IWayfinder has plenty of potential, but it's stretching the 'early access' label a little too far with this very, very rocky launch.

let my boy Austin do more reviews, He's the goat!

[@captainmcknight]

Jokes aside, I’m glad Ralph is letting Austin continue making reviews, it’s definitely going to give us more content, especially with all the games coming out soon, Ralph might not have been able to review every single one, so hopefully this means we get more reviews, this was an incredible choice for the future of the channel, way to go guys!

[@williamtimonen6814]

Yeah, theres like 500 people making the same joke. But Austin really is a great addition to the channel.

[@teeman7137]

Thats the best comment so far about Austin and Ralph. Thank you

[@drago28]

You need kok.

[@colester167]

This is what I was thinking exactly. Can give them option where one of them could play games they really wanted to play, but didn't have the time. Love it. :)

[@sociomatt_]

As someone who has 120 hours in the game, and yes actually in game, Austin is 100% right. The foundation has a lot of potential . Airship syndicate have done an amazing job so far fixing the queues for the most part and have been listening to the community. There's even a forum on their site where they are taking suggestions. This game has a lot of potential and from what I have seen, they will reach that potential eventually, its just a waiting game...in many ways.

[@grasshopper9220]

Would you recommend jumping in on the ground floor? Or waiting a bit?

[@drinkslurm6991]

​@@grasshopper9220 I would only spend the cash if you are really itching to play. The game will be free to play in a few months and will most likely be in a better state. They said there will be 2 early access seasons that incorporate community feedback so I have a lot of hope for the official release. That being said, I've had fun for the 30 or so hours I put in so far.

[@LordCommanderVex]

@@grasshopper9220 Best wait

[@familialdysautosis2717]

Joe Mad, (the guy that runs Airship Syndicate and was the Creative director for the darksiders games) has always been an artist first for me. He is absolutely amazing and can craft words unlike no other. Some of yhe other bits of his games are usually lacking in small or big ways however. But as an artist, he is honestly a bit unparalleled.

[@aersla1731]

It's like warframe but with one huge difference that I haven't seen talked about yet, player trading. The reason warframe monetization works so well is player trading, without it, it would just be super p2w.

[@7200kcolour]

Characters kits change based on the weapons used. Wingrave (where Austin talks about struggling to see why he'd use a ranged weapon on him) gets heals on eagle-eye shots (hot spot crits), his first ability becomes a lance that peirces ahead rather that a sword that arcs, and he can give party members shields on reloads. Same with Kyros the mage's passive ramping on hot-spot crits instead of melee finishers.

[@winterwolfcr7]

One of the main reasons Airship games always look so amazing artistically speaking, is because of their founder Joe Madureira. He was a comic book artist first in the 90s. And it shows. His art is so amazing and I go for any game they put out since the OG Darksiders. (Yes they were a different company back then.)

[@alexwindy3]

I love this duo review thing. Austin and Shillup both reviewing games is really nice. Maybe you guys could get an editor to help you with reviews...and then that editor starts reviewing aswell and...oh no, are we all going to be reviewing games? For real though, I really like this. As long as Austin has time to edit everything in a reasonable fashion and no out of the ordinary rush, go for it!

[@fuchswolfsson2622]

If i remember correctly, there will actually be a new editor and austin will review full time.

[@Chipspack]

​@@fuchswolfsson2622Yep he mentioned it on this week in video games

[@ryo-kai8587]

@@fuchswolfsson2622 Stew (or Stu?) is a new editor, and he's freeing up Austin to have time for reviews-but I don't recall Ralph saying that Austin is no longer editing at all.

[@dib327]

Why are you attending SKill Up for?

[@punani_slayer4209]

How many times does this need to be said.....are you a bot?

[@ADHDad]

Wayfinder is actually huge fun so far, but it is borked to hell and back. They've already fixed the queues, but still suffering server side issues. But I believe in AS and DE. I'm here for the long haul.

[@KikoMakai]

game is hella fun if you just ignore the internet lol

[@Jipooki]

It's really sad to see how much of an uphill battle AS has to go through after that disaster of a launch. But hopefully, they can come back swinging and win back the community. Also the servers are essentially fixed now.

