@@N51totallynotprivatemilitary the funny thing is that jerma said almost exactly the same about the same game lol. "humans aren't meant to be doing this!" and/or guguda guguda
okay so, since you're playing ULTRAKILL, here's some hints: -Using only one weapon/weapon mod makes your "weapon freshness" go down, which can half/negate the amount of style you gain from killing enemies, so use _every_ gun/gun mod while in combat. -if an enemy flashes yellow, that means their attack can be parried at close range(although, some enemies are harder than others). for example, Malicious Faces flash yellow before launching that lazer blast, and hitting them will deal damage and negate the attack. Filth melee attacks can also be parried. -those enemies you dislike have their heads on their shoulders, so shoot the shoulders for maximum damage. -coin shots automatically target weakpoints, like head/limbshots and certain enemies' weaknesses(see above, the guy with the shoulder-heads). -certain enemies are weaker/stronger against specific weapons, so pay attention to their descriptions. -speaking of descriptions, you should *probably* read them for more tips with certain enemies. -Cybergrind graphics can be customized with _any image file_ from your computer. do with that what you will. that's it for now! if you decide to keep playing this game, keep these hints in mind! you've REALLY got the hang for it, surprisingly- love your vids, and i can't wait for the next one!
ok not every weapon, there are 2 weapons that are not good, the green railcannon and the alternate marksman (coin gun). the green railcannon is bad because its not hitscan like the other versions of the railcannon, the damage output is slow and the only thing good is for healing. the alternate marksman is hated cause it cant multi-shot (splits your shot into 2 and hit 2 enemies at the same time) and its inconsistent meaning you cant constantly use coins cause the shots are slow adn there is prob. even more re4asons why its bad but thats all that i can think of
@@idiotic_tl_4837 it doesnt mean you cannot use the alt marksman, this is a game where user play to their own will of playstyle, hating on it just completely ignore that basis, and it’s good if you cannot time the splitshot The green railcannon is good for bosses because it heal and it deal more damage than the blue and red railcannon overrall, + it could be going infinitely if you parry the drill to another enemy
6:06 “but i can destroy you normally, i don’t have to parry” that’s what i thought at first, but this game is so fun you end up going for parries because it’s stylish
I have 200 hours on this game. I have completed everything the game has to offer multiple times over. and I'm still not that good compared to other players. the skill ceiling on this game is insane
I feel like my brain is just gonna stop getting surprised by the games Merg plays on his channel. Every day it passes, just gets more and more unpredictable, which is appreciated, cool to see he trying to keep variety.
I think that Merg focuses on what he thinks would be entertaining instead of what he thinks would get the most views & stuff like that, which I really like.
Tip: You can parry almost anything in the game (including the shotgun's primary fire) and if there's a yellow flash it means you need to be at close range to be able to parry the attack (like Malicious Face's beam or the Swordmachine's sword).
"Friendship ended with PIZZA TOWER, I'm P'ing all over the ULTRAKILL now" - Merg's totally exact thought process I will never unhear him saying "SEX MACHINE" out loud though without years of therapy
This was so cool merg. Here's some very useful tips to become *god*. I know this might look a bit overwhelming, but I think you should really check out the style and the shotgun sections specifically *STYLE* - There is a weapon freshness bar below your style. Pay attention to that. If you use the same weapon/weapon mod for too long, you won't be getting ANY style from it. The multiplier there shows how much style you're getting. Switch weapons and weapon mods very frequently and you'll be styling on 'em - Switching weapons frequently is essential for being stylish, But moving around at high speeds and parrying stuff is also very important :) - You can parry almost EVERYTHING in this game. Every projectile, the melee attacks of the "frogs" :) and boss attacks with a yellow flash can be parried to deal them a lot of damage. Also, you instantly heal to max hp when you parry. *SHOTGUN* - The shotgun is extremely powerful. Try punching immediately after shooting it and see what happens ;) - Hold down shoot and press "E" rhythmically to switch weapon mods. You'll be firing MUCH quicker and dealing enormous damage. - You CAN use the overpump explosion of the shotgun. The dash gives you invulnerability, so dash just before exploding it and you'll completely negate the damage ;) - You might have noticed, but malicious faces die extremely quickly to point-blank range shotgun shots. They die to it in 3 hits. So, get up close and personal to those bois and blast them in the face >:) *MARKSMAN REVOLVER* - The coin is the single most complex thing in the game, which creates many opportunities for combos. But they're also kinda difficult to use, so don't get upset if you can't get the hang of them yet. - Try getting a hang of the trajectory of the coin. When you're moving, the trajectory of the coin will be different. For example, if you're moving sideways, the coin will also go sideways. If you're going forwards or backwards, so will the coin - When an enemy is charging up their projectile, shooting a coin at the right moment can make them go *BOOM.* - EVERY hitscan bullet will ricochet off of the coins. Even things such as the yellow explosive projectiles of malicious faces. The bullets will increase in damage with each coin. Keep this in mind when you unlock a certain superweapon ;) *WEAPON SYNERGY* - In this game, almost all weapons have some kind of interaction with others. For example, you can shoot the grenades of your shotgun with your revolver, which makes them create a huge explosion. You might wanna experiment in the sandbox, as there's so much to be discovered, and the game doesn't really teach you those things. Of course, you don't have to learn everything immediately. Take it slow. I wish you good luck with ultrakilling
Also Merg don't forget to always read the Tip of the Day in the terminal at the beggining of every single level, the hints there are pretty helpful and may teach new tech for you to do. For example try parrying your OWN shotgun shots, shoot and immediately punch
No way, Merg actually played Ultrakill, dude, this is the best day of my life, THANK YOUUUU Here is a tip if you want : If your planning to continue this playthrough, try to shoot ur shotgun and then immediately press f to punch, it will make the shotgun bullet explosive I have to edit this comment so many times dude wth
