Five Games I 100% But Didn't Review

[@XYZ-em5vu]

Powerwash is a decent CRPG, like a watered-down Skyrim

[@nikidelvalle]

Angriest upvote I've ever given.

[@mertgulgun6830]

I believe Spiders is a very underrated studio, I've played their entire catalogue and although they are essentially an AA studio, they manage to provide quality products, I really loved mars war logs and Orcs and men...

[@VieneLea]

Their games are always fantastic and very creative. I hate that IMO they don't get the attention they deserve.

[@josho2882]

I had played Technomancer it was amazing game Spider does an awesome job. Greedfall was truly an amazing game as well.

[@Fredericco1]

Spiders have interesting games. They are not that good. Most of them have some sort of problems or unused potential. Greedfall was their first game, that i really liked.

[@connorericson]

I am honestly very surprised how much variety you put in this channel. It has to do with the same topics but it’s always different in some aspect. Keep up the quality content

[@shawnhuff7304]

I loved my playthrough of Technomancer. It was an enjoyable game for being a AA game, and I actually liked a lot of the story. Nuanced in it's combat, but had quite a bit of exploration in it's usage. However, a lot of the maps were very much like Mass effect where it was just one linear direction, that you would visit a couple times in the story, then only have to go back to turn in missions before moving to the next one. Less open exploration if that's your fancy.

[@bigego503]

I gotta say I really enjoyed the Technomancer and hope to see you review it at some point. You might even consider doing a series of older rpg's and bringing a review to them. In any event, as always, good vid.....P.S. As long as we are on the subject and even tho' it's not strictly an rpg franchise I would still love to see you review the Xcom games. All of them. Take care

[@pyrs-spam]

I LOVE The Technomancer. It reminded me of pre-EA Bioware a lot, and even though it felt like you needed to backtrack in areas a lot, I still didn't mind it too much as I enjoyed the setting, the characters, the plot premise, etc. there's just a lot to like. Maybe I am bit biased because there aren't much sci-fi/space RPGs.

[@armelior4610]

The setting is great, but the story is not very good sometimes (everything about the bad guy) and you can really feel the budget constraints. Greedfall is way better in those regards, so I hope we will have a much improved technomancer 2 later

[@pyrs-spam]

@@armelior4610 Surprisingly, I enjoyed Greedfall way less than Technomancer. It was too open and had a lot of bloat and suffered from bad pacing, and while Technomancer didn't have a convoluted plot, it was interesting enough for me to power through it! By the end of Greedfall I was just... done with it

[@thomasbryans6547]

This is such an old comment but I’m going to reply anyway. I loved the setting of techno Mansor, but never got more than maybe 10 hours in because the story was an interesting to me and the maps felt a bit small. Besides that I thought the game was great. For greed fall. I absolutely loved the first city and then once I got into the wilds, I lost interest a bit because the city was so enthralling. I didn’t want to explore nature. But I absolutely need to go back to both of those games and finish them

[@Mandrake42]

I love how off the rails Powerwash Simulator went. Also the ending where you open your van, just a lovely little icing on the cake of a very zen game.

[@flewphernegro1516]

I did love playing The Withcher 3 in all of my playthroughs, but grinding the 100% was really tedious imo

[@kafaujutru]

@@rundown132 i’ve completed everything (+ expansions) in 185 hours on death march difficulty few years ago. I wanna go for another playthrough but when i think about how tedious it was to do everything i just don’t have energy and time for that.

[@gameanimeking]

I will be honest after 100% the game once I could not play the game ever again. I would install and run the game, start a new save and then after few hours uninstall the whole game. This happened 5 times.

[@erthan6161]

The trophy to get a crap ton of crossbow headshots nearly broke me. I think it required refreshing the bandits at a certain camp, running in to aggro them all, run out, then fish in a barrel shoot them as they came out the gate. It was beyond tedious. I feel like it was something like 300 headshots.

[@Elderand]

Power wash simulator is my go to game when I want to relax and listen to some podcast or more documentary type videos on youtube. Just put them on in the background, listen to them and zen my way through a couple level of powerwash simulator.

[@kn0bhe4d]

2:44 "...niche title from many years ago, 2016..." Many years ago? 2016 was very recent..........oh, it's 7 years ago at this point. How is it already 7 years after 2016?!

[@cabhaal876]

Technomancer is $1.99 (US)/80% off on Steam right now. No risk at that price in giving it a try.

[@O-D-X]

Thanks, I just picked up after seeing this. Will throw it into the rotation of games I am messing around with at the moment. I passed on it when it released due to the jank I saw, but at that price you are right, can't go wrong even if I hate it.

[@jeremywyeth7163]

I can confirm that actual power washing is also very relaxing and satisfying to complete.

[@dani3po]

I wish one day Spiders would make a game according with their workforce and budget. They always bite more than they can chew.

