Thor is truly a mad man. I've never been more hyped to watch multiple game reviews hidden inside a top 5 sonic video lol

I'm still super intrigued what happens when Thor discover Pathologic 1 and 2.

Thor's is one of the only Sonic Frontiers takes I am interested in hearing

The iced out Chao necklace is one of the drippiest things I’ve ever seen

Free Yuji Naka!!! Also glad to see Atama get some love.

Finally, more strand type games.

Your comparison of RE Village to Sonic Unleashed, and Frontiers being a strand-type game is the kinda things that got me subbed so long ago. And you brought back the So I've Been Playing format back too, so now I get to looksee some games I didnt see before. Heck yea :) Cheers Thor!

20:43 Every time Thor decides to spontaneously spit fire for a patron segment, my life extends by decades

I gotta say, I'm really thankful that I'm not the only person who saw Forces' writing as not that bad, honestly. I get so used to people trashing "THATS WHY ITS CALLED WAR" and like. yeah that line is weird, but it's just nice to see them act like characters instead of just walking gags.

SF really feels like a second try at Sonic 06, attempting the things that they couldn't quite pull off with hardware and engines at the time.

That free Yuji Naka tune was hardddd especially the damn son into Robotnik get a load of this. High art.

I fucking love how you don't just shit on games man. Gamer negativity is the most ridiculous thing. You find the good in all! Thank you u legend!

The first ‘Sonic Type’ game.

Atama sounds dope, I love my Siren and have been more than a little disappointed by how few games take inspiration from the Siren series with how many cool ideas it has that could be expanded upon.

Man, I got a bit suspicious when I saw the video length but I still got mindblown when the intro was over and the true purpose of the video was revealed Also the actual countdown bit was amazing, you're taking the piss outta tierlist content with such precision you could be a bladder surgeon!

review bombing is temporary, knuckles ice is forever

12:18 dripped out Amy is from Sonic the Comic, which was published in Europe. Not to be confused with Archie’s Sonic The Hedgehog, published in America and where Ian Flynn (the writer helping with the story of this game) got his start.

Interestingly, there's already quality-of-life mods to fix a lot of your little gripes with Frontiers. You can turn off the obnoxious MINIBOSS HAS SEEN YOU cutscenes, make the speed/ring levelling quicker, etc. You can also turn off the music muffling when boosting, so you can enjoy the cyberspace music properly. The community have stepped in to fine tune it nicely.

Damn, I watched your video on Stranger of Paradise literally while working on Atama so it is a little surreal to see it referenced in a video by you.

ngl i remembered only after i was completely convinced to pick up some of these games, that this was about sonic...

I can't believe you've actually convinced me to play this.

I think that the Way of the Samurai games really suffered from scaling up to larger and more complicated worlds. In the first game things were very compact, and it made it pretty easy (after a few playthroughs) to understand how different pieces interacted. You could probably get AN ending on a first run (as long as you didn't start on Hard and get wrecked immediately in the first fight.) The world and schedules were small enough to keep in your head. And that's exactly what the best ending required. To know the events of the game's days so well that you could show up, and intervene at every important decision. I could never really get the hang of the games after the first.

Damn, Cybershell need to get an iced up chao thing now.

This video has certified Balan of the soul, what an amazing one ! Plus that patreon segment was hella good. B)

28:43 camera shake says everything

These thor videos are always a treat. You come in expecting one thing and the guys delivers 20 different things alongside it. Plus you get that sweet uncanny presentation style

today I learned that baby hedgehogs are called hoglets.

In recent years it was good to see many of the beloved franchises to break out the rut and get back on track. Both in terms of fans' and newcomers' positive feedback and development cycle (i.e. no more misplaced priorities or development hell, for example). Like, Final Fantasy, Ace Combat, Resident Evil, Kojima games, Gran Turismo - all healthy now. Looks like Sonic has now joined the rehabilitated crowd. Death Stranding is a source of inspiration I certainly approve of. Silent Hill might deliver too (if not with 2, then perhaps with f). Maybe Front Mission will walk tall again too one day. There is hope. Great material as always. Peace ☮️

I needed this, thank you Thor. Free Yuji Naka GOATed track

For real, when I heard the "Find the Flame" and "Undefeatable" I genuinely thought I had to take out Guilty Gear Strive as the game with the best OST for AMVs possible, but GGS has too many good songs for that so Sonic Frontiers will take honorable place for me.

