Mate you are god 🤣🤣 I am in 20 hours haven't defeat the first boss but I am having a blast I love this game it's insane buy it guys it's hard but it's very different and it's just a joy to play haven't played a game like this in ages highly recommend
Bro how the hell did it take you 20 hours to beat the first boss… I’m his type of game isn’t even my style and it only took me about 3 to clear the first biome and get the hang of the game
@@michaelcallahan6591i finished the game in 20hr but at the same time i think it has a lot do with luck. I don’t think these players are just “bad” i think they are unlucky with drops and what not.
People are hating but I LOVEE this game. The combat is so fast and enjoyable. The boss fights are insane (2, and 4 are my favorite) I haven’t played much of matterfall but housemarque always delivers fun games but they leveled up on this title.
@@epyon7773 It took me ages to get those bas-stad keys. One of my lowest points while playing the game was getting two of them and dying when I had one last enemy to kill to get the third and getting killed - I only had to hit them a couple more times {:o|
@@Dreamskaype it was hard for me because I tried to jump straight to it every time. Apparently you’re supposed to do a near full echoing ruins run before you do biome 5 and 6. And once I did that I blew through the game pretty fast.
@@epyon7773 Good on ya. After days of gameplay, I finally finished the game last night. I didn't think I would. I was in the last Biome just exploring until I realised I could meet the boss. When I did, I was surprised by how easy it seemed to be. I'd say it was the easiest one.
Hyperion is my favourite - the boss giving you such a frenetic over the top fight, playing the organ at the same time. Insane game, and such heartbraking story, I cried several times during gameplay. Will definitely remember this one forever.
Hated this game at first now I love it best I have played in many years , just beat the 2nd boss on my first try and you can’t beat the feeling of accomplishment when u progress in it
I thought this was the hardest game to be released in a long while but y'all speedrunners are ruthless. The devs will never sleep thanks to y'all and I love it❤🤗. The war between devs and speedrunners will never end😂. Both sides keep bringing the smoke.
Great playing! I just came to see biome 3 to get some inspiration and tips because i am completely stuck there but still having a lot of fun the game play and combat is super addictive.
If you’re really having trouble. Do a half run through the jungle before you teleport. Gain efficiency, health and money buy a thing or two and then teleport to your biome. I had to do that for the mountain. Had a good run and that one fortified run got me all the way to biome 5.artifacts and weapons can make or break for me. I usually try to buy the Astronaut, a health consumable and the integrity 25% or regen. Also if you come across the parasite that gives you critical regen at the cost of damage from long falls get it. It saved my ass in the boss for that area. (Tip just dash before you hit ground and there’s no long fall damage) 😃😉 good luck
@@epyon7773 thanks for the tips. i have adapt my playstyle now using more melee. there is for melee this upgrade that will shoot two lasers to nearest enemies every hit wich is very powerfull. Also i have the running on and trying to be agressive and on the move all the time. got to the nemesis third phase, i will beat this game.
@@tomisalonen8029 you will you’re getting there man little over half way. I didn’t know that about the melee artifact I never seen that I’ll try it. The ice ruins or whatever usually have a lot of melee upgrades. Games not easy, love it though
I've been stuck on biome 2 for a few days now and i never thought of just running past everything to go straight to the boss, lol. I'm going to try that later today now! Great video!
Only if combined with a shield, or the artifact that allows you to take an additional hit before losing Adrenaline levels. Otherwise, one hit means zero adrenaline = no leech. hurts during boss fights.
Now this is a proper speed run! I haven’t been enjoying the sub 5 minute runs with just last the last boss. This was such a pleasure to watch. 2 points: 1) that damage at 1:08:46 is such BS! 2) Also used electropylon driver for biomes 4-6. I doubt I would’ve finished this game without that gun and its traits. Well done!
good playstyle...i was wondering how you got through 3rd biome but now I know....just leg it through the area past most enemies...honestly it's a nightmare and Im' leaving it a while but it's a good approach because it's too much with the drones.
dude I beasted through the drones with the rotlobber but maybe I should of switched to the pistol for the boss because I've lost to him twice and it's been so long between those runs
I am curious at certain parts 1:13:20 you shot the enemies then ran but they were still alive and you needed to kill 10 enemies to remove the malfunction and it was at 8 then 9 and 10 as you were running away? They were at full health. Are you modding? There was a lot of questionable things like the consumable health packs appearing and I didn't see you get them.
I don't know why it never occurred to me to just skip past general enemies. Then again, I haven't even gotten to the second boss yet, 'cause I'm terrible.
You have amazing skill. Watching this speed run, I'm feeling like this game actually disincentives staying and fighting mobs. Like, if one gets to the next biome, and their Proficiency gets bumped up 5 levels, then why grind? Kind of heartbreaking, in a way.
this. its a lot of deciding trades offs and what fits your playstyle and ultimately you soon realise its just as much about having the nerve and skill to dodge attack patterns etc i dont bother to grind myself...
Some of the grinding can't be skipped. Like weapon upgrade progression and loot. If your skill is ovet the roof like this dude's is you can skip that, if not you gotta hustle!
I'm not new to souls games but I'm new to rogue lights and man am I struggling in this game. Nice run and this encouraged me to go back and play this on my new oled
It is, actually. This game is pretty damn hard, and punishes you like the game wants you to die of rage. I spent 2 hours on a run and my game crashed sending me right back to the beginning :)
@@moody9847 no actually I tried to do a couple runs last night I’m on 5th biome getting the three keys. I got two last night and got murdered by the aliens in the third room.. I had a ton of health too overal really good run. Was frustrating but this the first time I’ve been “stuck” this part has been difficult but I’ll get it. Then it’s just the water biome left
I went deathless fresh start. 1st completion was 3.5hrs, my 2nd which was last night was 2hrs 53 mins. Aiming to get it down to 2 hrs. No revives via equipment or items. Great vid, very motivational. You should try a true deathless speedrun
@@AJBRUN Thanks for the tip man I was able to do it today in 1hr 9 minutes I'll probably post it tomorrow. Your video helped me a lot especially the 3rd boss because I usually use the Hollowslayer and that gun is absolute garbage against him
Tbh there is a lot of small changes you could make like on the giant guy who’s supposed to kill you just run into his face and don’t shoot him also don’t scan the cursed key as it isn’t needed
How is the routing going in terms of weighing bypassing everything, sprinting past enemies Dark Souls style as often as possible vs going for specific upgrades that might save more time in the end?
I only watched till you finished off the 3rd boss being that’s where I’m stuck and don’t want any spoilers to the rest of the story and Biomes. But what would you say are your primary focuses in your cycles?
Nice post. I beat the game like 4 times now without any new updates. Kept the wifi connection off when playing and turned off auto updates. Going back to demon souls now. Hit me up if anyone wants to wander and destroy lol
Keep practicing. I started like that. Now I can do a full run through the game. The accomplishment of learning the game mechanics is super satisfying. After some practice, what is a truly challenging game can feel easy.

