Nice review! This wasn’t on my radar before but it is now. Looks like a lot of fun
Mort is a machine! Keep up the good work!
Finally, a good review that doesn't subtract value from a game based on the fact that other, bigger games are coming out around it. Mort coming in clutch with the high standards as usual. I think there is and should always be a place for games like this. Not everything has to be "new". Deck 13 has never really built its games on novelty for novelty's sake, and has a track record of making games that feel like refinements and interesting twists on things people have done before, combined in cool ways - did anyone expect anything different? But classic elements from multiple sources put together in a great and distinct way is, in itself, an experience worth having.

Thanks for the video. Kind of impressive that AA made an interesting that was fun to explore. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.
I've had my eye on this game for a while. Sounds and looks like it's actually worth the time. Thank you.
Good to see you enjoyed this. I'll probably play through Atlas Fallen and hope BG3 gets another patch or two in the meantime.
What I like most about this game is of course the world. There’s just something mythical about desert landscapes that I find enthralling. Sand biomes encourage me to get lost

Must’ve been a sign from the universe because I am having a BLAST with this game. Thank you for the video and keep up the great work and don’t forget to take care of yourself!
The world and gameplay reminds me of Darksiders. The momentum abilities on the other hand reminds me of Transistor, which also had a highly customizable ability system! Edit: I might pick it up when it's on sale Edit 2: I'm surprised that the steam reviews are so bad. It's sitting at ~40%

This is definitely a put it in my keep an eye on its price list and when it drops to half off I'll buy it to play whenever the next fallow season for games comes about. But currently, I'm in BG3 heaven, looking forward to Spacerim but waiting on reviews, Jagged Alliance 3--which I started but BG3 has vastly supplanted and Armored Core 6, yeah, a new property I haven't heard of before but you enjoyed will get waitlisted.
This is a bit off topic, but is related. I am buying this on my PS5 even though I have a pretty decent gaming laptop that was best in class (ROG Zephyrus GX701 - was around 4000 USD) at the time & came out months before the PS5. I recently bought a PS5 (purely because I bought the new Samsung QLED 85in TV & home theatre system and thought fuck it) and I am finding these sort of games run so much better on the PS5. This most certainly looks like a console game rather a PC one (15 years ago games like this were not really being released on the PC) - and anything that does just seems to run so much better on PS5. I honestly do not see any reason to buy a new PC setup anytime soon; the games that are better on PC (RTS/turn based/CRPG etc) are not very demanding & I believe my machine will be fine for another 2-3 years for such games. If I bought at top of the range PC now that could run everything, the costs would be absolutely ridiculous - I am sick of seeing companies like NVIDIA take the absolute piss with their ridiculously greedy prices for graphics cards. I absolutely love gaming on my PC - but I won't be mugged off. My next games machine purchase will likely be the PS5 pro (Q4 2024) & I believe this will be a point when we see just how atrociously PC gamers have it with pricing; the price vs performance is going to be absolutely wild when comparing the two (It's already bad - but I think this will be a real turning point & a lot of PC gamers will just choose the PS5 pro over a PC upgrade - Ive already done it & think that what I have right now is the best move I could have made). Gaming has been the one constant in my life since I was 5 & I turn 43 next month. I have owned so many computers & consoles during that time & I have never seen anything remotely close to how bad things are now for PC gamers. Sorry to hijack the thread with this - but this is the first day one game I am buying on my PS5 over PC, so I guess it's as good a place as any.

Wasn't expecting a review for this. Reminds me a lot of Darksiders which is one of my favorite series. Probably won't buy it yet since BG3 just came out, and then Blasphemous 2 later in the month as well as Armoured Core, then Starfield in September, so idk when I'll have time to play this but I am very interested, don't mind some AA jank
I am *very* keen on this game as I was one of the few people who had a great time with Forspoken. My main concerns were about game length and repetition here, so your 100% completion reviews are the best way for me to work out if it’s worth the money! Thanks as always, Mortismal!

Looks more interesting than most i have seen, might just give it a shot (or wait for the price to drop)
It looks pretty neat. It really sucks for the dev that it's coming on the heels of BG3. This will probably be a fun pickup in a year and a half on a 90% off sale on steam.

