    Karak's To-Do List: Eat, Sleep, Review Games
    Karak: "I guess 1 out of 3 is good enough."

  • @ACGreviews
    @ACGreviews  7 лет назад +119

    Summary
    Patch released about 15 minutes ago seems to have shored up the FPS as well good news!
    Not an amazing game. But really enjoyable and really excellent control and a very interesting world space for me. If you are not a fan of these kinds of games though, then your not going to suddenly be one. But 6-8 hours at this price aint bad for this game.
    Also for fans the youtube gaming side has the new paypal/youtube membership link if you don't want to do patreon gaming.ruclips.net/channel/UCK9_x1DImhU-eolIay5rb2Q

      @FINALBOSSVIBES 7 лет назад

      I have a question for you. What's your take on the HUD? I ask because I spoke with the devs on discord and RUclips and I told them I didn't like it as it doesn't fit the aesthetics of the game world and looks very bland. Do you have an opinion of this?

  • @isaacrushworth5036

    @AwesomeNick94 7 лет назад +8

    I don't really see the Abzu / Journey comparisons from gameplay yet, but I've been keeping an eye on this game for a while now and can't wait to try it out tomorrow and find out more, thanks for the great video!

    • @POOKISTAN
      @POOKISTAN 7 лет назад

      I was wondering about this too - It doesn't really seem to have the Journey/Abzu anagle as far as I can tell, though I only watched the review footage. At the very least, it looks like if it is there, there's other aspects from other genres/sub-genres that appear to be more prominent than the "moody/atmospheric walking simulator" that has come to define Journey/Abzu. If you get further in and think his assessment is right in this regard (or confirm that it's mostly malarkey), you should respond to this Comment a bit down the line when you play it some more. I'm definitely always on the lookout for another Journey/Abzu clone (*Glances over at Bound with VR support*), but I dunno' if this game fits the bill...

  • @ericb2861
    @ericb2861 7 лет назад +52

    My goodness. ACG must be a workaholic. Man you spit out reviews. You do finish all your games? I trust ACG reviews and rarely disagree with his views.

      @ericb2861 7 лет назад +2

      ACG I know this is your full time job but you can spit out 2 or 3 games in a few days.
      You should have taken some time off during the summer but I guess the summer has passed.

    • @FlameCatXVI
      @FlameCatXVI 7 лет назад

      Yeah; I spent 7 hours on this yesterday and still find myself with so much to do and enjoy, only having barely obtained grapple and all the collectables I've come across, yet I'm still missing a lot, so I don't really think it's fair to say it's an 8-hour game, but whatever. Still wondering wether I should craft the green or purple ruined I have schematics for first, after I get one more Corrupted Butterfly.

  • @happydylmore2542
    @happydylmore2542 7 лет назад +3

    Very detailed and fleshed out as always. Pretty bummed ACG never reviewed the recent Dishonored standalone.

    this isnt my type of game but. i just wanted to let you know i subbed about a year ago after watching you witcher 3 review, where i said when i can finally patron "you will be the first i will" just letting you know that has not changed. sorry RUclips has become so toxic to content creators but keep doing you!

    Best video game review channel on youtube hands down. Interesting and vivid as well as comical but believable most of all. I also appreciate the choice of games reviewed as it brings games I may never have seen to my attention. Whether its a game I'm considering purchasing or just to hear your take on "insert title" definitely never leave disappointed.

    Great review as always. I played a bit of this before work and it seems like it's going to be pretty cool. I didn't know you could have upgrades and I ran into a thing that hints at maybe there's different skins you can choose for your character when you unlock them. Those are always nice features in games. Looking forward to playing it more when I get off!

  • @astro_morph
    @astro_morph 7 лет назад +1

    Would love if you had a chance to review Darkwood, I know so many folks are tired of the survival horror genre but it really does a good job of changing it the slight bit to make it feel new and fresh, even more so since the horror is based around the theme, sound and story rather then jump scares.

