@@TheCivildecaywhaddup my game pass g 😂 I am downloading Starfield as I am typing this. Still debating on downloading this one. You reckon I should go for solar ash?
@@alkindi5647 (at least the first 8 hours) of starfield is dry AF... its a bit like the start of mass effect 1 but without any of the tension, epicness, or fun :) Playing this was a great palet cleanser
There was some drama about Furi copying Hyper Light Drifter's art direction many years back. I don't know how much truth there was to it, but there are similar character proportions, styling, and especially color palettes in both. This is the followup to HLD, so it makes sense that it would also look quite similar. All great games, IMO.
@@RyanMSwartz Isn't HLD much more pixelated and pokemon-style? Regardless I agree they're all good games and i think everyone can benefit if games copy good features and styles from each other, as long as they improve on it themselves
Sony paid for timed-console-exclusivity for this game. So after several months to a year, once that contract is up... the developers will most likely release it on Xbox (& possibly Nintendo Switch, if a port is do-able for that system).
Hey so Marty got this. About as curious as I was if this turned out any good I was also curious to see who at The Escapist would win the inevitable bout that must have ensued for who got to review this.
Amazing review and cool voice Marty! If scotch had a voice it would sound like you. I hope that someone at The Escapist come with a cool name for the genre of the Shadow of the Colossus inheritors.
Not sure if I want to wait for a sale or not for it. Six hours seems short, but could be worth it since the game looks absolutely gorgeous and is made by a smaller studio.
It does look like our protagonist disappears easily as the camera pulls out for boss fights, they might need to fiddle with the skybox colours or the boss colours.
Not anywhere near as good as Hyper Light Drifter, but a decent effort, I think. Hope their next game can be much better, now that they have their 3D engine in place.

I absolutely adored this game. Hope y'all dig it as much as I did!
I stopped playing starfield for this. Game is awesome

Finally. A good 3D Sonic game.
Sonic Adventure, Generations and Colors say hi.
🤣
The sad part is the next sonic game will most likely end up being a worse version of this.
@@sammalone7881 All of those are on a linear path. Except for the emerald missions in SA2.
@@sammalone7881 and lost world, although you may not wanna wave back to that one
The artstyle reminds me of Furi somehow (another brilliant game imo). Can't wait to try this out.
Reminds me more of Haven, from the same studio as Furi.

Someone mentions FURI.
Me: Respect.
No Switch Release??
Damn, i feel like this game would be _perfect_ for that console
lmao what wouldnt. i swear i hear “perfect for the switch” about EVERY game lol
but maybe if u wait it out a switch port will pop up!

I still hope for a Switch release. I really loved HLD, so I can't really wait to play this.
@@elcheshireilustracion9396its on switch now!
I think this is the first time I ever heard any compliment towards sunset overdrive
Yo! I was right on the money with my first guess about this title, Jetset Radio mixed with Shadow of the Colossus.
you had me at "from the guys who made hyper light drifter"
Hey so Marty got this. About as curious as I was if this turned out any good I was also curious to see who at The Escapist would win the inevitable bout that must have ensued for who got to review this.
soon as I heard "heart machine" My own heart skipped a beat. i LOVED hyper light drifter. Can't wait to give this a go.
Annapurna is always top notch. I'm just sad I have to wait for it to launch on Steam
Amazing review and cool voice Marty! If scotch had a voice it would sound like you. I hope that someone at The Escapist come with a cool name for the genre of the Shadow of the Colossus inheritors.
I purpose a simple "Battle of the Colossus"
Marty! Id know that sultry voice anywhere
that's a really short game for the price
Not sure if I want to wait for a sale or not for it. Six hours seems short, but could be worth it since the game looks absolutely gorgeous and is made by a smaller studio.
I definitely don't regret picking it up. It's super re-playable
Wow this game looks awesome! I'll have to try and check it out after I get through what I'm currently playing
You had me a Pathless-like.
Cool review! but showing the final area of the game in the review is not something many people appreciate.
So Sonic meets Shadow of the Colossus meets Hyper Light Drifter?
How long is the game?
Thank you for the review.
a comment to please our almighty overlord with engagement to feed the algorithm!
It does look like our protagonist disappears easily as the camera pulls out for boss fights, they might need to fiddle with the skybox colours or the boss colours.
What do you mean by this? Never had her disappear before.
@@Luka1180 yeah it's weird that they're pointing such a thing out.
hmmm i loved hld’s visuals but the game was too hard for me, this seems like something i should check out!
Yep, this game is much, much easier than HLD.
How long is it if you do everything?
He says "throughout the 6 hour adventure" so I'd guess 6 hours. Might wait for a sale if it's only 6 hours
2:34 I can't make out what he's saying, what was the name of that game?
"The Pathless" is the name of the game.
Just hit Steam today, FYI!
That uh, looks rather a lot like 3d sonic platforming (perhaps, done right)
Looks great! I was really intrigued until i heard the last 3 words of the review T___T
Welp, I'll probably end up getting this on my PS4 instead then.
Ah, so basically Sonic when it’s actually good. Got it.
Love love this game😊 it feels so smooth. When I start, I can’t stop playing it.
Cloudbuilt!
Reminds of the path, a game which I loveddd
Honestly kind of reminds of "Sonic and the Secret Rings" if anyone remembers it.
Thank you. Fantasic!
Not anywhere near as good as Hyper Light Drifter, but a decent effort, I think. Hope their next game can be much better, now that they have their 3D engine in place.
This game is actually amazing but if you're looking for hyper light drifter like combat you're obviously gonna be Dissapointed.
Can't fuckin wait
EPIC GAMES EXCLUSIVE💀
£40 for a six hour game?
Maybe don't show late game areas and bosses?
She is all the jedi.
In all seriousness, this looks good! Shame about the epic exclusivity, though...
Looked pretty interesting until he said epic game store. Hard pass from me chief.