You said it doesn't run on the Steam Deck yet I've seen videos of someone running it on the Deck on medium setting with framerate between 35-45 fps. Is there a section of the game the Deck having trouble running? Could there have been an update since you've tested it on the Deck? P.S There was a launch day patch which explains why the game runs a lot better on the Deck now.
Might check this one out
Does anyone else feel a serious connection to the stormlight archives with this new ip? I am all for it btw. I thought forspoken wore mistborn on its sleeve. Even the tassled cloak felt ripped straight from those pages.
This game had so little advertising I forgot it existed
Does it have haptic feedback on ps5?
I do hope that most players can differentiate and temper expectation between AA and AAA games. :) Goes a long way to enjoying a the game itself, many easily overlook for not having a weird personal amalgamation of mixed quality standards. :p

I love this kind of games but after watching and reading multiple different reviews and user reviews, I´ll probably wait for slight sale with this one. Good review as always tho.
That camera shake is horrendous is it possible to turn it off?
Wow. 100% already. I usually get my games a day before official release, and I haven't even gotten anywhere near a that.
This game seems really interesting....nothing super new but fun as hell, definitely will buy it on some sale or something. Bad date to launch a game tbh, feel sorry for em.
Great to see a game that is not a giant mess. 2023 has not been kind to PC ports this year. Thanks for the review
If I haven't played either of the new God of War games (and have access to a PS5) is there a reason to play this over either of them? Maybe it's not fair to the developers, but this specific genre is a little niche (to me) and not something I dip into often enough to eat up everything that gets released in it.
My man's over here 100 percenting games I _just downloaded_ *in his spare time* - it's not even a priority for him! Early review access or no, just... _Christ,_ watching Mort f***ing destroy games every week on this channel makes me feel like I play games SO slowly, lol 😆😆😆

Yours are about the only reviews I trust. Everyone else called this game mediocre yet gave other games 9/10s that didn't have nearly as much content as this game. It's like they have an agenda to only keep certain games in the public eye even tho they aren't that good (FF16)
probably decent game releasing in a pretty terrible window.. personally will keep my eye on it and see if I pick it up on sale later this year depnding what oter stuff is around at the time. Only so much time to play so many games...
Really though to release a game like this right now right after BG3 and with Starfield around the corner. Between work and BG3 i wont have time to check it out, i´ll wishlist it and get on a sale down the line. Looks like a decent enough game, hope they will sell some copies still.
The visuals and combat really remind me of Dragon's Dogma

@MortismalGaming Ok. I remember you saying you liked the story, but not much else. Maybe it's just me but I wish and think it would be cool if you went in more detail about a story's themes and how it connects to and is complimented by gameplay systems. You have a lot of insight on games but I think you lack exploring the philosophical nature of game design. Don't get mad. Keep cooking, bro.
Dude, you should do a day in the life video, how you are able to play these many games even with the early access and still alive 😂
So forspoken without the jank meets assassin's creed? Looks tight :o
If you don't like the english voices, try the german one. They used the german va of the clones in Star wars and Nicholas Cage.
Well, this game def isnt gonna draw me away from a second BG3 playthrough.

I worry about how well this game will do. Clearly, it was made with a lot of love and attention, but it is dropping in a literal minefield of bigger releases. BG3 moving it's release window up to avoid Starfield sandwitched this game between it and Armored Core 6. I hope it still manages to get some decent attention.

rare to see a western dev do an action game with actually decent combat this one was sorely needed now that ubisoft cancelled the sequel to the one decent game they cooked in the past decade the major complaints ive heard is that there is little story and characters and that the gameplay is the best part which only means one thing, this game is a banger

Looks a lot like Kindgom of Amalur

Talking gauntlet? Sounds familiar......
Transmog / multiplayer ?
Probably for the best Mort was at 100% before bg3 full release. For his sanity.
This looks very nice.
Seeing the steam reviews, most are negative due to its crashes and optimization. Which is a miniscule issue for me if it can ne patched.
I hope the game has d-pad movement, although it wouldn’t be bad if not.
I know for me it's a wait for sale but it does look decent
So glad this game is good. I'm going to play it. Seems fun and reminds me of Darksiders
