Regardless of the head start, it's always impressive how quickly you speed through these games, get the 100%, and push out the review. Great work, great content, keep it up!
Would you consider adding another section specifically for the 100% completion aspect of the game you're reviewing? Specific challenges, potential rewards, unique achievements, etc.
Would be interesting for sure! Please take this under consideration - maybe even show some variety of stuff to find in the game as mentioned above or even easter eggs
While it might be a good addition, I'm pretty sure he's said he does the 100% for credibility not for the sake of completing them. I'm not sure he's thinking about these topics when making videos.
Agreed, what was the most challenging/ fun/ least fun achievements would be cool
That would be the best part honestly. Everyone covers gameplay/story/performance elements, but rarely stuff like sound effects or achievements. Some people like ACG cover sound in depth but never seen anyone talk about achievemnents and challenges
@Dermetsu I can see that, but that's exactly it. He's already doing the work, may as well show it off a bit and talk about what no one else does.
You don't hype yourself up at all but the rate at which you 100% these games is so impressive. I don't think I've ever seen a reviewer with a better work ethic. I know its gaming, but still, I can't play for a couple hours in a row sometimes but you really put in the work amigo. Very glad I subbed and I've been watching nearly EVERY upload, you sir are a legend.
Hey Mort, have you considered doing quick segments about how hard getting all achievements was? Think that would be cool to hear abour
I suggested a 1-2 hr stream after the review came out so he could answer some questions others may have, like this.
+1. I really like getting 100% so, it's like one of the most important topics/questions which is very rarely touched, even tho there is "100%" in the title itself
he already does it if its relevant to the review or especially annoying
He already does annual videos on his hardest/easiest, most worthwhile/don't do this yourself 100% lists.
Most of the trophies are pretty straightforward. Complete missions, find pandas, do specific things in 3 or 4 missions. Those specific things are easy to come by if you explore maps fully. There is also an item called cup of cordiality to increase follower lvl. At lvl 10 you unlock their gear and weapon 4 stars. You can farm cups on several levels to upgrade all followers if you don't want the AI following you in missions.
I've been subscribed to you for just under a year now and I gotta say you're one of the best reviewers on RUclips! I saw your first impressions video just yesterday for Wo Long, and that was actually better than the other game reviews I saw lol.
I can't believe how fast you've become lately with these 100% reviews! It's like you've perfected your craft. So grateful I found your channel!🙏🏾
I'd love to see you play and 100% games. Your hard work is being appreciated after working so hard all these years. Congratulations, you have earned it .
Yeah, ever considered publishing a "review run"? Basically a gameplay fully registered I'm which you get to 100% a game. And the review at the end. This would probably increase the time you need to pushout a review but would function as a "competent gameplay" which many people would be interested watching.
I follow an Italian RUclipsr that did this a lot of times. Best one was for Cyberpunk 2077. He published the whole blind run he did to evaluate the game, and then he did a review.
I just watched your first impression and the full review is out, what a machine
You're so far my favorite RUclips discovery of 2023, keep doing what you're doing man you're awesome!
Your reviews are so good that by half video I already am able to understand if the game is for me or not, because you give so many details. Still, usually I end up watching until the end because the way you expose and argument are so enjoyable that it is a pleasure to follow you until the end of the video.
Well done, keep on keeping on. Hope your channel gets big and bigger
back to back to back videos! you are a beast mortim
At this point Team Ninja is synonymous with terrible PC port even more so than square enix
This time even the consoles got shafted.
Got the PS5 version but my goodness it looks sooooo dirty and old gen.
Nioh 2 looked better.
Elden ring still looks more polish than wo long
@Hare75 The Ohio Guy obviously?
@@kronosleblu888 well for all its worth wo long spec requirement is actually lower than nioh 2 not sure why but it is lower
performance seems to be case by case as i've seen people with lower pc spec having it work fine with simillar settings to ones with higher spec.
im gonna assume they hire a 3rd party company for porting the game and that company just copy pasted the thing from console
Ummm Nioh 2 pc launched was perfect what do you mean
Hi Mortismal!
Became a fan before the New Years due to you unparalleled (so far) coverage of cRPGs which you successfully encouraged someone like me who is not used to the genre to try the latest and greatest (WOTR). I love that you are covering the newer games outside cRPGs and I am currently awaiting for your takes on the future releases to come. Just like Wo Long!
Though I have to agree on one thing to improve your niche of review structure: Would really like you to touch on the completionist aspect of the games you cover because even though I enjoy your thorough touch ups on the game mechanics, etc. I feel it's much better if you cover more of the special achievements or the sections of the game that usually don't get experience by someone who's playing the game in full (someone commented it here already but I really want to echo that one). Your experience of 100%'ing the game and the level of difficulty it may bring for someone like yourself who 100% their games all the time.
