Im watching this with my raycons in
Raycon do not have a shipping option for Australia :(
Gods of Egypt the video game
So basically warframe if ea made it.
Did you watch the videos Byf uploaded then because you said you didn’t know the lore but said he explains it way better (how would you know the videos are good but then explain it bad) Kinda contradicts what you said?
I don't know how they managed to make a game that visually looks so "uniquely generic" or "generically unique"....
This is such a perfect description of the visuals.
Yeah it’s like they tried to use Ray Tracing then said f**k this is too hard
“ADD MORE PARTICLES”
Gods of Egypt the video game
My reaction to Godfall was "Wow, this looks fancy! I don't care about this world and don't want to explore any of this, but it sure is shiny."
Couldn't have said it better
*Sees thumbnail*
"I don't think he likes it."
Fuck, i almost missed that.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Damn really?
I'm shocked i had no idea he might not like it
You sure?
_Bloody hell, I couldn't have seen this one coming._
I love how they went "Oh this game can't run on a PS4, so we won't bother putting in there"
And then when no one bought the game, they went "Yeah, maybe it'll work on PS4." and still no one bought it.
Annnd then the endgame only play DLC pack thing went free one week on epic and STILL no one bought it.
Then they put in on ps plus and no one bothered
Man, that’s an even worse release schedule than the Nintendo virtual boy.
to be fair.... no one(with sense) was going to pre-order a game for a console that wasn't released and they didn't know if they would be able to get one....
then all the scalpers grabbed them boys and here we are....(my brother and i bought PC's instead of paying $1,200 for a ps5)...
game is really bad btw...
LOL FR
Cortana: That guy's trying to become a god. Collect 5 rat-asses.
You: Yeh.
Lmao
Brilliant :-) :-)
*Yeh, totally*
Got me
It's honestly cathartic watching SkillUp tear into a game that raised his blood pressure.
I agree
yess my guilty pleasure
It's about just as enjoyable as watching him gush over a great game that I also love.
Hopefully skillup saved many players from buying this hot garbage, this is the most frustrating game I've never played, I'm getting frustrated just watching this
It feeds the dark parts of me and I love it.
The developers shielded everyone in armour to avoid facial animations.
Minimum effort and money spent on this game.
Eh but Warframe
@@criticalf0ll0w16 Spoiler alert for Warframe, but you don't stay inside the frames forever, in late game you get the ability to get out of the suit which changes up the gameplay. Also several NPCs have faces in Warframe. (Also Warframe is free to play and does not cost $70USD)
I wholeheartedly support such decisions if it yields something positive, like more content or a better looking/running game. Which of course it doesn't in this case.
@@blargh82 yeah I know that but before operators but even still I don't think that's a bad thing for both games
Those aren't micro-stutters, those are entire lockups. Holy crap that's a killer in an action game.
Makes me wonder what Godfall would be like if it was made by the same team that did Devil May Cry 5...
If Vanilla Godfall is a F, a DMC 5 team made Godfall would be a SSS+
Right, this game's one second-long freezes aren't what micro-stutter means. It's interesting how many gamers misapply the terms used to describe performance problems. "Lag" is when an online game fails to update its status because of network problems, but a lot of people use it to refer to frame rate dips, or "slow down."
@@Eincrou That's jargon
@@queuebe4068 Not jargon. Incorrect jargon.
Even watching it feels bad, let alone during play when you're into every moment.

