RiME Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?"

[@AdAstraCompany]

You're the only channel I know that asks for dislikes if we didn't enjoy the video. Mad respect.

[@rogermckay8447]

He got one from me. This is not a good value.

[@AdAstraCompany]

Roger McKay Thumb the video down if you don't like his reviewing process or the reason behind his rating, but imo you shouldn't dislike the video because you find the game overpriced.

[@ACGreviews]

many folks don't understand the rating scale at all. If everyone believed the way some folks did only Monopoly would be worth any money because it can be played for 8 million hours. It is easily and sadly the most embarrassing thing about gaming right now. Time is only one of the qualitative elements of a title.

[@AdAstraCompany]

ACG I've noticed you take many elements into consideration in your reviews in quite a timely manner. I've only recently stumbled upon your channel, but your reviews have what channels like gamespot and ign lack; they are deliberate and the ratings don't sway to gratify popular opinion. Keep on doing you, man.

[@AdAstraCompany]

Roger McKay So you disliked it because you find the game overpriced. Ok

[@idojuegos2151]

Can we agree that ACG is the best game reviewer?

[@6utS]

We are on his channel so obviously all of us agreed on that already xD

[@tomikaze777]

Can we agree this comment is just sucking up? Still...it's absolutely true.

[@cubansupreme]

yes (sorry Brandon Jones from Easy Allies. no wait, he reads game reviews but i'm pretty sure he doesn't write the game reviews himself. nevermind.)

[@vivi-fe5rj]

yes

[@atomgrav6861]

Yes. I was about to post a comment how I really only go to this channel to get game reviews. Rating the game based on the investment value is what we need to hear, as graded point systems don't really seem to translate well with a vast majority of the gaming population. And his execution.. You know it's good stuff when the actual game has no intrest to me, I just want to hear him break it down👌

[@I_AM_THAT_DEAN]

This is one of the best games I have ever played.

[@LeviDaManJabroni]

congrats on 300k man you deserve and more

[@AlfredoAlers]

"Topographical map of Charlie Sheen's Soul" 😂

[@ACGreviews]

its true though

[@cubansupreme]

does this mean that the little Fox in RIME secretly has Tiger Blood running through its veins and/or fur?

[@xpower5927]

I think that's my favourite I've heard you say in a review yet lol

[@anzelak]

I literally cried with laughter.

[@DjSC80]

when i heard him say that I was like this damn ACG is on a different level lol.... His damn reviews are great

[@kaitokid205]

I remember when I subscribed you had around 10k subs and your review for Rare Reply was arguably the best review for the game ever, Now u hit 300k + woooow I hope you hit 300 million subs because you are not biased and give games awesome reviews regardless of platform I respect you a lot please continue to be who you are and not follow the path of anyone else because you are unique and this type uniqueness separates you and it makes the awesome reviewer you are

[@kazer7907]

Angry Joe got dethroned by ACG. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING OF GAME REVIEWS ACG

[@crozraven]

KAZER Angry Joe reviews are for the laughs, ACG reviews are for details and quantity.

[@drunkenpolack]

I cannot stand Angry Joe. I do love ACG reviews though.

[@jarg8]

KAZER Angry Joe has sucked for years. I remember when you was releasing a single review every couple of months and most of the time he would bitch just to bitch, trying to capitalize on meme culture. It failed miserably in my opinion. ACG, on the other hand, kicks ass. I cannot remember a time when an in depth, lengthy review hasn't gone up as soon as a game's embargo lifts. The amount of content this channel pushes out just goes to show how lazy Joe is.

[@CMONCMON007]

i unsubscribed from him after his Alien Covenant review

[@mdawni6933]

apples to oranges my friend, ACG's review is clearly divided, segmented and deliberate. Angry Joe focus (mostly) on the fun factor and personal feel, his reviews are generally more personal. if you noticed he does not at all shy away from judging the game in comparison to hype. again, ACG is professionally structured, AJ is personal. i love their diversity

[@sagafor11]

Great work as always. I love the little comments like the Tequila works or Charlie Sheen one. It must be hard to keep writing comedy gold, even though many people miss your funny comments, and the awesomeness is multiplied by the sheer fact of how prolific you are. I mean you review over 10 games a month, but still keep the humor that make other reviewers hide in shame.

