Yeah some viewers told me the Lord Sword is the best one! To be honest they should have made the 2 blades into 1 and by swapping stances, you swamp abilities, that will been the best. I have one more opportunity to copy a remembrance, but i think i will get Miquella's spell from that one. Oh well, there is always NG+...

@@GorgingGames Light version is the buffed one and is still extremely bad

You unlock colors by either crafting/farming or paying for them. From what i saw, you can craft/unlock most stuff by gathering materials. Like new Descendants, colors, items used to power weapons and Descendants etc. It took me only a couple hours to get the Bunny descendant unlocked for free on the beta, for example. Now i have to play more to check how easy is to farm those items instead of buying them. That's one of the factors that can make or break this kind of games for most.

@@GorgingGames thanks brother appreciate it

Yeah that was weird choice. Let's hope they allow us to do that at a later update.

😂 Well, yeah i cant deny the game has a LOT of fan-service! But gameplay wise is pretty decent. It is a mix of Warframe and Destiny , if you are familiar with those games. Now we have to wait the release to see, if there is enough content to keep players engaged so they spend money for their waifus and husbandos!

Yeah along with the toy bunny backpack, that actually moves and emotes and the dinosaur onesie we have some pretty fun options. I cant wait to see what other funny and weird customization options they will add to the game!

Sharen looks pretty cool and she is kinda unique with her stealth mechanic. Also her ultimate ability can clear a room really fast. I bet there will be some great builds around that. Another non-Bunny waifu that i liked is Valby. Both cute and fast. Also let's not forget the Bayonetta clone, that i didnt get to test on beta. But i think i get most of the characters eventually and test them out.

Yeah a character creator will have been great! But i get it, they went for a more stylized predetermined characters with voice actors and all, that will be easier to implement to the games story. But still the characters/classes we can play look pretty cool and i bet they will add more in the future.

​@GorgingGames I have to admit it does look cool af... still a shame though, I just love being the one who creates a cool af character... It's still epic looking, though. I will definitely be trying this out. 💯

Yeah the game looks pretty cool. I hope it has enough content & the prices of the in game shop are fair. I am gonna check it out on the upcoming days, after i am done with Elden Ring. I know, its not even the same style of game, but Dragon's Dogma 2 had a really interesting and deep character creation. If you like action-RPG games & want to create your own unique character, check it out @pyroplatypus6082 .

@@GorgingGames got over a hundred hours and counting in dd2 😆

Nice! I spend 150+ hours already on Dragon's Dogma 2 and still haven't beaten my first playthrough. I am gonna finally finish it after i am done with Elden Ring's DLC. But let's not forget, "The First Descendant" release date is around the corner! So many cool games, so little time :D !

I hear rumors that they already improved the shop, so if they keep the monetization of the game fair, then i don't mind paying for some cosmetics. Especially if the game has plenty of content & they keep adding interesting outfits for ....ahem the waifus 😁!

@@GorgingGames Waifus power !

Oh i feel you! I love this game and the world they created! I was certain that i would have regretted not pre-ordering it. Alsotrying to find it on later date on the aftermarket is always hard and...very expensive, when it comes to From Software collectors editions or merch! It is disappointing that the artbook was not ready to shipped in time though, but at least Bandai already started shipping them. I'll probably receive min in less than a week.

Luckily nothing has sold out yet in my area so I don’t have to pay scalper prices

Oh, i am sorry to hear that. Its really frustrating when you are awaiting for something so long and then you receive it broken. And to answer your question, i dont think you can move his hand, for example rotate his left one. Seems pretty rigid on my figure. You can always post a photo for me to see and compare, on my twitter on my post for the unboxing x.com/GorgingGames/status/1804083692509274145

You're welcome 😊! Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful! I know the video is a bit long, but i feel character customization and monetization is really important for players of this kind of free to play games, so i want to be thorough!

The game? No, it is not out yet! The fights are from the latest Beta weekend 25th & 26th of May 2024. But the game will be released 2nd of July 2024, so you wont have to wait for long if you want to play it!

Thanks! Glad you like it!

I don't know if my video is that great, but i am glad you enjoyed it! You made a really cool game here! So i hope my video did it justice!

The game is really good with a nice chill vibe! The demo had a lot of content! Now since you did everything on that, you can dive on the full game. The release date is around the corner, at 2nd of April, so you don't have to wait for long.

@@GorgingGames Finished it already like 2 days after launch, sadly I had to use the slow mode, cause damn man XD, that was hard as fak.