@@klinetalladen you're welcome 😁
I'd call this thing the "poor man's Warframe" but this game is 70$ and Warframe is free.
Well, the guy who buys this game will atleast be 70$ poorer than he was before.
It really looks the part doesn't it? It's one thing to make looter shooters, one thing to make them 3rd person, camera sitting behind your shoulder. But how comes these games just love to look like Warframe?
@@Kokuyous3ki Godfall legitimately looks like a Warframe clone without guns. It's that uncanny. The entire time I was watching the gameplay I kept thinking "this is just Warframe without guns".
Holy shit WF is better than a $70 game😳
@@becoo003 Warframe has major flaws but could easily outclass many other looter games out there (except Diablo).
"Will go free to play / 10" might be the most scathing score I've ever heard anyone give a videogame
You forgot the "or get deleted"
it's funny how the best looters are actually free to play now.
@@hittman1412 It's because they don't want to abandon the way they monetize them.
Release a full price game with in your face monetization > Have it flop > Release a F2P update later to justify the monetization and slowly rebuild a player base.
@@elastichedgehog6339 warframe didn't do that, and its pretty much the only looter I can think of (D2 maybe as well) that is still alive.
@@ananmaysahu4563 To be fair, Destiny survived solely on the lack of competition until it finally figured out how to stop leaping onto broadswords every other year.
Oh, and the fantastic gunplay. That too.
24:06 It's pretty damning when every boss in your game is on the level of Bed of Chaos
There should be a pavlovian aversion therapy for game devs so that every time they try to put motion blur into a game they get an electric shock, and the more blur the stronger the shock gets.
"It's not the size of your terraflop, it's how you use it"
Next gen has arrived, and it has a new tagline...
The only problem being that a terraflop is a unit of measure, so it's a set value
@@vitalik38815 true
Ha it terra... FLOPPED!
Yup 😅
He doesn't even know what teraflops means
That threat indicator is actually hilarious, it's like a hidden Easter Egg.
Even on a 65" tv, they are unnoticeable. The camera is so close you basically just have to dodge around until all of the enemies are in sight. Which isn't long mind you because developers love to spawn enemies behind you.
"hidden easter egg" is also hilarious
Them guys really were so rushed that they just copied and pasted 2018 God of War's combat mechanics without any consideration because some guy in a Suits just told them to do what's popular.
It's like the Railjack missile indicator in Warframe being comically undersized on launch, but that game gets updates, is free, and might actually have fixed it by now.
XD i played through half the game before i even realized it was there, even then i was like what the fuck are those arrows pointing at
Godfall looks like the generic video game that you’d have a kid play in the background of a movie to establish that he’s a gamer.
Even before hearing this review, this game's combat looked extremely...generic button-mashing on damage sponges. (I remember a friend recommending me this because "it's inspired by Monster Hunter," and I went "oh stop joking lol") After hearing SkillUp's analysis, I'm horrified that a game trying to sell melee was designed like this.
"At least its combat is good" is not a redeeming quality, unless it's like Dragon's Dogma good. It's kinda insulting that this line is used as a defense for such a technically flawed combat design.
You know damn well the brown M&Ms taste more chocolatey.
*sniffs* I thought I was the only one
Stay away from the Green ones...
They're not ripe yet...
“Deep lore” and “gripping story” where have I heard that type of talk before... OH YEAH! RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS.
Look, that may be true, but have you heard of the hot new mobile game Raid: Shadow Legends that's taking over the market?
@@TsunamiWombat I’ve heard it got 2000 b.c. Users choice award! Does it have best graphics or 5000+ characters though?
TBH Raid Shadow Legends is a completed game.
Also on cyberpunk 2077
AHAHAHAHAHA
This is my second time watching this review. I find it even better the second time. God-damn, Skill Up! You can really lay it on thick when AAA title fails to be good.
I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for the soul series
Nioh 2 is even better than dark souls. Most people would agree
It always astonishes me that we live in the same timeline as Elden Ring
@candyman I agree, I love both games and I feel like Nioh has become it's own thing rather just another souls-like. Both games are equally good in their own right none of them "better" than each other.
every game this studio makes is the same repetitive garbage all of them no exceptions
@@chrisandrianos2239 very high effort bait, fine work skeleton
“Remember that mission in Anthem...”
No, no we don’t.
I only remember it because he mentioned it in his review of the game.
Hell, I only remembered it because Yahtzee mentioned it in his SP review.
I think we all remember one mission grom Anthem......the grindfest of tombs mission
@@VictorPhenom I think he means the folks who didn't get suckered into buying it. We do not remember.
Normally I wouldn’t remember, but I unfortunately remember that specific mission
Those aren't microstutters. They're full blown stutters.

