"or bribe enemies to leave you alone, I made that last one up" Not anymore

The irony that he predicted the Ferryman's secret of "bribing the enemy to not fight you" is Hilarious to me.

The thing I love about Gabriel is that he was holding back in gluttony. Apparently he has two swords called Splendor and Justice which his pride stopped him from using in the fight. And in the words of the Twitter itself “but now things have gotten a bit more… personal”

Just a quick note: Style system was changed with the introduction of Wrath and Heresy, so yeah, now you gotta earn it by using your WHOLE arsenal, and killing big groups of trash doesn't give you as much style as earlier.

Once Hakita introduces Spy Kids 4D smell tech into the game Lust’s climax will really capture the New York subway experience

"Ultrakill Act I: Infinite Hyperdeath" is the greatest set of words I have ever heard. No sentence or phrase will ever sound a sick as that.

YOU CAN *PARRY THE PUUUUNCH* One of my favorite lines of any review I’ve seen, maybe ever. Just conveys the pure joy and excitement the game makes you feel, and rata’s desire to share it with us all.

5:20 the moment you realise you can actually bribe the ferryman in act 2 for a free exit instead of fighting him

I like how minos prime refers to you as "a creature of steel",which,despite immediately trying to kill you, shows that he respects you infinitely more than Gabriel,and thus I like him more

You know a game is good when having almost all of its existing content spoiled still makes you want to play it.

At 41:55, I like how the Cerberus doesn't have his powerball in his hand, indicating that the wicked thing killed it as it needs to be alive in order to manifest one.

Hopefully Rata takes this video as a sign that he can do more than just yugioh stuff. It's his 6th most popular video in only 3 months, and yes "ultrakill hype" probably helped a bit but Rata's genuinely a great guy to watch, it'd be great to see other stuff he wants to talk about.

fun fact: the first time i picked up the railgun i was already holding right click for some reason, and the railgun zooms in mad hard when you right click. coincidentally, the demon that popped up in front of me jumpscared the shit out of me

I read this somewhere but I feel like it's worth mentioning: "P ranking every stage isn't a challenge... It's a warning."

This is a YU-GI-OH CHANNEL? With how high quality this video was, from start to finish, it feels like you've been doing video game videos for years! Fantastic stuff, man.

The moment you said "I can't believe this is the finale for the first THIRD of the game" gave me chills

I feel like your style of reviewing yugioh archetypes perfectly works with reviewing... anything else. I mostly watched your Archetype Archive for your personality anyway. Awesome that you're doing non-Yugioh content, look forward to seeing more.

The delivery of "YOU CAN PARRY THE PUNCH" was phenomenal. Love it.

Ultrakill is proof that sometimes a crazy gameplay idea SHOULD be developed and handed to an audience to play with

Who would have thought that a KZfaq channel dedicated to Yu-Gi-Oh would see such a dramatic increase in views after a video on Ultrakill. I discovered this channel thanks to Ultrakill, in fact. To be honest, your style of video lends itself very well to essays and playthrough analysis, just like this one. Nice comedic tone, perfect pacing and overall a really nice and entertaining analysis. Kudos to you!

The doors with the "P"s might reference the divine comedy again, as during Purgatory Dante has to have seven "P"s scrubbed from his forehead to represent the seven deadly sins of each stage of purgatory (As in italian "sin" is "peccato", hence the P)

You have no idea how much I love seeing you branch out to gaming related content, especially games you're absolutely passionate about.

In comparison to a recent maxor incorrect summary this video is very tame and understandable to a more "sane" audience. what a great job you did

16:40 you can use the two versions of the nailgun together. the alt still follows the magnetic pin. theres so much depth to the game, i didnt know all those coin tricks covered in the beginning

I really love that the P rankings are effectively both a reference to, and inverse of, Dante’s Pergitorio, where with each stage of the seven deadly sins that Dante passes, one of the seven P’s that had been carved into his forehead are removed which allows him to get closer to heaven, while in this game, you need as many P’s as possible to enter the true hell.

“Ayyo, ultrakill is a cool ga- WAIT RATA?” All for watching you branch out to new types of content, hoping to see more in the future!

5:21 "I made that up" The Ferryman boss in act 2: 👁👄👁

I thought the cancer rat was a hilarious thing before I knew it was a reference, and after I still do. The game basically pulls a triple plot twist. “Oooo a secret area, I hope I get an orb. Ahhhh, Scary rat!!! Oh lol it’s just a rat with cancer, I can kill it easily. Aaahhh, giant scary rat!!!”

From the man that caused the "Morbin' time" meme and got a hilarious second release of a movie nobody cared about: A game review in entertaining fashion about an ultraviolent retro shooter.

Hear me out, this is the perfect Cancer Mouse cameo. It's where he is: not expected, wanted, or tolerated for more 30 seconds, AND WITH GOOD REASON

“Or you can [use the coin to] just bribe your enemies to leave you alone! I made that last one up.” What’s funny is that this is actually a thing, if memory serves. You can toss a coin to the ferryman to skip his boss fight.

