Oh God I can watch a video without fear of getting BG3 spoiled. Hurray!🎉 Congrats on the frequency Mort, hope you’re getting enough time for yourself.

How on earth do you have the time to do all these 100% reviews/playthroughs - you are a gaming beast.

Finally, a good review that doesn't subtract value from a game based on the fact that other, bigger games are coming out around it. Mort coming in clutch with the high standards as usual. I think there is and should always be a place for games like this. Not everything has to be "new". Deck 13 has never really built its games on novelty for novelty's sake, and has a track record of making games that feel like refinements and interesting twists on things people have done before, combined in cool ways - did anyone expect anything different? But classic elements from multiple sources put together in a great and distinct way is, in itself, an experience worth having.

When Mort says "however" you know it's gonna be a deep review ahead of you.

Just subscribed, Found your channel through your Baldur's Gate 3 content. As someone who loves to complete games and chase those trophies, your approach connect with me. Looking forward for more content!

Mort is a machine! Keep up the good work!

Nice review! This wasn’t on my radar before but it is now. Looks like a lot of fun

Good to see you enjoyed this. I'll probably play through Atlas Fallen and hope BG3 gets another patch or two in the meantime.

Thanks for the video. Kind of impressive that AA made an interesting that was fun to explore. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.

What I like most about this game is of course the world. There’s just something mythical about desert landscapes that I find enthralling. Sand biomes encourage me to get lost

I've had my eye on this game for a while. Sounds and looks like it's actually worth the time. Thank you.

I only recently found your reviews but I absolutely love them. You’re incredibly objective in your reviews and when add in the fact that you 100%, it just makes for a very solid review experience. Appreciate all the work you put into these videos.

Nice review, I'll probably pick it up as a result 👍

I am *very* keen on this game as I was one of the few people who had a great time with Forspoken. My main concerns were about game length and repetition here, so your 100% completion reviews are the best way for me to work out if it’s worth the money! Thanks as always, Mortismal!

Dude wow you’re the first page I’ve seen post a review of this, and how fast?? Looking forward to getting your take

He finished this before he started bg3, in case you were wondering

The game had been on my radar for a bit but I saw it on sale and then saw this review because I subscribed to you a few weeks ago. Must’ve been a sign from the universe because I am having a BLAST with this game. Thank you for the video and keep up the great work and don’t forget to take care of yourself!

Wasn't expecting a review for this. Reminds me a lot of Darksiders which is one of my favorite series. Probably won't buy it yet since BG3 just came out, and then Blasphemous 2 later in the month as well as Armoured Core, then Starfield in September, so idk when I'll have time to play this but I am very interested, don't mind some AA jank

The world and gameplay reminds me of Darksiders. The momentum abilities on the other hand reminds me of Transistor, which also had a highly customizable ability system! Edit: I might pick it up when it's on sale Edit 2: I'm surprised that the steam reviews are so bad. It's sitting at ~40%

How you find the time too 100% games in the time you do, even if it's your job is honestly mind blowing! I only just reached Act 2 in BG3 lol, tbf i'm taking it as slow as possible and searching everything i see but i can imagine you also do this! You a FAST boi man. Respect

Hope you not getting burned by all the content you put out Mortismal! And hoping its worth it moneywise for you😊 You deserve a good paycheck for all the hours you must put in,, and then editing etc..

Didn’t realize this was from the Surge devs. That and your review have put it on my wishlist.

This is a bit off topic, but is related. I am buying this on my PS5 even though I have a pretty decent gaming laptop that was best in class (ROG Zephyrus GX701 - was around 4000 USD) at the time & came out months before the PS5. I recently bought a PS5 (purely because I bought the new Samsung QLED 85in TV & home theatre system and thought fuck it) and I am finding these sort of games run so much better on the PS5. This most certainly looks like a console game rather a PC one (15 years ago games like this were not really being released on the PC) - and anything that does just seems to run so much better on PS5. I honestly do not see any reason to buy a new PC setup anytime soon; the games that are better on PC (RTS/turn based/CRPG etc) are not very demanding & I believe my machine will be fine for another 2-3 years for such games. If I bought at top of the range PC now that could run everything, the costs would be absolutely ridiculous - I am sick of seeing companies like NVIDIA take the absolute piss with their ridiculously greedy prices for graphics cards. I absolutely love gaming on my PC - but I won't be mugged off. My next games machine purchase will likely be the PS5 pro (Q4 2024) & I believe this will be a point when we see just how atrociously PC gamers have it with pricing; the price vs performance is going to be absolutely wild when comparing the two (It's already bad - but I think this will be a real turning point & a lot of PC gamers will just choose the PS5 pro over a PC upgrade - Ive already done it & think that what I have right now is the best move I could have made). Gaming has been the one constant in my life since I was 5 & I turn 43 next month. I have owned so many computers & consoles during that time & I have never seen anything remotely close to how bad things are now for PC gamers. Sorry to hijack the thread with this - but this is the first day one game I am buying on my PS5 over PC, so I guess it's as good a place as any.

