I'm happy to announce that the playerbase of Wayfinder got multiplied by 15 since 1.0 came out and I'd like to think my little video helped with that in an (albeit very) small way ;) Here's hoping the player numbers don't fall off too fast, and the devs commit to developing more content!
High quality vid you got here, good shot for one of your first. Review itself is also solid, feel like you give good perspective on everything I might need to know if I were to get this game. I wish you luck on your journey as a content creator on this platform. Also, the fact you have your closed captioning working, is insane and immensely appreciated.
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the feedback and encouragement! I don't know why more people don't have proper CC... It's surprisingly easy to set up, just paste your script into youtube and it'll generate the subtitle timestamps automatically for you. It's a _relatively_ painless process.
Ha ha thanks and indeed I now have more than 100 subscribers!! I was thinking of doing a post about it because I never thought I would reach even that, but then I realised that most people would think that I'm celebrating a very minor milestone so.... yeah.
Hi there and thanks for watching! Unfortunately that isn't really the point of this channel. My channel's goal is to try and find unpopular indie games or games that went through a lot of work since release but were since kinda abandoned by their playerbase, and showcase them. In the future, if my channel gets much bigger I could squeeze in some videos talking about games I previously showcased and seeing how they evolved since then, but that's in the far future, at least a year from now.
I think it does. You can select if you want the world to scale to your character level or just the traditional way. Coop gameplay is pretty smooth. I'm not sure if there's voice chat in the game, but i usually just use discord.
If you are going into this game thinking you could be a tanker/healer, then stop. DPS is king in this game and in the late game grind, people kill the boss within seconds. Even wingrave is a DPS ability build. No one is stopping you on being a tank/healer, but you will surely feel useless when doing mythic runs and people just oneshotting mobs and melting bosses.
it's now mostly solo or coop with friends, it's not online anymore , if people are killing stuff in seconds it's that they are overgeared and you should increase difficulty or use more modifiers. I feel like your opinion was made a long time ago the game is very different now.
@@tolmir2929My info was from 3-4months ago, and I saw nothing in the recent patch notes that would impact any builds because of the 1.0 update. Unless Lora is overtuned and has broken scaling. None of the pre 1.0 builds and coop experience should be different.
@@PejorativeDaedal could be the coop scalling that is busted maybe mobs just do not have enough hp, still it would not be a problem of if tanks or healer are required but that the game is to easy if you are maxed out. But the game can be played solo so you can not have pure tank and healer anyway since they would not be able to clear the game alone, everyone need to be able to dps, healing and tanking should be a nice bonus though.
The big problem was all the sh*tstorm made too much "players" when the game was an eaaaarrrrly access. Many players crying on a game made by a small studios (less than Larian e.g. ....) and playstastions waitin' tooo much time for patches, .... Too much peoples need everythin FAST and that's the only reson why Airship was in trouble with all the bad reviews.... because the game was wayyyy better as multiplayer game even it's a great game now. Sad the impatience kill too much great game and studios.
Since season 6 of Diablo 4 is an orgy of unbalances I was looking for another ARPG to play, found Wayfinder looked up some videos and even if it looks to much cartoony to me, the gameplay is fun and I quite like it :)
the max lvl literally does not matter it's just a number you could get the exact same amount of skill points and stats from 30 lvl then you gain from 100 lvls and take the exact same amount of time, I suppose what you mean is more stats, skill points or that it should take longer to lvl up to max ? If so you are probably not the demographic they are going for, they initially sold the game as a mmorpg you could get to max lvl in 20-30 hours and farm endgame.
I ambitiously waited for the free to play version. I knew I wasn't buying it when they made the change because that means they themselves gave up on the game. I'm not buying a multiplayer type game that's going to die in 1-2 years
They din't give up, when their publisher digital extremes ran off with their money 2 months into early acces release they could have easily just abandoned it. But they din't and instead turned it into a coop game with no microtransactions that can also be played singleplayer so it can never shut down.
it's not multiplayer anymore did you even watch the video ? You can either play offline solo or coop up to 3. I prefer it like that personally most people do not have the time for another free to play mmorpg there is already ton of them on the market and mmorpg have a tendency to be to time consuming.
I genuinely agree but I think now the target audience has shifted from MMO's people to Offline people. So you will be mostly be not understood. Wayfinder as MMO that you can grow with your friends is dead. Despite many are saying we are filled by "MMOs" they do not realize the genre is dead since 2013 with black desert and ff14 .... so nah ...there are not many titles to meta-progress with friends while doing dungeons and bosses with an action combat system. What a shame for the game
Shame on this developers. Asked money for early start. People paid money and get on ps4 not working game at all. Later they delete game from ps4. Didn’t even apologised to players.. basically just fulld people and steal they money. Shame on troll developer like that.
I understand where you're coming from but clearly it wasn't entirely their fault... The money didn't go to them,. it went to DE, and DE shut down right after... Hard to do refunds in this scenario.

