Happy Hobbit Day Morph!

[@nekoninya1512]

I actually really love the graphics of this game! There is so many photorealistic games nowadays that something this styleized is a beautiful breath of fresh air. It also looks so nostalgic, perfect for a game about Hobbits! 😊

[@AmazingJPikmin]

Yea! I feel the same way!! I don’t get what everybody is saying about the graphics! I don’t want every game to have the exact same realistic graphics

[@TheWretchedOwl]

I’m so glad someone finally made a LOTR game that isn’t about everybody killing everybody.

[@StorytellerForeverYT]

Could not agree more!

[@Youtubetrollpolice]

And also woke included

[@ilumiRose]

I'm loving how this game is looking so far and I plan to get it once it releases, although I won't say no to you playing more of it. I quite like crocheting while listening to your playthrough of this game. It's quite comforting

[@johnzaccagnini8317]

One more thing, speaking from real life experience petting a giant pig followed by a few good "hearty" pats on the back is much more satisfying than imagined! Pigs are such a fascinating creature!😂😊

[@calebtemple1253]

So adorable the way he swings his arms when running around. And the detail of the character are just as visible in gameplay as they were in character creation. And your voice acting brings this whole game to life! So glad I found your channel. You have an amazing voice, I could listen to you talking gobbledygook and just relax into a puddle.

[@heatherraico3308]

Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck - correct! Good job, Morphy!!

[@abigailroyland3683]

Yayyy, I’m glad Morph picked this one up. I’ve seen other people reviewing, so I was awaiting Morph’s play through

[@Scox61]

Happy Hobbit Day!! I was hoping I’d get to watch you play this one!

[@crawfishpi]

Yes Merry - Dom Monaghan's character in the movie, is Merrydock Brandybuck and Peregrin Took aka Pippin is Brady Boyd's character

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

I'm sorry, but I just really don't like the way the graphics looks. It makes me feel like I'm watching something that came out 15 years ago. 😭 I don't HATE it, but I just wished it looked a little different.

[@MsSarahJosephine]

That's kind of what I like about it - probably a nostalgia thing. That being said there are some games these days that have tried pushing their graphics so far forward that they look worse than the games they made 10 years ago _glances over at Assassins Creed_ Makes me appreciate games that go for style over top graphics.

[@christineherrmann205]

Yeah, the art style is distinctive, but it grew on me as I watched.

[@Nina-nh5pp]

it does look like an old wii game huh 😅

[@Aurora_262]

I love this! It reminds me of the animated Hobbit movie. I will definitely be checking this game out!

[@lavenderotaku2481]

As someone who's read The Hobbit- **Screams in Tolkien** THIS GAME LOOKS SO CUUUUTE. I'm getting it ASAP. Edit: I'd love to live in a village or small-town! They're so cute and you can get to know everyone! ❤😊 Also marking my timestamp: 28:41

[@summerreadingnook]

That’s so cool you got to play this game! I hope to play it someday. I love what you said about your favorite thing being to sit by water, watch birds, I feel the same way.

[@johnzaccagnini8317]

Amazing my friend! Now this is the absolute definition of the term "cozy game"! And all your fascinating and charming character voices just give it that little bit of "cozy" that it lacked and it made me want to never stop watching and listening to the story being told! It's almost like watching a recreated version of "The Hobbit" movie being told by your soothing style of narration and story-telling... Thank you for being transported to incredibly fascinating world of hobbits, wizards, dwarfs, and the wide array of other species and creatures that exist in a world of magic!

[@WitchlingSimmer]

Omg you start as one of the “city hobbits” from Bree. That’s perfect. (Though I pretty much died when the character was named Bungo like Bilbo’s father.)

[@bobrosario1621]

I just found this channel. I love how I can play games while watching or just simply rest and fall asleep. Also the voices you do are 10/10.

[@kdandsheela]

this was a very relaxing play through, I'm so ecstatic that this IP is being used for a smaller cozy game, it's obvious the devs love this setting. The writing is very promising and I know I'll put a few dozen in this game, at the very least.