We are simultaneously living in both the best and worst times to be a gamer.
The tech has come so far to deliver us stunning looking worlds to play in, yet there are very few devs that are anything more than greedy money hounds that care not one bit about after sales satisfaction.
Games look less and less impressive as time goes on. Its the art style that really gives life to a games graphics. also as games look better, less and less resources and time goes to actually making incredible gameplay. I feel like most studios dont take advantage of the tech. Games have gotten less and less creative overtime. More realistic but gameplay still the same. Nothing incredible or different.
@@vice2versaI agree with most of what you said but overall gaming has never been as diverse and creative as it is right now. The problem is the casual gamer, they accept generic, cookie cutter crap constantly and are easily suckered into hype and pre-order scams. Studio's know they only need to chase trends and do the bare minimum to get maximum profit.
We need to raise our standards and vote with our wallets
My brother is a play tester for this game, and according to him they actually didn't even originally plan to have loot systems in the game, but Gearbox demanded it did because I guess that's a feature for all of their games and they wanted it in this one too. So basically one of the only remotely decent features of the game wasn't even originally intended (and why a lot of it doesn't affect how your character looks). Also he has been play testing the game for months and says the game regularly drops below 20fps on the PS5 and they don't intend to fix it, and actually a lot of the bugs he reports for the game do not get fixed and are usually deemed as intended interactions despite the fact that they are clearly not. Basically most phoned in launch title of all time. He wants to quit his job because he's been on the project for so long and the game is so shit lol.
That’s cool insight if it’s true. I’ll take your word for it casue it sounds legit
As a fellow playtester on a major title, this doesn't surprise me one bit. Performance is the biggest thing that devs seem adamant on leaving untouched while QA has to wrestle with it not only ruining our tests, but player experience, as well. My condolences to your brother - hope he found a better project to work with.
@@vulteres Right now they're working on mobile releases for some of the old GTA games I believe, so him and his team are enjoying that a lot more. Plus he got promoted since I made that post and he's actually the QA team lead now.
They really set themselves up for the "GodAwfall" meme.
Or it took a god fall in quality
They really dropped the god fall here
....................yes
The fall started when they sold their first successful and original game to Bandai Namco who shut it down so they can make this garbage
God dammit..
Yup
The team that designed all the weapons and armor deserve some serious props, shame none of their work was utilized well.
Typical good looking game without organ
Yea forreal I don't know why people are trashing the visuals and armor they're the only cool part of the game
It's fucking horrible. It's so incredibly uninspired, generic, shiny and shit-looking. Everything looks the same. Nothing has any depth or identity. How bad can ones taste be. Jesus christ.
@@Slutabara lol it's pretty and shiny you're the one with shit taste you must have bought it and now you're pissed off 🤣🤣🤣
@@Slutabara some are pretty designed and can look cool, it's like bad generic plastic-looking fantasy warframe and warframe looks sick so it's not that bad
A weirdly comforting video I come back to time and time (alongside Anthem + Fallout76) to remind me that games journalists like SkillUp will not let games whisk away our hard earned cash like thieves in the night without laying the full thing out for the world to see. Cheers, mate, keep it up.
I love this comment because...I do exactly the same. Ill be at work and just let SU auto play all the great review.
This review is 100% false and skillup dosen't know how to play fcking video games this game is for ppl who like a challenge and is meant for long play hours thats not good for game journalist this was the same guy complaining about how difficult an enemy in doom was
I love how well u called this out. The game is now free to play but it’s not only free to play but they are giving u a fully upgraded build so u don’t waste time hating the grind so u can run in and hate the combat even fully powered up.
It's not free to play. Stop spreading lies. The game is $40 on Steam, $33 on Epic Store, $41 for PS4 and PS5 and $40 on XBOX.
@@SkyRied1 The comment is one year old lmao.
@@ProcyonNite
Some people, myself including, could still believe that OPs comment is actually true, hence my reply.
@@SkyRied1 it could be true. just true a year ago, hence his “this comment is one year old” reply.

