, you have to get used to the dialogue cuz it literally never stops, the battle tech is the best part of the game (and visuals, it's very pretty), and it has a pretty good final boss fight, but it lacks variation. everything is built on a few key building blocks and they just repeat those building blocks everywhere, on a massive scale. overall I enjoyed playing it to the end, but doubt I'll go back and do it over again, it's just too repetitive.
btw the IFR crashes mainly started since they released it on steam, i have no idea what went wrong, but even so i have it on Ubisoft, since the steam release i get crashes, it never (or like once per 30 hours playtime) crashed before.
I played windbound because it really did remind me of breath of the wild from the previews. What I found was a game where you're supposed to accomplish some stuff while exploring but your hunger dropped faster than you could replenish it. It was a never-ending struggle to survive, much less accomplish anything else.
I'm curious what you'd think of The Pathless (2020), which I loved. It's a (small) open world, your only weapon is a bow, upgrades and puzzles are scattered around ruins, you have a spirit eagle companion, and each area is gated by a boss fight, so you could easily argue it's a subset of certain Zeldas.
I recommend the game Sable. It has a lot of Breath of the Wild mechanics as well.
Yeah it's really good
Him trying to talk and being interrupted by the dialogue killed me 38:15 🤣🤣🤣
This video is not only really funny, but I actually might check out one of the games!
U can get like 1000+ hours out of craftopia.
The things you can craft later, like breed machines that shoot the cows automatically into the cooking pot, transporting it afterwards to the chest.
Automatic miners that transport the minerals to machine crafters and so on, its really awesome.
41:00 I’d put money on it that the devs made Fenyx’s voice actor listen to Kratos’ barks from GoW4 during combat combos & told her to mimic them exactly.
-plays a survival crafting/sailing game
-doesn't even bother to craft a basic stick spear or sail
-wonders why he can't kill an animal eight times his size and why his grass rowboat is slow
-runs around doing nothing but getting into obviously one sided fights and breaks the game on purpose
"If you're into this sort of thing you could somehow MAYBE bring yourself to like it."
This would be like if I quit BOTW the first time moblins vibe checked me or the cold killed me. Like dude, did you even pick up a stick?
I've been crying laughing at Bike of the Wild. Especially "look at that killer angle!!"
I've actually played Blue Fire and Immortals to 100% completion. The former on Switch and the latter on PS4. Played them early last year I believe. Blue Fire was a lot of fun, but some of the void levels get to be pretty tough. The increased movement options make it a great time though. Just have to remember to not get greedy with it. Or at least be careful when you do.
As for Immortals? It goes on a bit long if you do platinum like I did, but even just doing most things is a good time. And the running commentary reminds me of Portal on some level. The comments are pretty common at first, but you get further in its mostly just when you do quests. Either way I do enjoy it.
I love Iron Pineapple's videos so this was a treat to see today. I'd love to see more of these videos from you!
11:09 That made me laugh so much!
"Eh wait, are we exploding?
Every game I'm playing we're exploding!
What is going on?"
“The grass is green, this reminds me of Breath of the Wild” this guy
I put in around 100 hours to Fenyx Immortal Rising on PS4 Pro and maybe ten on Switch through my online save. I think it crashed a couple of times on Switch but never on PS4 in the whole game.
Oceanhorn 2 on mobile actually is great. It’s higher resolution and 60fps on iPhone 12, and even better on Mac
Funny coming back to this and seeing Craftopia’s developers put out a Pokémon-inspired survival game and being met with the same response.
I tried that yesterday and i think its quite a bit better but I still agree its mostly the same response
@@Limcube You're still replying to comments after months 🤯
Windbound reminded me of Worlds Adrift, and I am always looking for similar games. But yeah it's pretty fun imo. Get used to the combat and min max food production lol
oh my god, that Immortals game is more WW-like. when you climb a lookout tower, a giant bird kidnaps someone, and then you have to visit a fortress on an island of jagged rocks to save them lmao
Great video! I'd be interested in more if you make it a series
43:37 that definitely is Kevan Brighting, voice if the narrator in the Stanley parable. God i love that voice!
Fenix was a really great game me and my son played it through 2 times.
“Lumie?? That looks like ghimigoul from the hit game Pokémon Scarlet And Violet 😲😲” hahaha love the enthusiasm 😂😂😂
0:54 Blue Fire is an amazing platformer that took more inspiration from older Zelda games than it did BotW. It quickly became one of my favorite platformers, especially from a smaller studio.