[@1100ms]

Agreed. I'm really enjoying the game so I may be a little biased, but seeing Austin not recommend the game after all the positive things he has to say about it based on a week of server mishaps is a little disappointing. I think the majority of media are going to pile onto the "server issues at launch" narrative as it always yields engagement, but at the cost of a lot of people being turned off an otherwise pretty good game.

[@jeremehiestand7716]

it's not really fair to call that a "launch", i know people paid money for it but the reaction to the server and game issues was completely unnecessary. People were treating it like it was the game's actual release and everything was doomed and the devs were garbage. Chill, folks. They weren't allowed to do pre-sales so they had no real idea what kind of demand they were in for. I'm happy with it so far

[@jonatanrobledo9812]

​@@jeremehiestand7716 most bugs and problems where there on the pre-EA-test too. And they where not fixed for the EA. "It's not the real launch" isn't a valid excuse when you're selling something.

[@EcchiRevenge]

Are servers fixed or did the playercount plummet?

[@lunaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

​@@EcchiRevengeeven though way less people are playing the servers actually are fixed, there were still hours long queues up until a few days ago when they got their backend in order

[@cmdr_thrudd]

This does look like a lot of fun, its been on my radar a while. Sad to hear of the server issues they're having. Must be so frustrating for the devs who worked so hard on the project. I hope they can get things dialled in and polished up. Will defo pick it up in a few months if they have.

[@tillist1]

Server issues are largely resolved at this point. In the last four days or so queue has been like 10 people.

[@KikoMakai]

servers are fine since original issues. Still some DC;s but nothing major. I pllayed 10 hours straight last 2 days.

[@cmdr_thrudd]

That's great to hear. Thanks for taking the time to let me know 😊

[@senectarius9685]

Servers a mostly fine. At least I have maybe one DC every 3hours or less

[@OnionTheBat]

My biggest gripe is honestly the prices being 1150 when you can only buy a pack of 1100....Just let us pay directly instead of putting in this consumer-unfriendly currency system

[@negativespace261]

Bringing Austin into the mix is an objectively great move, he knows how to make quality videos and really everyone benefits. Keep up the great work you two!

[@joebob3877]

Bought the early access pack on day one because I really like airship syndicate's previous output. Now that the queue issues have been mostly been resolved ive been having a fun time but looking at the roadmap and still dealing with constant disconnects does make me feel like i should have waited

[@jgarling]

I think the biggest boon from Austin and Ralph both doing videos is the increase in content. Great content at that.

[@gilbertlopez2333]

I just love that you guys have the same candor. Thanks Ralph! Austin does your channel proud!

[@gregbridge]

I very much enjoy that Austin is doing reviews because it means we get more games coverage from the ShillUp crew

[@dib327]

Why are you attending SKill Up for?

[@DimiKaye]

Best move for the channel having Austin also doing reviews. I always click when new vids get uploaded on the channel because I feel Ralf communicates anything I want to know about a game, plus the reviews are enjoyable. Now with Austin the style is similar but the person is different and I also enjoy listening his thoughts on a game. Keep it up guys, fantastic job.

[@WrackPharmd]

I love the new sharing of reviews and content by Austin and Ralph. I love this channel. This Week In Video Games is my favorite show of the week and I went into withdrawals when Ralph went on vacation. That’s okay though. Please enjoy your life and make time for your family. A happy person makes happy content and I love it. Cheers!

[@kienesel7]

I will say, art styles like these make me remember when everyone was complaining that every game was gritty grey and brown realistic slop. How far we've come...

[@AlexEnMadrid91]

Really love the channel's format, combining news, reviews by Austin and the other guy + the FPS podcast. Definetly worthy of notifications turned on.

[@fateriddle14]

Thank god, welcome Austin, you're finally back!!! Man miss you!

