The fact the tutorial said "get mana from chests" and splat either forgot or didn't read properly and then don't open any chests are classic splat.

30:40 "Yeah, it looks like I get health back when I hit enemies or something...I dunno" After the game already told him that. Classic Splatt

Love Splat, sometimes I wonder if he can only see 50% of the screen though. Lolol. Like he asks questions about things the game literally told him about how they work and then is like, “how does this work???” Still gives the best content!!

I would say more games use space for jump than for dodge. Tons of games use CTRL, SHIFT, ALT or double direction press to dodge. Games that use space for dodge generally dont have a jump at all.

I'm kind of amazed at how fluid movement and combat looks. I feel like it's a super mobile, fast paced and fun experience. The aesthetics are also really fitting. Nice.

This combat looks smooth and satisfying. Definitely on my radar after seeing this.

This looks like a lot of fun. NGL, the ability to transform into a raven to fly around sent it over the top for me.

You went from a Surge reference straight into a Troy reference. Well done.

The graphics are giving me huge dragon dogma vibes, in a good way

I like that they slide instead of rolling, looks much cooler

"I don't know what that says about me--we have empowering fragments." Pretty much sums it up, Splat.

I am REALLY glad you mentioned the email registration at the beginning. I just added this to my wishlist the other day because it looked interesting but yes, that is a deal-breaker for me. Appreciate the heads-up, Splatt.

this looks pretty good, the flying and transition are neat, the gfx look nice enuff without being too shiny and fake, this is my kind of action rpg where u can pretty much run around wherever u want just a shame its only on pc by the looks of it, cheers for the vid tho it was well worth watching

You are my new favorite youtuber as soon as you said Giants Tickets lmao

This is the first video i see from you, and i really like the goofy funny way you talk about the game and things that happen, like "You dudes want to make with the battles", like that's good. Keep up the good videos and the way you talk while playing, you got a subscriber and i tick the bell for all you notices.

“If only there were a way to see fragments after they fell” Yeah, like maybe some sort of raven vision maybe? 😂

Honestly dipped the moment it was said you have to give them your email to play. so tired of companies desperately grabbing at as much personal info as they can get. As he said, "Im already signed into steam"

Splats inability to follow instructions is that of legend.

Holy shit how are those animation so nice and solid. this looks so fun just from the animations.

So, historically interrested nordic country dweller here: "Utlagi" is simply old norse for "Outlaw". Which just goes to show that old Norse had a bigger influence on modern english than most people nowadays would think. The Normandy region of France is named such since that's one of the places outside the nordic lands that the Nordmandi (Northmen) settled.

I was intrigued by the game, but I wasn't going to create an account with them just to play a demo. I'm glad you played it, so I don't have to.

In every 3D game I ever played, space is jump.

I didn't try this because it wanted me to make account. Thanks for trying it for us!

Splat: *Looking For Mana cards* Also Splat: *Ignores all the chests in the camps he's cleared which have a chance to contain mana cards*

Surge.. finally someone else who knew of its majestic wonder

you're killing me today with these jokes

Great shirt "ooo viking ghost...neat!"

Never thought I would hear a Black Flag reference in your videos.. nice

Did look at that, but creating an account with the developer just to play the demo is a hard no. But great video, as usual.

That first grievance is quite grievous. Having to "Sign In" like an MMO, for a single player game? Is this also always online too? :/ And there's a demo timer once you get into the world. Looking at Systemic Reaction™'s past projects, their latest project Second Extinction is apparently a data parasite according to the first negative Steam review I came across. I'm assuming this game does the same (that's why you have to sign in I'm guessing and the always-online requirement?) With those negative gripes aside, the art design is striking, the gameplay borrows a lot from games (AC: Valhalla, Dark Souls, Rogue-card-likes) and seems to put it together well, I hope character customization is in the full release.

Thanks for showcasing! ^^

Ooo getting beloved Amalur vibes from my XB 360 days. My wishlist runneth over!

Looks good, hopefully works well on the Steam Deck.

Low stance movement 10/10 I would have legs shaking in 3 seconds

Great video as always.

Looks cool. Thanks for sharing, brah!!!!

thanks for covering this, might buy it if they get rid of the need to sign in to an extra account. looks good, but not worth getting more spam for.

The general on foot movement and combat reminds me of Dragon's Dogma, which is a VERY GOOD THING. Too many games make you go slow as molasses and don't realize how it can hurt the overall momentum

This looks pretty good, not a fan of a forced sign up though.

This video is the equivalent of the president in the Simpsons saying, "I was elected to lead, not to read." Hope Splat never changes! lol

The game told you to get Mana from chests Splat. Classic Splat for sure LOL

I love this guys commentary lmfao

"I'm here to smash!" - Quote: Splat, 2023 🤣🤣

Embrace the Raven!! Good looking game, very dragons dogma, hopefully it gets fleshed out well.

At first I thought I would find the sliding dodge silly, but it's not implemented half bad.

Me showing up at the island of a thousand fallen " make that a thousand and one " lol

"Alright so the ankles... have been broken" I fucking died 😂😂😂

Surge was indeed the best carbonated beverage! Most humans, sadly, can not easily come to grips with pop perfection. It was good warm, but with ice or otherwise very cold; it was transcendental.