Love your content! Here for your success as I' m sure it's nothing but up from here. Glad to be a part of your Steam group too! Cheers!
Dude legit, you're an inspiration when it comes to your consistent work ethic, the quality of your reviews, and how you could achieve 100% completion so quickly and consistently. I'd legit would watch a video of your 100% completion process and any tips and tricks you might have for gamers who are interested in doing 100% completion of their games if you haven't already. Hell at this point I'll be watching your content for as long as you make them.
Thank you! I have made a video on the subject before, check the channel faqs playlist
@@MortismalGaming Will do!
before i watch the video just wanted to say that i really like the idea of you reviewing the games after 100% and it really sets you apart
You are such a prolific content creator, it's amazing. As a newcomer to your channel I am watching your older videos on the side but I can't match your upload speed!
This is a great review. Just picked it up and looking forward to it.
Thanks; I was considering this one but at the least I'm going to wait a long time.
I applaud your dedication to mouse and keyboard.
Hey, so we had this discussion about your 100% approach in a Discord channel, and I think they are right in that you should add an extra section about the 100%. Many games can drastically change in the fun department if you aim to 100% them. You sometimes mention it but not always (How grindy, repetitive, are there new mechanics only for sidequest content?, is the 100% just the usual collect 3 chicken wings in 3 parts of the world quests? Can the best weapon only obtained through obscure side missions? etc.)
Otherwise, great work as always!
Yeah 100% the original Nioh made the game much better as i was forced to use all the weapons. This offset some of the tedium of fighting the same enemies( the games biggest flaw).
I would have probably just played the game poking away with the spear otherwise and dropped it at some point.
Thanks for the review. Onward to 200k. All glory to the algorithm.
My man! Thank you! Was looking forward for this review by you. All the best!
Great review, many thanks
Nice reviews. First time stopping by your channel 👍💪🏻🙏🏻
Despite this being a review, this video served as a summary for the game. I have already fully completed everything. Top context here mate!
Wow, you are a machine! Bravo 👏🏻
I'm genuinely impressed by you getting through the game. I think I literally can't get through the boat level because it keeps randomly crashing and resetting my progress...
are you playing on pc? It’s pretty poorly optimized on pc but it works great on Xbox
I'm having the same issue, although it's a bit intermittent. Weirdly, I have to restart my pc to get it to run again as well. If I reopen immediately it crashes on startup. It only seems to happen after a couple hours or so, so it isn't too bad. Frustrating definitely, but I have had worse pc experiences. I hated that boat level, not because of the design but because I died a lot.
Got that reviewer plot armour
turn off any ingame overlay for any program
@@georgen5882 So I eventually got tired of turning down the graphics settings when restarting after every crash and for whatever reason that stopped the crashing. I had literally just turned off AO and the volumetrics to low. Only had the one where you need to reboot once, most crashes the game starts up fine after.
Quickly became my faviroute reviews channel, keep it up bud
Thanks for your incredibly fast service.
Love your review for this
Awesome work! If you ever decide to review or even first look one of the two Nioh games, it would be very interesting to compare it to your thoughts on Wo Long!
To quote the great Ivan Dragoff, “he’s not a man, he’s a machine”. Our man Mort is a cyborg that doesn’t sleep
Good review as always.
While I was waiting for your review, I knew I would play this game regardless, because I already played Nioh 1 & 2 and loved it.
For those who are curious and know about Nioh, Wo Long is to Nioh what Sekiro is to Dark Souls... That's roughly the same tradeoff : Tighter and more fast paced combat at the cost of build variety. Nioh already did suffer from a weird itemisation where you had truckloads of weapons and armor pieces, most of it worthless since you could craft on top of and transmog existing items.
what the heck, super fast. we can always expect you to be ahead of the curve!
Love this channel
Curious to see what you think of Nioh 1 & 2 and Sekiro. They are basically the games that this game borrowed most of the design choices from (same devs as Nioh series too)
I think adding this type of combat in a general dw game would be awesome! A massive scale battle but never feeling significantly OP, and engaging in dueling like dw4 had... ugh that's the dream. Idk how I feel about the demon bosses
Cannot wait to see your steam year end stats
Mortismal you are something else. I found another reviewer similar to you, The Completionist, who also completes games to 100% before reviewing. The difference between you two, however, is you review as many games in two weeks as he does in a year lol. I dig how you report on performance issues, which have become such a huge problem. Big Ups, and thank you for your hard work.
Mort also knows how to criticize a game, while the Completionist will never not shill for a product.