Did you enjoy the game overall? You finished it in 2 days, so i guess it was great all the way! I didnt thought it will get that hard later on, but i guess is to be expected when you are on the last boss or so of the game :)

@@GorgingGames definitely, hoping to find more similar games, or yet a sequel, tho it could have been longer too, it was just good, its after the first non ending that everything was just hard.

This is game is a hidden gem for sure! If my video helped you a bit to discover this game, then mission accomplished! One of the reasons i do these demo first impressions is to discover great games that might be overlooked with all the game releases that come out each month. I'll let you know if i find any other similar games in the future 😉

Yeah, i was pleasantly surprised by this game! I expected a more traditional bullet hell game, but it turns out it is also a game heavily inspired by the older games in the Zelda series. This will be a blast on a handheld device (steam deck, Nintendo Switch etc).

Yep too many games use mannequin to add to the eerie,creepy atmosphere and/or use them as a way to guide the player. We have checked at least 3-4 demos that had them on this channel already. But still this was a decent horror game, from what little we show on the demo.

I appreciate that! Even though the "Let's Demo" series of videos, are not full reviews, but my first impressions of a game's demo or prologue!

Yeah Let it Die has a weird charm to it. It has many issues too, but cant help to love this grindy game. Red Napalm Armor set, is one of the best looking sets in the game! And we might get a new recolored version on the NEO version of the War Ensemble tower. All Forcemen items and fight were so cool and unique. I wish they add more new bosses in the future!

Thank you for taking time to check my video. Can you elaborate on what you didn't like about this video so i can improve on the future?

Thanks for taking the time to check my video and comment on it! Now when it comes to my demo first impressions videos, i think i have to clarify something. First I go in blind, having as little info as possible can beforehand, playing them live on my Twitch channel. Second I try to present them more like an early playthrough, than a review. That way people can see how the gameplay loop is, how easy is to learn the mechanics and the general feeling of the game. But i know this style can also work as a detriment to the enjoyment of the video for some viewers! So more feedback is always welcome! I will try to improve more and more with each new video!

"Daddy chill!" But in all seriousness, i do appreciate all comments that try to give feedback to my videos. So ill try to use my "toddlers iq" to "cut out the fat" from my upcoming videos 😉!

@GorgingGames sorry if I came off as rude. I in no way meant to be. I think the video is good and does get the point across. It's clear, and the audio is crisp. I just wanted to present some feedback which, mind you,is only my opinion. I in no way was trying to call you dumb either. Just wanted to point out a little more game sense (noticing what's om screen before making decisions) would be a big help. Atleast when I was making videos it was so thing I lacked and had some larger creators reach out to me and give me this exact advice. Anyways cheers for the reply and good luck!

You were not rude, dont worry about it! Again thanks for the feedback, i really do appreciate it! There is an issue with comments not appearing and that messed up the order of replies. (Check your content creator email for some clarification)

Well it's more of a first impressions video than a review, but i am glad you enjoyed it. You can watch me live, on my Twitch channel www.twitch.tv/georgegorginggames and sometimes here on my KZbin channel.

Couldn't agree more! Cant wait to see the full version! Even though i feel this is more of an action game with some RPG elements, than a Souls-like game!

Yeah, i felt the same. Even though the premise and style is great, it just didn't click with me like others of this genre. It didn't have the same addicting quality and depth or strategy. Might revisit it at some point, to give it another chance.

Thanks! I am glad i am not only one, that thinks that options, especially on a PC version of a game, are always important. That is why, i always check them out, so we can see how much we can optimize the performance of a game, but also as you mentioned, all the accessibility options, languages and many more!

Noted! Even though i try to balance audio to be as smooth as possible. All my demo/first impressions that you see on my KZbin channel, are played live on my Twitch channel. "Audio Ducking", is a way for me to make sure, the game is never too low, or my voice too loud etc while playing and recording live. But i guess it didn't work that well, for this game. Even though i didn't notice it being that bad, before posting it, but ill try to improve it in the future.

I don't think my English is that good, but if this was a sincere comment, i thank you for your compliment. I hope my accent doesn't make my videos hard to watch, especially for native speakers. Now about English being famously hard to learn, for that i am not sure. But it might be because i always consumed English pop culture so it came more natural to me and also, because my own language is consider hard by many.

Thanks for the kind works, i will do! Even though, this is part of my first impressions series, in which i check a game, through the demo or an early build, than a full review! I just try to give the spotlight to games that i find interesting, especially indie games, that might not have a lot of coverage like big titles have.

This game was hard, especially towards the end , but the gameplay is addicting, so i kept pushing till i finished the whole Demo! I think fans of games like Celeste, should check this out.

Thank you for making a cool game!

