Have a Nice Death Review

[@diffyn1466]

Watch on 1.25 playback speed for a normal experience

[@milesreay9420]

This should be top comment

[@3than3rickson]

lol true

[@quiet_erp]

1.5

[@Tomipolus]

Or watch on 0.5 speed if you're drunk.

[@namelessstranger7731]

2.0 is default for a normal KZbin experience

[@Chuckflanigan]

For a decent review I’ve never felt more like the reviewer absolutely hated this game by their tone.

[@venum90]

If a reviewer ever says they "love a challenge and difficult games, but.." it's because they are bad anyways. 100 runs to even see the last boss? pretty insane

[@PSUC3]

It’s because he’s talking in slow-mo

[@kaelthas06]

This is not the reviewer, reviewers write the script and they get someone else to read it and record, that being said, you're absolutely right lol

[@jgal7979]

@@kaelthas06 This is the reviewer. They credit both contributors at the start when there's more than one person doing it usually

[@eseleaka]

Put this on x1.25 or x1.5 speed if you don't wanna fall asleep to this guy's voice

[@karencampbell7507]

Thanks 👍

[@piggytripper3704]

Thats kinda rude

[@zZedicuss]

But its true, thanks for the tip

[@mydor123451]

Omg he sounds normal on 1.5

[@fultonyt8989]

Woah

[@identityMF]

This guy’s mood is killing mine

[@egesgt]

This is your problem

[@chrisblair9272]

Agreed. Gives it an 8/10. Tone sounds like he wants to give it a 5/10

[@TheRj725]

seriously. had to watch it at 2x speed

[@mautsukuda]

Reminds me of Toby in The Office. Lol.

[@GGdrive1]

Narration is very lacking.

[@Lolatusername]

Can you please get someone to voice over this that doesn't sound like they're being put to sleep by their own voice.

[@itsme3550]

Watched this video to the end, I've now got depression thanks to this guys mood 😂

[@ghostxplatinum]

Seems like a pretty solid roguelike. What really stands out to me is it’s bright and flashy visual effects. Also getting some Hollow Knight vibes from this one.

[@2D_Stranger]

Hollow Knight and Dead Cells had a baby

[@cookieeaturface]

Just a heads up if it matters, skull face aside, the game does not feel or play anything like Hollow Knight

[@poggestfrog]

@@cookieeaturface No, no, everyone knows all 2D platformers are Hollow Knight clones.

[@arcadeportal32]

@samdelonggames This, and hopefully the bosses won't go from "That was Easy" to "Welcome to Dark Souls Git Rekd & Git Gud in 3 Seconds"... just watched the full review, and that might be a thing with the bosses, maybe not as bad. One of the few things that made me rage quit Hollow Knight was the difficulty curve just goes from 0 to 100 super quick and one boss just kept kicking my butt to the point it wasn't even fun anymore.

[@Brenox777]

@@arcadeportal32 bro HK isnt that hard, u just have to unlock the skills to get stronger, all bosses except NK grimm, broken vessel and any radiance are easy asf

[@Woogsie]

This dude sounds defeated

[@ThatGuy-Noob_69]

Never heard a guy who sounds as normal as this guy does at 1.25x speed. 1x sounds like they actually purposely slowed down his voice😅

[@CampbellYoungblood]

Woah so true. Did they? 🤯

[@COREcasual]

It's so weird that he seemed to complain the entire time and then gave it an 8

[@John-bj1zx]

Sounded incredibly bored the whole time, too, like that one professor who talks completely monotone and by-the-book.

[@SizeNZ]

Are we sure IGN didn't accidentally set the video to 0.75x?

[@cassidy8307]

The praise was at the beginning and end and made it clear that it had really fun gameplay despite its issues

[@MordredArkwright]

"It has a little something for everyone."

[@anmoldembla4743]

That's IGN for you lol

[@iusedtoofftank9110]

this made me want to read a review rather than watch, tone killed it.

[@saintsalieri]

Everyone sounds better at 1.75x speed.

[@MichaelBabcock]

Having spent many years playing one of the OG rogue-likes, Nethack, not having significant persistent upgrades still seems perfectly acceptable to me.

[@voidgirl6194]

Cuphead barely has upgrades and it’s amazing

[@BilboTbaggins420]

@@voidgirl6194not a roguelike lol

[@mustbemcally2536]

Looks like it plays like Dead Cells but with a nice coat of death on it...I'm in

[@hakandoga5878]

Well, if you never actually jump in boss fights to dodge their attacks and walk around, the odds of beating a boss will decrease exponentially..