[@nayyellowgirl4033]

I’m so happy at your peace whenever you visit the duckies and swans. I hope to find my own version of duck watching. Of peace in that way. I don’t think I’ve ever truly experienced that.

[@dhireshyadav1783]

When I watched Lord of the rings, I always imagined myself living in shire.

[@Jess_le_best_ahh]

It looks so cute ❤

[@anixara9]

I'm definitely buying the game when it comes out, but I'm really hoping we can choose 'Took' as a last name

[@majourvelencianna5810]

I didn't even know there was a Hobbit day!!!

[@mochalatte907]

I am absolutely in love with this game already from what I’ve seen! I was hoping you’d do a video on it, and here we are! Love your videos, and commentary on the games you showcase! 💕💕

[@Sywolfe]

The graphics style looks a lot like My Time at Portia

[@SleepyKiitty]

Absolutely loved seeing Morph get immediately sidetracked at the sight of a swan and ducks🩷 I’ve had my eye on this game since the first teaser announcement, I’m beyond in love with everything I’m seeing.

[@mackenziescholl8881]

I absolutely love it so far! A cozy LOTR game? Uhm yes!!!!

[@wormrocket]

i’m so happy you’re one of the people who got to play this early!

[@yeebee9730]

My Grandma used to make rhubarb crumble with custard, it was divine, it's sweet but also veeeery sour without the custard!

[@missdire]

Back when she was a kid, my mom would go into the back garden with a little cup of sugar and pick the rhubarb there then dip it in the sugar and just munch away! I've never had rhubarb but I'd love to try it!

[@Moonbeam7891]

I liked the look of this game, looks very calming to play. I'm currently playing My Time at Sandrock and it's very manic trying to make everything in time 😂

[@folkloreadventures]

What a delight!! I've been waiting for you to play this Morph. All your voices are just perfect! The whole feel of the game has a lovely sense of nostalgia to it. It really feels like the developers have finally made a game for people like me, who don't like fighting the bad guys and just want to stay in the village, make friends, forage, decorate and be merry. 💚

[@djfox31]

love the name of the lil guy! especially since Bungo Baggins was Bilbo's dads name XD

[@essie2732]

I love the game graphics. It's nice to have an artistic style instead of an ultra realistic one. I am also reflectivly pale lol

[@NisMacklin818]

Why do you make every game seem magical? I have bought so many because of you. I’ll definitely be getting this one too 💚

[@mardiray159]

This is lovely. What a wonderful choice. Please show more when it releases.

[@missdire]

Something about the aesthetic reminds me of a Lego game gone rogue. And I'm okay with that! It's very chipper and cutesy. Like someone else mentioned - it's nice that someone finally made a LoTR game that isn't all about war and strife and death! We've always heard about how beautiful and peaceful the Shire is, and we *finally* get to experience it. (Also, my boys are always worried that we're late for school - even though we never are - and I tell them exactly that: We're wizards; we arrive precisely when we mean to.)

[@josephgeorge5741]

I'm dying of Adorbs.

[@MelaineKeddy]

You should check out Magical Delicacy! It's very cozy and the 'platform' style is unique for the farming sim genre!

[@mackenzies6020]

This reminds me a lot of Fae Farm so I know I'll love it when it comes out 🥺

[@vegassims7]

They were suppose to drop this game this month, but its been pulled until 2025, but they gave no reason for the delay?

[@SilentPsychopath]

Apparently it was so they could work more on the game and polish it up more. Personally, I don't mind, I'd rather wait and have a good start than have it now but not so good.

[@against1virus]

my guess is the backlash for changing the original lore by including black hobbits to meet diversity quotas

[@sneazymcsneaze4214]

@@against1virus Oh shut up, PLEASE. I've had to read one to many racial slurs about this damn game. Unlike you, I doubt weta cares as much about hobbit skin colour as you do.

