I've discovered your channel relatively recently, and I feel compelled to say your game content you do is amongst the very best I've seen on KZbin. There"s something that feels very honest about what you do; a genuine love for the art and craft in games, which mirrors the effort put into your videos and scripts. Plus, you're one of the few (out of a plethora) who actually understand what a "Hidden Gem" is, opposed to it being lazy clickbait--I had honestly never heard of something like 90%+ of the games on your PS4 series, but your vids have been eye-opening and have led to a couple of (physical, as that's definitely a thing for me) purchases. Awesome work and thank you. :)

Necromunda: Hired Gun. The Forgotten City. Bramble: The Mountain King. Gas Guzzlers Extreme. Observer - System Redux. Severed Steel. Prodeus. Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris. Chorvs. A Hat In Time. Kena: Bridge Of Spirits.

Considering it's a game from 2021, I'm shocked I've never heard of The Eternal Cylinder. That game seems like such a weird trip and yet I'm super curious about it. The narrator seems to be the same voice actor as the one for Dandelion, who narrates The Witcher 3. Gearshifers goes on the list too, as it reminds me of a game called Death Rally, that I used to play in the 90's on my very first PC, a 486. :) If anyone wants more of that type of game, the OG version is free on Steam and there is even a 2012 remake, currently for 3,19. What surprised me is that these were developed by Remedy, Max Payne, Alan Wake, and Control fame. 7th Sector gives me Inside vibes. I had no idea about that one either, but I just picked it up for 3,83 on Steam. While I rarely go the PS4 route with these smaller titles, it blows my mind that 1. you nail both the "hidden" and "gem" aspects of these lists 2. physical versions exist and 3. you own all of them. 😁Great video as always! It's exciting to always learn about at least 1 or 2 cool games I had no idea about.
@thepolygondon91988 ай бұрын
That’s crazy to hear that remedy was behind the Death Rally remake, love that studio but had no idea about this, going to check it out now! £3.83 for 7th Sector on steam is absolute bargain and well worth grabbing, hope you enjoy. Thanks man, glad you’re liking the content and getting some value out of the vids! 👊🏼

Glad you enjoyed Gear Shifters! The presentation is a bit mobile-esque I must admit, but there's a sold game underneath. I have picked up the Blue Reflection games, but only digitally. The first game in particular is becoming quite expensive in a physical form.
@thepolygondon91988 ай бұрын
Yeah I really enjoyed my time with Gear Shifters! Nice one. Regarding Blue Reflection, the first one is getting on the pricey side, it’s sitting at around £50-60 used on eBay where I am although I have seen it sell via auction listings for less so it’s probably about timing more than anything

Easily my fav FE game ever, if you like strategy RPG’s it’s one of the best although quite difficult to get your hands on these days.