Thanks for your kind words! Yeah this game looks interesting and kinda nostalgic for fans of older point and click games. There are so many games released each month, that is impossible for someone to keep up with everything. Bringing attention to games i find interesting was the reason i started playing various demos, especially from smaller indie games. I play the demos live on my Twitch channel almost every Monday and then i post my first impressions/playthroughs here. So expect many more similar videos in the future!

Yeah its a weird, quircky idea .Combining horror elements and the cute but creepy old school cartoons, can create an interesting experience! If the puzzles are decent that is.

Glad you enjoy it and you decided to give this game a try! Looks pretty cool and the game can only improve more in the future!

🖖

Me and my great timing... I played the demo on the 16 of October. Usually i try to post the demos i test on my stream soon here on KZbin, but by the time i got to edit and upload it,it was already end of October. And after i published it, i saw on the game's Steam page, that there was a new demo.. I'll try to get around and test the new demo, if possible with a friend to check the co-op function.

@@GorgingGames got it! Thank you for playing our game 😉 Waiting for new videos with your friend)

Yeah i know Bloober Team studio. I wanted to play for ages now Layers of Fear and especially Observer (fan of the cyberpunk genre and Rutger Hauer), but never got to it. Are their games that bad? Medium was received decently by gamers and critics. Now can they do decent job with Silent Hill? I guess we will have to wait and see. Its better to have another studio try something new with the various IPs Konami has, than let them disappear to oblivion, because...Konami is Konami. As for Holstin, this game has a lot of potential. I am waiting for the next demo, to see more gameplay elements of the game.

@@GorgingGames They're not "bad" games per se - they are visually pleasing and work well enough - but Bloober borrow all of their ideas. Observer is trying very hard to mimic the aesthetic of Blade Runner, down to having Rutger Hauer as the narrator. Layers of Fear borrows heavily from Silent Hill P.T., and The Medium based the design of its other world on the works of Polish painter Zdzisław Beksinski. If you want to know more, the KZbinr Bobvids did an excellent breakdown in his video "Bloober Team Bites". In terms of their writing, The Medium was particularly controversial for it's depiction of mental health, as it's story implied that people who are traumatized by abuse are irreparably damaged and will become abusers themselves. Layers of Fear is just generic and boring, with a by-the-numbers "dark family drama" plot. Honestly, if Bloober just does a 1-to-1 remake of Silent Hill 2 with updated graphics and a slightly altered camera and combat mechanics, then it'll probably be fine. But if they get to rewrite parts of the story (like how RE2 Remake changed and added scenes, completely altering the motivations and personalities of some characters), then I'm really worried, as they've shown themselves to be creatively bankrupt hacks in the past, and I don't have faith in their ability to deliver good writing. With all that said, Observer seems to be the gem hidden in their library of trash, not falling into many of their horror game pitfalls, so it's probably still worth checking out. Finally, I have to disagree with your take on using the Silent Hill IP. The original Silent Hill 2 still exists, people can still play it, and it holds up against the test of time. A remake is arguably unnecessary, and if done badly, could further damage the already spotty reputation of Silent Hill as a franchise. Worse yet, since this will be the first proper Silent Hill game since P.T., die-hard fans might feel a pressure to support and praise it regardless of quality, just to "prove" to Konami that the IP is still viable. And yeah, Holstin looks really interesting, and as a Pole myself, I have to say the voice acting is not half bad. I'm very excited to hear Polish spoken in a game again. The Invincible, an adaptation of Stanisław Lem's sci-fi novel of the same name, released recently and it only had English voice acting. A Polish book adapted by a Polish studio, and you can't even hear it in Polish, hah! (They do plan to include Polish dubbing... eventually.) So hearing it in Holstin was a nice change of pace.

I didn't know there was some controversy with Bloober Team, but they seem to have level design and atmosphere down. Good writing and direction, are not easy to come by, but i want to see what they can do with Silent Hills. I wish the P.T. project would have come to a fruition, since Kojima had a dream team for that project, but Konami...is Konami. They don't even do the best they can with their "remasters" like the recent Metal Gear collection. Thats why i mentioned, i would like some other studios to release something with the IPs Konami is holding. Yeah i checked "The Invincible" seems interesting, but walking seems are not my fav game genre. I can understand how disappointing might be for a 100% polish game to be lacking Polish Dub. Holstin can be really interesting if they create an engaging story and manage to balance all the different game elements they want to have in this game.

sonka (Holstin), games operators (Infection Free Zone and Total Tank War) and Gaming Factory (JDM) here I can see chances for spectacular success on polish indie devs @@Halucygeno
