Indie Games Searchlight: Axiom Verge | The Completionist

[@voidmaster45]

This guy is great, he is the reason I discovered one of my favorite games Cave Story.

[@snomangaming]

I watched Tyrone from Nicalis play this on his Twitch the other day, and I thought it looked fantastic! I've been getting more into Metroidvania's lately, and want to check out some new ones. Obviously it's influenced, but it looked clever and neat to me. Awesome series Mark! I think I remember seeing your series on Normal Boots back in the day? Is that true? Either way, I hope you get more exposure! Indies need all the love we can give them :) Keep it up!

[@mylifeingaming]

Well deserved. Mark has been a huge supporter of us since we first started and it's great to see him get featured here.

[@Lomaxxx53]

Hey great to see Mark in a bigger spotlight. Love his show and found a lot of great and complete games thanks to him.

[@Haedox]

Axiom Verge may be the one reason I get a PS4

[@limmynade]

Lol

[@BuhLayr]

Shhh keep them in the dark

[@Pops333]

Haedox Bloodborne

[@Edgewalker001]

Haedox I'll just wait and get it on PC.

[@syndixel9857]

Fahri Mert Bilgiç Brother! :D

[@SunderCR]

Mark deserves all of the subs, this video was great and don't forget to check out his channel if you liked it :)

[@Sil3ntLynx]

Hi, jimmy! Have you heard about the new Isaac dlc? What do you think of it?

[@cajbajthewhite4889]

***** Seriously tho, me too

[@Sil3ntLynx]

Haha, no, I meant the Afterbirth DLC for the Binding of Isaac :D

[@cajbajthewhite4889]

So I gathered.

[@Tetrium]

This is in my top 3 of most immersive games I've ever played. I had shivers almost half of the time while I was playing.. The creepiness of some parts brought me back to the 6 year-old me going through maze dungeons in Kid Icarus on the NES.

[@SDK2K9]

Thank you Jirad and Mark for showing me this game. REALLY looking forward to the PC version. (I don't have a PS4 or Vita)

[@TheBilli96]

Wow! Are you from the future?!

[@SDK2K9]

Oh lol I put in "PS44"

[@AshyCat]

DashieSparkle no one has a vita, there are like 5 games for it and most are on other consoles

[@AshyCat]

Ashy Cat 5 good games*

[@TheBigLegendary]

I have a vita ._.

[@PsytheZero]

Forget spotlighting this show, move it to this channel permanently.

[@jjr8108]

Rewatching this again in hype mode for Axiom Verge 2.

[@rkctkc3158]

This video made me buy and play the crap out of it. 20 hours in so far and can't get enough of it. Thanks for the upload

[@stevenn1940]

Watching this as you approach 1 million subscribers. I hope your channel grows even more! You're one of my favorite youtubers, and I wish you and all the crew the best moving forward.

[@PocoQuinn]

That was awesome, Mark! I'm excited for this game to come to a system I own. I'd love to see more IGS on here

[@PhyreI3ird]

Wow! I remember reading about this game in Gameinformer and hearing how it was so much like Metroid but this show case _really_ got me interested in the game! Thanks for the awesome spotlight!

[@LAKster]

You guys have to put this on this channel, he deserves the massive audience!

[@TeuCat]

"From New Mexico" That feeling that you get when something includes the state you live in.

[@michaelwebster5011]

Love too see the editors who put so much time into editing the videos that they get shown and appreciated for all the hard work. And it's not like jirard doesn't do this enough I just like to see it.

[@cosmiclikesminecraft]

Im back about 6 years later, and Im so glad you made this vid. Axiom Verge was the game that introduced me to the world of Indie Games, and WHAT a fantastic indie game to start on. I hope to see Axiom Verge 2 make an appearance on the channel soon

[@SunkermacGunker]

I am, Suprised, to say the least, at how AV2 turned out

[@TravestyJunction]

(hysterically crying) I ain't never had a friend like Greg (continues to hysterically cry) Honestly, I finally subscribed today. Your content stays consistently awesome.

[@hard4games]

Awesome video Mark! Glad to see you getting a spotlight!

