Ive picked up the game and played it 3 times and i think ive put about 8 hours in it. All I know is I have gotten not very far at all in the game and I only unlocked the same amount of characters as he did. Finish the game before you review it buddy.
Yet another IGN review of a game they didn’t even finish. You only played for 8 hours without finishing the game and posted a review several days before the game even comes out. Pretty sure you still had time to play the game and review it properly before it releases.
@@jeromealday614 Did you not read the original commnet? The devs hadn't even full released the game, or any bug fixes, and IGN didn't even try to finish even one run
So you publish a review after playing for just 8 hours. Is that how IGN reviews work? Does this game not have an end (or even a story)? Does this game get progressively more challenging or are you guessing 20 hours later your experience will still be the same as your 8 hours?
Gummycore Gamer it not only has a story but multiple endings as well. IGN just didn’t bother to finish the game or really even play it before reviewing it. They even posted their review almost 4 days before release day
I dont undestand..... have you finished the game? Is there nothing new after 8 hours? Is 8 hours enough play time to rate the game? I feel you should have made it clear why 8 hours in is enough to warrant A finished review.
It’s a roguelike, roguelikes don’t have long stories and are meant to be played multiple times to see everything the game has. And then again I don’t think he made it that far in general
EhCloserLook it means IGN didn’t finish the game before reviewing it as per usual. The game doesn’t even come out until Tuesday so they still had like 3 more days to play it and review it
I dont get it... During the review, including the verdict, most of what was talked was positive stuff, with very few negative points, but then you rate the game 7.6... I really don't get it
Does this haves anything to do with the NES game Totaly Rad? The two haves almost the same story and share almost the same name! They have many similarities! Mutations and etc.
I would've named this game Mut. Rad makes me think of radiation which makes sense for this game and its mutation but Mut can suggest mutation as well meanwhile Mutt also refers to a mixed breed of dog that is unidentifiable much like these humans becoming unidentifiable as they mutate more. Mut just would've worked better imo
I was browsing the switch store and just when I thought "aren't there any fresh game ideas out there?" this gem popped up... I'm currently downloading it :3
I doubt IGN reviewers have the time to sink 20-40 hours into an indie. Besides, it's a rogue-like; if someone hasn't grasped the game after 8 hours, they're daft.
@@RobCartwright it's not about grasping the game. They are reviewing it. They should see as much as they can to give us an accurate review, not just play it 8 hours and say yep it's a roguelike, slap a score on there.
"Other times you might get an annoying ability like the egg-laying one where you have to hatch fresh helpers every time you pass through a doorway, or something else that just doesn’t gel with your playstyle. Or maybe you’ll be on a map layout that requires a ton of traipsing around." "the sluggish framerate on a plain ol’ Xbox One S and the long loading times at startup and whenever you go to and from town or a new level drag things down a bit." It doesn't run well, and the procedural generation often gives you a bad set of mutations or map layouts. You're welcome.
@@tanzimreza6907 Yeah, that's not how it works. It doesn't "start at 10 for a perfect game and you lose points for issues." Consider what the score would be if it started at 0 for "it's not a game" and you added a point for every in-game system. "It has graphics. +1," etc. You should really should read their review guidelines, at the very least.
@@AmanojakuX yeah and the review did not mention which of those problematic systems are the reasons for point deduction. It mentioned 2 little issues superficially in 2 lines and just slapped a 7.6 at the end. You just paraphrased the problem with this review.
this game has a little something for everyone. 7/2. -brat to you by dankey In all honesty though, IGN played 8 hours of this game before its actual release and didn't give a single 'inkling' of critical review. Please do better.
@@joshbennett7439 why? Explain what rogue-like even is, random with rpg elements? Just means bad level design and repetitive. It's a scrubbing marketing term for scrubbish kids
Mr. Sensible no it does the opposite, even then you could say that about a lot of things, although I prefer replayable games a lot of my favorite games are 1 timers. Edit: What Roguelikes have you played to give you so much hate for them

IGN higher-ups. Please stop rushing reviews. You don’t need to be first, you need to be accurate. 😉
They are the worst.

The sad reality is they DO need to be first... That's just how the market is.
Right? Full review after 8 hours, seems legit.
@@jordansloan417 Considering it's just a rogue like with randomly generated levels, 8 hours is plenty.
How come ign final verdicts never seem to match up with what the reviewers are saying?
Cuz they don’t know how to review games correctly
SuperSpindasher1991 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ it’s opinion based they have different opinions
Judge Wilson even if that’s the case it doesn’t hide how biased the people they got to review the games are
@@SuperSpindasher1991 but yet. Here we all are. Watching them. Lol
Cause its not COD.😉
Played for 8 hours, game has an 80's theme... Couldn't give it an 8.0?
As far as Rouge likes go, especially on SWITCH, this is TOTALLY 8.5 WORTHY

@GamebroTV yes

TBH i think with almost ANY game.. 8 hours in, you understand what it is and how it plays
@@ADucksOpinion true but if the story gets bad after 8 hours which happens sometimes than that could affect the score