It couldn't have gone from B2P to F2P model then back to B2P (Buy to Play) only for 1 year. Be realistic.
Skill Up - "I'm about to trash this game"
Raycon - "It's free real estate"
Know what’s also free real estate RAID SHADOW LEGENDS-
Well those Raycons should be in the trash too, so.
Raycon goood, wires baaad
Raycons are repackaged Chinese junk just so ya know.
@@iHaveTheDocuments Thank you. I wish CZcamsrs would actually be honest. Anyone who likes this garbage hasn't tried decent headphones
Holy shit that freeze after attacking an enemy is so annoying & distracting, how was that overlooked? It's constant!
it wasn't overlooked. They probably just rushed the whole development of the game so it was in time for the launch of the PS5. F76 vibes, the direction of the dev team is a mess, they know it's shit, they ship it anyway and hope that they somehow break even
@@shib5267 That is just as bad, if not worse than overlooked.
This looks like it was an Unreal Engine project, and if so, it's probably a result of suddenly loading shaders that are part of the particle explosions the moment before they ignite. There should be ways of working around that though, so it probably was just a rushed delivery bug that never got fixed.
I have a "not-overkill-config" (2700X + 1080ti, no OC, 16Gb ram) and it runs very smoothly on 1440p@144 fps with everything on Ultra / High (and no motion blur, because... well it's motion blur). So on that part I blame some configs / drivers not being up to date more than the game. But it doesn't make excuses for the other flaws the game has.
@@MrEnvisioner The particles aren't even good, they just mean that you can't see shit when you're mashing away. A reasonable game developer would remove/reduce them.
"Everything is so shiny"
Godfall: You haven't seen fancy until you see a golden toilet
we've one of those golden toilet in HK. Come & see that to complete you God journey.
Playing this game is like trying to stare at the sun. It looks pretty, but then your eyes get set on fire and all you feel is pain.
The devs were so busy being excited that the engine can render a billion particles, they never thought if they should. :P
Hit the nail on the head, buddy.
@@Shreeram-Narayanan It's not about the tech, but how you use it. And just jamming particle effects in a game instead of actual tech innovation is laziness on the part of the Devs.
@sara Horton
Beautifully well said 😂
@@Alepap. Warframe handles effects a lot better than Godfall does, and they have a lot of settings you can modify. Combat is a lot more fluid there, too.
Life....... finds a way
A ranged final boss in a melee game. Wow,
It's not the even the fact that it's a ranged boss, it's that the boss is designed so poorly and has no counters.
Ranged weapons was the final boss of melee in real life

"worst looter launch in history"?

@@leaflingonline7230 I really don’t think it’s because of the headphones lol, he gets paid regardless of the review.
@@leaflingonline7230 “general consensus” is not “popular to hate”. He might be overdoing it that it’s the worst looter launch, but the general consensus is that game is woefully unfinished, shallow and even if it wasn’t - the amount of content does not match the price tag in any possible way.
Yeah no its actually better then Anthem and such. I round the combat really fun, reminds me of God of War ps4 with the shield throw instead of the axe.
@@leaflingonline7230 "A few months of content patching could easily make this game fantastic"