anyone else get an ad about an ad blocker during this beautiful run?

Wow. The Bossfights are like Hollow Knight just in 3D. Great run. Respect-
Thanks!
Haha wow didnt expect a speed run that fast amazing vid
absolutely most impressive part for me 57:06
It’s luck
Bro I just started playing this addiction ; you are a cheat code well done brother
LoL I was mind blowing while seeing you play…I’m stucked in biome3 forever
you sir are a beast! Awesome run, i hope to be this good
Those boss battles looks insane omg! definitely need skills good job !
Crazy how fast you accomplished this after the game came out, even if someone does beat this time it’s very impressive
I beat it with 32 hrs)
I’m losing my breathe watch seline run this much.
I wish I had a PS5 cause this game looks fucking awesome
It´s also getting released for PC on Steam soon.
The game has a built in timer for run length. Not sure why none of the speed runs use it
I had no clue! thanks for the info
@@AJBRUN go into your settings and you can enable it to appear on your screen actually!
That's the first thing i enabled lol
@@SIKWITBANKAI auto sprint for me ! haha
@@arond6790 lmao same that's a must
Still stuck on biome 3! Dam rocket drones giving me fits!
they're literally the most annoying enemies in the game
Fantastic skills man.....it's how I imagine people who like ballet feel when they watch ballet
Makes me really happy that all I have left took you 15 minutes to finish 😂😂 I just have to get the three keys and dive in 💪💪
You could probably shave a lot of time off if you didn’t stop to fight some of these smaller enemies
Insane speedrun
You are so professional dude
Can you do the same with killing all enemies and opening all chests and rooms ?
Wauw that is insane how fast you did this. I love this game
Now this is a proper speed run! I haven’t been enjoying the sub 5 minute runs with just last the last boss. This was such a pleasure to watch.