[@fafnyr2537]

True, i hope that one day they will make a sequel to bound by flame and technomancer.

[@edsherwook5196]

Man ur a beast. Can’t think of one game I 100% and I play a lot of video games

[@Peterski]

Please please please do Anachronox review. I'm really curious what you'd think about it.

[@henrychang2267]

To do 100% completion of games, some games require purchasing DLCs but some games don’t. In future videos, could you also mention which games require what DLCs in order to achieve 100%? I will take this as reference when I do 100% as well. Thank you.

[@rajahava]

I got clickbaited on that Technomancer miniature.

[@zaccanasta-r3l]

I'm currently playing Technomancer and is basically a mix between The witcher 3 and Mass Effect. The game have some flaws, but i'm really surprise by the fact that combat have more variety than The witcher 3... at least in Technomancer you have 3 different combat style + traps + technomancer powers and progression and builds seem to me more enjoyable. Is a bit clunky sometimes, but overall i think that is another underrated AA.

[@keldor8302]

​@@quint3ssent1a The immunity remark is not true. You'll face humans in armor with high (nearly immune) resistance to Lightning damage. And unless you go deep into technomancy for the resistance penetration and such. Your technomancer abilities will be useless against them. Even if you do go heavy into technomancy (and most will because DUH you're a technomancer). You'll do considerably less damage to them. Conversely, if you go down the rogue path. You'll have trouble against some of the mutant wild life enemies. As they all have high resistance to poison damage. You can skirt around that with focusing on fast attacks and crits, at least. Meanwhile, the sword and board combat style can struggle against high armor mobs. Due to lacking higher damage output and being a defensive-focused combat style. Also, the game was actually originally designed with you picking a background to your character. Which would lock you into one fighting style. But that scrapped that due to how repetitive and dull combat became when stuck with one weapon type and it's respective technomancer ability (you only got to zap at range and one other power). So, they made it so you could swap weapon types on the fly and implemented the quasi-combo system. But, they ran out of time to adjust and flesh out their talent system. Originally, the trees you see were stand-alone when locked into one background and combat type. So they ported them over and locked all the technomancer abilities into one tree. With the intention of pruning down each tree and forcing you to go around the tree and putting a talent point into each one in a circular pattern as you leveled. But, as I said, they ran out of budget and development time. So the changes and balancing to the talent trees didn't happen. The game is then designed for you to switch weapons based on the combat situation. But the talent tress incentivize you to pick one weapon and technomancy and just play those.

[@zaccanasta-r3l]

@@quint3ssent1a I'm fine with that. The difference between each combat styles is enough that you don't feel that you are playing the same way and you can make a new run with a different build. For example in my run i'm using a lot of technomancer powers and staff combat with a fast playstyle, dodge and high chance to destabilize enemy (with kicks and technomancer powars). On the other hand mace and shield are more focus on parry for example.

[@coconutologist]

I don't think I've even 100% five different games in my entire life. Onward to 200k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@me36391]

Technomancer was one few games I have written that would not recommend. The backtracking in the game is such a nuisance and waste of timethat it was one of those games I couldnt wait for it to end. Its also one of those that deals its entire deck of cards out in the first few hrs.

[@Shikao87]

I have beaten Mars:War Logs 100%, but someone couldn't get into Technomancer in two attempts so far. The Wolf Among Us is really great and it opened me to new type of games I enjoy. Since then I have played other Telltale Games games and Life is Strange (gotta play the other games from that universe)

[@grumpymoose6800]

Your mention of the technomancer reminded me of another game. Mars War Logs. It's been an age since I played it, and you brought it to mind out of nowhere.

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

Technomancers looks awesome. I’ll have to check that video of yours out about it. Probably a game I’d want to play. And so many people love the power washing simulator game, I’ll probably have to get that on Switch.

[@trenthadler5998]

great vid. witcher 3 is nearing the top of my steam backlog so i’m finally gonna dive into that hopefully sometime this year. technomancer is on my steam wishlist, i see it’s 80% off rn so i might cop that if it’s the lowest it’s ever been. and wolf among us is one of my all time favorite games, i played it for the first time only recently and loved it, plus they announced the sequel almost immediately after i completed it. sorry for the long comment but i’ll always love a fellow completionist’s content!

[@subaru246]

The power wash game reminds me to the level 1 Flinstons game for Master System where Fred has to paint the wall, it was so relaxing. Awesome video, thank you so much, hugs

[@lalitendudas9401]

Witcher 3 imo has a lot of flaws, from simple frustrating rpg mechanics and quality of life features to the main overarching story. I think cdpr deserved to get proper criticism for that game but all the people in the world unanimously forgot the past 20yrs of great RPGs and crpgs (including the previous w games) and decided that w3 is the single greatest video game ever created without a single blemish whatsoever. The result is (imo) Cyberpunk's wasted potential.