[@sagafor11]

btw do you plan to review Tekken 7 when it comes out? It is on my most hyped list of 2017. Seeing how Nier, Persona, Nioh and Yakuza surpassed all my expectations, I hope Tekken does the same (and RDR2 later in this year).

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@The-Azure-Knight]

ACG I guess that's a no.

[@instastoump]

Ι think it's more that he can't be sure if he will do it if publisher doesn't give him the game

[@bigdigdoraemon5063]

SkyRip RDR 2 is delayed and coming next year in spring

[@svinland3446]

The score is what makes me want to buy the game.

[@jkayrichardson3366]

It seems like forever since the last ACG video, especially after 3 reviews in a row. I was starting to have withdrawal symptons. Glad to see another review, would love to see another podcast soon, wink wink

[@DrearierSpider1]

Jesus, I knew this game looked good from the few screenshots and trailers I'd seen, but holy shit does it come into its own when you see extended gameplay footage. Definitely added to my wishlist (I've been buying waaay too many games lately).

[@ACGreviews]

ya pretty insane

[@matt3394]

That waterfall at 6:23! unreal!

[@juliansalazar7097]

Me too.. Just within this year I've gotten Gravity Rush 2, Resident Evil 7, Yakuza 0, Tales of Berseria, For Honor, Nioh, Nier Automata, Andromeda, Horizon, Persona 5, Bulletstorm Remaster, Yooka Laylee, Prey, Injustice 2, The Surge I also purchased a Switch and Zelda, Mario Kart 8, Disgaea 5 Complete, Fast RMX, Snake Pass, Shovel Knight and Fire Emblem Echoes for my 3DS This year is insanity.. Focusing right now on Fire Emblem Echoes but once this is finished Rime is probably my next target

[@guilhemherisson3254]

And when you do play a sense of guilt that your wasting your time will creep up.

[@KaiMax_23]

It's a beautiful game.

[@bobfrank1061]

Another great, in-depth, seemingly unbiased review from ACG. Keep 'er up, mate!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks peach

[@cacs2201]

The Fuzzy Peach it is biased, everything is... But he was clear with his bias and told everyone that the bias influenced, which is actually a lot

[@ElliotVolkman]

All reviews are bias... they are straight opinions.

[@DrearierSpider1]

First ACG review in almost a week and a Digital Foundry analysis of Vanquish PC port release back to back...today's gonna be a good fucking day.

[@jeremytodd77]

As soon as I saw reviews were up for this game I had to check your channel for your review and sure enough you gave a completely fantastic, in-depth take on it. Picking this up for sure. Thanks Karak.

[@ACGreviews]

you bet Jeremy

[@terrydrain]

Jeremy Sutherland It is on my toplist of favorite games, I cant stop recommending this, so good!

[@ryaneastern4010]

Was considering cancelling my pre order for the switch, great review just subbed look forward to more reviews

[@sethhahn5940]

You may be the only reviewer that I actually watch all the way through and look forward to watching :D

[@Jambobist]

Really surprised, in a good way, that this turned out so well.

[@trestrom6401]

With the whole KZbin adocalypse. Thing going on I wouldn't mind you doing sponsored videos along with your Patreon. I love your videos. You have become the very first reviewer I watch for my game reviews. With all these triple A games coming out this year. Battlefront 2, WW2, Destiny 2, Assassins Creed: whatever edition. I'm gonna need you to start doing some accounting work and saving me money. ;D

[@FlowerKnight2]

I'm buying it for the Seagull sounds. I like seagull sounds.

[@cristiangamesgames]

seriously you're the best reviewer out there, your comments are top notch and everything else is just perfect, keep on doing what you're doing man

[@ACGreviews]

thanks Moreno

[@PrivasGuitar]

Didn't even know this was out yet... Still working on Vanquish! Buying it tonight. Thanks for another stellar review.

[@ACGreviews]

you bet

[@FABRIZZLE]

Great review. Though it needs to be said that, even though ACG says there is “no story”, the truth is, it’s one of those games that just seems obscure until you get to the end and then all is brilliantly laid out before you. It’s actually a very heartfelt story and every bit worth the effort to reach its conclusion.

