Hi, Kvark developer here, thanks so much for this fantastic review. I am really happy you liked our game and also brought up some really good criticisms. We will add the double barrel firing mechanic asap :D

It's a great game and as a Czech, it makes me happy to see so many good indie games come from us. As a fun fact the word "robot" is originally from Czechoslovakia (before the split in the 90s), and comes from a play from a famous Czech writer.

Kvark and HROT should be made available in a bundle.

"Kvark" is just czech spelling of Quark, so it's supposed to be pronounced the same way as quark in english.

I played this game 2 weeks ago, and well a for someone from Czech Republic this game is awesome. I nickname it Czech Half Life i mostly agree with review. Its kinda funny to see cutscenes in czech language that looks and feels from 80s, even the voice feels like that. And yes if you wanna ask the enemies and even drones speak czech. I hope the episode 3 will come out soon

Cool glad you covered another Half like. Thanks bud for telling me about it

You've definitely given me more of an appreciation for half-likes Hoping you end up looking at Abiotic Factor -- easily one of my favorite Half-Life inspired games (can't tell if I'd call it a Half-Like).

Man, that intro is so nostalgic.. in my country we used to get so many animation shorts and shows from eastern/central europe. And they all had this exact vibe and feeling. Amazing!

I was wondering when you'd get to Kvark. I thought a new episode dropped but apparently not, and Adaca had the new episode (well that dropped in December I think, I'm catching up lol) and now I had to reinstall that one also. I love the fact that you push Half-Alikes and boomer shooters. Some of the other channels I love (shout out to Zlimbratski baby! sorry) normally only cover boomer shooters, or a specific type of genre, and you like to cover everything from Half-Life style games to boomer shooters to analyzing games from all sorts of genres. :)

One way to fix the pump action and double barrel is to put them into 2 different shotgun roles. One works as a jack of all trades while the other is more specialized.

The only complaint I have with it visually would be that, for the amount of blood spilling occurring (which is absolutely fine with me... I love that), I genuinely believe it would make more sense to have more smaller decals spawn on the floor from that (same with the gibbed parts going splat on the floor). Of course, it's more of a nitpick since I do understand if it might tank the performance. But, if it's a viable improvement, I hope the devs could make it work. I prefer it when the blood effects in games are consistent with the spilling. Maybe I'm just sick in the head, but I don't mind. I've been called worse. Hahahahaha.

I’ll have to play this, I prefer Half Life 1 over half life 2 as well

Holy shit, Kvark looks fucking dope! Not the same thing, but your video on Graven led me to buy one of my favorite games of all time: Blood West. Now, I am once again inspired and I might buy Kvark... depending on how much Project Zomboid sets me back

Damn, Czechia caught up to 90s america. Especialy the half life 3d soundscapes etc. look it up if you are interested in 90s sound engineering.

12:16 nice DS2 boss reference

That hazmat guy's animation when you blow his head off and he puts his hands like he's trying to feel if it's still there :D :D :D Never mind the review, gonna buy this game just for that

Last time I came this early, a game had no FOV slider.

Definitely gonna try this, I love half life 1 much more than 2 imo

Ive never played half-life before, but boy does it look fun, and a lot of these “half-like” games look fun as well!

I'm surprised now we have 3d jarrick

Without you I would've never cought on to this game. I love Half Life.

15:46 so it's Wolfenstein 3d- you camp doors or backup through corridors

oh I thought the full game was released 😭still waiting for the 1.0 to play this

1:24 _Oh..._ 1:52 So On a Rail but Good?

I can really rely on Jarek to keep me informed on all the Half-Likes that fly under my radar. This is an Unreal 5 game? Really impressed to know it’s properly optimized.

I hope this game comes to consoles.

I like the Virtua Fighter-esque character models way too much

Are you going to review g-string someday? I think its an amazing half like

So Jarek played a post soviet half flife game in a post soviet bunker while living in a post soviet timeline

Half Like Interesting title

Not specifically on the shooter side of things, but honestly to speak of Half-Likes, I think the Penumbra series should be worth checking for ones before this ever became a thing. Made by the same ones who did Amnesia. It's more lenient on horror (less on the combat esp), but it does take a few cues in the way it paces itself to the exploration at your own pace vibe to it. And to speak of that, Amnesia: The Bunker should be worth checking out as well for that matter.

Are you going to be going ham on Rivals 2? I would watch a VODs/Highlight channel for that!!

You going to review the new Episode 3 of Doom 3 Phobos? Just came out like a week ago.

Hey Jarek, I have been your follower for a few years now and since you're mostly into shooters like I am; I would like to introduce you to a fun side scrolling shooter named TAGAP. A total of 4 games have been released so far. But I've never seen anyone cover a single game and I would really love it if you just take a look. The first game is a little hard but all the others are Ok. Start from the second and decide if you'd want to play the first. All games are FREE.

An excavator is the first boss in Nier Automata, called Marx

jarek is a scaley in vrc confirmed 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

Kinda reminds me of zortch, great video.

Is the excavator boss a nier automata reference???

Hrot-Life

Hi, can you please make a review about Beyond Enemy Lines Remastered Edition? It is from the devs of Strike Force 3

Jarek you should try longform content.

the dragon has to be 9 feet tall

Its Czechia

So you like Half likes? How about Vertigo 2. This is a VR Half like you might like.

im really attracted to your avatar

Now go play HROT, would you kindly?

b

Bloody hell why does it take 4 minutes into the video to actually NAME the game, why is it not in the description. And even then you don't name it, the cutscene does it for you.
