    FINALLY SOMEONE RECOMMENDED THIS GAME!!!!
    I still play it to this day, and its kinda depressing seeing only 200 to 300 players online.
    Please let this game get the recognition it deserves.

    I remember waking up at 6 every weekend to play this with my friends until 10 in the morning when I was 13. And since we all got it as an free Xbox gold game, we all got better alongside each other. Those matches were probably some of the most fun and intense games I’ve ever played and this video really made me miss playing xbox in the morning with my friends.

    From the perspective of someone who has never played this game, This was a pretty good review. Covered all the pros and cons of this game as well as the hurdles that would be presented in trying to find enjoyment in this outside of certain situations. Solid breakdown of the core mechanics of the game as well as the implications without overexplaining each thing too specifically. The only thing that I think would have made this review better is if there was just a bit more time spent talking about how the workshop content worked and how open or limited creating levels for the game were as having a way to create content for a game can be a make-or-break for keeping some games alive. Overall, good work on this one. I would love to see more of these shorter reviews for hidden gem games.
    8/10 Can't wait for the next one.

  • @joshuatheawesome9440
    @joshuatheawesome9440 3 года назад

    This game, with a solid group of friends, is some of the most fun you can have gaming. Period.
    I wouldn’t recommend paying full price if you don’t have anyone to play with, but if you have even 1 or 2 friends to play with, this is a must-buy.

  • @Abyss10n
    @Abyss10n 3 года назад

    Yeah I got this game semi recently and was honestly surprised because I was like "Oh yeah this exists... why was this forgotten like 4 years ago???" It's really quite sad because this game just works really well it seems. I also think that this game is more "fighting" game feel than other racing games, which sounds weird but I have this similar idea for it as something like Lethal League Blaze though I suppose that one is more of an actual fighting game, but despite Speedrunners being a racing game, it feels a lot more agressive / competitive / violent in some ways that I would compare to fighting games! And basically what I am trying to imply is that your general audience might enjoy this a bit more than some others. I am glad you made a video about it, it does need more spotlight.

    While I think your review is very well done and I’m glad that someone’s bringing the game up , the lack of experience feels like it’s misinforming people , the games very different once you leave the beginner skill level , it’s incredibly laid back but the items don’t really play a role at all anymore and it feels much more competitive, I haven’t played in a year but I put 900 hours into it over the years and I have to say it’s an incredibly more fun game once you learn the basic mechanics like how the grapples relation to momentum works and curated workshop maps

    How I play this game:
    -Hey, it was pretty fast, nicely done, me!
    How others play this game:
    -There's this 3 squares-wide ramp on the ceiling, right? I'm going to use it to keep my mach 2 speed with the rainbow trail. While bouncing up and down for half the level.
    I'd like to mention that - if you're playing with somebody who DOES know the levels like the back of his hand - There's always an option to get a community-created level next. Or you know, just jump into the editor yourself.

    Speedrunners was a mainstay at my fighting game locals back in 2014. It was great, while people were waiting on a set or taking a break between games they could jump on speedrunners. Obviously fighting game players were the sort who enjoyed the depth and getting everything down, so pretty much everyone played it. Also amazing choice on the VA11 Hall-A music!

  • @sebastianlewis2235
    @sebastianlewis2235 3 года назад

    Speedrunners is a really cool game, and I have a few more recommendations:
    - Lethal League Blaze
    - Duck Game
    - Ultimate Chicken Horse
    - Gang Beasts
    and an early access that is really really cool: Play Ultrakill, is basically DmC meet Doom and Quake

  • @kevingriffith6011
    @kevingriffith6011 3 года назад

    I've always wondered why we don't have racing platformers, or at least when we *do* get them they're always unpolished side modes of other games. Naturally the sub-genre has a lot of kinks that need to be worked out before it could be considered workable, and I do think that Speedrunners actually does a good job in places (Like solving the "what if a player falls so far behind they're entirely beyond hope of recovering" problem) but I feel like there's so much more you could do with it.

    By the way, I'm too busy moving my queen back in time to take your king's bishop's pawn on turn 2, creating a parallel dimension where the only legal move is to recapture with the king thus ensuring I have a mate in 3 or less. This 5D Chess game makes simple monkey brains go "????????" so fast that it separates the super brains from the monkey brains even if they're grandmasters at Chess (no joke Hikaru Nakamura literally couldn't get it in 30 minutes of study and he directly competes with Magnus Carlsen)