I think if a game can't make you hook after 8 hours, means it's not that great...
short answer: RAD is rad
This game makes you really FEEL, RAD
I'm playing this on Switch and I'm finding it very addictive. I just have to keep trying again to see what whacky mutations I end up with.
Ryan, I don't think you know What The Hell Toe Jam and Earl Is!
Man, i really miss DeathSpank
An 8-hour review? Does this mean the game is kinda short???
EhCloserLook it means IGN didn’t finish the game before reviewing it as per usual. The game doesn’t even come out until Tuesday so they still had like 3 more days to play it and review it
It's a roguelike -- they're not usually very long, because you're meant to run them multiple times. See: Dead Cells, for ex.
"8 hours deep so far" and it's a rogue like. No, it's not the game's fault.
@@AmanojakuX or enter the guneon
@@NikoReid Bingo.
I pre-ordered it a few weeks ago. Looking forward to playing it on Tuesday
7.6????!!
This is easily 7.7!!!
easy there cowboy, let's not get too crazy now
You sound like you would give the game a 9 and end up giving it a 7.6
I call this a bad review
Which is better RAD or Streets of Rogue?
The load screens aren’t that bad
I dont get it... During the review, including the verdict, most of what was talked was positive stuff, with very few negative points, but then you rate the game 7.6... I really don't get it
Same I thought by the way he was talking he was gonna say 8.1
8.174
The longer you play if the more you want to keep coming back and hit that play button......until 8 hours of play?
Uh wasn't to sure if the way you were talking about the game deserved that end score.. But that's just me!
So this game has frame rate issues on an xbox one is there any hope for the switch version?
It's laggy af on the switch too.
Who else is on the fence about buying RAD?
Me! Did you end up getting it?
same here
liking it so far on switch
Would be even better if there was a Save Game option
Wait what? No saving?
Banking ca$h for future play throughs! Sounds like a novel idea to me.
How can you review a game if you have played it only for 8 hours?
its enough
I just want to know when DF and Jack Black will hock up again and give us a new brutal legends hehe
I hope it's optimized on the Switch. Looking forward to play this!
Really glad roguelikes are becoming more and more popular as each game comes. Hope more games like this, comes out ;)
And now we have too many lol
Careful what you wish
Does this haves anything to do with the NES game Totaly Rad? The two haves almost the same story and share almost the same name! They have many similarities! Mutations and etc.
It really makes you feel like toejam and earl 10/10

How deep is the story compared to The Last or Us?
Hm, sounds like binding of Isaac, i‘m in
I think IGN staff is just burnt out on playing games and doing reviews because this game is rad fun and deserve a minimum of 8.
Are the rest of those 2.4 reserved for AAA games only? I can't find any other reason because the reviewer did not mention any.
"Other times you might get an annoying ability like the egg-laying one where you have to hatch fresh helpers every time you pass through a doorway, or something else that just doesn’t gel with your playstyle. Or maybe you’ll be on a map layout that requires a ton of traipsing around."

So 2-3 lines in a nearly 4 minutes long speech dragged down the score 1/4th.

Would have bought this on day one if it had couch coop
I'm know it looks like that would have been a main factor
Pre-purchased for my Switch! Can't wait!!!
How does it play on Switch?
Is the gameplay smooth? I want to buy it on the switch.
You're complaining about the game dipping in quality but you're using the worst system on the market. You're trippin.
I'm so torn on ifni should get this on switch or Xbox.... Ughhhhhhhhhhhh
Get it on switch
You play this game you a Rad dude! Ba dum tss ( I'll see myself out)
Sounds like I might find the game too frustrating. Not a fan of rogue like
This game is Nuclear Throne! How come nobody is talking about this?!
because games like nuclear throne are niche. thats why everyone isnt talking about it.
This game looked and felt nothing like Toe Jam & Earl at all...
If only this had co-op
does it have a physical release on ps4?
Is it anything close to Bastion?
Dante D Vlad no not at all
Very close
If mean with the top down camera, floating maps and dodging mechanics? Then yes, but for the most part...it's not the same.
@@Vell-aah close enough
Does this come to gamepass
Review synopsis: Yes, but not on Xbox One S.
Do the mutations stack and intertwine with others like binding of Isaac? That would grab me
Yeah it looks like it, he did say it's cool seeing the character mutate
Just needs a local coop mode its golden!!
This is not robotic alchemic drive
I'm still playing this
Why is he yelling?
He's reviewing a very vibrant visually loud game.
Is this on PC?
Probably Epic Exclusive................................
Does anyone how hard this game is.
Well I was going to get it on my xbox one s, but maybe I should get it on ps4 instead
AJ Rodz switch...
@@25_jean_dark_52 I want trophies/achievements

How do you switch characters?
seems reaally entertaining
Can't get this in aus?
This high pitch go lucky reviewer's voice
Very rad lad
what's with the shitty blurry looking graphical style
yeah ofc came here because amazon gaming
I mean cool concept. But not for us...
Lower your standards sparks fam
@@redflame300 🤣will do!
for double fine this game is supremely underwhelming.
this review was rad
It really wasn't.
7.6 is such a specifically dumb score. 7.5 or an 8
Looks fun
Sigh, only realised it was Xbox only when I was done
It's not Xbox only. It's on PS4, switch and PC too. I have it pre-ordered on PS4
It's on ps4 and PC
why does the whole game look like it's 240p?
Cuz its a great game
I get a Zelda/Diablo feel from this
This game is rad... 😅
STOP!!!!!
Kostas Spirou what do you mean ???
I didn't like your style of review Ryan. Could not connect with anything you said
Why do they keep saying "Keep it tuned to IGN"? That's not how the internet works. You don't "tune" your internet browser like a radio or tv.
lindo demais
lol
Is the game gonna be free
Wow
Just saying
1st
"This game is not Rad"
Who else pre-ordered??
Looks like a lesser (and somehow uglier) Binding of Isaac.