[@bolicob]

I do really like this art style. Hopefully the game will be good enough to match at some point in the future

[@nephilim8559]

I had this game in my wishlist since it was announced and i bought the early access last week and let me tell you this is a good relaxing pve game, kinda like warframe you just log in and chill while farming whatever weapon or hero you want. I would recommend everyone that likes hack 'n' slash games to give it a try when it launches as a free to play next year and also to clarify, the early access servers are fixed right now, it was fixed a couple days ago so an update to people watching this review would be cool.

[@lionzcrown1702]

“Cause of course, there’s no better place to GRIND, than in the bedroom” WHAT A G.

I'd really like to see our boy Austin do a 1.0 release review for this. Whilst it's had a less than stellar early access release, it is fun and charming.

[@kuoyulu6714]

[@andriesgouws8543]

Great review. Basically I am sold, but I felt maybe I should wait for the free version and I am very glad I did. Hope they sort out all the problems and add more robust in depth systems...and more cosmetic customization! Thanks Austen, great job man!

[@flaemy117]

Hi Austin, a suggestion, saying i7 isnt enough information for us to know what CPU you have since an i7 could be 7 years old or brand new, you should let us know the actual model number next time. Other than that, great review looking forward to the next!

[@drfrankendoodle]

hearing the menu music playing in the background of this review is giving me ptsd from hearing that song on repeat for 8+ hrs in queue

[@dasauce8279]

Great work you guys love the vids, keep them coming.

[@faridronin]

These games are not my cup of tea but the reviews are awesome thx team 👍

[@christophergutierrez7138]

I love this art style and I like the idea of this kind of game, but I’m feeling like the biggest drawback for me is how rigid combat seems though appearing flexible as Austin mentioned. I think it would benefit greatly from an overhaul, although that would definitely be something not taken lightly and certainly wouldn’t be accomplished overnight. Either keep the characters as just individual “classes” with clear affinities (Diablo style) or implement a variety of subclasses that can have one character play completely differently 2 or 3 different ways depending on their weapon choices and/or preferred combat styles.

[@Yakasabi]

I feel like an overhaul will be in order by the time 1.0 comes out, everything on the roadmap and then some will be addressed by the time 1.0 rolls around

[@vandriff]

Austin! Great job, man with these reviews. Not sure how intentional it is, but I'm finding the style to be ever-consistent with Ralph's, in everything from content breakdown to even voicing, word choice, and tone.

[@heartlesslucas7781]

I've already put 6 hours into the game and it's amazing. It has soooo much potential and I only disconnected twice and I reconnected both times IMMEDIATELY. Everyone who has $20 to spare and are mildly interested in the game should ABSOLUTELY give it a try and make your own opinion.

[@aaronhumphrey3514]

The last few times I logged in there was virtually no queue time. That problem seems to mostly have been resolved. It's still pretty unpolished though.

[@JT-gt4uv]

Wayfinder just hits on a lot of things I've wanted in a game for awhile now. It has some issues and I know they will get ironed out eventually. The gameplay is fun and the roadmap looks promising.

[@SussySerbo]

Its great to see Austin back on his channel!

[@jaelramos1181]

Thank you, Austin. I have been watching Skillup since The Division. At first, I was hesitant about your reviews. After watching this video, all doubts have been squashed. Through your dialogue, I can see how you and Skillup became mates, and I look forward to more reviews from you.

[@TheV1ctorGaming]

Austin is doing a great job, but I hope the OG knows that of course we still love him. "GAMERS!" will always be top-tier

Found a typo in the title. I'm pretty sure it's meant to say "I" instead of Austin referring to himself in the 3rd person in his own channel's video

[@sharpchedda1821]

Ralph and Austin’s mannerism in speech are so similar I didn’t even notice it was Austin for the first few minutes

[@june_o9]

Personally, can't wait for Gw2: Soto review. I'm enjoying this expansion way more than I've expected and I'm more than happy to see promised review of this game on this channel. When it comes to Wayfinder - not the game for me and I think they only need time to fix queues and server stability.

[@bryanmackay8732]

In fairness, the server issues are mostly resolved now. Almost 0 wait time to log in. There is some unfortunate disconnects still but that is improving consistently also. Airship syndicate has proven to be pretty open to improvements and transparent with issues, which is refreshing.