THAT'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM
Well the thing about Byf is understandable, he’s made his career on telling stories better than the ones who made them
Byf can make spongebob lore interesting istg
So true
Majestic. Majestic.
byf makes literally anything interesting
Sounds like that one dude who also does it for destiny lore lol
A year later and I just realized this entire game is exactly like one game mode (activity)* in Destiny 2: The Haunted forest!
Things i loved about the game:
- The design of the armors
- Fun combos
- No cut scenes , or labyrinth in the maps, just plain hack and slash
-The price , wich was $0
Things i hated about the game:
-Buggy as hell
-Armors are the same thing, i though if you had the lion armor, you could have lion powers or maybe have a couple of lions by your side , noup. It just shines for a second and thats it. No point in having all the armors at all,
-Once you spend you north power, you feel powerless agains anything, and you are just dashing everywere waiting for your "E" power to end its cooldown, same with the shield throw.
-You archon power is barely ever used, it takes so long to charge it, that once you obtain it, you almost done with the mission.
Conclusion:
Bastly dissapointed.
Did you fight Macros?
bastly
Yeah, GameStop only gave me half my money back. A PS5 launch title didn't even have the 48 play-return protection. Even GameStop knew it was bad
down goes Godfall
LMAO owned
You really bought this game 🤦♂️
so there are still people buying at gamestop, that is amazing! Now I get how do stay afloat.
Only get all your money back if bought used. You likely bought it new.
The art style for this game looks like something that should be playing in the background of some movie.
Gods of Egypt anyone...
@@jameswood4676 I don't think you understood the comment at all💀
I think because it looks likes some Golden Era civilisation before they were wiped out. Then you get lore for these old civilisations that perished. Like in God of War.
Somewhere in Hollywood, Michael Bay is getting a tingly feeling.
You're so right it hearts
That games looks like if you were to ask an AI to generate a “next gen fantasy game”.
That input queueing thing is such a killer thing, good god.
It's not even input queuing, it's just straight up NO queuing.
Little detail: Monster Hunter World has animation cancelling, in fact it is one of the more advance techniques. You can cancel almost any recovery after attacks by rolling, you can cancel charge attacks by rolling or some other actions (like buff on hammer or shoulder charge on GS), you can cancel recovery into reloading on ammo weapons, and some of the regular attacks and comboes could be cancelled into other moves. But the attack cancelling itself is pretty rare, almost everything applies to recovery frames to chain different moves.
See even Monster Hunter as canceling and there is still only 1 enemy
I wanted to comment that at first but after looking at the rest of the combat system I think comparing it to MH its just too easy. A master piece of a combat system compare to this pile of garbage... its just sending a nuke against a single soldier.
Only combat system that overshadows MH is Devil May Cry. Those two are the top of the foodchain for me. Not even Ninja Gaiden or God Hand come close
@@Jefstito Sekiro and MH are peak when it comes to combat. Sekiro is tighter while MH has more freedom.
@@quelatielofmirrah188 I cant speak for Sekiro since I havent tried it but for sure Ill play it after that praise. I would be surprise if it holds a knee to DMC though. That combat is both tight and flexible at the same time. Its mechanically rich as well as expressive. And absolute blast when you mastered it but still fun in the beginning
@@Jefstito sekiro is tight in the way guitar hero on expert is tight. The path is already made for you, and if you try to do your own thing your dead. Not my favorite game but I loved the rest of the souls series so much for the opposite reason.
The most absurd thing about this game, is the fact that there are actually people trying to defend the $70 price point of this game.
$70 is an absurd price, even for games who goes beyond on a technical standpoint like Red Dead 2 or something. Imagine a typical garbage plagued with DLCs, micro transactions, patches, etc.. I know the cattle will pay 10 bucks more because their ignorance knows no limits, but it's sad to see how this hobby devolved. Say what you will about nintendo, they have their own myriad of issues, but they at least provide honest and polished content
Not surprising at all. People will defend anything these days.
Game is worth atleast 30$
There are games that you could argue that are worth $70 imo
This aint one of the chiefe
@@RRRRRRRRR33 I mean many companies provide great games, just not Nintendo. I think people like to think/believe online games and live service games dominate the market because they dominate controversy headlines, but they really don't. I play so many games and outside of Avengers and microtransactions and Ubisoft games (smh), I have a huge collection of great games that aren't microtransaction disasters lol
I just played this game for free from Epic because playing with my friends. THEN, Solaris Ascendant happens... Man, that a cheap boss, I've quit mid fight because how cheap, annoying and frustrating he is and finally, I uninstalled this game...
When you actually build your character he gets owned in seconds.. I know its seems impossible, but it's TRUE. I almost quit myself and then I went on and played other modes made a solid build went back and beat his a**.. to the point i was surprise.
So in short I dont think that boss was designed to be beating under built.. which I can respect, way too many games hold our hands nowadays. Happy holidays..
@@gamersthumbs4673 It's not about games holding the player's hands, it's about the boss actually being fair and fun to fight, Solaris Ascendant ISN'T fair or fun to fight. It doesn't matter if you're fully decked out in gear, that's now how it's meant to be done. If you can't beat a boss, it's either one of two things. A skill issue, or the boss is poorly made and believe me, I have experience with poorly made bosses.
Are there any good updates and changes that fix any of these problems since this review? Or it's in the same state?
SkillUp: everything is gilded and shiny.
Me, a warframe veteran: welcome to the Orokin empire my dude.
Dude I can't believe how much this shit moves and looks like Warframe. (I haven't played WF in like a solid 3 years but still)
at least you can tone it down in warframe, first thing I did after I met Orokin.
@@tyler9255 Yea I haven't played Warframe in years but Godfall is just a worse clone of it trying to charge full AAA price (They even wanted to charge $70 instead of $60) Like Skillup said, even if it was F2P I wouldn't recommend it.
@@platinumpunk5629 True, I also ended up using ReShade to tone it down even more and have a less saturated look (looks really good)
At least the Void in Warframe is visually balanced, in this game even the logo is overglossed.
"So to say that godfall has a story is really unfair to the word story.." 😂
Irony is the lore isn't bad. They just fail to use it for anything.
@Ivanna Sukurdic hay, that's a fair stance to take. I'm of the opinion that you absolutely have to get your gameplay right. If you don't do well on story, I've got the gameplay to enjoy. But in the inverse, you could have made this a movie and it would be objectively better. (or a book, or comic, etc.)
Without gameplay, it’s just a fucking story that’s tedious and boring to ‘read’ through. Without story, it’s still a game. What do we call something that lacks both?
Trash
Who else is here after It became free on EGS? guess he was right...
The only good thing about Godfall is finding your channel 😀
Really liked how you detailed the combat; subscribed.
Godfall is just if one of those wacky-looking, visually overstuffed renders on graphics card boxes was an actual video game
Godfall looks like a mobile game in super high fidelity
Stock footage video games you see in movies
@@clear5136 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's just clearly that the director or designer don't really enjoy this type of genre but just want to hop on the trend. Otherwise they would know the problem long ago. Not enough customize, not enough boss variation, not enough build variations.they should just copy MH formula and the game would become A tier instantly.
@@AzureFides literally like a mobile game, but there's actual good ones and some are actually fun, godfall is not fun
It looked forgettable from the first trailer. Nothing about it looked special.
Exactly! Yes! The moment i was done with the trailer... i had no words how boring it sounded. There was nothing except the visuals. I was like: "seriously? You said you want to create a next-gen, awesome game... and THIS is the story you go with?"
I was amazed, that this is it. No regrets of never touching this.
The levels in these games remind me of a senario in which Warframe only had the Void and Lua tilesets through the entire thing, but the floors were recently mopped and are not quite dry yet.
If you don’t know what I mean, it is basically what Skill Up described, shiny to the point of gaudyness.
So accurate lmao
I still cannot believe to this day that you have to reach lvl 50 to access matchmaking
Is that still a requirement?
@@maliisadrable5994 yeah, matchmaking is only available once you reach lvl 50 and even then there's so few people still playing that you will most likely not get matched with anyone