Yonder is a stretch, it definitely feels like it's own unique game, with SOME features from BotW
I haven't turned on windbound, but i bought it when it was like 80% off on switch so I bought it for like a couple bucks. But after hearing a lot of online complaints of the slow pace, and how things feel arbitrary for no reason. So, I have never got to it. I'm not even sure if there really is a plot.
There is a little plot but it mostly is through murals and cryptic messages but not bad for the reduced price but I don't think it is worth full price it feels more like that game raft then it is a botw clone
I Watched 10 Iron Pineapple-Like Channels, You've Never Heard Of!
Jokes aside, I love this format and it was a nice treat to see it in the Zelda community. You earned a sub!
'Since i had to buy all these games myself, i am **very** happy about todays sponser'
Yuuuuuuuuuuup. That fat cash probably helps a ton.
Windbound promised so much but, yep I'm with you, it became a tedious experience pretty much 10 minutes in 🤦♂ shame really!
I thought this was gonna be a list with small indie games but then suddenly Immortals Fenyx Rising showed up as well, did not expect that at all lol. I mean I definitely see why it’s in a video about BotW style games but because of the ‘…you never heared of’ part I thought it would only be quite unknown games
Blue Fire is such a cute game, I loved it when I played it, I'm so glad to see it featured somewhere!!
dark souls is so great that became its own genre called 'souls like', just like metroid & castlevania become a genre called 'metroidvania'. but zelda botw didn't have their own genre, so.. its just a normal open world survival rpg game
Bike of the wild should've been game of the year instead of elden ring. It's clearly the game to play.
i came to this video expecting to see someone saying genshin is a botw clone, but i get to hear the music instead. i see what you did there!
Fun vid! I’ve watched Iron Pineapple’s originals, but since I’ve never played a souls-like, the game-play is mostly impenetrable to me. It’s just fun to hear him laughing. But Zelda I understand a little better, and BoTW I understand extremely well, so I can appreciate this vid a lot and really enjoyed it. I hope you do more!
Immortals is very fun. The combat is really fun and I like the breath of the wild insperation. It does it well, because although the gameplay is very similar, I never thought of it as a Zelda clone. I never minded the narrators. The puzzles can sometimes be pretty hard and there is one boss that is real hard, though I think it is not required
Blue fire was one of my favorite platforms to play. Some of the void levels were a PAIN in the ass to do, especially for the extra Lore portion (for those who know, you know) but really fun to explore and play. I also loved the little Emote as they also helped unlock certain puzzles or extra goodies (plus they were fun to use) and the many different spirit options to help you level up or get through certain bosses. I give it a 8.5/10, would recommend anyone to play :)
If i remember correctly immortals fenix rising is based on the same engine as either ac odyssey or ac valhalla. Its almost like something between the newer ac games and botw, its a pretty decent game tbf
have you hear of "A Knight's Quest"? is zelda inspired, on PC is only on Epic store
I found Immortals Fenyx Rising to be very enjoyable, but I also didn't have your issue with crashing nor did I find the dialogue that unbearable.
Windbound is a decent game. Slow pace survival game where you have to manage resources while bouncing from island to island. I definitely felt a sense of exploration playing it.
Windbound was a lot of fun when I played it, but I played it in the mindset of another (now defunct) game called worlds adrift which was built around creating airships to go between sky islands.
i adore yonder, i’ve replayed it SO many times.
Blue Fire is a gem, I loved every minute that I played it.
And it have a free to play community level creator game called Blue Fire Void Maker
Yonder is genuinely amazing, I think! I love it! Such a fun, soft little game!
I love Fenyx! It’s a really good game! The reason you are having issues is because you are on steam, in my switch and on Xbox I had no issues, and honestly I love the talking between Zeus and Prometheus!
I have Fenyx for Switch, and it never crashed.
It was a lot of fun, and it's in my Switch's top 10 games by play time.
That "from developer from software" almost takes off to the moon! LOL
Blue fire is a love letter to the zelda series. And a fun game as well
That paraglider in the first game is just ridiculous!
im so surprised about all of the love for yonder! i think it's adorable and cozy, but i found the controls awful, the world empty, and it felt poorly optimized. maybe ill try it again at some point though
Immortal Fenyx Rising was made by Ubisoft Quebec Studios and yeah I agree with your opinion that the dialogue is bad but in Quebec it’s actually very good yeah it’s better in french I don’t know why they did that choice but the voice of the characters in french doesn’t have a greek accent so maybe that’s why it’s kinda not fun and yeah that’s kinda bad that you got a lot of crashed in the beginning but maybe the problem is the game cannot keep up with your recording software
the game is called windbound, and you did not try to create a windsail for the boat, thats why it was slow. this game is cool i play it on ps4 some times.
