Abubakar Salim is so clearly an honest and quality person, I'm happy he could create this game to help process his grief. As I understand, it's a fairly straightforward metroidvania, but just his involvement earns a play at some point. It seems there's a lot to like despite the simplicity.

You can't really do anything with Africa as a setting even though it would be very interesting. The few times it's been tried people jump in and start calling developers racist or some shit. Japanese devs have often tried to use the setting and create interesting stories, alas, it's been called out racist too for some stupid reason. If you are going to limit the setting to only be tackled by African devs, not only is that truly racist, but you are simply stifling creativity and potential too. Simple as that.

People keep telling black people to make their own stories and to stop race-swapping characters. Now that they do make their own story, it's woke. People can't win lmao.
"SBI Detected" has nothing to do with black characters... If you think that you've been brainwashed... It has to do with the company. If the company is involved, no matter how the character looks, it's going to be informed, and it's up to the individual to make their decision. People saying that it's because of black people are intentionally missing the point, strawmanning and gaslighting people to believe it. It isn't. If it's involved with DEI companies or SBI specifically, it's going to be called out, even if the game is great. Make your own decision. Nobody is stopping you from buying it.

TBH this game doesn’t look bad graphic and gameplay wise, if it has a truly good writing regardless of the character’s identity (race, gender, sex, etc) AND, they strongly denied SBI involvement or declare they cut ties with SBI, I believe sales will catch up presuming the hype still high. The only thing dooming this game is SBI’s involvement and alleged DEI inclusion.
@@mxjame546 maybe they don't bother including DEI on smaller budget games? Anyway, the problem is they being connected to SBI and the main person of the developer team allegedly connected to organization/s that enforces DEI. It's enough to spark backlash. I'm for judging product by the product itself but even I'll second guess on buying games connected to them right away, lest I bought it and disappointed from political and DEI infusion into the said game.

@@npcimknot958 Too soon to tell because this is a very small portion of the game. But SBI is racist at their core, so there's gotta be something just by nature. No idea what it is. But I'm not going to assume SBI has turned over a new leaf :)

It looks fun and the story seems pretty good at first glance. But I'll probably wait until it's the next free game on EPIC. As far as the SBI involvement, it looks like that in a game with a setting and direction like this - on the surface - whatever "consulting" they might have done for it isn't really affecting things. It's an original story. It's got creators from a different background. As long as it's not driving some different flavor of the content that has become typical of the stuff that SBI is known for pushing, then eh, whatever.

This comment section is terrible. The game looks fine. Very good visuals, and actually good representation from people from actual African cultures. Plus it’s inexpensive and doesn’t have dlc or any live service issues. I’ll definitely consider giving it a shot.
Less than 300 peak concurrent players. Made by a member of an openly racist agency for a non existing target audience. And yet here we have Luke bending the knee and accepting dirty cash. Disappointed.
it's even funnier when that same racist group tries to virtue signal others. also the people defending SBI either doesn't know how this whole controversy started or simply choses to ignore it to suit their narrative. laughable!
Same dude who made all those videos shting on suicide squad btw. Dude has always been a clown. Ssktjl is still sht btw. But still, this is pure shillery
This is a game about African folklore and mythology. Why hasn’t Sweet Baby included trans and gay characters? Have they made the women ugly and the men weak? Nah, anything with sweet baby attached gets a no from me.
It looks a lot like prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. I love that one and I enjoyed the demo of Tales of Kenzera: Zau. So I am quite happy with it right now :D
Hm... doesn't look bad at all. But since SBI said that we should support representation, and I don't see Asian representation here, I'll just be following instructions.
What do you mean by “do this game”? SBI didn’t develop it, work on the art, write the story or the script. You need to use that brain you were born with and learn to think for yourself.

Man, all these folks immediately noting on Sweet Baby Incs involvement got me kinda concerned about the kind of community we're curating here. 😭 I've been excited about this game since I saw the trailer at the Game Awards. I dunno if anything is ever gonna compare to Hollow Knight for me, but I'm ecstatic to see a new face and game on the scene, even if it ends up being a pretty average experience by the end. We all gotta start somewhere.
For your mental health I hope you got excited because of gameplay and not a curated advertisement with only cinematic elements and no gameplay cause I haven’t seen anything about this game until this video and it looks meh not my kind of game.
@@bplusstudios9031they should stop being racist toward white people for one. But these corporations pushing diversity into everything for $$$ is just disgusting cause we know they don’t care it’s for investment capital.

This comment section is terrible. The game looks fine. Very good visuals, and actually good representation from people from actual African cultures. Plus it’s inexpensive and doesn’t have dlc or any live service issues. I’ll definitely consider giving it a shot.