Gave the game a shot with a couple friends. It didn't disappoint
Great video. Clear concise, well edited. Subbed straight away :)

Great video with a great format for getting this info across- thanks!
I've been really excited about the update. When its finally on Xbox I'll be able to dungeon crawl to my hearts content.
Great video
This channel deserve more subs ❤
Wayfinder is def worth it at the price
Great review, exactly what I was looking for thank you. Also, I'm the 100th subscriber 🎉😊!
Ha ha thanks and indeed I now have more than 100 subscribers!!

Nice video with good insights and decent gameplay, you sir are on the right track so now I subscribe. Good job
Would be nice to discover more of games like that one :)
Subeed, good video, short and to the point.
I can play as a muscle mommy with a giant sword? Man.... thats tempting...
1.0 just came out, if you are reading this and not playing it, what are you waiting for ?! :)
Excellent video! Hope you will do more now that 1.0 is out!!

How is the music so nostalgic already??
I think the fact that the composer is Gareth Coker (the guy who made the ori series soundtrack) helps ;)
great video
How is multi-player? Does the difficulty scale ?
I think it does. You can select if you want the world to scale to your character level or just the traditional way. Coop gameplay is pretty smooth. I'm not sure if there's voice chat in the game, but i usually just use discord.
@@kentreed9516 scale to the host yes, but does it scale to the added number of players in a session?
@@jojoboynat I am pretty sure it does. At least it felt like it when I was playing with my friend.

Who’s the best character to use ?
it's now mostly solo or coop with friends, it's not online anymore , if people are killing stuff in seconds it's that they are overgeared and you should increase difficulty or use more modifiers. I feel like your opinion was made a long time ago the game is very different now.
@@CamLovesJesus pre 1.0 Niss has the fastest clear with ability build. Im assuming thats still the case.

I haven't found a wayfinder build that does trillions of damage but I'm working on it 😄
@@kaliban2747 good one :)
How they going to make money if the studio can't make profit that will shut down?
Because its a singleplayer/coop game now, the game will never shut down because it has no actual servers to shut down
And if it succesful they mentioned releasing supporter packs, similar to deep rock galactic model
Build diversity is too low for me....4 same skills throughout the entire game is boring
Main con is low character max levels. Max level should be 100 or something
the max lvl literally does not matter it's just a number you could get the exact same amount of skill points and stats from 30 lvl then you gain from 100 lvls and take the exact same amount of time, I suppose what you mean is more stats, skill points or that it should take longer to lvl up to max ? If so you are probably not the demographic they are going for, they initially sold the game as a mmorpg you could get to max lvl in 20-30 hours and farm endgame.
Well there's 8 characters so I guess max level is 240
Found out the character I like with big ass sword is a female, I'm tired of this woke ah shitty game.
In what world is this... "woke"... what does that even mean?
Can't have a strong female character?
I ambitiously waited for the free to play version. I knew I wasn't buying it when they made the change because that means they themselves gave up on the game. I'm not buying a multiplayer type game that's going to die in 1-2 years
Most games die alot faster then that and cost double
They din't give up, when their publisher digital extremes ran off with their money 2 months into early acces release they could have easily just abandoned it.
But they din't and instead turned it into a coop game with no microtransactions that can also be played singleplayer so it can never shut down.

@@tolmir2929 I know what it . And they only did that because they expected failure. So I'm not buying a game the devs didn't believe in themselves

Hard to do refunds in this scenario.
Would be the perfect mobile game
Idk where all this positivity is coming from, the game still plays like a low budget MMO… I got about 6 minutes in before requesting a refund
Cringe and shitty game ever....