Ironically, Cloud Catcher got me to play BotW, so I'm glad it exists just for that
I picked up Immortals Fenyx Rising for Switch a few years ago, probably on a sale, and never touched it because I loved BotW and everyone was saying that it was basically a clone. But one of my favorite things about BotW was exploring for various ingredients to completely break the early game with the cooking system, but I heard that game basically simplified it to 2 resources, one for health and one for magic or stamina or something so it has been in my backlog ever since as BotW without stuffing my pockets with hundreds of plants, bugs, and monster parts to make food and brews to take on different challenges before having the recommended equipment, while also balancing selling extras and using them to upgrade my gear (gathering parts for some of the later stages almost felt questlike, hunting down powerful foes for enough parts. The barbarian gear is powerful but requires you to hunt down Lynels to prove your worth. Getting the cores to fully upgrade the ancient armor can be a grind though, especially if you have the amiibo helms, or maybe there were more in the shrines I missed as that's where I found most of the ones I did have. I get that it is the super OP endgame gear but I didn't feel the need to fully upgrade all of the helms since it took me a couple of hours of guardian hunting to get one giant ancient core, which if I recall are a rare drop from the super beefy and resource consuming flying guardians, and possibly the major test of strength ones. Either way, getting the chest to level 4 and the boots to level 3 or 4, paired with the helmets at level 2 to get the set bonus and their respective buffs gave me more than enough armor to reduce most damage that wasn't a guardian or lynel attack to a quarter heart, but a fully upgraded set may be more necessary in Master Mode when I get to it.)
Tangent aside, I like the Greek references in the gameplay you showed. Starting out on the clashing rocks was nice since I remember doing a presentation complete with the handmade model on the scene from the odyssey where they had to sail through them in fourth grade. I also kind of like the cheesy narration. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and I like bad jokes, and it didn't seem to go full on into "lol random let's point out every video game trope as they happen" like so many games nowadays. This has convinced me to give the game a chance when I can.
Some of the other games looked neat too, but I'm a sucker for resource gathering and crafting to become more capable and reach new places. Having a game like that which borrows more from something like Zelda or an action game rather than Minecraft seems like a potentially fun combination for me.
It was mostly a joke but I think the shortcuts in the souls games are a pretty known element
Should play tunic! Absolutely found a modern way of incorporating that adventure and mystery feel from older Zelda games. Need to go into it as blind as possible though, but it’s honestly one of the best indie games I’ve ever played, maybe even the best. And it’s not talked about nearly enough
Other Zelda Like Games for you:
Pine - classical 3D Zelda Game, had a lot of fun with it
A Knight's Quest - 3D Zelda Game with plattforming and sone other cool ideas, downside: just in Epic Store at the moment
Tunic - old Zelda Style, really a great game
around 23 minutes, during Blue Fire, that subterranean level is literally a direct map for map copy of one of the sewer locations in Zelda: Twilight Princess!!!!
i got craftopia 2 years ago, its quite complex but cool. please come back to it once the seemless map update comes out!
5:43 “my dopamine is rising” lmao
Fenyx Rising is actually a GREAT game once you get past the tutorials. Even though it is very similar to botw, I think it it makes for an amazing game. It has cool boss fights, an amazing open world, and has a pretty cool story. You just have to get far enough.
LIM MADE IRON PINEAPPLE VIDEO LES GOOO
37:07 "So this is like a tower", you do know Nintendo's towers were not an original mechanic, right? For me, Ubisoft pioneered that mechanic In the Assassin's Creed and FarCry series, long before Breath of the Wild was released, climb a large structure and reveal a region of map. Whether Ubisoft borrowed that mechanic from another game, I cannot say, just where I first experienced it.
I played Craftopia during the beta and the different environments and the sheer amount of stuff you can craft, build or collect is awesome. Sadly it lacks any noticable storyline or end goal, so if you play alone, it gets very repetitive and boring after a while. It does however shine in multiplayer mode - not because of any brilliant features, but because of the countless hilarious bugs and exploits you can find.
From cheesing your way through boss fights (like fleeing from a dragon fight in a hot air balloon) to a "breeding" machine for livestock that also works on NPCs (you read that right XD) there's not much you couldn't do.
Oceanhorn 2 Is a game Ive been wanting to play for a while. I 100%'d the first game on the switch, just never got around to playing the 2nd and Im just waiting for it to come out this year on PC.
Fenyx rising on the switch does crash on me from time to time. But the game auto saves often so I have yet to get mad from a game crash. Some of these other games look like they are worth a try. Thank for the video, you got a new subscriber.
man I wish I could play Yonder for the first time again, just like botw :(
oh no Raid got to Lim too 😁
