  • Sand Land is a stylish ARPG that follows a Manga and Anime of the same name - and it couldn’t have been released at a better time. On the first of March, the passing of Akira Toriyama shook the nerd world and while Dragon Ball is what he is most known for, he also created the Sand Land series - and it's clear to see from the art style. But how does it play, and will we continue to play it? Find out in our impressions after about 12 hours.

      There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s up to the viewer to decide if the review is credible.
      Think about if it was the opposite. This guy says he doesn’t play Action RPGs, but then says he actually loved this game. I doubt you’d be here commenting what you did, because suddenly it fits *your* mindset around the game and so you wouldn’t argue against it.
      Edit: Also, just a side note, you shouldn’t decide whether a game is worth playing after a single review. If this guy hates the game but 10 other people enjoy it, it’s safe to say it’s probably a decent experience.

    It reminds of the Mad Max game that came out in 2015 (yes I know this is obviously taking heavy inspiration from Mad Max itself, I'm talking about the literal structure and flow) but worse. Like it has less to do and less deep gameplay and many already considered that Mad Max game pretty mid. (Not me though I'm a certified Mad Max 2015 truther)

    @mrshmuga9 Před 16 dny +5

    I tried the demo and had absolutely no clue what I was even supposed to do or the hook of the game. Ya beat up enemies, but to what end? Are there rewards? Does it get more interesting/complex? It didn’t explain anything or how progression works. The trailers already made it looked boring and the demo didn’t help. The fact reviews are echoing it’s boring just proves my initial impression/reaction. Sad that it was the newest IP from Toriyama to get a game, but that can be overlooked given everything else he created.

  • @CidSilvaAndrade

    I kindly suggest giving the game a try yourself rather than letting this video shape your opinion. It is judgmental and close-minded.
    Additionally, I recommend checking out better quality reviews for a more knowledgeable perspective.

  • @aultra-magawhostandsagains7974

    So let me get this straight,you want “GOW Ragnarok” which is a bunch of unskippable walking and talking segments?🤷‍♂️

    • @DaemonTnG
      @DaemonTnG Před 10 dny

      Ragnarok has great diverse combat, good amount of enemy variety, a really good challenge if played on higher difficulties and interesting dialogue between the characters when exploring. The two aren't even comparable. But in the vid he says he's not really wanting to compare it to bigger games like that he just wishes there was more depth to what there is.

    • @sakuragi1062
      @sakuragi1062 Před 10 dny

      Walking and talking segments in Ragnarok is just like 30 percent of the whole game but the game it has to offer from combat to rpg elements to boss fights to exploration and puzzle was not even comparable to this game
