Maybe you should have clarified that this is an online only live service game. Until they implement an offline mode I have no interest in getting the game.
Netflix and chill games eh! 😏
So you gunna talk about the fact that you straight up got called out by dev from RockSteady last night and lied about having a friend in the studio? You're a disingenuous person Luke, your content has never been good either.
@@MarluxiaX2finally people calling him out on that
@@MarluxiaX2 I am telling everyone I know to unfollow him. He is digging his own grave. He could make a video and apologize and change attitude but it’s only getting worse. What a shame…
Thanks for playing!
Looks like a great game!
Thank you for making this!
@@suntzu8168 Indeed!
Tbf you did pay him to play it
Played this and absolutely LOVED it❤
Goddamn people seem to hate puzzle games in this comment section. I’m excited for this. Not every game has to have intense stressful gameplay and it’s nice to have a relaxing time sometimes. The Witness is a fun game and it seems like this is a neat spiritual successor.
I'm a bit pumped for this as well. I love puzzle games. I'll bet this will run fantastic on my Deck
really? im seeing none of that.. like at all? did you just make it up?
@@pylotlight if you were here when the video first premiered there was mostly hate comments. It seems to have fizzled out by now
@@pylotlight if you want to see them sort by new and scroll to the bottom
I only saw two comments of people complaining before your your comment 😅 c’mon now
You know which game I think would be an awesome remake, EA’s 2010’s Dante’s Inferno. The whole atmospheric depiction of hell, would be such an immersive experience. I think would be an awesome game for todays modern gaming. Btw, this game looks astounding!
Lol the god of war ripoff. I loved it lol
Luke, if you like Egypt and puzzles you should look into The Talos Principle. There´s a world made of the egyptian ruins, pyramids and other structures with soothing eastern music
The sequel is such a brilliant game as well.
@@aeztral true. A improvement in pretty much every area of the game (graphics, animations, size, gameplay). Although I still prefer the first. The story feels like a very personal journey of self discovery, where you have to choose to accept or reject that world as you understand the situation through the game
Why is this not releasing on console? A chill, multiplayer environmental puzzle exploration game makes me think of vibing out on my couch with my girlfriend, not hunched over in my triple monitor PC gaming rig.
This seems perfect for the SteamDeck. This is the kind of game I'd love to play on the couch
I have my PC connected to my TV
bro just get a long HDMI lol, or move your PC. I'm sure it has controller support and voilà you have a console experience without having to spend $400 to do that same exact thing you want.
Moreso if you have a half decent router you can stream your PC to your smart tv or any Google/Amazon/Roku box.
Most indie games release on steam first and then if they are successful they get ported to console
Agreed!
Luke: "Without tons of tutorials cluttering the menu..."
Me: *cries in Path of Exile*
Not sure what this is supposed to mean. You can disable it in Path of Exile from the get do, and PoE also has a comprehensive tutorial *if* you want it that goes super into detail (that everyone never uses).
@@34125867 You must be so much fun at parties
Refreshing to see new cool game on a channel. Not a drama about formulaic dissapointing blockbusters, just cool stuff. Respect.
I'm glad you choosed this sponsorship ! I didn't hear of this game at all and I truly enjoy the idea of a massive puzzle park !
Yeah. It seems like a bombardment of little puzzles you complete whenever you want. Rather than have your hand held throughout.
This just solved so much of my anxiety. This is my most anticipated game of the year, and I'm so happy it's looking good. Can't wait for the release!
Edit: can't believe Luke flew onto that little island that had some of the hardest level puzzles on it and didn't happen to try them, I would have loved to see him attempt them
Sounds AMAZING!! Loved me Talos Principle and other similar games. Thank you for covering this game!! ❤
and the protagonist does not constantly spoil the game for you like in most current AAA games with puzzles, what an inovative game design :)
Or the ones that constantly go "you seem stuck, need a hand?" when you just want to solve it without cheats or a guide.
This game seems like the ultimate game for an adhd person
I'm an adhd person and It doesn't look that interesting to me personally. Not that it's a bad game or anything, it just doesn't look like a game that I myself would enjoy.