[@thewretch4081]

I tried playing Technomancer some time ago, the gameplay just didn't do it for me tho

[@DBJ468]

The Technomancer has it's problems, but I honestly believe it's a relatively underrated diamond in the ruff. I hope its creators get to make a successor/spiritual successor.

[@MortismalGaming]

I loved it

[@Mandrake42]

Spiders are an interesting company. Along with another Eurojank company, Piranha Bytes, their games can be hit and miss but there is just something about Eurojank games that I find compelling. Even when they fail they often fail in interesting ways. The ambition on display, they way their reach often exceeds their grasp, I often find that I end up keeping on playing Eurojank titles even when I know there are more polished games I could be spending my time on. I can't explain it but given you liked both Technomancer and Elex, I think I am probably preaching to the choir.

[@damenlapalm5609]

Hey Mort, one thing I'm curious about is your perspective on jrpgs. Especially older and more revered ones. I think it would be very interesting and informative to hear the take of someone who is well versed in crpgs, 100% games like Xenogears, Dragon Quest, or the Final Fantasy series. Especially because some of those original games were inspired by older crpgs. Anyway, keep up the good work. Peace.

[@kasparbaktat964]

I love, how in the last game the dirt AND the water just magically disappear when they come in contact with each other!

[@aliquidcow]

I bought Powerwash Simulator because it seemed really useful as just something to do while listening to music or podcasts (both things I find very difficult to do just by themselves). It is surprisingly compulsive and I was surprised that, yeah, it does have a story of sorts.

[@MaliciousCricket]

Re-reading Fables right now, so hyped for The Wolf Among Us 2

[@IamYasha10]

I love Powerwash simulator. This is one of those games that i will never uninstall just because it's a relaxing game that I can replay. I remember playing technomancer, i liked it despite being janky. This made me follow their future games like Greedfall and steelrising.

[@penttikoivuniemi2146]

I enjoyed Mars: War Logs when it came out so I was pretty interested in Technomancer as it's based in the same world and the technomancers in War Logs (such a dumb name for a game by the way) were some of its most interesting elements, but I just couldn't get into Technomancer at all. The dialog writing was off-putting and the gameplay just didn't grab me, so I dropped it after maybe 3 or 4 hours of play. It's the only Spiders title I've given up on out of the I think 5 I've played.

[@garrick3727]

Powerwash simulator looks like a great game, but it always reminds me that I have chores I should be doing.

[@chrismartin3959]

[@andrewstencel]

Well, if you'd be up to, I'd totally watch a Technomancer review. I played it on PS4 a few years back, and it was pretty neat, despite some hit or miss voice acting.

[@MortismalGaming]

I might at some point, I really enjoyed it

[@PaulSpurgeon]

I loved The Wolf Among Us so much.

[@flaminx0r]

I do really like Witcher 3 but often I'll fire it up and in less than a minute I switch it off and play something sandbox. I don't know if that's a sign of age, a change of taste for what I'm into since I first played it years ago, or if there's a time a place to play Witcher opposed to being a game I always enjoy. Eitherway, great video as always Mort!

[@Zaxeras]

Being 100 finished and don't be reviewed, sounds like a new form of insult

[@okagisama]

They stopped Wolf Among Us 2 development then recently said it's in development again, i'm seriously hope it's coming in not too long. It's been one of my favourite narrative games too.

[@grey_wulf]

Heyo Mortym! Spiders dev team has come a long way since Bound by Flame. Imo, each successive game since BbF imprroved a bit. I enjoyed playing Technomancer, but the dialog and VA was a bit stilted. (P.S. I HAVE heard of Betrayal at Club Low.)

[@Jake-po4sp]

Ah, Spiders. I quite liked Mars War Logs. I thought Bound by Flame was a great step up and played through it twice back to back (I believe a singular occurrence for me; very rarely, even with new game plus, do I play a game back to back.) I just wanted more; more equipment, more upgrades, more progression. Technomancer brought more, but it was just more story. They forgot to add more to the gameplay and progression. I was done playing about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through, but the story just kept going. It was a drag to finish. Greedfall went full Witcher 3 and I did not even finish it. It is on my list of games to give another shot. So is Witcher 3, in fact. I have tried Witcher 3 many times, but fall off at some point. They set a new standard for side quests that I thoroughly appreciate, but I just didn't care about anything that was happening or anybody it was happening to. I liked Witcher 2 and Geralt as character, but 3 just doesn't pull me in. I also wasn't crazy about gameplay and progression.

[@sabbliz]

Great video as always!

So why didn't you review the technomancer? You mention you did a gameplay video of it and it got very few views - is that the only reason, or is there more to it than that?. I checked the price on steam an its currently dirt cheap less than £2, so i've picked it up. I do recall it being released and there not being much fanfare - but that is essentially what anyone who knows spiders should expect lol. They aren't really mainstream games media kinda games - but anyone who is happy to dig a bit deeper and engage with their flawed gems generally has a good time.