[@Babarky]

Genuinely the only reviewer I watch now. Never let me down on a game purchase. Thank you! I remember when you first started this channel and decided to work so hard on it - hope it's paying you back!

[@makiimedia]

hey just wanted to leave giant probs again today. its been a few years since i subscribed because I liked the reviews so much and you re still being incredibly consistent and thourough. indepth and always a reliable opinion. thanks a lot and keep it up buddy

[@ACGreviews]

thanks for the support Seth

[@spooky_electric]

Great review. I thought it looked good from the few gameplay trailers I've seen, but it sounds even better than I imagine. Much like ICO and Journey, it sounds like a game that actually lives up to its promise. Can't wait to play it.

[@giannameisner1536]

Omg this is the first time I’ve watched one of these reviews, and was happily surprised to see it is both informational and hilarious!

[@mitthjarta5]

great review as usual. (: Read an interview recently that one of the higher ups forbid the developers from playing The Witness until the home stretch, in December. Due to fear it'd influence or demotivate them too much. They also created deadlight, an interesting side-scrolling platform adventure zombie game with a decent amount of artistic flair, was one of the key sources of funding for this from what I heard. quite a decent title, that holds up pretty well years later.

[@destroyerofmtwcun1087]

This channel deserves more subscribers these reviews are great, and my go to review channel.

[@bargainboymakem1]

Karak always has this knack of leading me to buy games I wouldn't normally buy.

[@NooooooThanks]

4:48 - 4:58 Pure poetry ACG, couldnt paint a better picture lmfao

[@TheXeniu]

Hey Karak, I wanted to piont out that your channel and game reviews are way underrated. Your reviews are always funny and witty and overall entertaining to watch. Before I buy a new game, I always check out your channel first if theres any review yet. You should be at 3-4 million subscribers, imo! I'll spread the word. Cheers!

[@davemerritt5949]

Game arrives on PS plus, instantly head for old ACG review you've already seen to confirm whether it's worth the download :)

[@zionich]

I will be waiting on the Switch version because portable gaming is what my life most allows. Thanks for the awesome reviews as always.

[@herbstwerk]

Was waiting for something to scratch that Witness/Firewatch itch, this seems like it will do the trick for a few hours.

[@marsneedscheerleaders]

I know the gremlins got you good a few days ago, but man I refresh my feed 20 times a day Hoping to see a podcast, dev interview, or a walking the walk. Your insight has definitely changed the way I approach and appreciate media. Thank you for your hard work Karak. The bearded shaman of gaming bringing you reviews at the speed of embargo!

[@ACGreviews]

ya this week has been a disaster

[@marsneedscheerleaders]

You'll bounce back like Flubber. Your next work is always your best work.

[@whiskyfox7943]

Your writing is so good!!! You make buying stuff way easier.

[@LJMpictures]

Love the visual style of it, excellent review as always

[@ChrisKoelsch]

Definitely picking this up. Love these type of games and there is nothing else out right now that is really peaking my interest. Great review.

[@RE4PER]

Just wanted to say this is the first video I have watched of yours and it was a fantastic straight to the point review. You sir have earned a sub.

[@biikuajet]

Awesome review man. keep up the good work and best wishes from sweden. :)

[@justaguy6100]

Good review, truly appreciate that it's NOT sponsored and still has pretty upmarket patter.

[@NHC2000]

Great review! At first you sounded like you where mad with Rime developers or the Rime creator, but in the end, it was very good information and opinion. Keep up the good work!

[@smartbluecat]

Man, I could listen to you all day. Thank you for another tasty word-fu review.

[@Elitiest_Hitman]

I feel like $2.00 per hour is a fair exchange. a $60.00 game should give me 30 hours. This is just personal preference though and value is totally subjective. But using my formula this game should cost $12.00. But it's nearly three times that. So I will wait for a sale. Love your reviews!

[@ahmedbehery8972]

your channel is a great example for hard work always pays off . best reviewer on youtube periode . keep up the good work man

[@dohertyaaron]

Thanks for the impressions. Looks really atmospheric.

[@miketonelli3000]

This is such a well written well executed review. Good job man. Keep it up.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks mike

[@Mixx10]

Excellent review as always Karak. I really hope this plays well on the Switch. Holding out for that version

[@RattlesOn88]

Really enjoy your reviews, I will definitely pick this up for the switch later!

