Not once did it feel like the puzzles were starting to get repetitive that's the biggest praise I could ever give to the puzzles in signalis

[@Deunstephe]

Just to make things super clear: the opening cinematic quip is a quote from H.P. Lovecraft's "The Festival." It's a direct quote - he wrote "are digged," and it's an artistic liberty to keep it as it was written. The reading goes beyond just the game, Mayo. You have to read... IN REAL LIFE. 😏

Yup! I didn't know the quote at all. Went ahead and clipped that section out. And I do read ;) I just read non fiction. I mainly stick to history, science, etc when I'm reading.

[@jeffsanders9196]

I read the facts. I read the literature. I got an S+ ranking on my first play through of every survival horror game.

[@Deunstephe]

The thing about the fakeout ending is that to me it seems pretty obvious that it's not the end. If it sends you back to the main menu and everything looks different, then that's the sort of signal (haha) that things have changed and you should check them out. Other than that I'm really happy you loved this game and like another commenter said I think the title/thumbnail implies that you disliked more than you did. Survival horror is alive in 2022 and it's goddamn amazing.

In terms of item management, I think Signalis should’ve borrowed from RE1R a little bit more and have the items that are used for the secondary equip slot not take up inventory, but make the consumables weaker to compensate. I hardly ever used the consumables because of how little space I have for them, and the modules just feel like they should be a permanent upgrade for Elster. The photo module specifically is a neat idea, but if it’s gonna take up space, I’m just gonna use my phone.

[@underthemayo]

Exactly. Make that the photo module and the flashlight equipment types and not inventory items.

I liked Signalis but the little things you mentioned prevent it from being perfect in my eyes. The doors not opening is one of the worst. I took damage several times because of this. I agree 100% with your suggestion about the flashlight as well. Using the inspect option, I kept pushing the button to see if there was something on the object and it only made me exit the menu and select another item. It's a shame it's such a useless feature...

Finished it today, thank you mayo for recommending these masterpieces

[@TheSoxfan815]

I think it takes aspects of both RE and SH and improves on both of them. The narrative had me engaged throughout my 3 or so playthroughs. One thing it objectively does better is that the tense feeling is never lost while playing the game. RE has voice lines that can ruin the atmosphere and this applies to SH with some of its characters.

[@MightyBoot]

About the Fake Ending. I too was also initially mislead by that. However, i didn't choose the Begin option, i selected Quit. because it was late at night and i had to go to work the next day. It still, however, brought me back into the game. i haven't tried the other two, but i would assume the same outcome happens. choosing quit, but having the game put you directly back in would make anyone curious. especially with a different title background. Needless to say i was really tired at work the next day.

[@robbyg1232]

The door thing got on my nerves and led to a lot more damage taken then i would have liked.

[@mro9466]

Alisa was cool, but a bit rough around the edges. Signalis is a fucking masterpiece. It's like someone played the original PS1 Resident Evil games and understood everything that made these games great all the while being able to create a nice sci-fi variation of this classic RE template. More of this :D

[@johnonyango3166]

12:45 I know this video has been out for a while so you probably know by now. But the reason for all the health is so that you can get one of the endings in the game which requires you to heal a lot among other things.

[@aihereplia]

I kid you not. I keep the photograph with me throughout the game, limiting my inventory to only 5 and it didn't pay off. I'm kinda disappointed not gonna lie but still a great game and I didn't have that much problem with having only 5 slots since I never took ammo or health with me unless I'm sure which room I want to take a fight like bosses or hallways that I take often. The problem I really have is like you mentioned. I, too, have took bunch of cheap hits at the door because it wouldn't simply open a lot of times especially in Sierpinski and Apartment area. There's also a lot of times the enemies are too close to the door that I got hit right after entering the room without any time to parry as well. I avoid combat for the most part for the first half of the game but fed up with it and turn into doomguy by the Nowhere area with tons of ammo I stocked up even in survival difficulty. (somehow, I still got the promise ending) Stun gun is the most broken item because you can multi-hit enemies which saved a lot of ammo. And being able to parry most hit(when it works) definitely helps, too. Btw, new updates put in the option to have more inventory slots or another option to have modules use separate slot but keep the 6 slots the same. This would help new players a lot. The only thing I think I would want is melee weapon to prevent getting soft-locked or forced to die in boss encounter.