[@TrizollinTehWorld]

I rarely touch early access games and this looks like one where I'll just wait for the release day. I really love battle chasers and I love the art style of wayfinder.

[@swedishZ0mBi3]

You are both great at reviewing games, keep up the variety :)

[@RodimusPrime29]

Glad to hear I can hold off on this a bit. Gives me time to dig into some other game in my backlog as well as making space for Starfield. Will definitely keep this game on my radar though.

Would be great to hear from Austin when(if) it's finally worth playing

[@tibi___]

Haha! "Only need a few vestiges and i nearly can craft Silo" :) He is in for a treat.

[@xleaselife]

This game kinda bums me out. I was originally really excited for it. But, over time, I've just grown colder and colder toward it. It really feels like it's going to take years for this game to truly come together.

[@BobberW]

Thx for the review Austin u really know what u r talking about unlike that stand in guy u had on. I'm keeping this on the radar 👍

[@stepcava2014]

I think it's fantastic to have shill up to be expanding through Austin. I respect your opinions so much.

[@RobertWSquirrel]

The bit where Austin says “these guys make art that looks more Riot than Riot does” cracked me up a bit, because Joe Madureira’s comic work (including the original Battle Chasers comics in the late 90s) were almost certainly an influence on Riot’s art design when they were first creating League of Legends. I don’t mean that as a criticism, Joey Mads sort of faded from public consciousness when he jumped from comics to games, so he’s not all that well-known anymore; but some of us old school comics readers get a hit of nostalgia whenever he puts out a game. Of course what I’d really like to see is games taking visual inspiration from Bill Sienkiewicz, that’d be a sight to behold…

[@TheCopyrightC]

Honestly SkillUp has been a rare breed of a channel. Ralph (and cronies) have managed to update and change the formula several times and kept it fresh but also stayed true to their roots. Glad to see that trend continue and glad to be part of this community.

[@Nightflash28]

As always, fair review you guys. For me, Wayfinder was (and still is) one of the top games i have been looking forward to this year, despite 2023 being choke full of banger releases. The server disaster was absolutely disappointing, especially with DE's backing, It's save to say nobody anticipated this, especially not in the scale it happened. However, woth most issues addressed as of now, more fixes on the way: i personally can't put the game down yet. I love Warframe, I loved Airship's previous games, so it's no surprise that I'm quite in love with this game, too. I know w lot of people asked for refunds because they couldn't log in the first few days, and i understand and respect that. But i don't regret my purchase at all. Now that it's in a playable and stable state, the few days of additional waiting are already forgotten. I do hope that this game finds its audience once it goes F2P, cause I'm looking forward to playing this for years to come.

[@Ivotas]

Great review but at around 3:50 I could just think about the Christmas Maze if that rings any bells to you guys. ;)

[@fixit9844]

im glad im not the only person who noticed wayfinder looks similar to wildstar (RIP). def interested once the server issues get ironed out.

[@Ezudane]

On the gimping on weapon types, example Wingrave with a gun. There is actually a shotgun that works very well. Sadly the reviewer was unable to understand the emerging meta.

[@octagon8705]

Been bought this. Had some server stability issues before the last update, it runs fine and works fine games fun.

[@luse4099]

Really good to see Skill up son follow his father footsteps

[@Jynogre]

Was a pleasure grinding the queues man hahah, but for real tho, the art in this was always impressive where we went, and the boss fights were fun, especially when we beat them whilst being underpowered, made the win all the more glorious, looking forward to them ironing out the bugs and other issues so we can really dive in and give it a good old college try.

[@MichaelLast001]

"There's no better place to grind than in the bedroom." I see what Austin did there 😏

[@johnotron604]

Played the closed beta; it was overall quite good and really enjoyed it. Hopefully they'll sort out the the technical issues cause I've been really wanting to play again. Fair point on the waiting for the dust to settle cause 5 hour wait time is insane.