All their games are rough in regards to performance at launch.
They always sort these problems out after a while. I wouldn't get too concerned about it.
I swear I died at least 50 times trying to beat that tutorial boss. I came very close to uninstalling the game but persevered and finally beat him. The developers really screwed up with that opening boss fight, as it’s a massive roadblock for newer players; like myself.
I don't understand how people had so much trouble. I just hammered him over and over with a sword and he literally can't even fight back half the time.
100% completion is the perfect example size to give review, honest work required before you give your score. Mortismal your the best!
That's flawed logic and we all know it. Do you need to eat a whole plate just to know its expired? Course not.
@@palamedes4740but that’s also a flawed logic tho. In terms of entertainment, u do need to watch the whole movie/play before giving it a proper rating tho. Otherwise u miss alot.
@@palamedes4740 using your logic, I'm not taking any review of a book, movie, or game seriously if they haven't even finished the product.
Good review. I think I'll just finish the demo, and that will be enough for me
i played the Xbox game pass version on pc and it works great would recommend playing on that for now if you can. no bugs no crashes on first week
Sir you are my hero, for real !
To be fair although the stat increases on gear aren't that much they're obviously supposed to be stacked for that reason. If you put 2% extra melee damage on all your gear you can get over a 12% bonus.
THIS JUST CAME OUT YOU MADMAN 😆
❤️
I haven’t 100% the game but that was a great review of the game bro! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Wow what a banger video
It's a shame that every single PC port seems to launch broken these days, but at the end of the day I'm enjoying it, problems aside.
Actually considering doing a video on that subject, seems like every major release in the past six months seems to be in it's worst version on PC
I know this is particularly true for eastern games, with PC gaming being a downward trend there.
I’ll play this for sure. Nioh 2 was my favorite game of 2020 so I’ll enjoy this. It doesn’t hurt that the game is on gamepass.
damn 100% already. Good job
How do you 100% so fast!? What a legend! good videos man
Great review, as always. Game is looking like a wait one year to play a decent PC version, thankfully I got nioh 2 this christmas
I tried this game yesterday and definitely hit the brick wall of the first boss. I finished all three Souls games, Elden Ring and Bloodborne but getting past that first boss will take some time. It's very comforting to hear that it's a real difficulty spike and not representative of the other bosses.
My personal experience is that there are definitely harder bosses than the first one, but at that point you have much more tools and more importantly, you have learned the combat system.
What they do now is, they throw you in to the deep water at the very beginning and see if you learn to swim. It´s hard boss at that point, when you are just trying to figure out, how the game works, but it will force you to learn the basic mechanics of the combat system and that will reward you later on.
You might´ve already get past this boss, but if not, my tip for you is the similar that Sekiro did: unlearn everything you learned from Dark Souls /Bloodborne and implement a new kind of mind set.
It´s actually very similar type of deflection based fighting as Sekiro has.
With Sekiro I had huge problems for quite a long time, because I tried to play it like I played Dark Souls etc. games.
I don't know how you could even say it's that hard, after the first try i was able to repeatedly stunlock him and deflect most of his attacks. He'll, I'd say the regular tiger monsters are way harder.
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 Easy, you're apparently better at it than I am. Good for you.
@@SanderPastoor literally just mash light attack and spam dodge when he attacks my dude it's easy
Armored core 6 is alot like that as well
I really like this channel and the mentality of being natural in game before reviewing it.
Thank you! Also, WHAT? HOW? Review key aside, this is fast work
Eagerly awaiting the review after 100% for the Yakuza series
Well, seeing how fast that man is completing games, I think if he puts his mind to it he can have a review for the entire series in 2 days time. 1 day and 23 hours of that time being spent editing the video.
@@chenoir nah yakuza games have a fuck ton of collectibles, side quests and mini games. It can't be as fast as just playing through a hack and slash game.
@@chenoir For Yakuza? Good f'in luck lol.
Above all the game is just fun and plays well I am enjoying it a lot just hope they add more invasion locations
Im kinda amazed by the sheer consistency of your uploads. And the quality does not dwindle either. Even if this is your full-time job it is quite impressive. Kudos to you!
I like this. Thank you
Playing on ps5 and I love it so far. I really like the parry system, holding r1 while parrying does a special weapon switch parry move that does damage. Yes some of the systems compared to Nioh 2 have been simplified so to speak but it also makes the game less grindy.
It's simple and less grindy until you look at the nightmare that is the gem system. Actually acquiring the right flavor of gems with them being true random is worse grind than perfect soul cores could ever be
But I imagine this'll get ironed out by dlc1/2
People keep saying this game is simple... When I'm already overwhelmed. I wanted to play Nioh 2 but HOW on Earth can it be MORE convoluted than Wo Long?!