[@kylemassey4060]

You have so much to say about the audio of games. I don't think I've ever seen that in a reviewer before.

[@WiiAllTheWayHome]

always with the awesome reviews!

[@Cheezer3089]

Thanks for the honest review

[@hitmonkey4726]

Its free on ps plus for february. Surely gonna try this.

[@Irond3vil2]

Just wanna thank you for your informative and excellent reviews. Anyone can tell that you know what you are talking about and critique and praise is doled out fairly and well motivated backed by a technical understanding that few reviewers possess while not forgetting to point out the fun factors and if it is worth our money as the game is today

[@ACGreviews]

you bet

[@lucky5th2]

do you have plans to do this for God of war and spiderman?

[@DeepStateDonny]

Nice review. Didn't think you'd review this game but glad you did. I hope the Switch release date gets announced soon

[@hendrikc.5984]

What I especially love about your reviews, Karak (apart from the phenomenal amount of research and the clever writing) is that I can enjoy your review without having to watch it. I'm one of those guys who REALLY avoid gameplay videos of any kind for a game I'm interested in, so I really appreciate that. You're the best and I'll keep spreading the word!

[@ACGreviews]

my thanks sir

[@Abhinav-o9v]

Amazing reviews as always. You are the best games reviewer currently IMO. Keep up the good work.

[@zensoredparagonbytes3985]

This looks like art to me. The warmth of the colours. The sense of a familiar, yet not entirely, solitude. I love it.

[@cajunasian71]

Thanks for another great, honest review. Looking forward to getting this on the Switch.

[@rjjeffreys]

Karak, please never stop reviewing games here. Your opinions on games are always in-depth, unbiased, straightforward and much appreciated here.

[@iijumperi8711]

Im so happy that this went Multiplatform. Cant wait to play it tomorrow on my Xbox :)

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

I was looking forward to this on until they had some trouble, then I was just nervous it would get cancelled or suck, glad to see they managed to finish it and that it's good.

[@larryjohnson150]

Am I the only one that gets a slight Breath Of The Wild vibe from the art style?

[@davidemascolo936]

You're not alone, but BOTW is certainly not the first game to employ that type of look, and considering how much the two games are different otherwise (RiME is much smaller in size, scope, and not least the budget and number of people that worked on it), I'd say the similarities are just coincidental.

[@JuanManuelTastzian]

Nice review, as always. Looking forward to it's release on the Switch.

[@primateboogaloo]

Just discovered this channel - I'm a pretty casual gamer and after viewing the IGN review for this game, I was a little disheartened, as I was looking forward to playing this... but now I want to buy it! Many thanks, great review.

[@Umiedo]

Loving your review ACG, this one convinced me to get this game for PC! You ever concidered doing any "retro" reviews? Well, mostly I just wanna see your review of Bloodborne. But i get it if you don't wanna go down that road. Keep up the good work!

[@Martinspire]

At 0:58 its one of those "which button was picking up again?". I lolled.

[@NetheusNull]

Great review, the world reminds me a bit of The Witness.

[@vinniecorleone62]

Never saw this one coming, looks terrific, thanks for the detailed review of it, I really like what I see & hear about it.

[@rivenwood3841]

I am playing this game currently. I enjoy the music i love classical music anyway. Most players will not fully understand this game overall this game is a journey about grief and dealing with the grief process but you will not know this until the very end of the game after the credits, the ending is where you begin to understand the grief process a bit sad but enjoyable. I will re-play the game tonight.

[@baldswagg79]

Always phenomenal with the reviews.

[@Eric-sy1xu]

Stellar review as always, Karak

[@jborrelli34]

IGN or Gamespot reviews will sway you in the wrong direction, THIS review nails it ,not based off of Karaks personal opinion, but how he reviews it based off of how he reviews it as its own entity. IGNs main gripe is how “other games do it better”. well, please define “it“. I really like how Karaks comparisons are lightly based and not compared to what makes a game unique. stellar job again ACG!

[@dargis49]

Was looking for a review on this and..... ACG never fails.

[@FeloniousP]

the most ethical reviews on KZbin... Thanks!