[@Saiavinn]

I'm late on the bandwagon, but that's fine. The game feels fantastic, and I love the weapons and abilities I've seen thus far. The bosses are a blast- difficult, but patterns and safe spots show themselves with a little focus. I just started the pathogen segment. Starting up, I went from curious to concerned. But then I died. And now I've gone from concerned to outright scared. I feel like this is a defining moment of the game for me and I freaking love it! DEMON

[@britishdantheman]

Great to see the Searchlight getting exposure. Had no idea he edited the Completionist. Great review.

[@gglegenday]

What really hooked me to Indie Games Searchlight a couple of years back was the superb work on Cave Story. It literally made me have another level of appreciation to indie games.

[@kristopherbruns7674]

Yeah I would love to see more of this! And congratulations on 400,000!

[@JuneCrashRadio]

MARK IS MY HERO!!! Seriously buddy you're family to me, if you see this know I'm proud of ya.

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

Congrats on 400k!!! I'll definitely be subscribing to Indie Game Searchlight as well because this was just awesome, and the gamelooks great as well. It's good to see Sony is still committed to working with indie game devs and didn't just use that as a marketing ploy during the release of the PS4.

[@treesheehee1683]

This is a great quality video. I can't wait to see more on this channel! Please do more!!

[@PerrydactylShow]

So happy to see Indie Game Searchlight get some love!

[@EpicGameMusic]

Mark Carr is one of the greatest dudes I've ever met! Indie Games Search Light and this video are awesome! Share the hell out of this!

[@majic200]

It would be cool to see more video content here. Especially since this is a different perspective than the normal AAA games covered. Congrats on 400k, cant believe I used to be here during 32k, oh how its grown. Love it.

[@RPGtourguide]

Congratulations on over 400k subscribers! :) I'm sure it'll be no time at all before the next milestone. ;)

[@Seeeeeeeeeeth]

I've always loved you Mark. Great work, as always. Keep it up man!

[@gillythekid]

reeeeeallly wanna play this.

[@Rockleefan3]

I watched two videos of you and i like them a lot! I'm really happy that you have a profile picture like the most Content creators. Without that picture i wouldn't had clicked on your channel. And people which read my comment, check his channel out!!! Or i won't give my next Metapod a nickname! Do you want that?!!! I don't think so! So, click on his channel!!!!

[@daggerwingthg7242]

Bobi das Warzenschwein metapod can harden all he wants too i'm not gonna let him have a nickname

[@bobbyberetta4206]

+8-Bit Eric 👬

[@rakatika]

This was awesome! I've watched / read other reviewers talking about this game and they didn't examine it anywhere near as much as you did. Way to go Mark!

[@DarshUK1]

Mark Carr, think I was subbed to you before the completionist so this is just awesome

[@viewtifuljoe99]

I remember seeing work in progress posts from tom at the talking time forums I used to lurk. It's very cool to finally play something that had so much hard work put into it

[@stupidguysdoingstupidthing6694]

Definitely want to see more of this, it was a really good watch.

[@alexmurray888]

That was great Mark! I would absolutely love to see this again, so please make it happen!!

[@Zionfarm]

Thank you Jirad and Mark for showing me this game. REALLY looking forward to the Vita/3DS/Wii U/PS3 version. (I don't have a PS4 or PC)

[@Killzone25b]

Yeah please do have more of the indie search light on the completionist because I am a big fan of the indie search light and like you guys do more colab videos. I actually was watching the indie search light before I learned of the completionist all those years ago funny enough.

[@SpotterX4]

Great video. I would definitely love to see more Indie Game Searchlight videos in the future.

[@loadingreadylover620]

This man deserves at least 4,000,000 subs

[@DJDadJoke]

I was already subscribed to Mark, but I wouldn't mind having him here as well. I really like IGS.

[@RPGgrenade]

I actually saw Mark's video on To the Moon, and my GOD did I want to thank the guy.

[@zaldbathar4866]

RPGgrenade to the moon is an awesome game!

[@RPGgrenade]

Cyrion Zexero perhaps not the best game, but definitely the most effective story!

[@Entwizzler96]

RPGgrenade I cry every time

[@randominternetsurfersurfin7595]

Which mark the iplier mark or this mark ( I'm stupid

[@gabrielgomesbrito]

This is great content! Thanks for pointing it out, guys!