Less than 300 peak concurrent players. Made by a member of an openly racist agency for a non existing target audience. And yet here we have Luke bending the knee and accepting dirty cash. Disappointed.
it's even funnier when that same racist group tries to virtue signal others. also the people defending SBI either doesn't know how this whole controversy started or simply choses to ignore it to suit their narrative. laughable!
Same dude who made all those videos shting on suicide squad btw. Dude has always been a clown. Ssktjl is still sht btw. But still, this is pure shillery
"So what are we, some kind of New-Generation Mainstream Access Media for Games?"
- Luke
This game is right next to stellar blade so nobody really cares about it 😂
Definitely not true
Sweetbaby is involved i dont care about this product.
SBI Detected.
This is a game about African folklore and mythology. Why hasn’t Sweet Baby included trans and gay characters? Have they made the women ugly and the men weak? Nah, anything with sweet baby attached gets a no from me.
It looks a lot like prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. I love that one and I enjoyed the demo of Tales of Kenzera: Zau. So I am quite happy with it right now :D
-10 respect for taking this sponsorship.
Hm... doesn't look bad at all.
But since SBI said that we should support representation, and I don't see Asian representation here, I'll just be following instructions.
Didn’t Sweet Baby Inc do this game too. And it’s sad because I really like my guy but can’t support that one. Dats tuff
Why not?
@@bplusstudios9031 he got told by a youtuber what to think, that's why.
@@aaxel_dz Pretty much sums it up.
What's wrong with DEI. I swear you people are so insufferable 🤡
What do you mean by “do this game”? SBI didn’t develop it, work on the art, write the story or the script. You need to use that brain you were born with and learn to think for yourself.
Sweet baby are involved
Womp Womp
Why don't you involve yourself in some employment little bro
edit: bro ends up calling himself a nazi later on in the thread
@@BoolyK 🤣🤣 soyboys triggered
@@bernarddee98 you're upset because I cooked you and all you have to fall back on are Internet buzzwords. I hear there's some burgers to flip with your name on em
@@BoolyK If thats what you call cooked theirs no hope at least you could of called me a right wing nazi 🤪🤪🤪He now thinks i called myself a Nazi 😂😂 I think i upset him because i got their before him
Legend of Vox Machina? First time I've heard about it. The cover art looks interesting. The game in the video looks good, but they might have gone too heavy on all the flash effects.
SBI, won't touch this garbage.
SBI? Nah. DEI detected.
Sweet baby stink
Ahh another sponsored vid
This looks fun. Like a less expensive prince of persia
But if you had respectable morals and standards you wouldn't support it. No matter how sad the story behind it.
@@charles281 what do you mean? What's wrong with that?
@@charles281Man keep your silly comments to yourself. This is a great game and let the people who want to play it enjoy it!
@@Solo_SessumsDont listen to these trolls. it's a great game!
@@layback76 yeah less than 300 concurrent players on steam, with the EA marketing giant behind them. If the numbers aren't enough to convince you that you're on the wrong side of the argument then I hope you're happy living in your cult.
Sweet baby Inc detected so pass
The STEAMCARTS numbers are laughable.
Hard pass it has SBI
I started playing this today. Its pretty cool. Genuinely dont get why the comments are hating on it
This is a Sweet Baby Inc. title. Vote with your wallets / cards folks and send the message.
Yea 16 seconds in sponsored by EA and the main guy doing this was in that trash Napoleon movie. Immmmm good ill look up another review.
Sweet Baby Inc DETECTED
Its a very simple and straight forward story. So much that I find it boring. I appicate the effort tho. Theres one game I always compare when it comes to themes of grief and loss and that s a game called Rime. Its absolutely stunning.
Sweet baby inc game ……hard pass …..and when we gonna get some you tube personalities who represent gamers
SWEET BABY INC DETECTED!!!!
Look at the state of young men in the internet. Pathetic
@@BoolyK he says simple 4 words and that makes you call the state of young men pathetic.... Yeah, that's what's pathetic here. Your also going to many of them feeling like you should comment. LUL you care to much about these 4 words. Play it if you want or don't. People aren't saying anything crazy.
@@senortapatio6216 He can be subbed to whoever he wants, it's what he's saying as a response to such a simple phrase informing people a corpos involvement that makes him pathetic.
@@F34RDSoldier805 ain't reading all that sweetie. He's obviously regurgitating buzzwords online.
@@senortapatio6216 The only people who use words like "prog." and "DEI" as derogatory buzzwords are literally nazis so why should anyone gaf what you think?
Sweet baby inc alert 🚨
Oh FFS why are my favourite content creators going down like flies lately?
Luke, this was NOT worth the money you got to do. I refuse to believe you just don't know this is SBI infested so you've made a conscious decision here to shill even with that context.
Crazy disappointing, just awful.
Man, all these folks immediately noting on Sweet Baby Incs involvement got me kinda concerned about the kind of community we're curating here. 😭
I've been excited about this game since I saw the trailer at the Game Awards. I dunno if anything is ever gonna compare to Hollow Knight for me, but I'm ecstatic to see a new face and game on the scene, even if it ends up being a pretty average experience by the end. We all gotta start somewhere.
Dude people are losing their god damned minds over that silly company.
@@bplusstudios9031 a silly company that controls the narrative of games is kinda concerning
For your mental health I hope you got excited because of gameplay and not a curated advertisement with only cinematic elements and no gameplay cause I haven’t seen anything about this game until this video and it looks meh not my kind of game.
@@bplusstudios9031they should stop being racist toward white people for one. But these corporations pushing diversity into everything for $$$ is just disgusting cause we know they don’t care it’s for investment capital.
just ignore those idiots.
The gameplay is not bad but the involmemt of the deeply hatred among gamer SBI gave people every reasons to not support this woke product
woke for including black people?
i dislike sweet , but not black

You gonna cry about it?
@@codzab084 the sweet babies sure are.
Who cares.
Just get the game if it looks good or skip it if it doesn't.
287 players at peak, great success 🤭
Well deserved i would say. Any involvement with ESG/DEI or woke consulting companies as SweetBabyStink needs to fail! Some companies already filed bankruptcy as a result and they all deserve it!
Just play Lost crown
Look kinda similar
HOW????????????
Nah I'll play this game. I thought you guys hated Ubisoft? Bs I see.
Also this game is way cheaper. We love to complain about price all the time right?
I’m not about to spend money on a Ubisoft game come on now
cmooon dude, nobody wants to play good game if its from ubisoft
I am actually enjoying this game so far
