2:05 The yellow circle thing shows a detail during the mech fighting part of the game that shows when MO is about to get into a frenezy attack mode that happens if you keep hitting targets. It is displayed when the circle turns from yellow to brown. It shows at 3:00.
Thanks for the information, I honestly had no idea haha. Still pretty pointless though don't you think? considering at 3:00 your only actually in that mech for less than 10 minutes of the entire game xD
This review was great! You talked about things I didn't expect like the lighting and character animations and I appreciate that. I'm going to buy the game based on your review and I hope you do end up getting successful!
You know it's comments like this that make what I do all that more worthwhile, thanks for the brilliant feedback! Expect plenty more reviews to come ;)
Thanks for the review! I found this video because there don't seem any other video reviews on youtube, and your review is way better than your subscriber and view count would suggest. Keep it up!
Slight spoilers when I say this, but I think the whole idea of the major lore being scattered about and not thrust into your face is actually smart, given that the voice is trying to retrieve her lost memories, and MO is picking them up. We are looking for them, and by the end we understand their past to try and help them. It's my interpretation, but it makes a lot of sense, and I love it for that. made finding them more interesting
Your channel deserves more attention! I've had my eye on this game for awhile but this really helped me decide on whether or not to get it ^__^ *spoiler alert, I bought it lol*
I've been wondering where us Welsh reviewers are - I've finally found one and a damn good one at that, I can see by your referencing of other titles in the genre you have a wide range of experience. I'll be sure to check out more. Da iawn!
Your accent is fucking brilliant! Kinda funny how this is the first time I’ve heard about this game and its from a channel I haven’t seen before. Keep up the good work!
I am really surprised that your channel doesn't sport a bigger audience and subscribers count. The review is thorough, entertaining and informative. It's much better than most other, even well established channels. I sincerely wish you a rapid exponential growth that such great content deserve! EDIT: One minor suggestion I have after watching your other reviews - as a non-native English speaker (albeit with a C2 proficiency level) I occasionally find some small fragments/phrases somewhat difficult to catch the first time I hear them (an example would be here: ua-cam.com/video/b4ZGXwCnL7s/v-deo.html). A bit of thought given to the clarity in such cases would go a long way especially for people like me, with English as a second language :)
Haha that's VERY kind of you to say so, you're a sweetheart 😂 give it a few years, who knows where we'll be! You are right, when I speak I try to remove my accent as much as possible, but during certain phrases I do sometimes speak too fast and unclear 😂 it's something I need to keep on my mind and will get better with time don't worry 😉
A very nice review but i disagree with one point: i think the ui is actually brilliant. It might look like most of it is unneeded but in my experience it just helps to highlight your hp even in situation you are focused on the action. Of course that is my personal opinion but i think that some people might have had trouble without. Additionally the ui is so minimal that it doesnt matter or annoys you. Oh and i likedthe story actually a lot, but i can see why it wasnt your fav. Nice video, keep it up!
Zealwood thanks for the reply. i mean can the player backtrack like in a metroid vania, or through level select? so that we could collect the things we might miss
@@ZealwoodGaming Rain World developer was very open about his development process. There is an amazing forum thread that was detailing early development with a lot of info about his level creation process. Maybe MO devs were inspired by it? I really want to try out MO:Astray now :-D
I wanted to love this game, but I couldn't get the stupid slingshot mechanics to work for me and requested a Steam refund over it. Looks beautiful, the story bits I saw were amazing, but the slingshots just broke me.
Thanks man, haha if I did that for every game I reviewed it would take a considerably long time, also if I did it for one game technically I'd have to do it for all of them, even the bad ones which is definitely not appealing 😂 reviews typically cover the core game and main story, if however I particularly enjoy it I will do additional things but of course this wouldn't be on every video since it is optional content, fortunately though I'm usually quite thorough in my videos and often mention it anyway
A 4~ second clip is debatable, technically a spoiler is everything out of trailer footage anyway, you'd only notice it if you already knew what the last boss was
This game needs more attention ;(
Definitely 😉
The yellow symbol also resembles your progress towards using a ability on the mech thing
Dude this review was so much better than I expected, hope your channel blows up more bro
Thanks man! Your most kind, glad you enjoyed it ;)

@@ZealwoodGaming The symbol acts more like a motto rather than a status signal. So it is just aesthetic.

True, it's definitely unique, I also like how it presents the lore in bite size chunks rather than reams of text or dialog!

Haha, happy to help, that's what I'm here for 😎 and thank you! 😁
Rayark announced that MO astray will have new modes, difficulties and will be available on the Nintendo Switch soon
What ? What ?! WHAT ?! Where did they announce that ?! That's sooo great if it's true, most obvious double-dip I've ever made for a video game !
Here are the new modes

Here before 1m you have potential bro
I admire your faith, you never know as they say 😂
@@ZealwoodGaming The youtube algorithm works in mysterious ways, you never know.
@@enthymeme4856 Haha! May the algorithm god serve me 😂😂
Thanks for the review. I decided to buy the game and give it a go!
My pleasure, that's what the channels all about! 😁
No tileset? They just did a bunch of smart flipping and turning!

Thanks man ;) Yeah that's fair enough, different strokes for different folks as they say haha
can you backtrack to collect the orbs you have missed to get the true ending?
It's all good, I watched it online after making the review, if anything it raised even more questions for me 😂
Zealwood thanks for the reply. i mean can the player backtrack like in a metroid vania, or through level select? so that we could collect the things we might miss
Aaahh I got you haha, through level select yeah, I'm not sure if it gives you hints as to which stages have uncollected orbs though
I really liked the art of Blasphemous, but the actual combat was kinda stale for me. Hopefully this will cure my depression.
It wouldn't surprise me, this game was great ;)
Thanks for the review.
No problem at all, that's why I'm here ;)
This game looks very similar to Rain World. I'm wondering did the same guy work on it.
Jeez, you weren't joking! Looks like some sort of strange sequel at a glance xD

@@pingwingugu5 Aah I see, quite interesting! Haha you should, it got a pretty good rating from me to be fair ;)
Great review - very thorough

great vid. just a thought maybe you should read all the text in the game just for the completeness of review even if you as personal gamer don't care.

@@ZealwoodGaming yeah i noticed you were thorough. ok
Am I wrong, or did you just spoiler the final boss in your review?
A 4~ second clip is debatable, technically a spoiler is everything out of trailer footage anyway, you'd only notice it if you already knew what the last boss was
@@ZealwoodGaming So this would be your long version of the "yes" answer. :)
@@TheShinX Pretty much 😂 Not worth the aggro to ever do it again, take my word for it hahahaa
easy changes level design...i think
I like this game)
the oridinal blob game was gish
First! :P

Nope!
well this is an awful review