I doubt you'll read this, but this game has crazy strategies & synergies, and coin gun is probably one of the best weapons, but its hard to use :) As for some tips, the coin you throw have the same momentum as you had when you threw it, so if you're walking left and throwing a coin, the coin will be thrown left . You can chain coins, the more coins you chain, the harder the redirected shot will hit You can deflect a charged shot from the revolver on a coin, and thus you can coin-chain with a charged shot =) Actually, the overcharge on the green shotgun can be good because as the game said, you cant take damage while dashing You can parry most of the attacks by melee-ing (even melee attacks or boss attacks) You can parry ... your own shotgun shots . (Shooting with a shotgun and punching just after will parry your bullets, accelerate them and make them explosive) You can shoot the core from the core ejector shotgun thingy There might be some tech idk about the crazy red pistol cuz I didn't even know it was in the game You can punch your coins, they will go right into an ennemy's weakpoint, deal damage, bounce and if you shoot it, its damage multiplier will be bigger If an ennemy's charging an attack and you shoot it at the righr timing, it'll explode There are also many movement tips, but I'll pass on these ones for now If a challenge seems impossible, its because this game has MANY tricks (or there might just be a way around it) Style is designated by how much you use different weapons, if you're moving while shooting, or in the air, if you're parrying attacks etc ... This game can be REALLY HARD ... but it is hella fun Musics are bangers Welp, I think that's it for now, you do not have to know everything to even finish the game (for now at least), but it makes the game more fun & fluid IMO. Anyways, I'll try giving more tips on future episodes, see ya Edit : another trick (I don't even know if it is a usebug or nah) is that you can shotgun swap, which means shooting with a shotgun, swapping to the other and you should be able to shoot again, that way you shkip the reloading animation
Fun fact about the coin revolver:you can bounce ANY hitscan projectile (the only one you have rn is the revolver shot the shotgun doesn't count) meaning you can utilize the charge shot of the piercer to bounce off the coin and it does more damage (coin mechanics are very interesting and complex if I were to tell you about dead coining we would be here a while)
Hey Merg! I'm glad you like this game, it's one of my favorites, and there are some tips you can use, mostly for style. -Below your ranking you can see a meter that changes depending of how much you have used your current weapon in a row. Switch weapons when it reaches Dull to ensure getting more style points -You read this at the beginning of a level, but dashes make you briefly invulnerable to damage. If you time it right, you can use the pump charge's explosion without taking damage, but it's pretty hard so there's no need to use it now. -Don't worry about using points on weapons, that's one of the main things you use them for apart from customizing colors -You can parry almost anything (like you did with the bullets), you actually did it with some enemies but didn't notice. If it doesn't have a blue flash before the attack (for example, the flamethrower guys had a blue flash before attacking) you can probably parry it by punching just when the enemy attacks you. Also, try to parry your own shotgun when you fire it (any of the two) if you think you can get the timing right, that might help on some hard bosses, but again, the timing is hard. I hope that helped at least a little bit, love your videos!
Quick addon to the last one: Any attack that flashes yellow can be parried if you punch the enemy at the right time. Also, if you swap between both shotgun variants at the right time, you can basically cancel their windup and chain rapid-fire shotgun shots.
All those no-hit Genocide Runs are finally gonna pay off. Super hype to see you playing this game, I'm not even into fps games, but this one managed to still be SUPER fun for me
Hearing Merg's voice with a game like Ultrakill, now that's unique! Also, tip: There's going to be a LOT of movement techniques in the game. some of them are pretty esoteric, so you might have to look up some of them...
Wow. Like actually wow I'm so excited and surprised to see you play this. Can't wait for you to experience the slightly more "difficult" levels as well. Good luck!
Saw this in notifications and dropped everything I was doing and immediately clicked to watch the video. Absolutely love ULTRAKILL. This game will drive you insane in the best way possible.
Some tips; You're able to use your dash when you overcharge your shotgun to avoid the damage of the explosion entirely, while still blowing up enemies. Basically all projectiles are able to be parried. While most weapons are hitscan (fires an instant ray that does not count as a projectile), your shotgun's own shells count as projectiles which can be parried, as do coins. Coins don't just reflect your Marksman Revolver's bullets. Anything that's hitscan (the charge shot from the Piercer and the ricochet shot from the other revolver) are also able to bounce off of coins.
About the Pump Shotgun Explosion: I've never done this myself, but you can use the dash's invincibility to dash through your own explosion if you time it right. Dash then shoot, and you should take no damage.
If you make it explode in front of you you can't dash thru it, but you can if it's like above/below you but it's very tricky. It's easier if you dash behind while you do the explosion.
I used to watch your channel like 7 years back for a few years, found you through geometry dash but also watched some of your Undertale stuff at the time. Recently I've been playing quite a bit of ultrakill and with that also watched a lot of ultrakill videos. And somehow I found this video and the nostalgia is crazy, I'm gonna have to go back and watch some of your older stuff I missed now lol. Also NEVER played Undertale myself but just picked it up from steam summer sale and I'll finally try playing it soon now. Idk why I'm commenting this is just felt so happy being reunited with a channel I haven't watched in years. Love you man keep doing you! ❤
Thank you so much for playing this Merg! I've been kinda obsessed with this game for the past 2 months and it's nice to see you finally start playing it as well!
Awesome to see more people playing this game! Also three thing about coins: 1. They are thrown based on what movements key you are pressing and where you look. Walk back and throw and you'll get a high and close coin. Forward, far but low. Move left or right, they'll fly respectively. It very consistent once you become aware 2.If you shoot it when it flashes or when it start whistling (After being in the air for a while) it will split into two shot that target different enemies (Both can't shoot the same target and only works with the revolver) 3. kinda spoils the fun but it might not dawn on you. Its down below Coins bounce all hitscan attacks. ANY AND ALL. Not just your own.
HOLY MOLY THIS CANNOT BE REAL One of my favorite games of all time, and one of my favorite youtubers of all time. This has to be a recipe for perfection. Chaos too. But also perfection. I'm gonna enjoy this :>
Great video! ULTRAKILL is amazing and I hope you'll continue this playthrough. Here are some tips if you do, because this game has a lot of depth. - Your shotgun pellets are projectiles, you can parry them. - If you want the explosion from the green shotgun without taking damage, you can do it while dashing, since you're invincible while dashing. - I recommend trying to get better with the green revolver variant (The one with the coins), as it's easily the most powerful tool in the game when you know what you're doing. - Parrying fully restores your health and stamina. Hope this helps! And I hope this isn't too much information at once, sorry if it is.
Can't wait to see Merg P-ranking Ultrakill levels in a few weeks just like pizza tower. Edit: I watched the entire video and Merg, you are a natural at this game. It's soo cool seeing you try out combos and things. Here's some tips for you: You can charge your pump shotgun 2 times and the press the Melee button (F) and press left click at the same time to punch your own shotgun shells. Also with the coin gun, you can throw all 4 coins at once in the air and shoot to get extra damage. also like the shotgun, you can punch the coin when it flickers.