The music you used for the title cards of each of the 5 reasons is beautiful I just don't get what it is about your editing style that just... It's so unique and like.. Nostalgic? Ahh, I just love your videos so much. :)

20:48 I want more Thor jams. I still bump the Bitch I'm Compressed song from the GBA vid.

Acquire made the first two Tenchu and the last one, with games in between developed by K2 and when that happened Acquire then created similar series called Shinobido. Tenchu changed ownership and publisher many times with From Soft being the last and current owner. It's kinda confusing history.

Lmao, I thought Thor was just being silly, but Yuji Naka actually got arrested like a week or two ago! Weird

As the unironic Sonic Forces enjoyer, I honestly felt validated because yeah, Frontiers defo makes Forces feel like the "rough transition" to it, in a good way. The things I like about Forces either make a comeback or properly fleshed out so yeah

i demand more details on the dripped chao

You have golden chao bling..... I am envious with rage and joy.

Apparently the soundtrack has stuff like Armenian folk samples in it, which is really bizarre and creative and also cool. Almost makes me wanna get the CD soundtrack.

Loved your pronunciation of Jogos (it's brazilian portuguese btw). If I'm not mistaken I might have that CD. I have 22 of those. They were sold on those (trashy) game magazines.

you are the only reviewer I trust

21:24 those samples go so hard

This is the deep dive I never knew I needed!

Let's appreciate how if you're not baked you probably won't have a clue what this demented legend is saying

Thank you, o king of video essays, for this gift of golden content

Man, I don't know if I agree with EVERYTHING in this video But he DOES have that iced out Chao necklace, so his opinion is objectively correct

21:04 wtf why is this flow switch so fkin hard lmaooo 🔥🔥

After listening to person after person be overly critical on this and many other games, its nice to know Thor has my back in enjoying flawed but fun games.

From the first trailer i knew thorbo would love this game

Your vids just keep gettin better man

Sonic Frontiers is FRESH! And SO IS THIS CHANNEL! Ayo! Your editing is so CLEAN yet RAW! Subba-dub-dub!

finally someone realized the death stranding inspo

“De-Sus my sack” - ThorHighHeels, 2022

This game was the most polarizing me and my friend had when we were discussing it like at 1st we were excited for it and then we weren't and then we were again and then we go back to not being excited for it when the game officially came out but then my friend bought it and realized it's not that awful. Like yeah it has jank, it definitely does and you can feel it especially in the level design but the fact that they gave sonic a more realized open world to run around and it actually works super well for him, the combat is actually fun and the music I don't think I need to mention any more about the music it speaks for itself. Plus since it's just sonic Tails knuckles and Amy in terms of the main character cast, they actually get better flushed out and the main villain is actually pretty good. H*** the fact that they brought big the cat back and give him one of the best fishing Mini games of this generation with the most dope fishing theme I've ever heard.... I am literally considering buying this lol.

i only made it through the opening thirty seconds so far bc i had to stop rn and comment on how said thirty seconds made everything inside of me scream with joy so tysm for that, real nice edit, very pogchamp edit: seriously like chicken noodle asmr for my adhd soul

The Injury Reserve bar at 6:00 is why I remain subscribed, great video as always

you said it's like DStranding and I was like man no way but you have a point.

I love the Trojan Horse format youve adopted for your videos

You are always so refreshing and inspiring! Thanks for being you and sharing that being!

