I didn't experience the games past so I got to played it from a fresh perspective. I am so happy this game exists, all the boss models and animations, assets, worlds, it would have been such a loss of art if this didn't exists. I just finished the main story (70 hour of playtime) and It keeps a nice pace. The fact that a friend can jump in at any point and help you out regardless of where they are in the story is also fantastic.
Wayfinder is very good. I bought it and a game called Inkbound because they abandoned live service models. Both were absolute delights to play through. I need to go back to Wayfinder as they've added new characters since I played.
I got this game a couple weeks ago after some of the artists whose work I follow started sharing their concepts and models for Wayfinder. I really loved Ruined King, so when I saw the visual direction here I was immediately sold. I'm having a ton of fun playing it (Kyros seems to be my jam) and I've convinced a few of my friends to give it a try too. I'm a game dev myself so I'm also very fascinated by this game's near-death experience. Coverage like your video here is great - thank you!
I always look forward to your videos, you do a great job documenting this stuff and commentating. Please stay inspired and keep making content, you've got the gift!
Thank you for this video! I was looking at Wayfinder back at release in hopes of getting a second Warframe to farm with friends. But the release really wasn't pretty. Now it looks like they made it more like a second Deep Rock Galactik, which sounds great to me. So thanks for putting it back on my radar!
When I first hear of this f2p game I just shrugged it off as another GaaS and moved on, a year later I see skill ups Austin do a re-review for it and after hear the dev story and how good it was. Went to ps store and put my money down right away. We need to support more devs like this to show others that good games still exist and are not just wallet milking garbage.
I appreciate any positive attention directed towards Wayfinder and its story of redemption as it is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time. However there are a lot of fundamental details regarding the launch and its failure with regards to Digital Extremes responsibility in that which are incorrect here. No offense to you as you may not have been as informed or following the game closely since the initial launch. But a lot of how badly DE fucked up is brushed off or just kind of ignored. For some reason in this case the general gamer populace has forgiven the publisher as if they did nothing wrong and somehow laid the blame on the developer alone. Airships original idea was way more of an MMO. DE pressured them to change to a Warframe like kind of game. DE were the ones who pushed for a MTX heavy live service game. DE were the ones responsible for the absolute shitfest that were the servers at launch. Their new CEO is also one known to have publicly opposed to their push into publishing. So essentially DE fucked up, their new CEO took over soon after launch and said fuck it we out and threw Airship Syndicate under the bus. DE then still left the game up for sale and continued collecting payments for the game for months until AS finally was able to gain control of it and removed it from sale. All that money went to DE as publisher of the game and since AS technically never finished the game they stopped receiving any milestone payments. Their behavior in this situation was so villainous and typical of publishers that it is honestly infuriating how easily they managed to slink their way out of their monumentally bad fuck up and allow all the anger and typical Gamer Rage to all be directed at Airship over this. Fuck Digital Extremes.
great to see a positive video, lately all videos about video games on internet are just hate slop, making me wonder are they gamers who love games or love hating games.
It's because drama attracts a lot of views. Many with those thumbnails with black, red, and white text are only interested in bandwagoning controversies.

just bought the game the other day and can't stop playing it. honestly never would've touched it if it had stayed live service.
Survival of the fittest in the live service world if you cant compeat with other games for whales and spenders its over
Love this video! Been having a lot of fun and hope they keep growing the game!
Hm maybe I will give a shot I think the only thing that did not get me is the player character design none of them get me to pump to get into it.