Some more tips -If you time a dash perfectly, you won't take any damage from pumping your shotgun too much, but it'll still damage enemies around you. -Use your variants! You're almost expected to swap between variants as prolifically as you swap weapons, if not more. -You can melee any shotgun, without pumping it, to boost the main shell forwards as if you parried it. This gives tons of style points. -You can chain the secondary shots of the other pistols off the coins, along with certain other weapons you'll find later in the game Ultrakill is fundamentally a game progressed via experimentation. If you get an inkling of "Now does this work..." chances are it does. Try things out, and you'll be P-Ranking levels in no time.
Here are some helpful Tips: 1. The sharpshooter bullets will bounce more times the longer the gun in spun, capping at 3 bounces after 1 second. The bullets have mild aim assist when they bounce, so your trajectory can be slightly off and still hit. 2. The sharpshooter only does more damage than the piercer if you hit at least one ricochet and will gain more hits for every bounce. No bounce means 2 hits, 1 bounce means three, 2 bounces hits cap at four, 3 bounces still caps at four. 3. Utilizing the piercing and bouncing of the sharpshooter, you can hit an enemy up to 26 times by firing perpendicular to 2 parallel walls. This can hit any amount of enemies so long as they are in the bullet's path. 4. The sharpshooter will cause projectiles fired by enemies to explode on contact. 5. The marksman coin will inherit your momentum, meaning as long as you stay at a constant speed and direction, aiming to hit it will require the same mouse movement. 6. Assume all attacks are parriable unless it is preceded by a blue flash (there are very few exceptions to this) 7. Try to play more aggressively, staying away from your health source (blood) will only kill you Edit: 8. The answer to the exploding shotgun is to dash immediately before firing. This gives you i-frames, negating all damage and knockback.
ain no way our prayers worked Good to see merg playing one of the best games ever made. A tip, dont read what other people tell you to do, discover the game by yourself and dont be afraid of playing the game the wrong way in the eyes of others, if its fun for you, ultrakill has done its charm
It sucks that Health - Hateful made the video get a copyright strike, but I really really appreciate you Merg for avoiding just removing the audio from that section of the video and choosing to keep the video having the full experience instead, best youtuber.
Another banger of a game! I haven't played Ultrakill and didn't watch that many videos of it but it does look extremally fun. Would love to see a full series 👍
Merg, I warn you even though you are the strongest man i know, Perfect Running everything here will be an absolute *hell* of a challenge. I recently just beat every level including the secret ones and it had literally made me sick for the rest of the night so uhh have fun merg
Very great start! I was expecting this to come after pizza tower, hope you can bring more of this awesome game! Also Wisp's times haunting you after every level is gonna be funny for a bit lmao
Now please try out BPM next! The next level of rhythm fps gaming! Addicting as hell. I 100% it too. I never 100% a game but I did somehow. That includes NO HIT RUN too
First off: i LOVE the fact you are playing ULTRAKILL. but what i love even more is how you READ the terminals and texts, i see so many people either not even taking the time to read or just aren't even looking at the messages in the game. As a guy with over 200 hours in this game i really have to say im filled with pride, emotion and absolute thrill to see how you continue your ULTRAKILL journey (if you choose to of course) my biggest piece of advice would be to ask yourself: "Can i do ____?" because most of the time, the game not only lets you do ____, it actively encourages you to, you can also familiarize yourself with the community and the memes, wich is always a good time, but you'll probably get spoiled a big chunk of the game and it's most complex and wonderfull layers of storytelling and fantastic semi-hidden mechanics that are just waiting to be discovered, anyways i really do hope you have a wonderful time with this game because as outlandish as it may seem right now at the beginning, this game is a MASTERPIECE (i'm talking Pizza Tower levels of masterpiece) you just need to get into the game's flow and you'll be scoring P-ranks Like a madman, and having a BLAST. (again like Pizza Tower hehe) Regards, and much luv
Hey Merg!Glad to see you made a series on this game bc I was interested in it for a long time and couldn't find any proper playthroughs!All though,untill I buy it,can you pretty please read the whole descriptions of enemies bc I am really interested in the lore behind them!I hope you are enjoying the game! :)
this upload is so crazy me and a friend started playing ultrakill a week ago and now you're playing it! Great to see that you're still doing diverse content merg!
Glad you’re checking this out! Hope you have fun if you want to play it for the channel or on your own time :) I do recommend you read through the enemy entries and strategies within them, I’ll just say that all variants have a purpose! Keep experimenting!
The absolute IMMENSE amount of happiness I felt when I saw this in my feed is IMMEASURABLE You're gonna love this game :) EDIT: I'll give you a funny little hint for the secret level in the Prelude... find a blue skull and put it on the blue podium, trust me it's nothing wicked :)
Advanced weapon combo tips to increase style: -coins will always follow your current velocity. so long as you don't change your current direction and speed, you can reliably shoot your coins with proper timing -You can punch your shotgun bullets to make a makeshift rocket launcher -Swap your shotgun variation immediately after firing to cancel the shotgun reload animation -If you shoot your core eject with the revolver, you can create a larger, more damaging explosion -Shoot your piercer or sharpshooter shot into coins to get an Ultraricoshot bonus -Shoot your coins during a flash or if you hear the coin 'sing' to split your bullets and hit more enemies. spamming all four coins at once will get five guaranteed headshots -punch your coin to headshot the nearest enemy
I never expected this video, since I also love ultrakill! Thank you so much for playing this game, not only is it nice seeing more youtubers play this game, you are bringing more people to play the game so thank you so much merg!
A point of advice for the future, Merg. This ENTIRE game is full of moments where you ask "Can I do this?" And the answer is almost always yes. If ever you have a crazy idea like, for instance, punching forward with melee at the exact same time you fire your shotgun, yes...that does something and it's amazing. This game encourages trying new weapons and their variants, and roping them into your arsenal to become an unstoppable killing machine, so don't be afraid to try any crazy ideas that may pop into your head.
Genuinely excited for this, you have no idea. I hope you have fun with this game Merg! Edit: Just a quick tip: You can parry a very large amount of stuff that the game throws at you, even some melee attacks! Not to mention, that you'll actually heal and regain your stamina upon a successful parry. The FOV makes it a little hard to time, but parrying is worth it if you're able to!