@Duxshan Watch a combat overview video of the nioh series, and you'll see.
I played this game and beat it on xbox series x, and I've gotta say I only crashed once, I love the story and the difficulty, it's extremely good and if anyone has gamepass. Give it a try
I like your honesty
This is a blast to play
Knowing team ninja games, its kinda insane how quickly you got through this
I'm still trying to finish Theatrhythm Final Bar Line and here's the damn GOAT 100%ing soulslikes and JRPGS. My dude. Give us a minute 😭
Jokes aside though, fantastic job. Nioh was a game I put down on 3 occasions when I got completely walled so I'm skeptical about Wo Long, especially with the first boss REQUIRING you to learn parrying, something I literally didn't use once in my entire run of Nioh and only truly learned the timing for with the Pursuer in Dark Souls 2. Props my guy 👏
Thanks!
Bro, already?? lol you're a machine!
I feel that as someone that reviews the game after 100% it I would like to hear more in your reviews how was this journey, where there any egregious RNG? Annoying side content? What side activities would you not do because the rewards are not worth? Your reviews are very well structured but this kind of information only someone that experience all the game can give.
Your a goddamn beast dude ❤
already bought it but still gonna watch this video
When will u save me guts?
Only got to play the demo a little before sending my laptop on for repair. My experience with souls like is as follows demon souls dark souls 1-3, nioh 1 and 2, the surge 1 and 2, code vein and elden ring. Nioh 2 being most recent (few months ago)
Here are some things that I noticed with my very limited play of the demo and from your review
The keyboard bindings were a nightmare and had to rebind several keys.
The camera and or motion didn't seem as fluid as nioh 2 when running. Gave me dark souls 2 vibes
The deflecting critical blows had more variation in nioh 2 with the burst counter system. Similar situation enemy preps for an attack glows red and if you deflect the attack, the enemy will lose significant stamina, do damage and or get knocked down from my recollection. Nioh 2 had variations of the counter based on the 3 spirit types. Brute type had a claw swipe that if it connected with the attack it would active the deflection while other types would give a second of invulnerability and activate for example.
I worry when it comes to companions/ spirit summons in soulslike games. Elden ring for example was horribly balanced when it came to summons in which bosses were trivialized. Players are encouraged to use them as part of the toolkit via upgrading and there were no negatives to this. For example dark souls 2 placed a decrease of souls gain for beating the boss per summon. Code vein had partners would fight with you and heal you but would run out of heals for themselves. My 2 main concerns are 1. Can I play without companions and if I do is the game balanced for it? 2. Do companions aggro the boss too much or buff me too much making boss fights very easy
I fully agree with the item drops as I had a similar complaint with the nioh series. I can reroll the bonuses and then soul level the equipment. There was also no reason to use the non set items as the set bonuses were so powerful with life drains and power bonuses.
Great video as usual
Best current reviewer in my opinion
I'll be honest, despite the flaws I'm really enjoying the game. A few patches here and there to improve technical issues and connection when playing co-op and invasions. PvP with that combat is fantastic, frenetic, it's like an anime fight. 🤣
Hey Mort- I really like your videos. One thing I'm conflicted about is whether to watch them before or after I've played the game. I really enjoy your analysis. You go into so much detail though and sometimes I don't want to go into a game feeling like I already know everything about it. Learning a game's in and outs is part of the fun for me. In that sense, I view videos like this one as part critique/retrospective, part tutorial and part review. I'm curious as to whether you have a view on this, and whether you get any similar feedback?
If anything people ask me to go even more in depth, not less. Just on this video you can see comments from people asking for complete breakdowns on the achievements to be included.
I don't know if you have played nioh 2 but I highly suggest you put that on a back log. It's great. 1 of the few games I go back to a couple times a year.
Time works differenty for you 👾
Right? Wish I had this amount of time.
It's a shame PC is having so many issues on optimization... PS5 is playing flawlessly for me and my partner.
I hope the issues are resolved soon for everyone and thank you for another awesome review.
God ur fast!
That's what she said.
If you're willing to put in the effort to get past the first few bosses it actually clicks and is fun even on PC with frame hikes (yes using a controller and added a frame cap to 60 instead of 120). Many concepts were not explained well imo like how to let your followers attack. Once you get it it's more fun.
And yes want to echo the first boss sentiment. The 2nd level boss was literally a cakewalk where I was surprised it was dead so fast. And that's from me having struggled on the first boss for hours with close to 100 attempts. If you want to make it a bit easier, grind the level and get your morale to 25. Second once you get past the first level you're able to buy items to keep your morale level even after death which makes keeping your overleveled power easier when you do lose against the boss the first time.