This is definitely a put it in my keep an eye on its price list and when it drops to half off I'll buy it to play whenever the next fallow season for games comes about. But currently, I'm in BG3 heaven, looking forward to Spacerim but waiting on reviews, Jagged Alliance 3--which I started but BG3 has vastly supplanted and Armored Core 6, yeah, a new property I haven't heard of before but you enjoyed will get waitlisted.

100 percent? Wtf, it's not even out. I'm starting to think you've ascended to new 100 percent superpowers

Mannn I was waiting for you to drop this 💯💯. I was looking forward to this game because the gameplay looked really interesting and fun. But I was unsure if it was worth buying. I was hoping that the game had a great variety of armor sets. Weapons, and combos. After watching this I think I’m going to cop it

This review just made me buy the game tbh. I'm downloading it while watching the video. Cheers 😊

As always, a top notch review. The game had fallen off my radar, mainly because of bg3, but it's something I now may check out.

Sir, you're a mad lad, I've barely scratched the surface on BG3 😂

Looks more interesting than most i have seen, might just give it a shot (or wait for the price to drop)

It looks pretty neat. It really sucks for the dev that it's coming on the heels of BG3. This will probably be a fun pickup in a year and a half on a 90% off sale on steam.

This came in clutch before starfield for me. Ill get into the action gameplay and later dive into an rpg. Thank you for the review

Was already interested in this, but this video sealed the deal.

I do hope that most players can differentiate and temper expectation between AA and AAA games. :) Goes a long way to enjoying a the game itself, many easily overlook for not having a weird personal amalgamation of mixed quality standards. :p

100% completion?! Subscribed. 😊

Action games with also a fun traversal mechanic are pretty rare so this looks interesting. Basically Forspoken but good ? It even also has the special piece of metal on your wrist

It looks like a solid game. Added it to my wishlist already.

looks great !

I like you, so i subbed.

I got confused and thought this was Lords of the Fallen, and was surprised it was so early, then got excited when you said it was coming out tomorrow. damn. Never even heard of this game.

I definitely bought it because it is my type of game but BG3 is priority for now. I will try to get to this after BG3. :)

I'll pick this up eventually , but wow this game released at a very competitive time

Well done - Your reviews are a breath of fresh air; especially with the IGN + similar lame reviews that are becoming just putrid.

Does it have haptic feedback on ps5?

Really though to release a game like this right now right after BG3 and with Starfield around the corner. Between work and BG3 i wont have time to check it out, i´ll wishlist it and get on a sale down the line. Looks like a decent enough game, hope they will sell some copies still.

Does anyone else feel a serious connection to the stormlight archives with this new ip? I am all for it btw. I thought forspoken wore mistborn on its sleeve. Even the tassled cloak felt ripped straight from those pages.

I love this kind of games but after watching and reading multiple different reviews and user reviews, I´ll probably wait for slight sale with this one. Good review as always tho.

Might check this one out

So it’s Forespoken but good?

I have had to objectives that I completed but they didn’t complete for me to progress so I had to reload save to get encounter to work

Not a bad break for a BG3 channel. Now back to now BG3 content!! 😂

You said it doesn't run on the Steam Deck yet I've seen videos of someone running it on the Deck on medium setting with framerate between 35-45 fps. Is there a section of the game the Deck having trouble running? Could there have been an update since you've tested it on the Deck? P.S There was a launch day patch which explains why the game runs a lot better on the Deck now.

