- Another Crab's Treasure reviewed by Travis Northup on PC, also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Another Crab’s Treasure is one of my favorite soulslikes in quite some time. It borrows a lot from the usual genre playbook, but adds a colorful, irresistibly charming, and wholly unique veneer that makes it all feel brand spanking new. The story is well-written and filled with memorable moments and characters, the shell-swapping mechanic is unique and adorable as heck, and the unrelentingly cheerful mood is like finding land after years adrift in an angsty sea of Bloodborne imitators. Its combat isn’t the deepest ocean around and it has a bit of jank here and there, but Another Crab’s Treasure is so clever and wonderfully ridiculous that it’s absolutely worth your time.
So the hardest enemy is the camera? A true souls-like indeed
When you only need to dodge one last round of attacks so you can kill the boss
😂
They fixed it
'Had me grinning throughout my 20 hour tour of the ocean floor.' Just picturing this guy, smile spread wide like a madman alone in a darkened room for twenty hours.
Haha "haha crab haha"
honestly what a moron
welcome to gaming
Is this not what gaming is about
@@Grey-The-Skeleton Boo bad take. This is exactly what gaming is about.
"anytime you 'see-an-enemy'" was very clever
Yess
Whoever wrote that joke deserves a raise
glad to see this comment
"It does flounder a bit in the second act"
The score is 8
The score is 7
@@Derbster1981 The score doesn't exist.
Because everyone was clamouring for the score for this game 🙄

Your comment should not be slept on.

The game has lots of bugs? No they're crabs not bugs.
SHRIMPS IS BUGS
So...sea bugs then?🤷🏾♂️
It's a Soulslike for everyone. Being easy is a little expected
Is it actually easy? Or just easier than other soulslikes?
@@nothingtoseehere309Not actually easy but easier than most soulslike
@@nothingtoseehere309 2-3 hours in. Not "easy" easy, but definitely easier than other more serious soulslikes.
@@nuspy "serious" 😉
Soulslike shouldnt be expected to be easy
Sekiro with a hermit crab? Sold.
Everyone Keep in mind this was made by a very small company. :)
So? Pretty damn impressive for a small team.
@@inoodlesi4459that was literally his point.
@@inoodlesi4459He's referencing the bug and camera problems should get a pass because it was a small team.👍
@@inoodlesi4459 are you slow?
@mick2287 Made it sound like "Ignore the issues or whatever, made by a small team." Like an excuse. Its text. They don't have a voice or tone my guy.
Dark Souls, an incomprehensible game about fantasy nonsense: unremittingly grim and punishing
Another Crab's Treasure, a game about the real life tragedy of our oceans being destroyed by junk: a fun and lighthearted romp
When a souls crab joke turns into a full game
Great review. Love the idea of a bright and colorful souls-like, wanna see more like it!
Mr. Krabs the video game
CAN YOU FEEL IT MR KRABS?
Mr krabs skin is also in the game.
It seems like elden ring and SpongeBob: battle for bikini bottom got mixed up accidentally and they created this Masterpiece.
Lol you managed to some how get the titles of both games you were referencing wrong and I'm not sure if that was intentional or a genuine mistake 😅😅😅
The fact that this scored higher than stellar Blade is Hilarious and sold me
We all know why these liberals scored Stellar Blade so low.
Because the characters are nothing more than eye candy and unable to be invested in, according to the review anyway. The character does seem boring though @@CasepbX
@@CasepbXjokerliberals.mp3
@@CasepbXoriginal is more fun than eye candy bub
@@CasepbXBecause it's bland and the character design is generic? Yeah.
The dialogue in this game is hilarious. Also "the sands between" as an easter egg to Elden Ring was cute
This might be the first souls like with an actual Soul... so creative, stylized, colorful, congrats!
"lack of challenge" litterally the game is freaking hard asf
It’s not hard for them since they play these types of games on a daily basis
Sounds like if the bugs got ironed out it would be a 9
Did they?
@@domin8tion651 it's still a bit buggy but it used to be worse
Dark Shells: prepare to drown edition
Lol, great remark.
Its Shoals-like gameplay has won me over.
This was absolutely one the best puns for this game
This just makes me wish Goat Simulator 3 had a Soulslike mode.
Ever closer to a SpongeBob soulslike.
Story in Sponge bob world as dlc would be spectacular
Crabsouls, my favorite 😋🦀
3:53 That shell looks a little sus…
Not funny didnt laugh 💀
Actually this is completely natural evolution for Souls, every game in that series has so many crabs... Elden Ring too
Eben in real life, everything keeps evolving into crabs, the calcification is a real thing
Shellden ring
please play going under, it’s created by the same company!!
“Any time you see an enemy”.
Don’t you mean sea anemone?
Objectively the best clever comment 😂
😐
An 8 for this game is absolutely wild lmao. Im playing it and enjoying it, but an 8? Not a chance.
Please elaborate
Loved this game. It was actually refreshing to play an easy Soulslike for once. The only real downside to that was the endgame wasn’t a challenge at all, and the last several bosses were incredibly easy.
So this is better than stellar blade?
This game kinda reminds me of biomutant. The only game that's going to be remembered for years is stellar blade.
@@ShinKamaitachiBecause the game is supported by a cult of coomers?😂
Of course not for everyone, lol. These are different genres.
Is that so hard to imagine?
Yes🗿
wdym “lack of challenge” im fighting for my life bro :(
its like "my first soulslike" one that's not going to kill me & frustrate me at every given opportunity.
