Potionomics Masterwork Edition Review (PS5) | Backlog Battle

[@JustTheGems]

This game looks really good, can't believe it slipped under my radar! And so glad I was able to help out, this was great! Thanks Alex!

[@juice6521]

The game was REALLY good and highly reviewed, but it had no endgame. Once you hit the end of the story, the game just ended, which was insane.

⁠@@juice6521 Yea, when I found out about it over a year ago, I REALLY wanted to buy it cuz of how perfect it was for me. But I found out it had no endless mode and it made me turn away from getting it. I like endless games and the fact that Potionomics didn’t have an endless mode was such a dealbreaker. I just waited and hoped it would get updated with an endless mode since it seemed like an obvious thing to add eventually. Now I am definitely getting it! Plus it has voice acting now! Yayyyy!

[@LaLtheGaL]

I hope this game does well. I bought it on release and I’m enjoying it sooooo much! The voice acting, art design and animation is really good. It’s an addicting loop. The physical edition is inexpensive and comes with great goodies. And not a lot of people are talking about this.

[@BacklogBattle]

I wish I got the physical edition 😭

@@BacklogBattlewell it’s on sale for 39.99$ right now. Just picked up my copy. If your a collector this is a must

[@tipidpn3559]

[@BacklogBattle]

Thanks for the review! I was really looking forward to playing this, but was concerned about the difficulty. Glad to hear there's a cozy difficulty. I can't wait to get this for PS5!

[@BacklogBattle]

Glad to hear! I think you’re going to have a splendid time playing this one!

[@uppernimbus]

Oh wow, you got Branden to help you out too, that's so sweet! I'm thinking of picking up the Nintendo Switch version myself!

[@BacklogBattle]

I just tried the Switch version the other day and I think it's pretty good!

[@Queenofthesevenseas]

Oh lovely I actually just ordered this from Amazon because I liked the artwork 😂 now that I know what it’s actually about I’m looking forward to playing it❤ Really appreciate the review

[@BacklogBattle]

You’re very welcome! I hope you enjoy it immensely!

[@Queenofthesevenseas]

@ I’m sure I will the game looks charming and quite fun🥰 Yo do a wonderful job on all of your videos I very much appreciate the amazing amount of work you put into them. Feel better😉🥰

[@petrinhos]

After watching this I went and bought the limited box set for the ps5. Its so rare for this editions to be sold here in Brazil and its full of goodies! Hope you get well soon Alex, wish you the best.

[@BacklogBattle]

Thank you very much! You'll hear from me soon enough!

[@arikari3672]

I was worried about the micro managing of time, but the it was mentioned that it has a difficulty setting to relax. I'll check how it runs on my switch.

[@Zilong09]

The potion haggling makes me think of Recettear.

[@jaydenmoon1165]

Great review - I want this game - the character models are so cute - and the art of the cards is awesome - cannot wait to get this 😊❤

[@BacklogBattle]

It's a fantastic game and I think you're going to enjoy the stories and the relationships in it!

[@Aurelyn]

Thanks Brandon for the video and for protecting Alex from the wrath of the Algorithmo, glory to their name.

[@Nedwig747]

Anyone know how this runs in switch? Looks like its not amazing on the steamdeck so switch may be the only play on the go option

[@BacklogBattle]

So after playing it for a little bit on portable mode, I did notice the following: - Loading times seem to be quick except the one in the very beginning - Backgrounds are blurrier - Transparencies and some shadows are dithered - Aliasing on characters (because of lower resolution) - Framerate is lower, 20-30fps (not important imo since nothing requires quick reflexes) Other than that, as a portable version of the game, I think it’s playable! I can compare it to the Steam Deck version. I haven’t seen footage of it but I can check it myself!

[@Nedwig747]

@@BacklogBattle Would love to hear the steam deck comparison as well, but sounds like switch is totally an option. Thanks Alex!

[@MandyleePlays]

I thought I was on the wrong channel lol but feel better Alex! and @JustTheGems did a great job good vid

[@BacklogBattle]