[@Insan1tyW0lf]

Enjoyed the review, nice to hear perspectives on more games, and I appreciate Austin's approach and take. Quick note on PC HW though: saying "i7" is basically just saying "80-series GPU". Gotta include the generation for it to really mean anything. I.e. 3080 and i7 12xx, etc.

[@sound4117]

The game is great, when you can actually get in. I think the queue times are either very small or completely gone now though so should be okay

[@crome2sniper]

Looking at the comments , shillup and now Austin as well have a very wholesome community

[@KesslerCOIL]

really confused how the latency looks this low. Is Austin not in Australia? I tried it in NZ and there was literally a full second delay on everything in combat.

[@dadleft8427]

The new guy Austin lmao Seriously though I'm enjoying Austin's tenure on this channel and his voice and vision have become almost as unquestionable as the big man himself. Love you guys, I've been really enjoying the channel lately

[@KittieKatKit]

I miss Wildstar so much. The fact that some of those devs are in this is part of what's attracted me to it but I'll definitely be waiting to dive in.

[@stalkholm5227]

[@LtGreaseMonkey06]

Thanks for the update to waitfunders, I mean wayfinders

[@Dehslash9]

I'm going to continue supporting this game. I believe in independent studios and wish for them to compete in the big leagues, I love everything the CEO works on in comics and games, and it has one of the best gameplay in an online game I've seen. It's totally understandable that it would not work right away especially with a real time combat system that eats up most of the processing power for - again - a small studio.

[@nailinthefashion]

I was really hoping they would have gone in a different direction for the sub systems but I'll prob still play since i can heal and it's something to do until GranBlue Fantasy Relink is out

[@Carlisho]

Austin from SkillUp and 44 from Fortnine are the best things to ever happen, nothing lasts forever, but its nice to see such great channels can keep going with the new guys without dropping a single point on entertainment or quality.

[@eranoszrill8907]

I'm having a ton of fun with the game so far. The technical problems don't bother me much and i enjoy the gameplay loop. But I have to say it still needs time which is why it's good that it's in early access still. You mentioned that you don't see much reason to use ranged weapons on Wingrave and that it feels like you gimp yourself because your passive tells you that it only triggers on melee finishers. Which is incorrect and the tooltip should be corrected. Ranged weapons have weakspots that appear on enemies when you shoot them and if you are using a gun on wingrave shooting those weakspots triggers your passive just like if you have done a melee finisher. Not just that, Wingrave's first ability changes from a cleave into a longer ranged thrust if you equip a gun on him instead of a melee weapon. These two things are not stated anywhere in the game which is a shame and hopefully it'll be fixed soon. EDIT: the game also fails to tell you about that every weapon has an alternative attack like rifles doing melee attacks with the rifle stock, or the Sword and shield doing a shield attack combo for extra break damage, or how you can do an infinitely repeating cleaving combo with 2handed weapons if you alternate between heavy and light attacks. These are written down at the abilities tab if you hover over the weapon passives but it's still way too hidden and the game should draw attention to it.

[@OfficialFo]

i like how critical yet optimistic you are.

[@TheIndulgers]

I think we need more in terms of performance. Just saying “an i7” doesn’t tell us much. Just showing us msi afterburner overlay in an intense fight would do wonders.

[@Osk42]

If they can't even have server for people who brought the game, imagine the chaos when it goes free-to-play...

[@potatoeOnRooftop]

Thanks Austin. Was interested because of the artstyle and world but after seeing the loop and billion different resources coupled with a cash shop I can safely pass here. Cheers!

[@Yewrenegade]

I expected Wayfinder would have a rocky launch on early access, works still need to fix up and I hope they'll improve from it. Cool video my dude Austin

[@TheCylonBomb]

Definitely agree with what has been said. I hope they tune the game up a bit. Even down to the NPCs in town. I’m okay with the simple game play loop as sometimes you just want to some what brain off and get some loot but they def need to make that loot feel more worth getting.

[@Faxmachine15]

I’m really enjoying the gameplay loop. Though they need to implement bunch of QOL elements and fixe the disconnect and long loading times. The roadmap is promising.