[@wormrocket]

it looks so cute so far, but one thing i need for the full release is smoother animation. the animations just feel so plain, and clunky when they change. i just want a smooth transition between the animations. and if i can be picky, for them to refine the characters just a little. i appreciate the old style, they just need smoothing out. they still look like polygons.

[@Edengar86]

This is so nice.. I might wanna get it, if it's on the switch too. Thanks, it was a really enchanting watch 😊

[@afkava9065]

Was hoping you might play ShineHill. Funny cute cozy game.

[@gigi3242]

Very pretty game, with enough things to do to keep interest. Have a lovely week.

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

Yeah, I saw this on Steam!

[@meazalove7596]

I love watching ur gameplay above all!

[@draconefox]

When I first watched the trailer I thought it’d be a low effort repetitive game, but this looks so cute! I can’t wait to play it

[@laurieb3703]

I really loved this! I hope you play it more! I didn't want it to end lol

[@bunnyrabbitnana13]

I cant wait to make meals to share thats sooo cute

[@DianaGerlach-i5o]

Thank u for the introduction of the game, I love it and looking for the release. I enjoyed the presentation, good work.

[@iluvsakuraandsyaoran]

im pleasantly surprised by how well thought out this seems! i admit i was pretty skeptical of this game at first, but having birds and butterflies as the UI instead of stuff on a screen is just the perfect sort of thoughtfulness i'd want to see in a game like this. i also love all the critters we've been seeing, like birds and ducks and swans and pigs and sheep and chickens! i hope we get some bunnies and squirrels too

[@sipsu77]

what a lovely little game

[@StorytellerForeverYT]

I hope they add beard options the only thing I missed unless there were some.

[@WhaleKit9]

As a 5.6ft this game is relatable

[@chaoticsad5549]

I love the way the game looks. Reminds me of a cute children’s book ♥️

[@jayburgess6309]

I know I’ve asked this a lot but I’m gonna keep asking until you ask me to stop, a while back you did a partial play through of a game called Forspoken, do you think you might ever be interested in doing a full play through of that at some point?

[@missdire]

Oh! That game!! I watched another playthrough of it. It was a good game, though the protag got really irritating. But she had a decent character arc. It was fun though, regardless.

[@jayburgess6309]

@@missdire yeah, madmorph did a partial play through of it about a year ago I think, I really enjoyed him playing it so I’ve been asking about his thoughts on another play through for a little while, haven’t heard anything back yet

[@MadMorph]

it's very unlikely i'll go back to it i'm afraid that ship has sailed! I think that was actually a VOD of a live stream, and I just never went back to it.

[@jayburgess6309]

@@MadMorph Thank you for the answer, I just started watching your content recently and have been really enjoying.

[@lydiathacker7319]

I would go to the lake a little white duck we named Aflac and he was always with a little black duck we named Progressive.

[@lydiathacker7319]

A few years later I swear I saw their children because I say a little black and white duck that behaved just like Alfac and a little shy duck followed him around and acted just like Progressive.

[@galacticmoonwolf8462]

How did you manage to get the demo? That's awesome, this game looks amazing too. Nice and cosy Still unsure about the character art but everything else looks so beautiful

[@sarinasunshinee8506]

i see morph video i click

[@mcgee227]

This is a typical Gen-X question, and I know im going to catch some flak for it. But, why in the opening is the character female?

[@wormrocket]

it’s the character creator! where you can customise your character to make them look how you want. it must automatically show you the female character first, and then you can turn it into a male if you prefer. you’re not supposed to be bilbo baggies in this game, you’re just yourself!

[@twin3290]

Why does it look like this game was made 10+ years ago? kinda disappointing

[@KoolKitty917]

Good job. I watched a lot of these videos Others who showed the game didn’t even try the frying pan. Looked like you truly enjoyed this game. Next time turn up your voice some more please, the rain and other sounds were louder than your voice. Til next time….. see ya