ADHD person who loves puzzle games here - yes, the amount of "oh, shiny!" moments you have in this game, with at least one puzzle *everywhere* you look is amazing
@@ChiaraMihara ok I'm so getting this now haha
The Witness 2 just dropped
1 of my favorite unexpectedly awesome games, so I’m all for it!
I'm looking for a game that is neither fast-paced nor battle-centric but can still be very enjoyable to play with family, this game is right up that alley.
This game looks gorgeous
You describe these types of games and "Netflix and Chill games?" LOL I don't think you know what that means.
Bear in mind this is someone, Luke, who often defines the definition of insanity by a popular quote rather than it's actual definition. 😂
I came here to say that haha
Myst was one my fav games growing up and I really enjoyed The Witness. So after watching this, I am pretty keen!
Using the name of the game’s dev Del walker like that luke? What were you thinking dude? 💀
this game looks like exactly what ive been wanting for so long, 10,000 puzzles is amazing.
This game looks great. I hope it gets a console port at some point.
The more days I wake up to the more chill vibes I seek. 🤙
👌
This is easily one of my most anticipated games of the year. Excited to just chill out and do some puzzles and explore with my gaming squad.
This actually looks dope!
Not even 10 minutes into the video I switchted to Steam to download the demo! Love it already. Although I'm sceptical about the long term motivation.
Yeah. It seems like it's aimed at the gamer who just won't stop until they've solved everything. A puzzle completionist's dream.
This reminds me of "A story about my uncle" on so many levels which is lovely! Onto the wishlist it goes 😄
Thanks for the insightful look! I'm excited for anything without a major combat focus but even I have to admit that it is difficult to keep a player engaged and feel like they're advancing and mastering something without combat. Puzzles and farming sims are definitely the closest.
It looks like a mix between The Witness and Journey and that sounds like a chill but engaging time
This game seems to be amazingly underrated... not least because people are scared off by the fact it forces you to play online... I can only say it's a fantastic puzzle game, right up there with The Witness and the Talos Principle.. and you can essentially forget it's even online if you have a decent internet connection...
Wishlisted.
I download immediately after you mentioning in your stream yesterday. Been having a blast since!
That background music around 10:30 is beautiful
You should try out AE mysteries. It's an indie puzzle game but the puzzles are pretty hard, and the game itself doesn't really have an open world. The visuals look fine though
This game looks like everything The Witness was and some things it could never be. This might be a legit 10/10
If this works on the steamdeck it might be the perfect lazynight game for me and the missus
Hey wht happened to ur ultimate critique man those were the best pls bring it back
Any chance we get a series of Survivor videos when the next season starts?? ❤
I get assassins creed vibe from this game , from the biomes too the puzzles
@@moondiegordr don’t over think it pal. the pyramids the grass the ruins , and the puzzles just remind me of assassins creed. I’m not saying it’s anything like it.
TALOS PRINCIPLE 3 LEAKED 😮😮
Really glad to hear you mention the Witness. My wife and I loved that game; our only disappointment being it felt like there was a narrative hidden somewhere that never paid off. Did you get the impression this was distinctly narrative-free? Or is there any sort of underlying reason for these islands and puzzles existing that you can discover in game.
blockorz, taiji, familiar puzzles
I love point n click puzzle games when the puzzles are to progress a narrative. This game seems puzzles for puzzles sake with no story? 🤔 Maybe fun as a mobile game to pass the time? 🤷♀️ Looks pretty though 🤗
I get that. It seems like it's one big open world packed with puzzles. And that's it. Not a narrative driven puzzler
We played the witness and it was surprisingly fun.
This looks like a game that could end up being just as cool. Will look into it
I heard the word “puzzles” and immediately stopped listening. I hope the people who enjoy this sort of game has the best time in the world! Just not my thing…
Room temp IQ detected
@@RafidW9damn 😳 😆
@@RafidW9wait, people can enjoy . . . different things? No cant be true
Delusional
Pointless comment.