Fasttravel by flying as a bird is genius

I was looking forward to buy this game but hearing that you need to make an account to play this game i'm like nah brah i am good. Going to spend my money somewhere else.

Archeologists in the distant future will never find an intact pot thanks to video games. We've been trained too well to break everything!

Sometimes I feel like I'm watching Jake Peralta play games; I love it. :D

the heroes cannot swim bit... dude, you cannot be that funny - I choked on my breakfast. 😂

This look like hardcore zelda. Legend of Link

The problem with Avalanche is they hide tons of content behind the micro transaction paywall.

Reliquary: unlocked slot for an additional relic.

This looks like a really good Skyrim mod list. And I don't mean that negatively

Second View, Keep up the great work. I try to watch ever video you put out. Saves me from testing them. And just try out the ones I like.

Oh man, was almost screaming at you Splat to open chests 😂😂😂

Not all them drop fragments it tells u that in the tutorial . It's a tier system and ones of certain tiers have them

I really love the detail, that the equipment changes visualy with every upgrade! 😮

That's a breaker for me. Will still watch the vid though.

Does anyone Remember the game Severance - Blade of Darkness. This game made me think of it a little bit. The combat on Blade of Darkness was amazing and ahead of its time in my oppinion. If they could do that again with updated graphics and physics.. I think it would be amazing.

I've had this game on "ignored" for awhile now - apparently for good reason.

Additional mandatory account with always online required for an EXCLUSIVELY single player game was a deal breaker for me.

Splatt still the master of comedy commentary!

"Consume their bodies for more Magic the Gathering" 😂😂

And the Apex engine makes Generation Zero look and feel so great too! Same engine as Call of the Wild.

You could have also used the foresight to draw one of the mana cards I believe.

Seems like when you get hit, you have the opportunity to win the chunk of health back by hitting enemies, and not doing so makes that part drain away properly over a short time.

I downloaded this game and then uninstalled when it required I create an account for some company I've never heard of. It was also like 60gb.

looks like a fun game for a weekend

When you were praising Gen Zeros gunplay sounds it sounded like the Devs were in your room holding you at gun point 😂

The jumpy bois reminded me of the Witcher 3 and one of the goblin looking enemys

The timeline watch on this is extremely weird. It's perfectly flat except at one moment with a perfect dip on either side of the "most replayed" crest. It's like, strangely perfect. I know Splat has real viewers but this is like clearly some weird kind of bot behavior type thing.

The fact you didn’t read about the reliquary before buying really makes me laugh he searched and searched and it was right under his nose

Video dropped an hour ago. 51 minutes long. 12k views...what? Splat, you are my hero.

Played a bit the other day it was pretty fun , definitely interested in playing more, sucks the demo is like timed thing u get like a hour or so

+1 for Black Flag reference :)

Reading from the text box that was literally visible at the time you said "I don't know what a Reliquary does" - "the power of the relics .. could be enhanced tenfold through proper use. Buy a reliquary, place whatever you wish inside, and see the same power return." Seriously Splatty, your powers of observation (or lack of) are legendary.

Hmm several interesting Wörds in this game. Lessgå!

Are there any of those raven tower things around, GIANT ASS EMBLEM ON THE SCREEN SHOWING TOWER but splat misses it. Classic Splat awareness.

Some things remind me of the closed Bless Unleashed and that's a good thing for me!

"Wandering off the beaten path may be hurting my efficiency as an adventurer..."...but....like...isn't that literally the entire point of being an adventurer, to wander off the beaten path and have, you know, ADVENTURES? D:

It’s strange to me you have this massive shield but you have to dodge

i agree with raven whenever u want outside of combat

Rogue like is like George Carlin's gourmet. I can give you 2 of the same pretzels but the one in your left hand is gourmet. Maybe they can start making gourmet games. Or even gourmet rogue like games.

The hurricane like rain could be toned down a little.

Spacebar is usually jump, and ctrl or alt is dodge.

Strong Dragons Dogma vibes from the tutorial.

Splatt, I appreciate you bringing up the account registration requirement and always online but. That's a hard no for me. Great video as always, though!

Looks lika a fun game !

Avalanche studios did a great Mad Max game and they did work with ID on Rage 2.

43:40 This was hilarious. The ice skating Warden and the giant sword. Way too much.

Timed demos suck, especially if there's no way to extend that time. Required login for a single-player game is a hard sell too. On the bright side, it *is* gorgeous, and the character designs so far look great, combat looks good if a little bit like you and the boss are cutting each other up in the middle of an ice rink. I'm intrigued, but those two stumbles are pretty big ones.

I read "openworld sandbox" and I walk away 😂

Yeah... those blue boxes you keep skipping - those are your mana ;p

Keybind was my major gripe with the game as well. I rebound it to Space=dodge, alt=jump, shift=sprint. C to block still feel wrong but... eh, the demo was just 1h long so, I used dodge most of the time anyway. I personally didn't really like the infinite spamming dodge. Block has a sort of "HP" but dodge is just an infinite amount. I'm not a fanatic of souls-like games but there should be some limitation, like X number of dodges that slowly recharge or something like that.

did you see that void scrappers is on sale this week??

I downloaded this last night but my computer is so low-spec'd at this point I couldn't even get it to run. Need to upgrade.