Good job man, nice run
Now this game officially speedrunner battleground confirmed as I expected from announced XD
Soon prob yolo no damage speedrun
good playstyle...i was wondering how you got through 3rd biome but now I know....just leg it through the area past most enemies...honestly it's a nightmare and Im' leaving it a while but it's a good approach because it's too much with the drones.
The dreaded drones and their rocket barrages 😱
dude I beasted through the drones with the rotlobber but maybe I should of switched to the pistol for the boss because I've lost to him twice and it's been so long between those runs
Also came here for biome 3.

Well done! I am at the last boss as well but can't do enough damage. Will try different weapon like yours and hopefully done with it.

The most important thing in the whole game is to keep moving if you stand still you gonna get hit a lot
Well done mate, well done ;)
Gj, you are awesome 👍
Thanks!
tbh returnal looks like if dark souls and metroid had a child
It is, actually. This game is pretty damn hard, and punishes you like the game wants you to die of rage. I spent 2 hours on a run and my game crashed sending me right back to the beginning :)
He makes it looks so easy
3:43 🤦🏼♂️
I can’t believe that you died so easy at the beginning after I have seen how professional you are.
I cannot believe u beat the snow biome in 1 run. Holy crap. I've blown thru game but all kinds a problems w 3rd boss and snow biome
wow, good job mate

I swear those star wars flying robots are the hardest
My guy you are insane 🥺
Biggest flex on this game is blaming inability to get platinum trophy due to being such a chad.
WHAT. A. CHAD.
This why returnal don't need no saves
Damn I'm trying to beat this time so bad right now but I just keep dying on the 3rd and 4th boss lol
for the 3rd boss try and get a weapon with high bonus dmg it makes it a lot easier

Is there a way to replay the game from the beginning without creating a new user?
Yes.. which is why this one is not considered a real playthrouth from beginning to end.

Amazing game !!!
Crazy !! 😅 you got skills !! Still haven’t tried this game ! But I am sure it wouldn’t be this fast 😬
Hey aj! Is that gun you used in biome 5 your recommended one? I’m not very good with it yet but seems to work well in this area.
Respect best gameplay
Your so lucky with the yellow room in biome 5. I had 6 of the alien things attack me in the final wave. I got destroyed
same here!!! can’t get to biome 6. but i don’t speedrun, in fact these 1h20m i spend at least in each biome
Same. Only tried a couple times tho. Am very happy to see how fast he finished all I have left is the water part after. No boss for 5 was surprising
Housemarque need to make other games in this universe. The aesthetics and music are magnetic but the difficulty is not for everyone.
The area at 1hr 10m 35s is probably the harder section of the game for me
I only watched till you finished off the 3rd boss being that’s where I’m stuck and don’t want any spoilers to the rest of the story and Biomes. But what would you say are your primary focuses in your cycles?
😳 incredible
Wtf gets this good at a hard game like this, I can't even beat the first boss
You sir are a legend

that one is annoying but biome 5 is the hardest in my opinion
@@reddevilkev well yeah I am experiencing it first hand. It's incredibly crazy.
I’m really stuck on the 5th & 6th biomes. Getting those keys, the difficulty has really spiked for me.
Wanna play co-op?
There's a setting to change things you have to scan into just a press, pretty sure that would save you a bit of time to switch on
imagine if demons souls had boss damage bar lol
This is without commentary; why did you let the first boss kill you once you bought him to low health?
Astra is happy
Respect ✊
This game is intense...
What’s the game’s goal? Do u have to beat every boss to finish the game? U need to open every single door?
Wow good job I can't even beat the 1st level
Keep practicing.
I started like that.
Now I can do a full run through the game.
The accomplishment of learning the game mechanics is super satisfying. After some practice, what is a truly challenging game can feel easy.
The gus is very good