Thanks :)
Good show sir
Man. Rare to see a game come out these days that has issues across PC and console. We need to really improve our game on the technical side when it comes to these new releases.
Another game you might want to add to your list of reviews is Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The game released in a great state, and the developers keep adding content, balance and bug fixes, even in 2023. Probably the best Warhammer 40,000 game of the last decade.
I like this review, I feel like it's very honest to the reviewer and their experience.
Me personally when I played, the game crashes but that's about the only issue I had. It never crashed in the cutscenes and would crash during specific boss attacks or so or enemy attacks after I'd already been playing like an hour and a half. So every like hour and a half or two it would crash after like a specific attack and then I would load the game up and redo the same patterns and attacks and all of that. And I would never crash again until another hour or two in lol. Definitely definitely one of their worst optimized games. Still a great game though. Despite the PC controls lacking, I play with remote control as I always do with games like this
I guess I got lucky? I have a 3080 with a 5800 3dx and didn't get any crashes or any super crazy frame drops during my run. I do run a pretty barebones version of windows to increase my gaming performance but I feel like that wouldn't fix the issues most people seem to be having.
Also what an absolute mad lad for never switching to a controller.
I'm slowly getting convinced that you must have a basement full of people that play these games for you :D How are you playing games so quickly?
Its easy if its your job. Im at my dayjob 8 hours a day, then i can game for 4 after.
Thats 12 hours a day he can grind these out, thats more than enough.
@@czaXone Side quests are part of the 100% experience tho. So is the story (he mentioned watching the cutscenes in the main menu because of crashing issues).
@@Eldenbruh Yea and if you laser focus on getting the game done because it's your job, you get really efficient at it. It was funny when he did his review of Hogwarts and it took myself and all of my friends I talked to an average of double what he said it took him to play through it (both story only and 100%). I'm not saying he isn't getting enjoyment out of some/all of this, but he's definitely not putting as much into each of these games as you might think.
Lots of grinding, saving all the time helps to.
@@czaXone did you watch the video or read the title? He 100 percents the games
Thank you! You mentioned that sometimes you have to block instead of parry since the enemy just strikes too quickly. That was my issue with the first boss in his second phase, I just couldn't time the parry quick enough. But then I tried blocking during his quick attacks (parry the slower ones) and then I got him after 3 tries. Must've been over a 100 tries in total to get that *(^&*&%^
It seems the general consensus of other reviewers like Fextralife, ItalianSpartacus and Fighting Cowboy is always block while you are trying to deflect (parry). It makes deflecting significantly less riskier.
Bro, you’re a machine.
good job
thank you, i think you are one of the few reviewer who ACTUALLY mentioned how bad the controls are for PC
Bro already put with 100%. What a machine!
Im glad that i made it through the first Boss. The game becomes enjoyable
Wait didn’t this game just release? That’s very impressive lol I hope you’re actually enjoying the games and not just going through the motions to finish as fast as you can
I don't understand where people find performance issues with this game, I have mid-to-high tier PC from 2017 or 18, only upgraded to 16Gb of RAM since, and the only performance issue I had was slight frame issues in the rainy level with the tiger boss.
Catch me replaying sekiro thanks for the review
Honestly my biggest complaint so far is the Reinforcements not being optional, otherwise 8.5/10. The only problem with the loot for me is that I'd like to see more variety earlier in the game and be able to increase my items rarities. I had tier 4 armor since the second mission but couldn't get a tier 4 weapon till 8 hours into the game and it was a weapon I'd never use.
I feel bad for PC elitists. Im playing this on PS5 and having the time of my life! Fantastic game!
Was that first boss as awful as they say? Want to play but not if its going to be too frustrating
@@drummingtildeath Took me like 45 mins to beat him and i suck at souls games. There are 2-3 bosses at a similar level, but other than that, you can 1st try most.
its one of the easiest souls likes you'll ever play. BUT, if you dont like difficulty at all, then these types of games might not be for you. They really dont have much else to offer other than combat.
Wasn't it just a few days ago that the demo was introduced here? Amazing!
With all 3 DLC's out now the game is in a pretty good place.
Ya, the levels are not great. But the combat makes up for any shortcomings in the rest of the game.
Just looking at the footage the combat always looks like a mess. Numbers, visual effects, a ton of different bars flashing and filling/decreasing, button prompts, the weird red blood and vein effects and the somewhat hectic animations.
It really doesn't look like something I want to play to be honest despite it sounding pretty fun on paper and my love for soulsike games.