  • @eiadtarabulsi
    @eiadtarabulsi 7 лет назад +2

    Both Torchlight games are really good, especially the first one. Given Runic Games' success with the Torchlight franchise I have some pretty high expectations when it comes to Hob. The game looks pretty and is vibrant. The controls work really well which is always important in any video game. The camera is an issue as is the game's FPS. There really isn't much when it comes to enemy variety. Despite a few wrinkles, I'm definitely going to give this game a shot. Thanks Karak for another awesome review!

    • @kyotheman69
      @kyotheman69 7 лет назад

      camera and fps drops does hurt the game, I'm probably going wait on this game and see if they patch up the issues, if not I'll wait on price cut

  • @lloydchristmas4547
    @lloydchristmas4547 6 лет назад +1

    This game has been on my Steam wish list since the beginning. The reason why I hesitate to get this beautiful, original, and well crafted game by a very reputable company is that I don't think I can handle running around alone without fighting for so long (though in the RPGs I play there are other things to interact with). Not a complaint; just what I'm thinking. Great review by the way. Thanks a lot. Bring on Torchlight Frontiers!

  • @MrX-nh4zl

    I never heard of this game before, but it looks awesome. For some reason, it gives me a bit of a Hyper Light Drifter vibe, and I loved that game, so I'll definitely consider buying this one.

  • @spiderjerusalem100

    What a great review! Nice job!
    I downloaded HoB last night and booted it up for a few minutes to see what it looks like and how it controls and I was so bummed I had to go to sleep! I can't wait to sit down with it and give it the time attention it definitely seems to deserve.
    Also, it sounds like you would absolutely love Rime. If you haven't played it yet, you must!

    It looks like a nice journey type of game. Also reminds me of Rime and the character looks like out of a Magicka game. Thanks for bringing this game to my attention, and good job on the review, as always!

  • @Valkris84KT
    @Valkris84KT 7 лет назад +2

    OMG, I had a good laugh at the "where's TL3 bit" LOL. I said that same line the first time I saw the trailer for Hob, glad to see Runic making games but damn I really wish they would have further developed TL2 with an expansion of some sort or a reliable multiplayer experience since the end game was pretty bland forcing you to MOD for Synergies.

      I know, right? I really hope Runic will go back to T3, imagine what they can pull off for this gen considering the jump up in scale and quality from T1 to T2!

    • @Largentina.
      @Largentina. 7 лет назад +10

      I live right across the street from their studio and about a month ago I saw Joseph at a coffee shop and asked them if Torchlight 3 was a thing. He looked right at me and smiled and said "well, for now, let's just say it's not not a thing." True story.

    • @ZiddersRooFurry
      @ZiddersRooFurry 7 лет назад +2

      After the debacle that is Torchlight mobile I can see them wanting to eventually bring a little respect back to their maligned IP. I think they just needed a break from arpg's.

    • @Jayy997
      @Jayy997 7 лет назад +1

      Torchlight 1 and 2 are some of the most boring and mind numbing action RPGs I've ever played. Hopefully they leave that whole series behind.

    @smitvaidya6614 7 лет назад +2

    I dont know but something about this game's art style seriously pisses me off. I have no idea what it is and have never really felt this way about a game's artstyle or the way one looks. I dont know if it is the camera angle or the shadows or the geometry of the environment or something else, but something seems incredibly off to me, hell my head was aching after just watching the review.

  • @samvimes9510
    @samvimes9510 7 лет назад

    Oh man, I forgot this was coming out. I never played Journey or Abzu, but they do look beautiful. I'm definitely going to pick this game up though, simply because I have complete faith in the devs and want to support them. If I end up falling in love with this sort of atmospheric puzzler genre, so be it.

    @GeekingWithKudabeybe 7 лет назад

    Why do I have a feeling this game is just an elaborate test of all the tools and mechanics that they will eventually use in Torchlight 3. Cos this game is priced quite reasonably for what you 'experience' and I am left with the feeling that there is a LOT more potential with what they can do with it.