[@techdeth]

Cant wait to get this when i get home, thanks for the shout out guys

[@MrServantRider]

You deserve so many more than 400,000! I've been with you since... well, for a long time, and you're probably my VERY FAVORITE youtuber! The only ones that even compete are Chuggaaconroy, Versus, and Markiplier, and I honestly like your channel more than all of theirs even! I hope your channel just keeps on growing, and may we never see the DKC2 review. ;3

[@MrZachRainville]

As soon as I finished this video, I bought the game. Then I watched the Super Beard Bros episode on it, which got me even more stoked. Holy shit, this looks so rad. Anyways, congrats to Jirard to 400K, and Mark, you got yourself another subscriber!

[@snickle1980]

😂That's what I like to hear. "The map might be a bit TOO large" Oh no! Anyway...

[@CamsEyeView]

Love Indie Game Searchlight. Very entertaining show. Wish it came out more often, but I can see why it does since he also works on your show. Love to talk to ya sometime Mark!

[@fixowgaming8527]

Good job guys and a big congratz to 400k! :D

[@jimmygrenier9668]

1 million subscribers later: No problem, dude! You deserve it! ;) Great review of a stupidly good game! Got this one for free and didn't think of it much by the screenshots... But I must have played through like 10 times now. Just can't get enough of it! The music, the mechanics, the controls, the themes, everything of this game is absolutely perfect! One guy though.... that's incredible...

[@mysterwhymedia]

Shout outs if you're here after Axiom Verge 2 dropped!

[@MungkaeX]

Metroid Dread is coming... Finally

[@tay1290]

Please make more Indie Games Searchlight episodes, I was surprised that I liked it.

[@MrMagical4]

Please do this more! Maybe have both of you commentating, so mark does all the game design, gameplay and story elements and jirard can just chip in at the end to tell us about 100% completion

[@TimmyHD]

You deserve it, Jirard! Thanks for making us all appreciate games that much more.

[@RanCossack]

I really liked this vid. I never knew Mark had his own channel, let alone his own show! I'd definitely love to see more Indie Searchlight here, and I'm definitely going to go and subscribe to your channel, Mark. I love hearing about obscure indie titles, since quite often, they're a ton of fun to play, at a far more reasonable price than most triple-A games released today. Great vid, like I said, would definitely love to see more. Keep up the amazing work, Mr. Edit-Tron-5000. =)

[@Rubberman202]

Mark has found himself a new subscriber! And it's funny this was made after Jirard got 400,000 subscribers, and now he's at 784,000 subs (at least, at the time of me writing this comment). I'll watch more of those Indie searchlight videos after I finish with Jirard's stuff! ...I wonder if Jirard will ever complete Axiom Verge, though...

[@AwesomeNick94]

Great video about an amazing game. I actually just finished platinum-ing this game this week, and did a speedrun for fun on my twitch channel yesterday. Beat it in an hour and 18 minutes! (But don't be discouraged, the game took me 20+ hours to complete on hard with 100% completion!)

[@Krethean]

I'd be happy to see more Indie Games Searchlight if it can be fitted in. Definitely subbing Mark's channel for sure, but more content like that would actually be a breath of fresh air to the channel with the post-Gerg era. Something like that (even if it's not exactly like that since Mark does this on his own channel) could help steer the channel in a very good direction. Least that's how I feel. Hell, as it is I want to get Axiom Verge when it comes out on PC.

[@TheMovieWeeb]

Mark is awesome. Now I want to play this game. But first to watch more of mark. This is a awesome new show and I want more already.

[@mreid9989]

i definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of indie searchlight on this channel. i can never pass down more content :)

[@SolidSanicsIlluminarty]

FIRST, WE ACHIEVE 400K. NEXT, HALF A MILLION. THEN, A MILLION.

[@brytonbehrend7906]

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSS I haven't seen the video yet but super indie search light used to be one of my favorite things. I'm so hyped for this.

[@brytonbehrend7906]

Bryton Behrend Awesome video. I love the inclusion of a cave story song at the end.