Hard agree with everything said, Don't buy this game. If it goes free to play and gets tonnes of updates MAYBE play it.
Was it supposed to be free to play, initially?
@@noble06 dont think so. He's saying that if it goes free to play on like epic games.

I came here because Epic Stores next FREE game is GodFall, I know to stay clear of this game so thanks for the headsup. Very good review.
No this review is false look at his gameplay it looks like its his first time picking up a controller ive never seen someone so bad at this gsme up until now all the problems this guy has with the game are his PERSONAL isuues dosen't mean there gonna be yours to and this game has had no visual issues for me enemies are as clear as fcking day
@@taejoonpark9613 - I watched and the issues highlighted are not personal issues they are very much a global issue(s), anyone in the right mind can see that. But I am not here to debate and/or argue my point. I am satisfied that the issues pointed out are exactly that, issues. Sure there are some that could be classed as personal issues but most are global issues I feel are valid. I do my research when buying games, 10 years ago I would have purchased blindly but gaming companies have had too much off me and I'm not prepared to purchase sloppy titles that shipped out too early. Even though this is going free this week I can't see me committing to play it as my time is more valuable.
There's an old saying that a wise person once said to me. "Once you start swearing/throwing profanity to get your point accross you've already lost the argument". Have a good day, and enjoy the game I'll pass.
Destiny had a great story. I could tell you about it, but I won't.
We have no time to explain why we dont have time to explain
DID anyone else not notice the arrows until after it was mentioned? LMAO
What arrows?
I know it had a section discussing that but I was literally confused on what he was talking about.
@@adrixshadow there are some arrows around the character to show from where the enemy is attacking, the point he made is that they are extremely small
I was actively looking for them as he mentioned them... and until he physically pointed them out on screen, I still couldn't see them.
Freaking style over substance.
@@redkite1908 I could see them, but only vaguely. They blended in horribly with the visual effects.
I only noticed them before he mentioned because I was looking for something like that thinking "there is no way this combat functions without any indicators from enemy attacks... oh, these almost invisible arrows are supposed to do that..."

I love how this game is basically a vastly more publicized RPG game on your phone that you see everywhere. There are literally hundreds of those games that are so overly flashy with absolutely no substance and are basically trash in all ways.
Part of the video made it look like he was a warframe on an Orokin mission. All the gold and bloom.

