  • Some recent games have gotten their hooks in me. Minecraft Legends (PC, Xbox Series X/S/One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch) is an unconventional third person strategy game and Dredge (PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S/One, Switch) is a really fun one that is a bit harder to explain. Let's dive in.

    I’ve been anticipating Minecraft Legends for a while and have been surprised to not see many people excited for it. I know strategy can be a bit more niche but I thought it looked like a pretty inventive approach to a tactical game and the Minecraft aesthetic looks great for it!

      What marketing has there been?... I think they've been too quiet on it, weirdly. - But I think this is one of those games that will find an audience. I mean, there's the massive IP, and the massive companies behind it, and of course it will be on Game Pass or whatever. - But as someone who likes the main game, I think they're doing well by it by making these different spin-offs that aren't just garbage mobile games or something.

      Not surprised at all, people have been longing for those defining AAA exclusive titles since this generation of consoles. I was sold on the "most powerful console" and got it at launch, and a Ps5 too, only on Xbox what I got were games that look as if they're designed for the Gameboy colour.

  • @Apethantos
    @Apethantos Год назад +32

    I would say Dredge is a hidden gem, but somehow it seems it's been getting some (a lot of) traction since it released, which is pleasantly surprising. Usually these kind of games become known to a wider audience when they are on a sale 6 months to a year after their release, which is usually a shame. Not this time!

    • @michaelmonstar4276
      @michaelmonstar4276 Год назад +2

      It does. I don't see what Jake is getting at, because I've seen loads of videos pop up with the same kind of angle of "Is this a hidden gem?!", which is so forced and absolutely makes it NOT something that is overlooked. It's getting some of the most attention in its "scene", and people need to make it out to be like this "miracle" of a game, while at the same time other great ones are probably overlooked. - The irony and hypocrisy of gamers...

    • @Apethantos
      @Apethantos Год назад +2

      @@michaelmonstar4276 Don't get me wrong, I still don't think it gets the "mainstream" exposure other games get by just existing, not that I'm expecting that or it's mandatory to, but that's what I'm saying: it gets more than the usual indie traction, which is surprisingly great. More exposure is always good, in my opinion it does no harm as you suggest, it's not sound to assume it "steals" exposure from other overlooked games, I don't think it works that way.
      Also, I'm not diminishing in any way what Jake is doing here. People like Jake and videos like this, are exactly the reason that traction was created in the first place. You could argue that Dredge is now already "known" so this video is a bit late, but it's still realtively close to the game's original release (instead of the 1 year late "This game is awesome" video). I'm 100% sure this video is where someone heard of Dredge for the first time, so it's all good.

Minecraft Legends really surprised me though, such a cool mix of strategy and action (reminds me of C+C Generals, an old game called Sacrifice and a little Mount & Blade). Come to find out the devs made one of my favorite modern rts games with Deserts Of Kharak, no wonder am having a great time on this game haha. Even my 60+ year old dad is loving it, hes not played a strategy game since Dune 2, but enjoying this. Nice video!