Never expected to see one of my favorite undertale ytber legit play my new fav game its the combo of the century! Heres a fun tip for you to use. You can parry your own shotgun shot and its very "stylish". Youll have to fire your shotgun then punch it almost immediately after the shot. Speaking of style your supposed to combo your weapons with the others as they can interact with eachother. E.g. throwing a coin then firing a charged piercing shot at it. Never uae the same weapon for too long. If youve noticed it yet, theres a bar saying "fresh weapon bonus" as you use the same weaoon for longer the more "stale" it becomes which lowers you style gain. Moving fast also helps with style up to x3 gain, you may gain this multiplier via being in midair and sliding. Every projectile thats about to be fires can be parried, there will be a yellow "flash" that telegraphs this, a blue flash will mean it is not parryable. Goodluck with the future levels champ!
nice! though, you should try switching variants and weapons constantly, that will give you the most style out of anything, because your multiplier stays high, its the little thing below the style meter that says things like "dull", "used", "fresh", etc
I'm really excited for you to continue this, Ultrakill is one of my favorite games, also quick lil tip if you time it right and punch right after you shoot your shotgun you'll parry the pellets and send them to the enemies with same day shipping, it also makes them explosive its called a projectile boost!
I never expected you to try this game out, but seeing you play it is amazing! Experimentation is key in this game. A lot of weapons have mechanics that synergize with each other, and no weapon is truly bad as they all do something different. For example the sharpshooter and the piercer have a similar alt fire, but the sharpshooter ricochet shot has the same base damage as the primary fire but does more damage with each ricochet whereas the piercer alt fire does more damage than the primary fire by default. They both pierce targets but both still have unique qualities that make one better to use than the other depending on the situation. There is lots more to discover once you get further into the game and unlock the remaining weapons. I hope to see you play ULTRAKILL some more!
bro i was literally trying terraria calamity for first time not long ago and i just realized that the crackshot colt is a reference to ultrakill, 4 coins at a time, same sound, same mechanic, just as badass
YOOO, Merg playing Ultrakill?! This is amazing, definitely unexpected as hell. Would be amazing if this gets turned into a full-on playthrough. Have fun, dude! (☆▽☆)
Merg you can parry your own shotgun shells with careful timing and you can fire, press e, then fire again, then press e, this is to rapid fire the shotgun. Also you can use core eject and shoot it to explode it, and later in the game you get a powerful weapon which causes a huge explosion when you shoot the core eject
If you look carefully at the style/combo-meter, at the bottom of the meter you can see 2 multipliers One which goes up to 3 times depending on how long you're in the air for, and a weapon freshness meter, which scales from 1.5x for fresh weapons and goes down the more you spam a single gun/mod So if you only use sharpshooter and the basic pistol shot it will quickly deplete from fresh to dull, which makes the multiplier go all the way down to 0, and you stop receiving points altogether By switching your weapons around, and trying your best to play "the floor is lava" you can keep the multipliers up and gain tons of points/score The more weapons you have at your disposal, the easier it is to keep your weapons fresh, so don't just stick with one weapon or mod, just because it's cooler to you, since it'll get dull to the audience if you don't switch it up constantly :D Love your videos, hope to see more ultrakill!
a little more tips if you might need them: the shotgun pellets can be punched with the blue arm (feedbacker) you can chain your coins up to 4 times with each coin making the shot deal more damage the red revolver allows you to shoot projectiles (like the balls the strays shoot) making it explode hit the malicious face (maurice for short) with your blue arm when he charges up his hitscan ability when his mouth flashes yellow hope these helped! have fun Ultrakilling!
Heh, quite glad you played this game, although it was mildly unexpected for you to do so. Too bad you went into the Cyber Grind and I didn’t get to see the absolute emotional whiplash that happens in 1-1. (Not trying to spoil anything, but it greatly amused me the first time I played it.) Anyway, I guess I’ll add you to the list of “RUclipsrs who are a lot better than I am at Ultrakill”. (You’re quite good at it! I had to cheese/cheat through a couple of fights. But of course, the fact that I kept taking breaks from it and coming back a week later *definitely* didn’t help.) Anyway, have a good day and/or night!
I dont want to be seen as a beggar but, can you please gift me ultrakill on steam? i really like the game from everything ive seen and heard, but i cant buy it because i dont have any kind of card. I eould really appreciate if you did. Sorry if i irritated you, i didnt mean to.

This, this is true. _So it’s not out of the ordinary actually_ xD

okay so, since you're playing ULTRAKILL, here's some hints:
-Using only one weapon/weapon mod makes your "weapon freshness" go down, which can half/negate the amount of style you gain from killing enemies, so use _every_ gun/gun mod while in combat.
-if an enemy flashes yellow, that means their attack can be parried at close range(although, some enemies are harder than others). for example, Malicious Faces flash yellow before launching that lazer blast, and hitting them will deal damage and negate the attack. Filth melee attacks can also be parried.
-those enemies you dislike have their heads on their shoulders, so shoot the shoulders for maximum damage.
-coin shots automatically target weakpoints, like head/limbshots and certain enemies' weaknesses(see above, the guy with the shoulder-heads).
-certain enemies are weaker/stronger against specific weapons, so pay attention to their descriptions.
-speaking of descriptions, you should *probably* read them for more tips with certain enemies.
-Cybergrind graphics can be customized with _any image file_ from your computer. do with that what you will.

@@gayahhbihh anything that isnt hitscan
ok not every weapon, there are 2 weapons that are not good, the green railcannon and the alternate marksman (coin gun).
the green railcannon is bad because its not hitscan like the other versions of the railcannon, the damage output is slow and the only thing good is for healing.
the alternate marksman is hated cause it cant multi-shot (splits your shot into 2 and hit 2 enemies at the same time) and its inconsistent meaning you cant constantly use coins cause the shots are slow adn there is prob. even more re4asons why its bad but thats all that i can think of
@@idiotic_tl_4837 it doesnt mean you cannot use the alt marksman, this is a game where user play to their own will of playstyle, hating on it just completely ignore that basis, and it’s good if you cannot time the splitshot

Merg playing and enjoying ULTRAKILL, and also so casually saying "SEX MACHINE" was not something I expected at all, but I needed it.

Merg playing ULTRAKILL is not something I expected, but something I needed
Yeah ı taught ı was dreaming But to be honest ı am so glad he is playing it
@@Smirving Bro same lmao
Merg in my 2 years of being a fan of yours this is really unexpected.Please dont abandon this game
@@morghiplier thanks for rememberi ng me
omg its sunny from the hit 2013 game pizza tower
what the hell is a videogame.