I've been binge watching all the videos (of your channel) that I could today, I was even searching one to put while washing the dishes rn Thanks for that timing, lol

That sonic track goes hard son

5:58 Injury Reserve reference spotted 🤝

Haw, I loved your use of Outrun music immediately after showcasing a game that made me slavishly remember and appreciate my memories of that game while tantalizingly not actually mentioning it.

holy fuck i want that chao necklace

That SIBP intro after the snonc really bamboozled me. Good one my guy :)

I swear you're the only person that brings up that Tenchu isn't made from FromSoft, it frustrates me to no end watching someone talk about Tenchu as if it was a building block for Soles games

Neer knew Way of the Samurai got its successor, and im glad you talked about this game! Its so beautifully weird and strangely fun, the music awoke some memories again :D

My friend: i started game collecting. Me dressed like as Frog from Colors: get of the porch ,homes

play spark the electric jester 3, its like sonic adventure but with dmc combat and its awesome

Having played ~10hrs of Kamiwaza I can safely say that if some elements of it got polished up it'd be one of my favourites ever. The mask/wanted system, village reputation system and balance between saving money/donating to the guild/donating to the village/buying medicine are really great starting points for could be a great emergent gameplay/choices

Free Nelson Mandela walked so Free Yuji Naka could tear this shit up

at 16:47 "I've been tricked, fooled, and quite possibly bamboozled."

Came for sonic. Stayed for your calming voice

oh wow, based on the title of this one, i definitely need to get it. i been interested in it, glad to see it gets your approval, THH

Wonderful video as always. It can never go unsaid how important it is for games like these to get shared and discussed

Love the injury reserve reference at 6:01

Cover Producer 2021. Your soundtrack is badass, and the game looks interesting. Edit: Oop. There it is.

You’re a real one, monsieur high heels.

the resupurae shout out explains everything

Can't thank you enough for the Slow Roads rec! I've needed something like this for years :) Excellent video, love your shit dude

I never thought that such sound fonts and photorealistic landscapes wou jell with the Sonic brand, but they do. It's not dissonant at all. And if there's one word that defines the essence of Thor, it's freaking "vibe". Everything you do and say in your videos is a vibe!

The reveal of Atama's enemies acrually made me shriek. NOPE

Sega deserves an award for making pop in a game mechanic. The amount of times I an obstacle pops in my face and i take the detour is funny and actually neat.

My most favoritest KZfaq channel.

Wait there's a Sonic Adventure 2 Mod with Mario? I know I should have saw this coming but, I didn't know this existed.

Dude, so good. Glad you enjoyed the game. I'm really liking it too and share 99% of your opinions.

Yooo that plot twist of the video turning into something else. Very nice.

Real talk where did you get the necklace

shout out obama

THOR THOR THOR THOR THOR!!! RUNNING AT THE SPEED OF SOUND, THORIUM!!!

As soon as the footwork hit I knew this game was big ballin

I love you. Btw, Sin and Punishment on the switch N64? Edge lord material fo sho

this game really makes you feel like a ps3

Not sure if it's the best but it is fantastic, deserves a sequel. Outside of maybe Mania best Sonic game in over 10 years.

Bro really said free Yuji that was hard.

New Thor video life is so good

It doesn't matter what the topic is, whether I am ambivalent toward, uninterested, or outright disagree with the points being made, I will always watch your videos because that voice is saucy and these scripts are consistently engaging. A never ending slew of new slang and turns of phrase that always feel fresh. You are never not entertaining while also feeling chill and possessing a hang out-itude that only Tim rogers comes close to.

Fun fact: you've got the same shit twice in a fishing minigame, and it's actually on a video. When you caught a pufferfish, Big fistbumped and the sound was more muffled, those are indications that you've already caught this before. Though the point still stands - fishing's fucking great, and you definitely never get the same shit two times in a row.

Thor I love you, and this review is awesome as usual. BUT WTF HAPPENED TO THE TEKKEN RETROSPECTIVE?! I tried to look it up to watch it again and its gone 😢 Keep up the awesome work tho you handsome bastard. Mwah 💋💋

I really dig how much you cover in the span of one video .
