nice, i have been waiting for a good X game in a VERY long time. This one seems more like 3 but there are quite a few folks over at reddit complaining about the late game. So i will be waiting for your input.
@@HushPuppyBandit sweet! I bought it but I've had other things going on so I've only just got our of fort joy. It's a great game so far, can't wait to finish it!
@@HushPuppyBandit Wasteland 2 & Torment Tides of Numenera are your answer. Both games are TBS Tactics RPG. If you want and excellent TBS tactics JRPG theme instead than I recommend Legend of Heroes: Trails of series (Trails of Sky, Trails of Cold Steel, etc)
The game is based on the Swedish roleplaying game (pen and paper kind) Mutant Year Zero which is in turn is a remake of the original Mutant that was released back in 1984. It's set in a post-apocalyptic Sweden where survivors eek out a living in the ruins of a bygone civilization. Players could either be straight up normal humans, mutated humans, psi-mutans and, perhaps most famously, mutated animals. If you play the video game, there are lots of Swedish references and in-jokes. Like roadsigns to Swedish town and cities. When you visit the bar at the arc the owner is called Pripps which was a Swedish beer brewery (before being bought by Carlsberg) and in the background he plays horribly cheesy Swedish dansbands-music.
One of my favorite parts of this game is how it gates things off, but its not completely artificial. For example, I snuck into one of the final areas of the game early on, utilizing some aspects of the stealth system and grabbed ghoul armor 1/4 of the way through the game and gave it to bormin. It's all about rewarding you for thinking outside of the box and really getting those numbers cranked. You can stealth kill enemies you never thought possible by combining firepower between multiple troops in a single turn. So long as you take the guy out in that turn it doesn't matter.
This looks great and interesting. The entire idea and setting along with the cartoonish graphics seems like something you would find in the PS2 days and I love it:D AAA used to come up with creative and wacky shit like this and we need it now more than ever since AAA just don't want to be fun and creative anymore. Also the gameplay looks very good:)
"Let's first of all, start with the graphics. The graphics look, like, they do on the screen...so, there's the graphics." God, I snorted coffee out my nose I laughed so hard. XD
I just started the game and it's definitely fun and I've never even played a game like this before and I really like how much it makes you think. The thing about the RNG- if you figure out the optimal way to attack the enemies you can actually get your gun to be 100% chance to hit versus 75% for example, I simply figuring out how to run to the right location before you take your shot.
I've had my eye on this game for sometime now, been hoping you would do a review on it. Glad its turned out to be a good game decided to pick it up through your GMG link. Keep up the great work mack.
I don't usually play turn based games, and I really couldn't get into Xcom at all. But I'm loving this! It's so refreshing. The script writing is really good, so is the voice acting. It does have some issues, and it crashes often when you fast travel but those things aside it's really charming to play. And VERY satisfying when you win a battle. For me, clearing out a zone can take around an hour and you really do need to think about your strategy. I've been doing a play-through for this on my channel so please pop by and check it out.
Looking for an xcom replacement and after seeing your Chimera hipster squad review, this might just be the one! Curious to if you've played Phoenix Point and have any opinions on it? Obviously very similar to xcom
Mack can you do a rant on RDR2 microtransactions? I think hearing your thoughts on the online play with the awful grind for gold bars would be amazing.. anyways another awesome video!!!
I play the TTRPG that this is based off of, and absolutely love it. Really looking forward to playing this! Just wish it had a mode where you can explore the zone, lose your mutants, take more out and try to survive. Much more like the tabletop game itself. Worth noting that apparently the Deluxe version gives you the PDF of the table top game. Highly recommend!
I always wondered what happened to Howard the Duck lol best channel ever hope everything went alright at the hospital and you're feeling a lot better now.
You put the psi-helmet on Farrow? The obvious choice of headgear for Farrow is the stovepipe hat because she wears it jauntily askew so one ear sticks out. Its super cute
I like the game a lot!! As a nerdy-ass swede growing up in the 80´s, I played a lot of the original "Pen and paper Mutant" with my friends, and I felt right at home in this game! Some cultural references (Like f.e the electric Lucia candle-crown, the songs by "Lill-Babs" and so on) might be lost on people that are not from Scandinavia , but the game is still good fun no matter where you hail from! My only critisism is that it is waaay too short! 25h for a normal playthrough is not a lot in this day and age, but I suspect that there will be a ton of DLC-missions coming out relatively soon to rectify that.
Dam I loved the trailer for this. Not sure this is what I expected. Looks ok though for its genre. Does it have any cinematics like the trailers? I could totally get immersed in that.
Hey Mack, been tryin' to purchase the game from GMG andthe link just takes me home, and so does the shorten one. How can I buy the games so I can contribute to your channel at least with that?
at 7:35 there are two types of mushroom on the screen. Each of those is a psychedelic mushroom. Well, amanita muscaria , the red one is garbage. No one should eat it. The other caramel colored ones look exactly like Psilocybe Cubensis.
Tried the demo, great game I highly recommend it just based on what I've played, despite the fact that I hate RNG in games. Absolutely recommend doing Iron mode, so you can't cheese it with save/reloading. Prob gonna buy it.
no cos ps4 is shit. PS4 decided "it's not in our customers interests to have game pass" so they hate you they've been hating on gamers for years now, abusing cross-play, back-compat and other features. So my advice to u is get an xbox
I dont even buy games any more, i just buy game pass and have way more than i can ever go through, another customer-friendly service. Also im off to play Forza Horizon 4, i'd say go play a racer on PS4 but they're all horseshit so dont bother
This one looks interesting, and I may have to check it out. I enjoy these kinds of games and didn't hear much about this one coming out. Off topic, but thank you for your video last week on the Greenman gaming sale. I was able to get some great deals.
Mack, I would recommend finishing the game and then putting up the review instead of playing through half the game and then giving your opinion on it (see Spec Ops: The Line). Also, a lot of other people who do, in fact, finish the game don't show footage of the later stages because 1. either the developer asked them not to show that footage or 2. because it may be considered spoiler or 3. both. With that being said, good review. You are one of the few reviewers whose opinion I value nowadays and I thought you should know that. Keep the good work going.
As Mack says, you don't have to finish a game to see whether it's worth buying and Mack will just about always say how long he's played a game for when he comes to review one.
@@xMTxcameron Then I won't spoil it for you. Spec Ops: The Line is a very average TPS with a really really good story that you become aware of towards the end of the game. It is a prime example of why you should play a game until at least the completion of the main campaign. That being said, a shitty game will probably stay shitty until you finish it but the story does sometimes elevate an average game like SOTL.
Most people don't even remember Funcom. They always made exceptional music in their games. Who knew they could make a perfect XCOM type game? It's damn amazing how well it plays. The physics of the characters and weapons is really great looking. Battle get very tense. I just hope it's long enough because replay value probably isn't great but it's more than worth the price. Atmosphere is great, voices are great. It's really a solid game.
@@ILOVESTARK Oh I didn't know they published other people's games. Really they've been out of the gaming scene for a number of years so no idea what they are like today.
hahaha..... did you not watch his X-Unbirth WAB? Nothing has changed. The new X4, is just as sh!t as Rebirth is. The 5% improvement, does not make a turd great by any means. I had to deinstall it 5 hours later. Patch & Hotfix already included. Or i would have grilled a random person on the streets..... fck Egosoft! Im done with the X-Series! Legit Piracy saves money! Never a dumb customer again!
Well i hawe the game and is amazing im play for first time x games but much better then elite much more content but the only - is for some bugs but patch are coming
@@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233 The user reviews don't look as bad as Rebirth did at launch so I doubt it's AS bad as that sack of shit. Not saying it isn't bad though (I haven't even played X4 yet).
The thing I hated about this genre of games is exactly the random chance of everything going to hell. They are called tactical, but all that goes to the trashcan once you roll a bad dice. You can rethink your tactics and prepare a cunning trap, start over, but when the fight begins the computer finds a new way to screw you. It's a game of chance. It doesn't feel rewarding for coming up with a strategy, when each new run comes out worst than your first blind run - in fact it feels like the computer just punishes you for being clever. In that regard a 3rd person shooter is more tactical, because the outcome depends entirely on your tactics.
Worth a Buy, your voice sounds like you are a sailor from a colonial era British ship. Is it a "limey" accent? I am not from UK, I don't know what accent is from where
Micmac you going to look at the 40k Mechanicus game? be interested to hear u take on that kinda on the fence myself but xcomy games seem to be right up your lane
Never mind. I just googled it. It is coming to PS4.. I love these types of games and this looks to be a new take on the genre which I am real happy about..
I'm happy to see more XCom-like games on the market. This one looks a bit too weird for my taste, but hopefully it serves as a nice introduction to people unfamiliar to the genre. I may try it eventually. I'm just waiting for Phoenix Point to finally release...
It would have been cool if the graphics looked like the character illustrations in the HUD! The character models look adequate but they don't have as much life or personality without that linework.
Enjoying this a lot on Xbox Gamepass. Probably a game I'd never have bought so glad I stumbled upon it. The loot is quite hard to see as there's so much junk around and it's pretty tough even on normal but good fun so far.

