More Oblivion than Morrowind...a janky Oblivion but all the same have you looked at Morrowind recently because it doesn't look that good. And for a 2013 mobile game? Shits a goddamn miracle.

[@Haggysack2k8]

I'd prefer Morrowind over Ravenswood, regardless if one of them looks better. Morrowind has so much more to offer me and yes this includes nostalgic feelings. Another reason might be the Soundtrack. Another one the sheer complex design of the game itself where Ravenswood looks like it has only the combat part of Morrowind, which is "click left button / mouse button to attack; Hold left button for stronger power attack", so yes this is definately not Morrowind's strength.

[@Madmonkeman]

[@mcblaggart8565]

There's a trend with the Chinese souls-likes: High budget, good animations and art, solid combat, something missing that would make it more than a tech demo. (Also usually either unfinished, abandoned, or both.) Edit: That last one kinda violates the High-budget, and solid combat requirements, but the rest still applies.

what I should’ve said was “jumping is *generally* essential to the experience,” but yeah

[@jblockminermc5401]

Unworthy is such a great game. I would highly recommend playing it without a guide because it would spoil an epic ending. Also I had countless moments where I would literally say “wait that worked?” during boss fights and just random moments throughout the game. That’s one of the things I love about it, the surprising amount of creativity And options you have for dealing with “impossible” situations. If I encountered a tough enemy combination or boss I would simply just switch up my tactics and weapons to deal with the situation. Speaking of bosses the boss fights are fun like very fun, every boss is unique and memorable so if you play through the game again you instantly remember what that boss coming up will be and how to dodge all it’s attacks allowing you to easily melt it since you beaten it before. I would highly recommend Unworthy it’s a very fun game and you will have a great experience like I did.

I had to play Juice World after seeing it in this video and I gotta say I'm a changed man, truly a masterpiece and it was legitimately fun and intriguing trying to find all the things you can do in the game. For anyone interested after you find the house with an attic/basement that has a hole leading to that weird underground area shown in the video there is another hole in one of the towers leading down to what I'm going to assume is "Hell" with a boss monster. After beating him leave through the portal and you will see your buddy from school in the graveyard who mentions the Snake teacher you ditched at the start of the game, at that point my Flight and Energy was upgraded pretty high so I started flying directly up (since we came to the graveyard from falling through the juice door) I wanted to see if I was able to return to the school which yes you can, the teacher is waiting for you with a sword and you end up having a battle with her.

For anyone interested in playing Neopets TDF, a few bits of advice from someone who played that game an absolute ton as a kid: Stock up on potions of Meerca speed. They are cheap and greatly reduce the time you'll spend running around. Don't just mash the circle button. You do a lot more damage by timing your attacks properly. Save at every chance you get. As a side note, I'm surprised that you never mentioned the huge amount of game-breaking bugs the game has. I know it is possible to not run into them but if you are lucky but the number of times they've made me quit and reload was frustrating as all Hell back in the day.

[@bignasty4995]

There’s this game called “Children of Morta” that’s super good. It’s a top down pixel art dungeon crawler but I guess it could also be considered souls like? Either way, it’s worth a shot, very good game but can be monotonous at times.

[@heathenflame]

Yeah the gameplay loop was fun but it was a bit buggy at times

[@GrimmerPl]

Children of Morta is amazing, they made a rogue like game with a really cool story and good combat.

[@Someone-eb6ih]

Happy to see people love an Iranian game

[@vladislavivanov2334]

Nice game but it is more diablo-like than souls-like.

[@bignasty4995]

Vladislav Ivanov true if you play the comparison game for sure, but i feel in some convoluted way it could be considered roughly souls like-ish¿

[@mr.snuggles3564]

Iron pineapple, make a souls-like review of "Mortal Shell" it comes out 12 days from now on every platform and it is very similar to dark souls with a few twists

[@eleanorcerar6273]

Glad to see you covered Unworthy! Criminally underrated game. As everyone else is saying, the level design and boss design are surprisingly well done, but the real catch to me has always been the music. Sure, some songs just kind of fit into the "generic dark souls opera boss battle hullabaloo" genre, but others become much more memorable, especially through leitmotifs. In the fight against Narcoss the Anvil, blacksmithing noises are incorporated into the score, to say nothing of the "secret ending" mechanism that I'll leave spoiler-free...