[@CasualCoreK]

You might say the disappointing progression system is a case of upgrades wanted, wasted?

[@hersh23]

Sheesh. This is the second review I've seen that brings up the issue of progression and how even though the game is amazing to look at, playing it can be draining and at times even uninspiring. Though interestingly enough, it got an 8! Lol

[@I-Rex232]

sounds like a skill issue lol

[@chrisblair9272]

Yeah, this guy only mentioned Hades as a comparison, so I’ll take this review with a grain of salt.

[@apexnext]

​@@chrisblair9272you should take every review with a grain of salt. Just like every music review and movie review they are all subjective. 😊

[@FlatThumb]

"For more dead stuff, check out our reviews of Resident Evil 4..." 08:04 🤣 Love the art style. It looks like a mixture of Limbo, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Samurai Jack.

[@aether388]

Surprised at the 8. That sounded more like a 7

[@devinforman8213]

He sounds defeated. Looks fun though

All the Mori Calliope references in this are impressive. Leana Hafer is truly a dedicated deadbeat.

[@Terranallias18]

[@santiagomoralesgarcia1802]

as a vtuber fan, what are the Calliope reference of this game?

[@EmpressOfEgo]

@@santiagomoralesgarcia1802 The game itself doesn't reference Mori Calliope, it's only this review which has a ton of references to her, like quoting her song names, lyrics, or the chapter titles literally just being Calli song.

Why is he recording inside of a telephone booth

[@sanjapananime]

Reviewed on OC? When is that coming out?

Have a nice death's run system is alot like spelunky's progression system, some people will like that and some people wont

[@jandrocabello]

This was reviewed on OC, glad it finally got some respect

[@BigBrotherGnE]

My man's voice is a throwback of the classic KZbin days.

[@eltongraves4341]

This guy is complaining that the game doesn't have much meta-progression, but like... that's what a rogue-like is. Ever played Enter the Gungeon for instance?

[@Ichbinsnur2181]

Just got it on switch. On handheld, it is barely readable

[@embers1224]

somebody give the reviewer a cup of coffee

[@TheUruse]

Is 1.0 gonna be really an improvement? Tried early access and doing mob is pointless just rush to the end level to get upgrade. Potion is extremely rare and food buff kinda useless too

[@jasonaguilar3109]

in the video, says reviewed on "OC" lol

[@bokbokeh]

It’s a fun game, flashy af!

[@TRazor176]

Surprised he compared it first to Hades and not Hollow Knight

[@TRazor176]

@KZbin Userman even some of the attacks and dash animations look exact like the hollow knight animation too tbh

[@John-bj1zx]

Not surprised the Soulsborne reference was here though, tired of the constant comparisons to them. Surprised they didn't say "The Dark Souls of Roguelike".

[@noelalben6250]

Where’s the GODAMN EXCITEMENT in this review

nice typo at the end! LOL What is a OC?

Play this in 0.25X speed for a great experience!

Guy's voice sounds like a Disco Elysium character.

[@iluvatarchem]

Dude Hades is a rogue LITE. This is ALMOST a rogue LIKE, apart from the small permanent upgrades. Do you even know the difference?

[@mortzy2149]

You're going to see a lot of comparisons between this game and Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, etc. Trust me, this game is not even close to the quality of those. The art might make you think that it has depth elsewhere but it does not.

[@carldablob324]

Dead Cells still remains the king of roguelikes imo

[@slothsarecool]

kinda wish it was just a metroidvania, looks nice visually

[@MegaKuchiku]

This dude reads with the enthusiasm of a sloth racing against a turtle.

Hear me out, the reviewer sounds like that to match the burnt out workplace tone the game has. Or atleast that makes this review funnier to me than it actually is.

[@HankScorpio468]

1.25x speed = bearable 1.5x speed = normal 2x speed = SHAPIRO MODE

[@Scorpoid]

Bro sounds like he is standing on the edge. First video ever where 2x speed sounds more normal.

[@kainesp2]

Over 100 runs for the final boss? How bad were they playing?!

[@chrisblair9272]

And that was only for him to SEE the final boss. As someone who plays a lot of rogue lites/likes this guys game play was terrible. He was skipping half the enemies in the levels. No wonder he couldn't get anywhere. Took me 26 tries to see the final boss and I'd say i'm slightly above average at action roguelikes.
