Inscryption: The Most Surprising Game Of The Year

This year has been an interesting one for games. There have been a lot of surprises, but most of them haven’t been the type you actually like to see.
But there have been some great surprises, like Inscryption. It’s a card game/escape room puzzle that released in October 2021, and I think it just might be my game of the year. One of the biggest reasons for this is its masterful use of surprise. In this short essay, I just might convince you to try it and be surprised yourself.

Love these games that surprise the player! I recommend you give Northern Journey a try for that surprise. It's not perfect and more than a little rough around the edges, but one's persistence more than pays off with a weird game with a ton of charm

[@Tomkon]

I hadn't heard of Northern Journey before but it sounds interesting! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@Kyfow]

@@Tomkon hope you like it, it feels like that weird ps2 game you barely remember playing but is strangely appealing Great video of course!

[@Tomkon]

@@Kyfow That weird ps2 game vibe is one I really enjoy, so I won't be waiting long before giving it a try! And thank you!

Is it an unfolding gameplay videogame? Like Armory & Machine or... I forgot that mobile game name Q_q

[@Kyfow]

@@Ramsey276one Nah it's definitely a fairly standard game in terms of how it plays it, it's a first person shooter set in a quasi medieval nordic setting, but it's really full of cool gameplay moments

This channel is very underrated, you make great videos.

Picked it up essentially by random and felt in love with it just as you are saying. I definitelly had the most fun with Act 1 an wish there was more of it so there was reason to play it after you end the game as more typical rogue like just for the fun of it but overall the game and its twists are awesome

[@TheDoctor-yd5mi]

There is the developer came out with Kaycees mod which is endless act one

[@Androlaxy95]

I read gaming magazines and played the neck-breaking demos at the stores. 😂 KZbin has made research a whole lot easier.

Inscryption was probably my favorite game of 2021

I am so grateful he only showed the intriguing Act 1 for this video. There's SO MUCH to be unexpected following the first Act. Inscryption was a game I took a chance on, seeing so many reviews saying "SEARCH UP NOTHING, PLAY THE GAME BLIND!" Therefore, I did play it blind... oh boi did my blindness lead me down a bright, rewarding path. Absolutely get this game. There's a lot more to it than what you just saw.

I was super surprised that inscryption was an indie game and well produced one at that 💙

[@theotherbird8381]

Inscryption is probably the most well-made game i have ever played

[@linkfiedproductions2246]

My friend let me play act 1 of the game and wow, I literally found my 3rd favorite game ever. Then I got to the act 2 and 3, and wow, that game was incredible. Honestly, so good. I still play it to this day

[@BMW-pd2tt]

Is that the God Hand soundtrack in the background i hear? 🤔

[@volcam7803]

I'm looking forward to play this game to see this video and others of this style of analysis without spoiling me anything

[@thoughtprism2963]

This game was indeed awesome. The Messenger is another recent game with a great twist like this.

[@crowcoregames1785]

great video also big true. anyway i highly recommend chicken police. also i recommend listening to the lego marvel superhero's ost

[@jeffreyseamons5514]

I really want to play this game, so I'm leaving a like and a comment but I'm not going to watch.

[@Tomkon]

That's super kind of you, I hope you enjoy it when you get around to playing it!

Legends says, this guy still stack orobouros

[@Ramsey276one]