Signalis, oh Signalis.... Great game, classic survival horror with a few flaws here and there but overall still good. The notes are very much needed to understand a bulk of the story but much of it can be cut down. Gotta say though, among all the notes thus far, the ones in the ending were the best. To anyone who is playing the game, I recommend you read them.

[@DatAsianGuy]

yeah, the notes definitely are... a lot. I loved the story, but I wish maybe a few more cutscenes or maybe even more environmental storytelling. it really relies to heavily on notes and diaries.

[@Flameshadow22]

I finished signalis in survivor a few days after it came out and... I had some mixed feelings on it. I think the game is really solid, but I didn't get hooked on the story the same way you did. The game requires too much reading for my taste and some of its long exposition really hampers the pace. I am also not a fan of the very limited inventory space. I am usually a hoarder in these types of game and by the halfway point I was usually carrying only a single loaded weapon and a stack of healing items (plus any required puzzle item needed for specific areas) and I was constantly having to make mutiple trips to get all the loot. I eventually dropped the health item to make more room and still needed multiple trips, while avoiding enemies whenever possible and burning tough enemies in main paths. Ended up with massive stacks of unused ammo and healing by the end game. So I guess the game doesn't want you to pick everything up? Or engage more in combat? But that's kinda dumb because resources are limited... I don't know, the balanced seemed off to me, while incentivizing tedious backtracking to get all the items in each area.

Hey Mayo, I really love your content but I wanted to give you "my opinion" about your way of expressing yourself. You are good at deconstructing every aspect of games/movies and providing deep analysis on subject, but your general style of staying in the middle ground, being "respectful" to all points of view is what's keeping you from being truly entertaining to watch. As the comment below said, sometimes you force your criticism, maybe to seem like a professional critic, but the truth is - you're a youtuber and it would've been much more pleasing to hear it seamless through your "story" about a subject, not just splitting it on "that I like, that I don't like". Like I understand why you took down your original video on TAG2, being the face of youtube Doom community and in contact with the developers, but that video was the most honest and powerful than any, even tho I agree it was not made with clear head, but that is what many of us felt deep down, and your re-upload was soooo dull and bland in comparison, but more "professional", of course. And at the same time you make it very personal and passive-agressive when your expectations about Sifu were ruined. So, decide who you really want to be, cause you can't catch two birds. You have an amazing voice with a strong knowledge on how to deliver yourself (aside from humor, but that's also imo), but the actual delivery is not for the first group of people, neither it for the second. Also, sorry for my mistakes and thanks for everything you're doing!

Thanks. All I can do is write scripts the way I want to write them. This video was written exactly how I wanted. I can't always be emotional because I don't always feel that way.

[@fwamable394]

Signalis is great. My game of the year. Honestly the notes weren't a problem for me because it's in my muscle memory to just skip through notes really quickly. (that came back to bight me in the apartments lol) I also want to ask what happened to the Signalis stream vod? There's a clip of it but not the vod. It looks like a fun watch.

[@format9802]

Yo, u doing a gow ragnarok review in the future?

[@underthemayo]

A project that large takes a while.

[@jamesjones4085]

Hey Mayo if you wanna play another great indie survival horror game, check out Darkwood. It’s not really a “traditional” survival horror game, it does it’s own thing compared to Signalis. But it’s definitely both survival and horror.

[@underthemayo]

Darkwood is cool, I respect it. But it goes way too far into the crafting side of gameplay and for me I don't enjoy that.

[@jamesjones4085]

@@underthemayo Fair criticism, there is a lot of crafting. It takes some getting used to. IMO it makes the game feel exactly how scavenging through a wasteland should feel. But I can see how some would be put off by it. I feel a similar way about Signalis’s puzzles. I thought they were great, but I can see how it could be too much for some. Great review though. I agreed with most of the points you made.

