The Voice, the dialogue, the jokes.... Have I encountered a reviewer whose wit can rival that of Escapist's powerhouse Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw? I need more of this man.
“Quest Log, what is best in a platformer collect-a-thon?” “Things to jump on and collect, simple and intuitive controls, and a collection of funny hats!”
If this guy is writing as well as voicing this video yall need to get him on some other escapist Shows Asap, would love to see more video essays or discussions with him in it
He's been on a bunch of 3MRs already, he's been on streams, and we're funding his own livestream series, Wishlist, right now via the Super Chats on our streams!
2:40 - Danish?! DANISH?!!? Forsooth! 'Tis a *Swedish* ball and not a flaky pastry from the red and white! Villages have been pillaged to the ground for less.
Countryballs being made into a game is kinda odd given how much nasty shit people love to say using them. That said, I used to be into Omskbird so I'm not perfect either.
The reddit community is pretty chill, just using it for historical or current event memes. The chan ones where it originates though, can certainly be racist trash.
I just stumbled upon this video and can say that i'm very surprised by the quality of the script and the game, I'll surely check it out. You sir, are a very underrated reviewer.
Sir ... I dont know you and you dont know me but sir ... I will try to follow your style on my debate persona ... You are amazing I hope to hear more of your reviews.
I was holding my breath and passed out mid-review for some mention of the fact these are the countryballs famous in particular for the comics featuring polandball
an arbitrary distinction at best, meant to skirt the whole "conflict of interests" thing. face it, if it was a movie reviewer doing a "reaction livestream" (therefore not a review) of themselves watching the latest marvel movie, but it was sponsored by marvel, people would be raging right now. its still a loophole, and its still what the kids would call "a bad look." im not trying to bring down the hammer of judgment on escapist though, its just kinda surprising is all.
@@chronicbrightside8757 how is it arbitrary when its very distinction is what sets it apart? Quests Logs are discussions and not marks on the games we talk about. Your analogy misses the mark. It's like a movie reviewer getting sponsored by Marvel to have a discussion about storyboarding, composition, plot structure, etc of one of their movies. By your standards, all reviews are bought and paid for because most game reviews on the internet were given the game for free. Most people monetize their reviews. Your distinction between formats and idea of conflict of interest is arbitrary.
@@pitzo5555 I can't find a list but at about 1:05 it flashes a map of them ruclips.net/video/k6BH-s61nuQ/видео.html It looks like all country flags can be used and there's extra variant flags that can be unlocked too like the Roman Centurion
Was this made with the cooperation of the countryball/polandball etc. community, or did a company scoop up the IP created by the community's hard work and creativity over the years and just start selling it?

At last some decided to ask 'what if Countryballs but with competent gameplay and world design instead of weirdly intense racism?'
Maybe a toggle for weirdly intense racism

I like your energy haha the big ball from 2:34 - 2:39 is Danish (White cross on red)
The one at 2:43 is the yellow cross on blue

Yeah, I'm a little disturbed that this game seems to sweep the right-wing nationalistic origins of this meme under the rug.

@@muddystick It's a good concept, regardless of the origins. Why are you disturbed anyway?
the countryball community is pretty big and varied, you can't demonize the entirety of it for a nasty branch; it has good communities in every country
@@muddystick The current community is very relaxed an politically neutral, so it's not a wonder at all
Sir, those puns were **a chef's kiss** spot on, I salute You ;D
at 1:33 i spit out my drink, i love this guy
Now THAT was a script right there
I just stumbled upon this video and can say that i'm very surprised by the quality of the script and the game, I'll surely check it out. You sir, are a very underrated reviewer.
Sebastian, you sir are solid gold 🙏 Loved this piece and I'm glad you had a good time ☺️ Cheers man 🍻
Amazing writing, as always. Keep it up!
You missed the perfect opportunity with the title: Bang on balls: chronicles; a charming colorful platformer that has us by the balls
Frost you magnificent poet you. That was moving. And a game about a webcomic too
Review had me rolling. Cute characters for a game! Always loved polandball(countryball) comics.
But one thing this game must answer is
Can Polan into space?
yes if you play the space race as polandball flag bob :)
Stay frosty
Forest Gumball, awesome review
fantastic video! So well written and delivered! 👍
This was an in depth and hilarious review. Great reviewer. Subscribed.
Well, this was a lovely review, well done. I'm considering buying the game
This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen. Bravo! 👏👏
*cries in lack of PC*

Lovley review! 💗
wow this games looks and sounds amazing also the writing is as top notch as the voiceover this review was delightful
I was holding my breath and passed out mid-review for some mention of the fact these are the countryballs famous in particular for the comics featuring polandball
now that's some commentary !
A review of a game sponsored by the game being reviewed though?
Quest Logs aren't reviews

can you only play as britain ball?
You can change your ball's nationality
@@TheOtherFrost is there a list online on which balls are available to play as?