For anyone wondering. The enemies in this game ARE the health pickups.

Always nice to see other Yugitubers branching out into other content. I look forward to the inevitable launch of Rata Gaming.

I swear, the Ultrakill archetype pairs way to well with Arcana Force. The coin-manipulation combos make the Arcana Force archetype almost playable!

Rewatching this video is always good fun, good background noise and just overall entertaining. I hope you'll continue this 'series' with the other acts that have come out!

Real shame Rata never made more videos like this. This one video is way better than what most gaming channels put out.

Okay, first of all: You absolutely sold me on this game, it looks fucking amazing. Second, how the fuck is this review so good? I swear, you're made for content like that. Your humor and narration just are so well suited for reviews, and I really, really, REALLY hope there will be more in the future

i feel like this is one of the only ultrakill review videos that actually does the game justice in terms of showcasing the more in depth ways to play this game, i.e. slam storage, i-frames for overcharge, and shotgun swapping. phenomenal video. p.s. its nice to see another person that likes lain, touhou and yume nikki

Honestly man, I love your editing style and stuff, it's just a good blend of laid-back and everything else. I would totally watch your other videos, but I'm too dumb to understand because I'm not a 1000IQ Card game player or whatever. Also, this game encouraged me to buy Ultrakill, and I got it right on my birthday, which was a day before Act 2 dropped. Keep up the good work man 👍

I cannot unsee the exit door cat ears thanks to you ...

Wow. Rata was *not* joking about the secret level in the Greed chapter. Without getting into the specifics, it’s completely batshit, and I love it.

22:10 The bar of soap is probably a reference to DUSK, which has a similar prop you can throw at enemies for a one-hit kill.

the thing about Minos prime that makes him unique is that he refers to you as "creature of steel", he sees you as a sentient object capable of responsibility for your own actions, whereas Gabriel refers to you as an "object", and tells you to turn back instead of killing you straight up.

I don’t know why but this video is just so rewatchable. I find myself coming back to it over and over.

Finally, I can show my non-Yugioh friends one of my favorite KZfaqrs without them being completely lost with terms like "Xyz" and "Scrumblo."

Rata's editing and pacing remind me of Mandalore or Shammy, very entertaining stuff, not skipping a beat on describing the game, jokes landing left and right, I want a whole lot more of this And yes, comparing Rata to those 2 is very high praise

Now that ACT 2 is out, I can't wait to see this guy's take on it

The DMC comparisons get funnier when you realize that dmc is also based off the divine comedy, with dante being a stand in for the author, and vergil being a stand in for dante's guide in the book and dante's (the author) inspiration virgilio. The first book, dante's inferno is dante and virgilio going through the layers of hell.

How long until the Civvie11 mention goes full circle and someone is like "Hey, Civvie! You got a shoutout from the "It's morbin' time!" guy!" In all seriousness. this was great. If you're planning on doing more of these I'm all for you branching your channel out beyond YuGiOh stuff.

Doom 2016 Walked so Doom Eternal could run so Ultrakill could crush up an entire script of addies and phase-through the walls of my house while screaming at Mach5.

"or bribe the enemies to leave you alone" "i made that last one up" not anymore considering the ferryman

5:19 Little did he know the Ferryman would literally be bribe-able to leave you alone

the best part of UltraKill was when he said "IT"S ULTRAKILLIN' TIME" and ultrakilled all over those guys.

this video is extremely well put together, watched it all in one sitting. Keep up the good work

5:22 foreshadowing the ferryman’s easter egg

5:19 This aged like fine wine because of ferryman

Ultrakill was literally the first game I ever played on PC and it was an experience. I played it on regular difficulty and I've gone through the entire first and second act and killed Minos Prime after about 2 hours. This game has gotten me hooked and has gotten me used to PC controls in an instant. 2 "Something wicked this way comes" out of 2.

While your yugioh content will likely always be what I know you for, I genuinely loved this video. The passion in your voice and consistently funny/informative writing made it addicting to watch.

I am once again hoping for part 2 of this

5:19 you didn't, you just went to far ahead.

Love to see Rata finally branching out and doing more content that he is equally passionate about.

Hakita actually addressed this ["The layers of this palace"]...Gabe is talking about Hell as a whole. EDIT: Bribing enemies to leave you alone is now possible.

This is the 1st time I watched a basically 1 hour video *_without_* getting bored.

violence dropped before sequel that's insane

I've probably left 4 youtube comments in my life before this, but I really wanted to voice my support for you doing other kinds of content. This video was absolutely perfect, your enthusiasm for the game really shines and the editing is just spectacular. Really funny but informative at the same time. Amazing job with this one, eagerly looking forward to the next.

You deserve a lot more recognition The jokes are on-point, the commentary actually made me want to play the game, the gameplay is clean, everything is so enjoyable. Most importantly, a Blazblue reference?! Good work man, you got a sub from me.

5:18 there is now an enemy you can bribe rata does it again

This is still one of your best videos. It's so great to listen to a person gush about something they're passionate about. Please don't be afraid to make more of these!

