speaking from experience, do NOT play this game for 6 hours in a row at midnight and beat the game at 6am only to sob yourself to sleep. great game i felt like everyone else was an npc for a week after finishing it 10/10 would recommend (im serious go play it)

Thanks for the video. What you postulate makes sense but I have a problem with the basic premise of oversaturation. In every genre, from every level of development, we consumers have to slog through a whole lot of garbage to find a gem, or even some fun. There are so many horrible RPGs to get to a Baldur's Gate. And we can't even count on a successful title's studio to follow with more winners. Witness Bethesda, to name one. So is it that cozy games are becoming a problem, or that the coverage of games in general, like so much other journalism these days, is not very reliable?

This is one of the only games I have actively replayed to get 100% which I think is a testament to how amazing this game is.

i love how this fandom is so small that i recognize a bunch of the people in this comment section

Everytime I stream getting over it telling myself “I’ll make it this time,” and each time (without fail) I am sent back to the start, shout a bad word, and switch to something easier like dark souls. Overall, a great game that I could never recommend to anyone I care about.

Huge spoiler warning but this is my 5th favourite game ever

yeah. act 5 is emotionally painful but it's also so good. i love in stars and time!

YEAAAA!!! ISAT IS SO GOOD!!!

Yaaasssttt😊

This game's ending had me in tears. So good.

Please please please play ISAT, people. Its SO good.

i am playing outer wilds currently but i havent finished it yet!

i love oneshot :3

playing this game rn after finishing disco elysium 😂

When I want to describe to someone how important it is that you feel frustrated with the repetition, it’s always the Memory of Sadnesses scene that I bring up. It’s vital that you’re as fed up as Siffrin is of dealing with the tutorial sadness for that scene to properly get the message across that the tedium of the loops are having a severe mental toll on Siffrin as well as you. Far and away my favorite scene in the entire game, as well as my favorite memory due to the implications of what kind of energy Siffrin must be giving off with that memory in the forefront of his mind to make the sadnesses run in terror.

Best part it’s being created by James Turner who previous worked on Pokémon

I love and hate cozy games. I have tried to get into story writing and took many creative writing classes. So tbh, I actually can’t turn my brain off when tearing apart the consistency or depth of a story in game. I don’t let this define whether someone is good or bad at writing, but it does define whether I enjoy a game or not. That said, an example would actually be Stardew. I enjoyed the game at its time and played many hours with friends, but it always bothered me that the grandfather was the reason you go to Stardew but then remains pretty non-existent within the dialogue residence of the town. My one and only gripe with the game but it wasn’t enough to stop playing. Overall, I tend to get a game for the cute and cozy factor, but if I feel the story isn’t strong enough, I expect to not play it for long. Which is a real bummer for me, but again, I know I personally have high standards when it comes to stories. It’s not necessarily a cozy game genre- idk, but a game I’ve been suggesting to people for a while now is “Wildermyth”. Especially to those who have always been curious of DnD but never had the time, group, or anything really to set up a traditional DnD session. “Wildermyth” feels like the easy go to for that DnD experience. At least, that’s how I describe it anyways 😅

The only game that ever made me question the reality of fictitious characters being unconscious, static creations. That's how strong this game's atmosphere and worldbuilding is! The meta writing helps the characters and the world feel that much more real.

ALGORITHM COMMENT!!!!!

I Disagree Because It Ain't Zeroranger

totally agree with your top 3 and most of the list👌

What a save!

I cannot express just how much I adore this game

I really don't understand why this channel doesn't have more attention yet. The indie game release summaries are great, every week there's some awesome game that makes my wishlist.

nice vid but tips: turn on auto gen chapters its gold

Ever since I watched a play through of this game, I’ve been feeling Dejavu far more

Nice list . Completely agree on sea of stars - game is sublime from start to finish

IN STARS AND TIME MENTION

I just finished it and it was so good

killer klowns is a great pull! im excited to play w/ my friends

I cannot remember the last time a game got me invested in its characters so quickly and so deeply, and so viciously used that against me

Go go gadget algorithm boost!

so many cool games coming out lately. thanks for the vid.

Great video mate, love to see these weekly updates! Great work, keep'em coming

Magdalene is not trying to sacrifice isaac to god. Thats just isaacs imagination. He often uses his imagination to escape all his worries, like his father always used to tell him, and this time he used a story from the bible. The fight with mom ❤ isnt really a fight. Thats just magdalene looking for her only son, she keeps calling his name, and reaching places to check if hes there. After you defeat mom, she screams "isaac", because she found her sons dead body in his toy chest. And thats how we have hush, blue baby, the lost and the forgotten.

Love this game! Thanks for your content ❤

TT screams Psychonauts 100%, and im here for it

Mom's feet is not mother, and there is a lot of different new bosses and paths you can go than this one

Im so addicted playing the Isaac game

I love it😂

Silksong??...

That’s NOT the Final Boss

great video! a bit of editing work needed but pretty solid. good job

I think Celeste is one overrated 2d plattformen. Boring story (not that there are many 2d with good story) and I think the "one screen plattformers" is missing continuety. You just feel that "it is OK to die, because I can just continue from the same screen".

It would be better if you added which platforms the games are available for

Great video. Well done! We love indie games!

Is it on pc yet ?

Hey! How can you say that? Not all AAA games being released are terrible.