Luke, Mirabilis is latin. it means miraculous or wonderful. and yea, this game is addicting. it's one of those "1 more minute" and you take a break a day later...
Not surprised by the negative reception in the comments, this game isn't at all close to what Luke covers on the regular (AAA RPG titles) so trying to persuade this audience to play an indie puzzle chill-and-relax game isn't going to work out very well
Well I didn't know about this game and this video just made me download the demo and I definitely gonna buy it at release
People are delulu
@@moondiegordr Yeah... I know....
10k puzzles, huh? I wonder if people would call *this* a Genshin 'clone' for having puzzles in them.
I was waiting to see how long it took for Luke to get to that Pyramid hahaha. 18 minutes
“i’m just gonna be honest” 😂
I have literally no idea how to do the Unsolvable puzzles, theyve done a really awful job of explaining them...
I want it for ps5. Looks like an excellent game.
Reminds me of *MYST* back in the day
It looks absolutely beautiful but it's not for me. I am totally here to shoot monsters and build bases.
Is there an offline mode, or are you going to always see other people even if you're tackling the game solo?
From what I read on Steam it's online only which makes it a big no buy for me.
@@johanstenborg1465 Disappointing. Off the wishlist it goes then.
This looks like the STAR tests we did in HS
I am not against puzzle games, but this is more suitable for a mobile platform than for a console or PC.
This is why gaming is great imo. For everyone who likes games like Suicide Squad, there are games like this to appeal to a totally different type of player.
It sounds like the Witness but better. I think the Witness started out great, but the mid game and later puzzles weren't well designed. If the puzzles in Islands of Insight are more fun and intuitive like Stephan has implied, seems like a much needed improvement in the puzzle game genre
Glad he said something. Just from the thumbnail this was so obviously a sponsored video. Not that these games are "bad" but for the most part. No one gives two shits about these kinda games. An this is certainly not the content I come here to watch.
It feels like I’m having someone convince me cocaine is good for me. (Not literally)
Reminds me a bit of The Witness.
edit - just as I posted, you mentioned that game. whoops.
This would be great in VR
Been looking forward to this game since the first beta back september. Totally my type of game.
it also a good ways to train and help you mind grow like the old god of war puzzle that thing can take many attempt but it help tone down the game so it not just hack and slash but mind game as well
can you play all the level and make a review
Wow this looks inspired by The Witness 😊
All love Luke, but im gonna throw some constructive cristisim. Your willing to cover this game but not Final Fantasy 16 at all? Because you've stated that you don't think your audience would enjoy FF16 content. But I'm going to argue most of your audience aren't a big fan of these kind of games either. Just saying Seriously love your stuff, Luke, but if you're not willing to cover one kind of game, I feel you should be more consistent in regards to the games you want to cover that cater to your audience. Its YOUR channel. Obviously, do what you want, just putting my 2 cents in. All love brother ❤️.
To be fair:
1) they paid him to cover this game.
2) maybe he doesn't even enjoy FF16 himself. In comparison, I'd say it's ok to cover games you personally like even if you don't think/know if your audience will be interested in them.
There might be some valid criticism depending on your standards, but I don't think he's being particularly unreasonable.
Didn’t miss much by not covering FFXVI.
"Ooh piece of candy?" So this game makes you an NPC🤨
Luke, do you like the Egyptian theme band called Nile ?
As long as the game has some sort of story, or the puzzles serve some larger purpose, I’m in. If it’s a game like the witness with just random puzzles with no context or connection to the game world, I’m out. The witness was the most insulted I ever was playing a game; pointless aside from ppl who just want a book of random puzzles to mess around with
Pointless for you. Not for other gamers though. I hope you find a game you do vibe with.
can you cover that procedural castle builder when it comes out?
All I can see is "The Witness". It'd be easier for me if you explained how this game is different because I don't need to buy 2 of the same game.
This looks like a really good mobile game.
I don’t enjoy games unless I get to kill things. It is what it is 😅
First impressions Genshin impact without the anime style
The world looks like Ubisoft's monster energy drink game.