Damn I ve been waiting for this game. Most people felt dissapointed when they realised the trailer was entirely different than the actual gameplay, but I love xcom so I was pretty hyped for it. Thanks for the review mate
I'm actually surprised for good, I thought its gonna be an fps team tactical game
Check out Phantom Doctrine if you haven't already - it's very similar to xcom in terms of gameplay.
Gears of War will bring an Xcom roundbased Game too.
They really mess up with the trailer, giving people the wrong expectation to a game is pretty bad for marketing, hopefully they didn't suffer too much on sales. The gameplay looks decent, good thing there is youtube.

Was just going to ask if you're going to review X4. I'm really on the fence on that one.
Thank you for your efforts in these matters.

You've been quoted in the Nintendo switch trailer for the game.
So is it XCOM for furries?
Steve Raptor the correct term is mutants
it has no connection to xcom, it was a big letdown regarding this point. And no replay value...and no aliens
@@AbcIHateYou3 Feathurs?.... ????
Yes exactly
For me the ending was the problem, the only setup up future dlc or the second game. And also...false advertising:P

Great review, human. We've been playing this here at our headquarters and really enjoy it.
So XCom and StarFox travelled to the Terminator universe and had a baby? Gotcha.
Except Mutant (1984) came out around 10 years before XCom and StarFox :o

I'm happy to see more XCom-like games on the market. This one looks a bit too weird for my taste, but hopefully it serves as a nice introduction to people unfamiliar to the genre. I may try it eventually. I'm just waiting for Phoenix Point to finally release...

DIdn´t heard about this game before seems interesting, anyway when can we expect Just Cause 4 review Mack?

Enjoying this a lot on Xbox Gamepass. Probably a game I'd never have bought so glad I stumbled upon it. The loot is quite hard to see as there's so much junk around and it's pretty tough even on normal but good fun so far.
Did you end up beating this game?