[@angryinternetperson6629]

Mayo, are you planning on trying out the Evil Within? Have you ever considered it? I really think you should, because I'm interested in hearing your opinion on that game. It's a perfect balance between Resident Evil, Silent Hill and even Dead Space (to an extent). That game clearly took a ton of inspiration from those games, and I think you'd quite enjoy it. Anyway, that's my recommendation. I hope you see this.

[@orbix2645]

Yo under the mayo u should play this game called “in sound mind” it’s a psychological horror game but it’s not that scary. The gameplay is super unique and it has some really good and fun explanation Imo. It supposed to feel like the old games like half life and it’s severely underrated. It’s a game that went under the radar sadly.

[@gus8426]

Pixelart really turns me off...why

[@TranceVivi]

Excellent video. I completed this game yesterday. Loved it! I did the exact same thing you did with the fake ending. Came back another day and saw the continue and was mega confused 😂 other then all the quality of life stuff you mentioned like door positioning/ inventory space for a flashlight etc. probs an unpopular opinion , but the only problem i had with the game was.. i wish not every enemy got up like a crimson head from re1 remake. I would rather the enemies be a little harder to kill.. and alot but not all eventually got up. Maybe some more enemy types too

[@elcaponeholyemperorofnj1169]

Where’s your discord?

[@isaacbelcher4984]

I wanna play it even more now

[@Tequila628]

Typical DOOM gamer, skipped notes and didn't understand the fake ending. jk jk. Still disappointed in you :-( I personally got the Promise ending and all achievements on the first playthrough.

[@YEY0806]

Has anyone noticed the weird replies to alot of comments that don't say anything 🤔

[@fwamable394]

Those are from like a scam bot account impersonating mayo.

[@YEY0806]

@Fwamable Ah, alright, thanks for the information

[@latinaparfait]

@@YEY0806 Some of them are, others are censored comments that KZbin auto censors if you say certain words.

[@JustinBorowski13]

If you used your screenshot to view pics and not the in game camera item, you're not an OG.

[@RealRogerFK]

Ok you convinced me to play it only judging by the title

[@5izzy557]

Thanks, I didn't even know of this game.

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

My Lover told Me to play it, it was perfect and very scary to Me.

[@underthemayo]

That's a sexy lover.

[@JustinBorowski13]

****×*Spoilers*&*** That room with the one hexagonal plate and the razor wire would've been straight up nightmare fuel + a gank if I hadn't lucked out and brought my shotgun with me 😱😱😱 that room was very rude

[@RheaLynnSummers]

You should check out dark wood. Its quite a gem.

[@gustavosm7]

Hey, i would like to see you playing and talking about Ratuz, a indie game inspired in Inside.

[@i_love_musique333]

Should have had unlimited inventory like SH and no goofy anime characters. Just doesn't fit

[@BlueMarsalis]

Goofy lmao.

[@Maxler5795]

I know im going to regret this later, but mayo should play Yakuza 0.

[@Fedor_Kisliakov]

Jared did convince me to buy it, even if it's overpriced as fuck in Russia. I tried it a bit, and it seems fascinating, but I was replaying Dead Space 1-2 in the anticipation of both the remake and Callisto Protocol. Now that I'm done with it, it's time to focus my full attention on Signalis

[@i_love_musique333]

Hell yeah dude, what's your experience

[@napalmsanctuaryx4129]

I'm glad you gave a spoiler warning. I just got to the Mines today. Great review. Seeing the word "digged" was a bit odd. There's another classic style survival horror game coming out on steam soon. It's called the Hotel. Only problem is that there is another horror game called the hotel that looks like your basic cheap first person horror game. If you search it on KZbin a vid by ultimate gamerz on the classic survival horror game should come up first. It does for me.

[@maxwellvindman7212]

make a bad take on another amazing game

[@underthemayo]

Like Resident Evil Village?

[@gebist8396]

What is bad?

[@mrcwalker33]

Great video and great game. I was hyped for it for long and it delivered. Hope they make a second

[@plaguedoctorjamespainshe6009]

Why i hate Signalis: i can't read