Immortals fenyx rising
This is VERY similar to The Witness
I love puzzle games but saying this game has 10,000+ puzzles is a big red flag to me. I find it hard to believe puzzles that small and numerous won't get repetitiveor be overly simple. Because even if you complete 1 puzzle every single minute, it would take you over 150 hours to complete every puzzle. And again, at that number i find it hard to believe the puzzles will hold up and continue to be fresh and enjoyable. Personally, I would prefer fewer, but more indepth, puzzles. Love the prensetation and style of the game.
Can I have an honest opinion? This is a very boring game. Jump, stand in a particular spot, ding.. move on. Really? that's all?
Sponsored crap
It's totally a more boring game than a bunch of releases out right now, but it scratches an itch for my brain that nothing's managed to satisfy before.
It’s an environmental puzzle game? It’s a very reductive way to describe that. You can describe any sort of game like that. A shooter is “you just get a gun, shoot people, move on, that’s it?” You can dislike puzzle games but it’s silly to simplify what’s actually happening.
As you said, thats your opinion.
You can literally say the same about every game. God of war. Walk around, swing a weapon, walk around more, swing a weapon some more
I want this for PS5! 😩
great vid!
This looks realy good!
every minute it looks more and more to Immortals Fenyx Rising minus the combat
I need a console port. My pc would blow up
I could tell it was a paid bs from your tone of voice. Publicity 💩💩💩
Im too dumb for puzzles
Homer: I am so smart. S-M-R-T.
Man the word dopamine has been so overused by non-scientists. It's worth asking your psychiatrist about if you are having extreme emotional or motivation problems, but dopamine is never needed for discussing pleasure. It's all about learning reinforcement, so again, it is never necessary for normal conversation but many RUclipsrs dump it into their sentences because it can seemingly be a catch-all. If it was really that simple, we'd all just be happy and balanced people. It's never that simple. Also if it were universally simple, all entertainment should entertain and engage everyone without much effort. Many more factors that are potentially in the dozens or hundreds can be at play, but humans love to simplify things to a number they can count on their hands or easily connect to try and explain things. Also left brain right brain? 😮💨 My psychology degrees just shuddered.
Do you delete comments? I'm missing a comment I posted in reply to someone else
Why are you saying Del Walker is a friend of your channel, when you never had a conversation with him before, why are you lying? Why do you need to constantly lie for clicks?
Tried out the demo, game runs awful right now. 5600x + 3070 ti, I couldn't crack 65 fps on medium at 1440p. Gpu never got above 60% utilization. Imma keep an eye out for a driver update, but so far I'm not impressed
None of that makes the game unimpressive though. There's so many rig setups that it's bound to run better on some than others.
How does that make any amount of sense? A very reasonable upper-end-of-mid-range pc should easily be able to perform better, and considering the utilization was stuck aroung 60%, i think that's a fair assessment. Since then I've also run the game with Rivatuner going to check out the frame pacing; it was an absolute roller coaster. So yea, not impressed by any means.@@DubberRucks
Just looks meh to me
Looks cool, but also kinda... Formulaic.
Because it has to be. 10 000 anything is a lot. But puzzles? That means they're generated by an algorithm. Which is fine, but... Hardly the kind of content with substance that makes you appreciate more than the gimmick it is.
Actually, with 4 people working on puzzles, creating 5 puzzles a day it's less than a couple years of work. And I wouldn't be surprised if for such formulaic puzzles, as you say, someone could make more like 30 per day. It's very possible that many are auto-generated, but at the very least they can have been manually reviewed. 10k is not that much if you have funding and a team.
So you gunna talk about the fact that you straight up got called out by dev from RockSteady last night and lied about having a friend in the studio? You're a disingenuous person Luke, your content has never been good either.
Where did that happen? I'm trying to find it but can't find any reference
@@BlueCaboose42Same I don’t hear it
So you basically play Sodoku the entire time?
looks bland
We playing puzzle games now? You need your mama to feed you milk boy?
He said puzzles too much and I'm leaving. Didn't even get 1 minute in.
"vibe, chill, netflix" all in one sentence, nah, I'm out. 🤢