[@VinceDPad]

Another excellent review, Karak. Been looking forward to this game for quite some time.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@cubansupreme]

and here i thought you wouldn't be able to get a review in for RIME cause of errors and whatever other problems you were supposedly having as of late with several upcoming game reviews. thanks for getting this one out there Karak.

[@ACGreviews]

almost couldn't

[@cubansupreme]

yet you somehow pulled it off anyway. good on you Karak. sadly, this might be a pass for me (even though i loved Journey). i might give it another look at some point in the near future.

[@EVO1148]

Came here having finally had the chance to play it (thanks PSplus :D ) and having watched the GameSpot review by someone who seems like they've never played a puzzle platformer or indeed any game that doesn't hold your hand the entire way through. Your gripes, few though they were, were all fair, and things I had noticed but put to the back of my mind. Would have been interested to hear your take on the story and ending though (without the spoilers of course)

[@MarceloTezza]

Hey man, i noticed you slowed down the rithm a little, thats good for the not native ones, surely more subs will happen. Great move.

[@ACGreviews]

I didnt now. But funny enough slower always equals less views strangel

[@MarceloTezza]

ACG Oh sorry, i was so confident that you intentionaly slowed down a little, coffee must changed my perception level hahaha!

[@ACGreviews]

lol its fine brother no issues

[@sbuderlenyora]

looks right up my alley. the last guardian failed to scratch that itch for a good atmospheric puzzle game for me, great review as always ACG

[@Conorcdm]

Your reviews are the BEST. Really appreciate all the hard work that goes into them. May you live on a throne built of your accomplishments good sir!

[@BasementMinions]

Happy to hear it actually turned out well after all of the problems it has gone through.

[@TheRedTieGuy]

Great review - as always! Didn't actually know this game came out, was there any marketing done? Maybe I just didn't see it.

[@TarksGauntlet]

Great review man! I reviewed this myself and after uploading this morning seen IGN and Gamespots review and my god.... They really dicked the dog.

[@Yayadays111]

was a bit concerned how the game would turn up, good to see it is well received

[@eiadtarabulsi]

I definitely feel a Legend of Zelda Wind Waker/Firewatch/Journey vibe that the game has. I'm also getting a bit of a Last Guardian vibe as well, in terms of traversal, platforming and level design. The game seems like its very enjoyable. The visuals look pretty good and are vibrant. The puzzles are fun to solve. The music is beautiful. However, the one issue that I have with the game is that it clocks in at around 6 hours which is quiet short given its $30 price tag. Perhaps $20 or $25 would've been a more suitable price point for Rime. Other than that, I can see myself buying this game because its something that I would highly enjoy. Awesome review as always Karak!

[@GTONeko]

Awesome job for the review. $30 for a 6-hour puzzle game is worth it, but at the same time, it does sound like you sort of gave the Buy recommendation with a VERY slight asterisk, plus with my lack of timing being frugal overall, I'll probably wait until it does go down a bit when I can afford the time to put into a beautiful looking game.

[@ACGreviews]

no I just gave it a buy

[@simonhunter7437]

Spot on review 👍

[@innocentbystander6620]

whoa...1st. Awesome review as always mucker. I think i'll wait a while for a sale, cant justify the cash for a short game with no replay value but it looks great.

[@mr.penguin4614]

best reviewer by far. does a far better job than anyone else in terms of range of genres and incredibly in depth in every video review i've seen. thank you

[@funjuror]

As always,very informative and hugely entertaining.Thx

[@tylerspears5437]

great review thinking of getting it looks cool

[@GoemonHachigusa]

You made me buy this game. Great review as always keep up the good work! :-)

[@rangav248]

Do you know a good place to find research on a budget gaming PC ($400-$500) ? Also great review, Thank You

[@Gilinator]

There's no better reviewer on earth than ACG!

[@jjshakeNbake]

Bought this game after your review and I loved it thank you!

[@groovymotion5706]

Nice review. I am getting more and more into this type of game! I will wait for a sale though :)

[@luispalacios9852]

i like how i never planned to buy this game but still come for the review

[@Flomas98]

Subscribed because the guy who did this review was amazing good job !

[@ACGreviews]

thanks for subscribing