Picked this game up a few days back due to the summer steam sale, and it has very quickly become one of my all-time favorites. What you mentioned about having a smaller pool of options, but making those options interact with one another in unique and interesting ways is one of the things I love most about this game. I'm also just an absolute sucker for anything with Parry mechanics, and this one goes so far that you're able to parry your own goddamn shotgun pellet and that just entirely replaces sex in my book. Also, I'm not sure if you know about this given that I didn't hear any mention of it in the video, but the alt fire of the nail gun actually does have an interaction with other weapons. If you stick the alt fire into the ground or a wall and shoot a bunch of nails to it, you can then swap to a hitscan weapon and shoot the embedded magnet, causing the nails to fly outward into enemies. Granted, my experiences with the tactic are that it's rather ineffective and unnecessarily setup based when you could probably achieve similar or better results with single weapons, but it is an option that exists as synergy between the nailgun and hitscan weapons

I really hope you don't get discouraged by the "where's my yugioh video" type comments you are going to get because I would love to see you make more videos of things that you are as passionate about as this game

21:35 knowing what the reference is now makes me feel like I was missing out before

Like every Rata video, I come back to watch this one every few months or so but this one always feels special because it is what introduced one of my favorite games of all times, thanks Rata. Hope you one day make the act 2 video

2:35 never thought i could see the day RATA spitting at dorkly. it is beautiful 33:33 Marcus Daimon / Masaru Daimon and Saitama would feel so proud 44:53 Baalbuddy reference? this video has everything 48:15 the rat in the low left corner turned the level from "ominously eerie" into "incredibly funny" 51:46 KAMEN RIDER REVICE FOOTAGE?!

I don't think I'm alone in wanting more reviews like this, this was a fun video to watch.

5:18 "or just bribe the enemies to leave you alone" Man's predicted the ferryman fight

You and Maxor are so good at these types of videos, I keep rewatching them and love each viewing. Keep up the great work!

Rata actually got me to check the game out. Though it's definitely a bit too hectic for my taste it definitely is a well-made game with lots of love put into it.

This is actually an entertaining way to do game review, MORE OF THIS PLEASE

“Flesh prison is a bullet hell” Druid (and owl): *WEAK*

This is probably the 10th time rewatching this video and it never fails to make me laugh I can't wait for the act 2 review

51:48 I was pleasantly surprised upon seeing Daiji ragequitting. And by that I mean I shrieked like a little kid

I love this. You sound so happy in this video instead of being sarcastic. I can tell you really like doing this and it warms my heart. After over 6 years I still love your videos rata.

5:20 "i made that last one up" hakita: but did you?

Bro i have watched this video LITERALLY 5 times. I absolutely love the way you made this video and the things you talked about. All i want for Christmas is part 2. Pretty please 🥺

its nice that rata is having fun with something.

I'm here for the Rata content, tbh i haven't played yu gi oh in years, i just enjoy Rata's humor and still watch him daily. Seeign him dwelling in new areas is a welcome change for me.

Just watched Max0r's video on Ultrakill, and I had to rewatch this gem to get the awful taste out of my mouth. His videos keep getting more and more chaotic, and it isn't funny anymore (at least, to me)

In my opinion, people shouldn’t compare DOOM Eternal and ULTRAKILL, nor should they hate one because they like the other. They’re video games. They’re built to be fun, to be challenging, to be interesting. Just pick the one you’re comfortable with, and enjoy the hell outa it.

I knew I liked rata's stuff but I kinda always assumed it was "the best yugioh stuff" but its nice to know that its not just that he is the best of a kinda weak crop but actually very enjoyable even out of that element, great watch

This review is honestly perfect, you summed up the first act well and got most of the "holy shit you can DO THIS??" moments down just right. I don't think I would've done it much differently, except I'm not too bothered by the youtube references because I didn't get them the first time around Also I'm starting to like the nailgun after experimenting a lot

46:06 V1's Bodypillow is like they're making a smug face with its Eye.

This is the 2nd FPS I’ve played(other is Call Of Duty Infinite warfare) and I couldn’t have picked a better one, even though I don’t like FPSs, but this game makes me wanna play more and more, chefs kiss.

27:09 it was a placeholder stock sound effect that was never replaced because it sounded funny

Let's go, my favorite ultrakill video is back!

Fun fact, Gabriel has a weakness against nails. Funny thing to wonder why.

Man, I really love your voice and humor. I hope you do more reviews like this! It was very entertaining to watch

This game was the perfect match for your unique blend of memes I've never seen anywhere else, ironic dad jokes, and zero emotion in your tone. What a glorious review.

Gotta take a second to appreciate the fact that the intro message for P1 Soul Survivor only shows up *after* killing flesh prison.

this is honestly one of my favorite video game reviews i’ve seen in a while

Hi Rata, just wanted to ask since layer 7 came out recently, are you gonna make a video on act II? I feel like it would be pretty cool, since your editing and narration style as used in this video are quite funny while teaching valuable information.