Bolt of nostalgia when Neopets showed up, I forgot that game existed

[@aquamarinerose5405]

I'd argue/defend Neopets that it's really a case that there's a lot of good things underneath a clunky exterior. 1: The combat is surprisingly deep because you have a somewhat wide array of tools at your disposal (if you time your hits just right you get a normal 3 hit combo, if you mash you get a rapid jab combo or it homes in when you use the rapid on the wizard, you can Charge the attack to get a spin attack or a buster shot that will also have unique effects based on your Motes.. And the mote system is just an interesting setting piece) I mean, it's obviously no Dark Souls but I honestly just really like the concept of the mote system as.. a thing. 2: It definitely has the issue of you having to wander back and forth a lot (And the first chapter really just forces you to suffer through boring chores rather than anything interesting) but the world is surprisingly... I played this game a bit as a kid (never finished it, hope to someday), and I was honestly kinda scared by it. The darkness that covered everything and the complete lack of a fast-travel system really forced you to stew in an environment that felt hostile even if the game wasn't actually that difficult. And I feel like the fact that a NEOPETS Game managed to scare me as a kid (And I wouldn't say it still does, but I do still feel kinda creeped out by the memory if the dark fog on everything and the random battle music). Basically... I think that Neopets deserves a bit more credit in terms of being really interesting and unique, but it falls into the "Licensed Game Trap" that it's just generally unpolished. Honestly if neopets tried to make another darkest faerie type game I'd totally try it just to see what the hell they'd create next. Also-Also. PLEASE let Breath of the Wild 2 have a Neopets-Like ability to swap between playing Link or Zelda at any time.

[@TheDwarvenDefender]

Bruh, that Neopets game looks like it had so much potential.

[@tonytestosteroni2273]

It really captured my imagination as a kid, especially because even if was empty, I still really enjoyed the world, and it's one of the few games that captured that medieval setting I craved as a kid. Unfortunately it suffered a ton of glitches and being unfinished. Also, it scared the hell out of me as a kid; for being a kids' game it has so many areas and things that just freaked me out, including a ton of graveyards and dungeons. Worst of all was the brainwashed eye effect everyone kept after a certain point in the game, even when you were just talking to them like normal. But the aesthetics felt so clean, and like I said, not a lot of games put me in that idealistic "I wanna be a knight" mindset that Tormund had.

[@slothgregory]

This series is my comfort watch Thank you pineapple.

[@Flopfist]

Juice world is both amazing and terrifying at the same time

[@stavguo]

The game at 0:26 is Lucah: Born of a Dream which was reviewed in the second episdoe of this series

[@brittig8983]

Some funny nostalgia for me here, I remember being a kid trying to find RPG games for my ipod. Ravensword was literally the best there was to offer back in 2013. The game is bad, but as a kid who just wanted a way to play some rpg's I actually had a pretty good time. That being said I will never play that shit again lol

[@EvilCoffeeInc]

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie is unironically a great speedrun. Not good casually but the speedrun totally breaks it open

[@JustARandomMexican]

Anyone else get stuck in the Endless Staircase in Neopets as a kid and give up on the game entirely?

[@deathslicers]

yep. had to get one of my parents to figure it out for me because i didn't understand the statues.

[@edgy22]

Everything in a Metroidvania (if it is a true metroidvania) has a purpose for exploration and in combat.

[@alexisdfrz]

I will not sit here and allow Neopets: The Darkest Faerie be dragged like this...again.

[@cho4d]

"the videogame equivalent of leaving your house, remembering 10 minutes later that you left the oven on, returning to your house and then leaving again" lmao

15:48 Is an accurate representation of Dark Souls 3 invasions.
