    As a Metroidvania enthusiast (seriously, I play a ton of them) - PoP: The Lost Crown is easily one of the best games in the genre - and it's not a short game. Lot's to do, lot's to revisit, difficult platforming, but overall rewarding and fun.

    I've never said this about a game aside from Splatoon 1 and partially Splatoon 2, but I kind of wish Hello Games would give us something to pay for. It's been years since NMS's botched launch, and ever since they've done nothing but constantly update and polish a game to a point where it's surpassed what they had promised. I want to support these devs because of this.

    So ..... Banishers isn't that good then? Like, way to massively undercut your positive review. If a melee-combat-focussed game has poor melee combat, that's a pretty major death knell.

    • @God23Based
      @God23Based Před 21 dnem +5

      What you said might hold true for some games but it's very possible Banishers is great in all the other aspects of the game outside of combat. I always thought something like Witcher 3 had boring ass combat but that game is still mostly a masterpiece.

      @morgantaylor84 Před 21 dnem +2

      The Witcher series proves you wrong if we're being honest. The number one critique about that series is, and has always been, the melee combat. It sucks compared to the rest of the game. And yet The Witcher series is one of the most successful and popular in all of gaming. Even with the only one who's melee combat is even close to "good" being the latest one, which at time of this video and comment is Witcher 3. Also the video didn't say that "the melee combat sucks", it said that it's the weakest part of the game, and it also said the melee combat isn't the main focus anyway. I don't where you got THAT idea from, it's like you were watching a completely different video from me lol

The most detrimental i would say it had the DEI stamp behind it (no idea how much it does or doesn't have but well if people have made up their minds you won't be switching it) so even the potential casual gamers that might of liked it were deterred away from it.

    Dragon's Dogma 2 from what I read is like DD 1.5 not even Dark Arisen (the better version) 1.5... because "Dark Arisen wasn't the creator's vision" so they just downgraded 2 because that suits his vision more. The story apparently is garbage. "It's just kinda there, after Act 1." So it's not for me. And I wouldn't put it in a "top 10 games you aren't playing" list. I'll wait for the Dark Arisen version or something.