Parry with a can already sold me
Can’t IGN just let me find out the ending is disappointing on my own? Not that the ending is all that important but it still is a bit of a bummer if you haven’t played the game yet.
As someone who is playing Sekiro for the first time and has been stuck on the Owl for almost 8 hours I'm here for this before Shadow of the Erdtree.
Mans got hiS priority
So we got Lies of P, then Rise of P (Stellar Blade) and now Lies of Sea (taken name from other comment below
10/10 Hands Down
That final boss battle was fire!
It’s on gamepass!
Just found that out watching the video on phone and it’s downloading. Sounds like a plan
Seems awesome enough to buy and play! Most indie and all nature games belong in my collection
It reminds me of Little mermaid if Sebastian was a short swinging lunatic talking about under the sea🎶
Newcomers: aw. This game looks cute and awesome.
Dark Souls/Elden Ring/Bloodborne/Sekiro victims: Oh hell nah!!
Just finished this game. It was amazing. Favorite game of the year so far. Beat DS1, 2, 3, and Elden Ring. This game is NOT that easy. Easier than some of the Dark Souls? Sure. At some points. Some of the bosses here took me 20+ tries. It's not just a breeze. It was just the right amount of challenging.
It is, for all intents and purposes, time for crab
Is that an Among Us shell at 3:09?!?!?
Yes! 😎
Yup! Not even the silliest shell available, heh.
Reminds me of Mortal Shell but as a light-hearted and even comedic at times, SpongeBob-esque version.
Mortal shell 2 looks sick
there's a little something for everyone
Really fun review! Fun and well written and acted!!
Just Downloaded.....thanks Game Pass ! 🔥 🦀 🗡️
Is it already available??
@@Luristjem It is now.
Can you unlock a Foxy Grandpa hat?
Show us the whole game why don't ya
parrying isnt sweaty its a fun thing to learn for almost every game.
Catch that when he said when "you see an enemy." Like (sea anemone)! Huh, huh!? 🤪 Lol
Game of the year?
I’m deeply confused by all the reviews today. Sandland 6/10, Stella Blade 7/10 and this is 8/10?
Maybe because it subjective and having jiggle physics may not make a game better?
They dont compare the games so its always a fair review.
What about the eel with the shaking microphone? Cool fight.
How do you exit the game? Pressing escape does not bring up options.
This almost looks like something double fine would make.
Does this game play like 3D Mario games like Banjo Kazooie, Conkers Bad Fur, A Hat in time? Or more like a Souls game?
The Combat feels like a Soulsgame and the jump and Run parts feel Like if you gave Yoshi a hookshoot
You said simplistic but what you described doesn't seem simplistic
Big win for those who love sweet and fun. Might buy a Nintendo just to play it; and that's a sign of "well done."
“In years”. Lords of the fallen, Lies of P and No rest for the wicked laugh at you.
This game was fantastic
so, ur telling me this game is the same score as lies of p?
Stellar blade got a 7 💀
Different types of game bud
They are both very much souls like games.
How can a game about a crab who doesn't even make me hard get an 8? IGN is cooked.
Anything 3rd person = "Soulslike"
@@saintsalieri💀💀💀
OMG, this looks amazing.
It's sad no one talks about the message. We need to recycle more.
It got a 8...better than Stellar Blade and Rise of the ronin 💀
As it should
When a game is $70 like Stellar Blade, it gets compared with the greatest games of all time while this game is only $30, so the standards are lower.
Game is still full of bugs and lag on xbox series x btw
Does IGN even play these games from beginning to end?
Looks like absolute crab
First Under the boardwalk movie now a game about hermit crabs. What the hell
He didnt even get into the FIRE soundtrack🔥🔥🔥
Pls make your videos in 4k. Its quite pathetic that in 2024 ign still 1080p quality
The game is not entirely underwater.
new fav videgeogame havent enjoyed gaming so much since this one
The callback to Gyoubu in Sekiro in the form of a lobster was truly unexpected 😅
people who write for IGN manage to be boring while trying to be clever and uninformative while trying to cover everything
Shoals-like
GAMPASS DAY 1!
Game pass ruined gaming
Will the New Zealand trick work?
Gonna have so much fun with this!
@@KingJohnMichaelWhy ?
Time to speedrun this crab
"Even the best moments do occasionally get dragged down by bugs and wonkyness, including camera angles suddenly going wacky on you or your poor crustaceans cephalothorax getting caught inside the environment"
Ummmmm have you ever played Dark Souls? lol
*Battle for Bikini Bottom: Soul Crushing Edition* 😂
Ah, yes. Wonderfully ironic.
sand lands gets a 6 stellar blade gets a 7 only right another crab got a 8.....
Maybe jiggle physics doesn't make a game that much better?
8/10. Called it before clicking on the video...
Better than Stellar Blade and available on game pass day 1!
Firth should have been voiced by David Firth. Missed opportunity
Was beginning to get tired of the nautical puns, but “see an enemy” (sea anemone) at 2:58 reeled me back in
So better than Stellar Blade?
Mr Krabs origin story.
*Licence to Krill* 🦀
This game is decent. Don’t expect a lot from it
Shrimps is bugs
This game seems to borrow A LOT from Alice : Madness Returns (2011)
Loved this game but it's worth noting the switch version performance is really bad.
Oh sweet they said its better than stellar blade. I'll get this instead