I feel like my brain is just gonna stop getting surprised by the games Merg plays on his channel. Every day it passes, just gets more and more unpredictable, which is appreciated, cool to see he trying to keep variety.
I think that Merg focuses on what he thinks would be entertaining instead of what he thinks would get the most views & stuff like that, which I really like.
It won't stop... not until they release Undertale 2 or something
@@Merg now play deepwoken...
from undertale to doom on crack 💀💀
@@Merg The Undertale fangame titled Undertale 2:
Tip: You can parry almost anything in the game (including the shotgun's primary fire) and if there's a yellow flash it means you need to be at close range to be able to parry the attack (like Malicious Face's beam or the Swordmachine's sword).
"Friendship ended with PIZZA TOWER, I'm P'ing all over the ULTRAKILL now"
- Merg's totally exact thought process
I will never unhear him saying "SEX MACHINE" out loud though without years of therapy
Pizzakill
@@MergI sure hope not
@@Imaginedying434 Machine, YEOOOOWWWW
MACHINE, EAT THAT PIZZA YOU INSICTNIFICANT F
Hmm.... *P'ing*
This was so cool merg. Here's some very useful tips to become *god*. I know this might look a bit overwhelming, but I think you should really check out the style and the shotgun sections specifically
*STYLE*
- There is a weapon freshness bar below your style. Pay attention to that. If you use the same weapon/weapon mod for too long, you won't be getting ANY style from it. The multiplier there shows how much style you're getting. Switch weapons and weapon mods very frequently and you'll be styling on 'em
- Switching weapons frequently is essential for being stylish, But moving around at high speeds and parrying stuff is also very important :)
- You can parry almost EVERYTHING in this game. Every projectile, the melee attacks of the "frogs" :) and boss attacks with a yellow flash can be parried to deal them a lot of damage. Also, you instantly heal to max hp when you parry.
*SHOTGUN*
- The shotgun is extremely powerful. Try punching immediately after shooting it and see what happens ;)
- Hold down shoot and press "E" rhythmically to switch weapon mods. You'll be firing MUCH quicker and dealing enormous damage.
- You CAN use the overpump explosion of the shotgun. The dash gives you invulnerability, so dash just before exploding it and you'll completely negate the damage ;)
- You might have noticed, but malicious faces die extremely quickly to point-blank range shotgun shots. They die to it in 3 hits. So, get up close and personal to those bois and blast them in the face >:)
*MARKSMAN REVOLVER*
- The coin is the single most complex thing in the game, which creates many opportunities for combos. But they're also kinda difficult to use, so don't get upset if you can't get the hang of them yet.
- Try getting a hang of the trajectory of the coin. When you're moving, the trajectory of the coin will be different. For example, if you're moving sideways, the coin will also go sideways. If you're going forwards or backwards, so will the coin
- When an enemy is charging up their projectile, shooting a coin at the right moment can make them go *BOOM.*
- EVERY hitscan bullet will ricochet off of the coins. Even things such as the yellow explosive projectiles of malicious faces. The bullets will increase in damage with each coin. Keep this in mind when you unlock a certain superweapon ;)
*WEAPON SYNERGY*
- In this game, almost all weapons have some kind of interaction with others. For example, you can shoot the grenades of your shotgun with your revolver, which makes them create a huge explosion. You might wanna experiment in the sandbox, as there's so much to be discovered, and the game doesn't really teach you those things.
Of course, you don't have to learn everything immediately. Take it slow. I wish you good luck with ultrakilling
Wait I thought you didn't have to aim for the coin?
Why not shoot a husk but shoot a thing in a size of a coin? - max0r also aim TO OR FOR THE COIN
Also Merg don't forget to always read the Tip of the Day in the terminal at the beggining of every single level, the hints there are pretty helpful and may teach new tech for you to do.
For example try parrying your OWN shotgun shots, shoot and immediately punch
I don't usually comment on Merg's videos anymore but seeing Merg playing ULTRAKILL unexpectedly suprises me.
An unexpectancy if you will
I'll probably start watching him again if this continues as a series
i've just discovered your channel and i gotta say i like the vibe you bring into your videos, you're so genuine
i thing i'm gonna stay!
Thank you! :)
Welcome to the gang
No way, Merg actually played Ultrakill, dude, this is the best day of my life, THANK YOUUUU
Here is a tip if you want :
If your planning to continue this playthrough, try to shoot ur shotgun and then immediately press f to punch, it will make the shotgun bullet explosive
I have to edit this comment so many times dude wth
+PROJECTILE BOOST
This a very good tip
Well Edit it one more time wtf not wth
Edit and say a surprise will happen don't tell him about the explosive
I love +projectile boost
I doubt you'll read this, but this game has crazy strategies & synergies, and coin gun is probably one of the best weapons, but its hard to use :)
As for some tips, the coin you throw have the same momentum as you had when you threw it, so if you're walking left and throwing a coin, the coin will be thrown left .
You can chain coins, the more coins you chain, the harder the redirected shot will hit
You can deflect a charged shot from the revolver on a coin, and thus you can coin-chain with a charged shot =)
Actually, the overcharge on the green shotgun can be good because as the game said, you cant take damage while dashing
You can parry most of the attacks by melee-ing (even melee attacks or boss attacks)
You can parry ... your own shotgun shots . (Shooting with a shotgun and punching just after will parry your bullets, accelerate them and make them explosive)
You can shoot the core from the core ejector shotgun thingy
There might be some tech idk about the crazy red pistol cuz I didn't even know it was in the game
You can punch your coins, they will go right into an ennemy's weakpoint, deal damage, bounce and if you shoot it, its damage multiplier will be bigger
If an ennemy's charging an attack and you shoot it at the righr timing, it'll explode
There are also many movement tips, but I'll pass on these ones for now
If a challenge seems impossible, its because this game has MANY tricks (or there might just be a way around it)
Style is designated by how much you use different weapons, if you're moving while shooting, or in the air, if you're parrying attacks etc ...
This game can be REALLY HARD ... but it is hella fun
Musics are bangers
Welp, I think that's it for now, you do not have to know everything to even finish the game (for now at least), but it makes the game more fun & fluid IMO.
