I really like how straight to the point these reviews are, but sometimes, they can feel oh so harsh..!

[@spamus5243]

I agree. But I also like that to some extent, because small annoyances tend to grate on me when I'm playing games. Things bother me that probably wouldn't bother the average player, so I'm picky when I buy games. In the same breath, when a review is very postive here, I know it's high praise because there's high standards. You also learn the different approaches of the different reviewers. KC Nwosu is very critical and saves praise for games that really earn it. Amy Campbell, though, has a much more positive approach - being more lenient, but also finding more positive aspects of games.

KitTheKat you know,the character design part is mostly true,Wanda and ???(air element) have a worse character design than Terry,Wanda has 2nd place best character design from all I have seen

[@kitthekat6844]

@@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766 Your point?

[@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766]

KitTheKat my point is that I’m just saying that Stuff about character design,it’s relevant to your comment and the video,whats your point in saying “Your point?” To me

[@kitthekat6844]

​@@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766 It feels like you're just bashing the character design for no reason while my comment was not about that. I did not understand the need to post something like that under my comment. If you dislike the character design, that's perfectly fair of you, but I simply don't see the connection with my comment about the reviews and yours about the character design. Take a look at Spamus' reply above yours. They were talking about how they liked the fact these reviews where picky because so are they, and it helps them find games they enjoy! He also talks about how the different reviewers have different style, some trying to be more critical while others trying to find the positive aspect in the games they play. Again, relevant to my comment about the reviews. My point in asking you what was your point was simply to understand why you went on a rant about character design when I was talking about reviews ^^

[@theelike4302]

Game is currently on sale for only $10 but after hearing about the problems I don't think I'll be buying it. I like the concept but control and camera issues in a platformer are instant deal breakers for me. Plus I have enough games to play I don't need to add one that's just okay to my backlog.

[@fwd8936]

The golem should be named Boulder. The title of the game could be Boulder and Skully

[@missitheachievementhuntres560]

Glad to hear I’m not alone with having troubles with the platforming aspect of this game. So far I only heard people who call the game east.. while I died around 30 times on lvl 2 (ok 20 of them in one area where I kept failing a platform section)

[@jasonwilson6189]

Appreciate your reviews. Quick and to the point and review indy and under the radar games!

[@peterfinnfilms]

I discovered this today after randomly looking up the developers of Maize to see what they'd been up to, and it turns out they had made this! I loved Maize; I hope this one's good, too.

[@gatorjk]

Just picked this up for $5 at Walmart. Excited to give it a go

[@PewPew_McPewster]

Could you guys do a 3 minute review on CrossCode? It's been out for like a month now and it's really good!

[@axa6503]

ok, i'm sold.

[@Pratanjali64]

Yeah the 3 minute reviews are really good like that. Me: eh, I'll pass. You: sold!

[@Paxtez]

I miss the days were indie games would be like $5-$15 on PC, now they are all $30.

[@strawman5300]

They are also starting to match AA and even maby AAA titles.

[@Paxtez]

@@strawman5300 Oh, I'm not saying that it isn't worth it, or they don't deserve more. Just that I miss being able to buy good games that cheap. But based on your name, you might just be trolling..

[@dunar1005]

Game development in general got more expensive

[@Paxtez]

@@dunar1005 Oh again, I understand, and I don't blame them. But you can miss something while still understanding why it is gone.

[@nocturnalstateofmind441]

just get it on igg games ?

[@burnheartgames9875]

i got this game. its fun. I agree with you. its overly frustrating. for a 2020 game i felt it wasnt up to standards with its graphics, aesthetics, and gameplay.

[@Frenchylikeshikes]

It looks pretty fun.

[@TheCreepypro]

I like the aesthetic and the mechanics cool game

[@SuperKillJoy15]

Im getting crash bandicoot wrath of cortex vibes with the elementals all vying for controller and more platform based boss battles

[@gamer708886]

This game is borderline a rage game. The game in and of itself is fun but that fun is sucked away by bad physics and the camera, and some graphical errors. There are not many games I have walked away from without completing but the second there was a chase level, in game with so many problems, I put down the controller and cased it. I may try to play it again later but it is shelved for now. This game is 2/10. O-O

[@5T4T10NDR4GON]

45 seconds in and I'm sold.

[@lonreed9743]

Kinda reminds me of Kameo: Elements of Power

[@haibrei140]

it cost 1 dollar on instant gaming tho

[@dankslurpee]

Eeeep, $30 for that!?

[@mattevans4377]

Yeah, knock 10 off the price, I'd be sold.

[@The_Jovian]

It's still a full game that people put a lot of time and money into. And it only looks a bit unpolished, c'mon

[@mattevans4377]

@@The_Jovian It's not so much the look, but how much time you'd likely get out if it. Smaller game, cheaper price.

[@The_Jovian]

@@mattevans4377 but it's not the size, it's the amount of work that went in, especially for an indie game

[@mattevans4377]

@@The_Jovian That's not how the games industry works. Maybe it should, but good luck changing the industry and people's own judgments (including my own)....

[@coreymartin3218]

30 bucks for an 8 hour game with no replayability value? No thanks.

[@Jeesh]

looks like a cheap kids game

[@defhead2]

Doesn’t look great

[@augustwilson9633]

This game was so bad lmaoooo