When do you find time to sleep 😭 Actually the GOAT

Yours are about the only reviews I trust. Everyone else called this game mediocre yet gave other games 9/10s that didn't have nearly as much content as this game. It's like they have an agenda to only keep certain games in the public eye even tho they aren't that good (FF16)

This game had so little advertising I forgot it existed

The visuals and combat really remind me of Dragon's Dogma

This man cannot be stopped

Mort! If I could make a recommendation: Please do some classic games, like KOTOR/New Vegas/Skyrim/Witcher. I think it would be great for the channel!

Great to see a game that is not a giant mess. 2023 has not been kind to PC ports this year. Thanks for the review

This game seems really interesting....nothing super new but fun as hell, definitely will buy it on some sale or something. Bad date to launch a game tbh, feel sorry for em.

ty for saving my time

Wow. 100% already. I usually get my games a day before official release, and I haven't even gotten anywhere near a that.

seems like a fun game to kill time until armored core

Does 100% mean, finishing the main story, or also all sidequests?

probably decent game releasing in a pretty terrible window.. personally will keep my eye on it and see if I pick it up on sale later this year depnding what oter stuff is around at the time. Only so much time to play so many games...

This reminds me of Kingdoms of Amalur and Darksiders

My man's over here 100 percenting games I _just downloaded_ *in his spare time* - it's not even a priority for him! Early review access or no, just... _Christ,_ watching Mort f***ing destroy games every week on this channel makes me feel like I play games SO slowly, lol 😆😆😆

If I haven't played either of the new God of War games (and have access to a PS5) is there a reason to play this over either of them? Maybe it's not fair to the developers, but this specific genre is a little niche (to me) and not something I dip into often enough to eat up everything that gets released in it.

The gameplay does give me OG God of war/ Darksiders vibes.

How's the pc port

I adore AA jank. Sign me up!

So forspoken without the jank meets assassin's creed? Looks tight :o

good

That camera shake is horrendous is it possible to turn it off?

rare to see a western dev do an action game with actually decent combat this one was sorely needed now that ubisoft cancelled the sequel to the one decent game they cooked in the past decade the major complaints ive heard is that there is little story and characters and that the gameplay is the best part which only means one thing, this game is a banger

Your reviews are the best. Hands-down. Generally if you enjoy a game, I know I’ll enjoy it too.

Naisu

Mortismal has real life maxed stats and buffs to focus on making great 100% reviews.

Seeing this played on a KB&M wigs me out

hello Mortismal it looks really Fun

Well, this game def isnt gonna draw me away from a second BG3 playthrough.

If you don't like the english voices, try the german one. They used the german va of the clones in Star wars and Nicholas Cage.

Im diggong this game. Hidden gem after rough reviews. It's not amazing but solid fun. Its less endless and more fun with better story version of forespoken. Its a solid 7-8 so far

I'd like it if you could start adding your personal favorite moments of the games you review. While I do appreciate the 100%, I think more importantly is how a game touched you, if at all. You speed through games so fast it makes me wonder if you even pause and admire the settings of a game you're playing.

This looks very nice.

Dude, you should do a day in the life video, how you are able to play these many games even with the early access and still alive 😂

Tomorrow it's out already on xbox

That UI...looks like GoW ??

Looks a lot like Kindgom of Amalur

Update : Got it on sale 3 hours in and it's been pretty fun

So glad this game is good. I'm going to play it. Seems fun and reminds me of Darksiders

The "sailing" through sand looks satisfying. Isn't that something that sets Atlas Fallen apart from other games?

I worry about how well this game will do. Clearly, it was made with a lot of love and attention, but it is dropping in a literal minefield of bigger releases. BG3 moving it's release window up to avoid Starfield sandwitched this game between it and Armored Core 6. I hope it still manages to get some decent attention.

Again, you are the Goat, but my man how do you manage yourself to do BG3 + more + life?

I like janky AA games as long as they’re priced accordingly. People didn’t like Biomutant and I loved it.

Transmog / multiplayer ?

I know for me it's a wait for sale but it does look decent

Talking gauntlet? Sounds familiar......

I am enjoying the game, really fun and the story is not bad at all. I’m playing on normal and it Is getting hard. Definitely need to level up 😂😂😂.

> "This beautiful wasteland." Kinda funny.