Anyways, I'll try giving more tips on future episodes, see ya
Edit : another trick (I don't even know if it is a usebug or nah) is that you can shotgun swap, which means shooting with a shotgun, swapping to the other and you should be able to shoot again, that way you shkip the reloading animation
Fun fact about the coin revolver:you can bounce ANY hitscan projectile (the only one you have rn is the revolver shot the shotgun doesn't count) meaning you can utilize the charge shot of the piercer to bounce off the coin and it does more damage (coin mechanics are very interesting and complex if I were to tell you about dead coining we would be here a while)
Tbh the coin tricks are he single reason why I got the game in the first place
my brother he has only gotten past the prologue
@@f1reflam3 Downloaded the game to rip and tear.
stayed to play with funni coin :D
Suddenly that one fan video of Merg playing Doom became canon lmao
Merg really be making it canon some crazy stuff about him and it's frickin hilarious. Love to see it.
Ultrakill and doom is different
LOL true
Ultrakill is doom but on heavy crack
Lol ultrakill is like doom + quake movement
Hey Merg! I'm glad you like this game, it's one of my favorites, and there are some tips you can use, mostly for style.
-Below your ranking you can see a meter that changes depending of how much you have used your current weapon in a row. Switch weapons when it reaches Dull to ensure getting more style points
-You read this at the beginning of a level, but dashes make you briefly invulnerable to damage. If you time it right, you can use the pump charge's explosion without taking damage, but it's pretty hard so there's no need to use it now.
-Don't worry about using points on weapons, that's one of the main things you use them for apart from customizing colors
-You can parry almost anything (like you did with the bullets), you actually did it with some enemies but didn't notice.
If it doesn't have a blue flash before the attack (for example, the flamethrower guys had a blue flash before attacking) you can probably parry it by punching just when the enemy attacks you.
Also, try to parry your own shotgun when you fire it (any of the two) if you think you can get the timing right, that might help on some hard bosses, but again, the timing is hard.
I hope that helped at least a little bit, love your videos!
Quick addon to the last one:
Any attack that flashes yellow can be parried if you punch the enemy at the right time.
Also, if you swap between both shotgun variants at the right time, you can basically cancel their windup and chain rapid-fire shotgun shots.
replying to push this.

All those no-hit Genocide Runs are finally gonna pay off.
Super hype to see you playing this game, I'm not even into fps games, but this one managed to still be SUPER fun for me
its quite a unique game, i noticed theres alot of ways to kill just about anything
You could says,its ULTRA-fun
Badum tss
@@gamech2008 alright buddy, lets get you out from the comedy club
Merg playing more shooter games is something I didnt expect but I'm glad is happening, Merg is gonna have alot of fun and *salt* with this one hehe.
Hearing Merg's voice with a game like Ultrakill, now that's unique!
Also, tip: There's going to be a LOT of movement techniques in the game. some of them are pretty esoteric, so you might have to look up some of them...
Wow. Like actually wow I'm so excited and surprised to see you play this. Can't wait for you to experience the slightly more "difficult" levels as well. Good luck!
53:12 i loved the part in the ultrakill movie when v1 said "i am the ultrakill" and ultrakilled all those demons
Destroyer of worlds
Saw this in notifications and dropped everything I was doing and immediately clicked to watch the video. Absolutely love ULTRAKILL. This game will drive you insane in the best way possible.
Some tips;
You're able to use your dash when you overcharge your shotgun to avoid the damage of the explosion entirely, while still blowing up enemies.
Basically all projectiles are able to be parried. While most weapons are hitscan (fires an instant ray that does not count as a projectile), your shotgun's own shells count as projectiles which can be parried, as do coins.
Coins don't just reflect your Marksman Revolver's bullets. Anything that's hitscan (the charge shot from the Piercer and the ricochet shot from the other revolver) are also able to bounce off of coins.
holy- didnt expect you to play this :0
im gonna enjoy watching this
About the Pump Shotgun Explosion: I've never done this myself, but you can use the dash's invincibility to dash through your own explosion if you time it right. Dash then shoot, and you should take no damage.
If you make it explode in front of you you can't dash thru it, but you can if it's like above/below you but it's very tricky. It's easier if you dash behind while you do the explosion.
@@Insdoodoldchannel well guess I'm bad cause I always took damage when I dashed and shot in front of me
Yup and the timing is to dodge ever so slightly before you shoot!
@@giulgu17 you can dash through the boost no matter where it is shot, its just harder if you shoot it in front of you.
@@giulgu17it’s fairly tight to time
I used to watch your channel like 7 years back for a few years, found you through geometry dash but also watched some of your Undertale stuff at the time. Recently I've been playing quite a bit of ultrakill and with that also watched a lot of ultrakill videos. And somehow I found this video and the nostalgia is crazy, I'm gonna have to go back and watch some of your older stuff I missed now lol. Also NEVER played Undertale myself but just picked it up from steam summer sale and I'll finally try playing it soon now. Idk why I'm commenting this is just felt so happy being reunited with a channel I haven't watched in years. Love you man keep doing you! ❤
Duuude ,finally ! I knew you'll play ultrakill :D
I am so glad to see ultrakill on your channel
Thank you so much for playing this Merg! I've been kinda obsessed with this game for the past 2 months and it's nice to see you finally start playing it as well!
Awesome to see more people playing this game! Also three thing about coins:
1. They are thrown based on what movements key you are pressing and where you look. Walk back and throw and you'll get a high and close coin. Forward, far but low. Move left or right, they'll fly respectively. It very consistent once you become aware
2.If you shoot it when it flashes or when it start whistling (After being in the air for a while) it will split into two shot that target different enemies (Both can't shoot the same target and only works with the revolver)
3. kinda spoils the fun but it might not dawn on you. Its down below
Coins bounce all hitscan attacks. ANY AND ALL. Not just your own.
Finally, I can see this video! I wondered why the ultrakill playthrough started with limbo.
ye, had the same issue! Merg pointed out that apparently the song at 40:19 was blocking the video in some regions.
(thanks again, by the way!)
No youtuber gives me the amount of joy that you do, I find myself watching games I've previously not been interested in just because you play them.
HOLY MOLY THIS CANNOT BE REAL
One of my favorite games of all time, and one of my favorite youtubers of all time. This has to be a recipe for perfection. Chaos too. But also perfection. I'm gonna enjoy this :>
You’ve single handedly introduced me to my favorite game merg. Thank you.
This game is amazing, haven't played it but its gonna be great seeing merg play through it.