[@TheNM22Show]

It seems like this game is a much play for any Metroid fan! Great video, Mark! And Jirard, congratulations on 400k subscribers ;)

[@yarek-karey6902]

Indie Games Spotlight on the Completionist? ... Yes. More! It was Jirard who first introduced me to Shovel Knight, so I'd personally be glad to see more games like this one (Axiom Verge) receive some coverage.

[@GenerationGamingLPs]

Wow. This is pretty friggin' good. Maybe we can see more of this on the TOVG channel on the future, maybe on Tuesdays? That would be awesome if you did that. Nonetheless, great video. Keep up the great work Mark, Jirard, and everybody else! You deserve every sub!

[@samayo2006]

Awesome! This looks like what I imagine Metroid Dread would have looked like if it had been completed.

[@Nikkitapup]

this is a great show! I think this would be a great addition to the channel, and even if it doesn't get added, I will probably search more out later.

[@darkmage07070777]

Oh Mark Carr, I'm so excited!!

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Now I have something to look forward to if I ever buy the PS4. Thank you Mark, and I think I'll be checking your channel out soon.

[@MohlaVarun]

Watching at the moment of your channel getting 800k subs..Congrats..

[@chipbunk1591]

Really well crafted and up to standards of this channel. Yeah I want more!

[@Javierm0n0]

OH. MARK. CARR. this game looks awesome i needs it.

[@kevinharding4176]

This game, and Ghost Song are on my Indie list this year.

[@vdogaymer]

Thanks for letting me know about this game! Great review.

[@UnclePraisen]

This is amazing! Because it shines a lot of light on the indie games and gives them new life :)

[@vlorenzosoleri]

That was a cool review... I definitely would like to see more of this on the channel! Altough I'm now interested in checking out Mark's channel xD anyway, nice job and congrats on your 400k subs

[@zechfrost1141]

I'd love to see more Indie Game Searchlight on the TOVG channel!

[@CaptainPerfect]

Yup Mark is awesome :DD, definitely gonna check out his channel.

[@Mpoil777]

Oh, Marc Car, you are amazing!

[@TheSpinnyFish]

Yay completionest!!!! I love you + big hugs!

[@DrkPinkMage]

I'd love to see more of this show... It really digs into good indie games

[@chaimedia2025]

I've never played metroid before. I've hardly seen any of the metroid series, but this straight up made me go.."This looks like metroid" and then he says it in the video lol...

[@AustinJFerret]

No other review of this game I've seen ever mentioned how the creator's personal musings on the nature of reality contributed heavily to the story of this game, so I had no idea that this was even a thing. I love stuff like that, so my thoughts on this game have gone from "I like Metroidvanias, so I'll pick it up someday" to "gonna have to grab this one as soon as possible"

[@adambrown1837]

I saw this game on Super Beard Bros and was immediately intrigued by it. I can't wait to play it on the Vita or PC.

[@bartkomedy]

Oh god the remix at the beginning I need it all over my face where can I find this wonderful song?

[@TheCasualMark]

Mark should be in more videos. He has a great voice for reviews :)

[@MegaBadMongo]

Oh so thats what the head is for.....wtf....finished the game with over 90% items and over 80% map and never knew you could use that :o

[@Lokiren686]

Well this game flew under my radar but I'm definitely going to buy it now. Thanks Mark!

[@big_lolo_01]

ur welcome this is one of the best channels that I like keep up the great job

[@heymemesaucevichaelhere9595]

I would love to see more Indie Game searchlight on this channel

[@Lisa-pn3fm]

this would be something cool to put into rotation for Tuesday videos.

[@evaunit2005]

Met Thomas Happ at PAX. Super nice dude and hope he makes more projects

[@Immorpher]

I never had an issue with a size of a game as long as the environment fascinates me, and Axiom verge is definitely fascinating. I think what can help with these games is some randomized enemy generation and migration, so old areas offer something new. Maybe even environment degradation / growth, so it looks slightly different or reveals optional power ups?

[@azzahnoble]

Will we see an Axiom Verge episode of the Completionist? Come on, "a completionist nightmare"? That's got YOU written all over it!

[@MaikuBoy1]

This guy makes great content. Keep up the good work. Subbed to him.

[@KevinPalmer]

Yes, more indie stuff please!

[@CaptainShimmer118A]

You been hitting the gym Jirard? Guns are looking polished.