Great video! ULTRAKILL is amazing and I hope you'll continue this playthrough. Here are some tips if you do, because this game has a lot of depth.
- Your shotgun pellets are projectiles, you can parry them.
- If you want the explosion from the green shotgun without taking damage, you can do it while dashing, since you're invincible while dashing.
- I recommend trying to get better with the green revolver variant (The one with the coins), as it's easily the most powerful tool in the game when you know what you're doing.
- Parrying fully restores your health and stamina.
Hope this helps! And I hope this isn't too much information at once, sorry if it is.
Can't wait to see Merg P-ranking Ultrakill levels in a few weeks just like pizza tower.
Edit: I watched the entire video and Merg, you are a natural at this game. It's soo cool seeing you try out combos and things.
Here's some tips for you:
You can charge your pump shotgun 2 times and the press the Melee button (F) and press left click at the same time to punch your own shotgun shells.
Also with the coin gun, you can throw all 4 coins at once in the air and shoot to get extra damage. also like the shotgun, you can punch the coin when it flickers.
*two days later*
"P-2 damagless"
Some more tips
-If you time a dash perfectly, you won't take any damage from pumping your shotgun too much, but it'll still damage enemies around you.
-Use your variants! You're almost expected to swap between variants as prolifically as you swap weapons, if not more.
-You can melee any shotgun, without pumping it, to boost the main shell forwards as if you parried it. This gives tons of style points.
-You can chain the secondary shots of the other pistols off the coins, along with certain other weapons you'll find later in the game
Ultrakill is fundamentally a game progressed via experimentation. If you get an inkling of "Now does this work..." chances are it does. Try things out, and you'll be P-Ranking levels in no time.
For real, he's learning the mechanics so fast I can already see those videos being uploaded!
Btw to punch coins reliably Look below while in the air wait a bit then punch
MERG I REMEMBER WATCHING YOUR UNDERTALE CONTENT IN LIKE 2017 AND ULTRAKILL IS ONE OF MY FAV GAMES EVER
44:28 *yeeted into oblivion*
Here are some helpful Tips:
1. The sharpshooter bullets will bounce more times the longer the gun in spun, capping at 3 bounces after 1 second. The bullets have mild aim assist when they bounce, so your trajectory can be slightly off and still hit.
2. The sharpshooter only does more damage than the piercer if you hit at least one ricochet and will gain more hits for every bounce. No bounce means 2 hits, 1 bounce means three, 2 bounces hits cap at four, 3 bounces still caps at four.
3. Utilizing the piercing and bouncing of the sharpshooter, you can hit an enemy up to 26 times by firing perpendicular to 2 parallel walls. This can hit any amount of enemies so long as they are in the bullet's path.
4. The sharpshooter will cause projectiles fired by enemies to explode on contact.
5. The marksman coin will inherit your momentum, meaning as long as you stay at a constant speed and direction, aiming to hit it will require the same mouse movement.
6. Assume all attacks are parriable unless it is preceded by a blue flash (there are very few exceptions to this)
7. Try to play more aggressively, staying away from your health source (blood) will only kill you
Edit: 8. The answer to the exploding shotgun is to dash immediately before firing. This gives you i-frames, negating all damage and knockback.
ain no way our prayers worked

@@ostensisimolemanifestoBullets Per Minute
Is it that good?
Wtf how
First off: i LOVE the fact you are playing ULTRAKILL. but what i love even more is how you READ the terminals and texts, i see so many people either not even taking the time to read or just aren't even looking at the messages in the game.
As a guy with over 200 hours in this game i really have to say im filled with pride, emotion and absolute thrill to see how you continue your ULTRAKILL journey (if you choose to of course) my biggest piece of advice would be to ask yourself: "Can i do ____?" because most of the time, the game not only lets you do ____, it actively encourages you to, you can also familiarize yourself with the community and the memes, wich is always a good time, but you'll probably get spoiled a big chunk of the game and it's most complex and wonderfull layers of storytelling and fantastic semi-hidden mechanics that are just waiting to be discovered, anyways i really do hope you have a wonderful time with this game because as outlandish as it may seem right now at the beginning, this game is a MASTERPIECE (i'm talking Pizza Tower levels of masterpiece) you just need to get into the game's flow and you'll be scoring P-ranks Like a madman, and having a BLAST. (again like Pizza Tower hehe)
Regards, and much luv
Me seeing the thumbnail and the video
Also me: smiling on the inside and out for him to be ready for the things he's going to experience later on.
Hey Merg!Glad to see you made a series on this game bc I was interested in it for a long time and couldn't find any proper playthroughs!All though,untill I buy it,can you pretty please read the whole descriptions of enemies bc I am really interested in the lore behind them!I hope you are enjoying the game! :)
I really wasnt expecting this Merg but I wish you luck with this lol. Also I hope you play more of this. :3
this upload is so crazy me and a friend started playing ultrakill a week ago and now you're playing it! Great to see that you're still doing diverse content merg!
Glad you’re checking this out! Hope you have fun if you want to play it for the channel or on your own time :) I do recommend you read through the enemy entries and strategies within them, I’ll just say that all variants have a purpose! Keep experimenting!
The absolute IMMENSE amount of happiness I felt when I saw this in my feed is IMMEASURABLE
You're gonna love this game :)
EDIT: I'll give you a funny little hint for the secret level in the Prelude... find a blue skull and put it on the blue podium, trust me it's nothing wicked :)
Nothing wicked this way comes
Merg will see no evil, hear no evil, and feel no evil tear their form apart
I would have never thought that this was coming... But it genuenly made my day. Thank yo, Merg
Advanced weapon combo tips to increase style:
-coins will always follow your current velocity. so long as you don't change your current direction and speed, you can reliably shoot your coins with proper timing
-You can punch your shotgun bullets to make a makeshift rocket launcher
-Swap your shotgun variation immediately after firing to cancel the shotgun reload animation
-If you shoot your core eject with the revolver, you can create a larger, more damaging explosion
-Shoot your piercer or sharpshooter shot into coins to get an Ultraricoshot bonus
-Shoot your coins during a flash or if you hear the coin 'sing' to split your bullets and hit more enemies. spamming all four coins at once will get five guaranteed headshots
-punch your coin to headshot the nearest enemy
51:36
At this moment, merg slowly realizes he can parry his own bullets.
I never expected this video, since I also love ultrakill! Thank you so much for playing this game, not only is it nice seeing more youtubers play this game, you are bringing more people to play the game so thank you so much merg!
its so fun watching people play ultrakill for the first time. its the purest form of gameplay
"Going down the elevator to hell, or the Hellevator, if you will" damn, that was a tough start, new sub.
A point of advice for the future, Merg. This ENTIRE game is full of moments where you ask "Can I do this?" And the answer is almost always yes. If ever you have a crazy idea like, for instance, punching forward with melee at the exact same time you fire your shotgun, yes...that does something and it's amazing. This game encourages trying new weapons and their variants, and roping them into your arsenal to become an unstoppable killing machine, so don't be afraid to try any crazy ideas that may pop into your head.
OH MY GOD I DIDNT EXPECT YOU TO PLAY THIS THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!
Oh cool membership emojis
Genuinely excited for this, you have no idea. I hope you have fun with this game Merg!
Edit: Just a quick tip: You can parry a very large amount of stuff that the game throws at you, even some melee attacks! Not to mention, that you'll actually heal and regain your stamina upon a successful parry. The FOV makes it a little hard to time, but parrying is worth it if you're able to!
Never expected to see one of my favorite undertale ytber legit play my new fav game its the combo of the century!
Heres a fun tip for you to use. You can parry your own shotgun shot and its very "stylish". Youll have to fire your shotgun then punch it almost immediately after the shot.
Speaking of style your supposed to combo your weapons with the others as they can interact with eachother. E.g. throwing a coin then firing a charged piercing shot at it.
Never uae the same weapon for too long. If youve noticed it yet, theres a bar saying "fresh weapon bonus" as you use the same weaoon for longer the more "stale" it becomes which lowers you style gain.
Moving fast also helps with style up to x3 gain, you may gain this multiplier via being in midair and sliding.
Every projectile thats about to be fires can be parried, there will be a yellow "flash" that telegraphs this, a blue flash will mean it is not parryable.
Goodluck with the future levels champ!
nice! though, you should try switching variants and weapons constantly, that will give you the most style out of anything, because your multiplier stays high, its the little thing below the style meter that says things like "dull", "used", "fresh", etc
I'm really excited for you to continue this, Ultrakill is one of my favorite games, also quick lil tip if you time it right and punch right after you shoot your shotgun you'll parry the pellets and send them to the enemies with same day shipping, it also makes them explosive its called a projectile boost!
You'll have a lot of fun with this game, hope to see more of it.
I never expected you to try this game out, but seeing you play it is amazing! Experimentation is key in this game. A lot of weapons have mechanics that synergize with each other, and no weapon is truly bad as they all do something different. For example the sharpshooter and the piercer have a similar alt fire, but the sharpshooter ricochet shot has the same base damage as the primary fire but does more damage with each ricochet whereas the piercer alt fire does more damage than the primary fire by default. They both pierce targets but both still have unique qualities that make one better to use than the other depending on the situation. There is lots more to discover once you get further into the game and unlock the remaining weapons. I hope to see you play ULTRAKILL some more!
Man this guy never fails to surprise me by what game hes gonna play
My little heart can't take this so I'll have to sit this one out, but great job regardless! The beginning was kinda epic ngl :)
I loved this game so much it was a great challenge. Love the content ❤
bro i was literally trying terraria calamity for first time not long ago and i just realized that the crackshot colt is a reference to ultrakill, 4 coins at a time, same sound, same mechanic, just as badass
YOOO, Merg playing Ultrakill?! This is amazing, definitely unexpected as hell.
Would be amazing if this gets turned into a full-on playthrough. Have fun, dude! (☆▽☆)
Finally seeing this video since it was blocked at first, everything makes so much more sense now
Merg you can parry your own shotgun shells with careful timing and you can fire, press e, then fire again, then press e, this is to rapid fire the shotgun. Also you can use core eject and shoot it to explode it, and later in the game you get a powerful weapon which causes a huge explosion when you shoot the core eject
If you look carefully at the style/combo-meter, at the bottom of the meter you can see 2 multipliers
One which goes up to 3 times depending on how long you're in the air for, and a weapon freshness meter, which scales from 1.5x for fresh weapons and goes down the more you spam a single gun/mod
So if you only use sharpshooter and the basic pistol shot it will quickly deplete from fresh to dull, which makes the multiplier go all the way down to 0, and you stop receiving points altogether
By switching your weapons around, and trying your best to play "the floor is lava" you can keep the multipliers up and gain tons of points/score
The more weapons you have at your disposal, the easier it is to keep your weapons fresh, so don't just stick with one weapon or mod, just because it's cooler to you, since it'll get dull to the audience if you don't switch it up constantly :D
Love your videos, hope to see more ultrakill!
OH MY GOD MERG IS PLAYING ULTRAKILL???
a little more tips if you might need them:
the shotgun pellets can be punched with the blue arm (feedbacker)
you can chain your coins up to 4 times with each coin making the shot deal more damage
the red revolver allows you to shoot projectiles (like the balls the strays shoot) making it explode
hit the malicious face (maurice for short) with your blue arm when he charges up his hitscan ability when his mouth flashes yellow
hope these helped! have fun Ultrakilling!
I find it funny how during the entire video, Merg is getting flexed on by Wisp's much superior score at the end
Heh, quite glad you played this game, although it was mildly unexpected for you to do so.
Too bad you went into the Cyber Grind and I didn’t get to see the absolute emotional whiplash that happens in 1-1. (Not trying to spoil anything, but it greatly amused me the first time I played it.)
Anyway, I guess I’ll add you to the list of “RUclipsrs who are a lot better than I am at Ultrakill”. (You’re quite good at it! I had to cheese/cheat through a couple of fights. But of course, the fact that I kept taking breaks from it and coming back a week later *definitely* didn’t help.)
Anyway, have a good day and/or night!
This is completely unexpected but oh my god I’m so happy more people are playing this awesome ass game
I dont want to be seen as a beggar but, can you please gift me ultrakill on steam? i really like the game from everything ive seen and heard, but i cant buy it because i dont have any kind of card. I eould really appreciate if you did. Sorry if i irritated you, i didnt mean to.
You're finally playing this!!! Congrats on 1 million🎉
Ultrakill is my favorite game right now. The adrenaline and dopamine you get from this game is unreal! I hope you like it :D
I cannot describe with words how happy I am that you are trying Ultrakill. It's one of my favorite games. Thank you so much.