My personal thoughts are that the only thing I disagree with in this review is the visuals. I actually love the "gaudy, gold-everywhere" aesthetics.
Destiny 2 had a great raid with those same overly gold aesthetics- it can be done really well
@@hubhikarilives The orokin towers in the void are some of my favorite tilesets in Warframe, too, for all that gold trim.
The thumbnail cracked me up 😂😂😂
The graphics and character styles look like someone made a game out of those screen backgrounds on gaming monitors on online stores.

"Everything is shiny"
This is the literal definition of a polished turd
hahaha polished turd lol
this comment made me laugh a lot XD
I'll have you know a Japanese guy turned a turd into a razor sharp knife. But...he can make knives out of anything. This game wants to be a polished turd knife but it's dull.
Well the shininess is fitting to the theme "GodFall". Makes you remember Olympus or at least what you'd expect. So i'm not really in agreement with that the game looks sht but the particles are def too much and all his other points have credit.
@@Gurem I mean some areas could look shiny and olympian and whatnot, but at least have some variety in your level design and NOT have gilded gold everywhere.
This game is over-designed.
It feels like they hired an artist and after he finished the design, they hired another artist to design over the previous artist, then hired another one and another one and another one...
Well, it is already dead. Just got cancelled a few weeks ago. I'm never happy for a game getting shutdown, but I'm happy when a greedy company fails, hopefully they learn their lesson about pursuing trends with a checklist.
Trends, greed they literally stated on release that the game will have no microtransactions and there is not an in game store in sight and they released new gamemodes for free what were u saying again 🤡🤡
@@taejoonpark9613 the looter sort of trends, MMOs looters in recent years have been bad or average at best, greed because they followed said oversaturated market trying to find long term success in an oversaturated market with a below average product, no need of microtransactions to be greedy. 🤡🤡
It is greed what makes companies ask for money with little effort as possible, or to rush ideas without considering what they are making.
@@josuealcivar9807 this game was good the guy playing here looks like a 4 year old and everything he said about the combat is wrong watch the GBG review of this game bc he actually knows how to play video games 😂😂

"Oh hello, Randy."
Welp, next week Godfall will be free on Epic game store
-So how shiny do you want it to be?
-16 times the shine of fallout 4.
You can only roll a turd in so much glitter before it stops sticking.
*ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS*
That genuinely made me wince.
I will buy a bitcoin instead. All 0.093 bitcoins

It's even more when you remember that it's upside down! 😲
Can’t believe 3 of this trash game is a next gen console in Australia, that’s fucked
My Danish ass not knowing how much it is *Looks it up*. I have not been more ashamed to be a Gamer, than i am right now.
“ So.. to say that Godfall has a story, is a bit unfair to the word.... story.” 😂
Your Aussie wit is legendary, love your review vids as well, looking forward to the next! 👌
just discovered this channel! awesome content :)
"It's not even the worst part of this game; that award goes to the combat."
When you hear this 12 minutes into a 34 minute review, you know it's gonna be bad
Legit, half of this video is just talking about the combat. And it sounds awful
@@ShatteredGlass916 It's not awful. He's just bad at it.
@@Rachis01 his complaints are objective statements, even if he got used to those bad design decisions they would still be bad.
Being good at paying attention to very small attack indicators, getting to know every single ability so you can guess what's happening behind the plethora of particle effects, getting used to horrible enemy design which are programmed to just teleport away or put a thing on the ground that forces you to just wait for5 seconds for no reason, you can do those things, sure, but it wouldn't make those problems go away; you'd just be adjusting to a lot of horrible decisions to try a push through and have maybe some compromised and partial fun.
Good for you if you can do that but again, it doesn't cancel those flaws, you're just ignoring them.
You must've missed the first 3 minutes of the video. Most brutal, relentless slaughter I've ever witnessed
@@Rachis01 did you not watch the same video?
People: "Previous gen is holding back creators to accomplish their vision."
Next Gen Godfall: "My vision is gold, mirrors, and explosions at the expense of everything else."
Sounds like a collaboration between Liberace and Michael Bay.
At this point Borderlands is the only IP keeping Gearbox afloat
I'm rewatching this now with the Godfall Challenger Edition coming to PS Plus next week, and it actually sounds like a good thing that we're not getting the story campaign with that. I'll try it out since it's basically free since I have the subscription, but I'm not going in with high hopes. I know they did finally add a FOV adjustment to the game, so hopefully that helps a bit
Got it on Epic played 1 hour, unninstalled xd, combat is cluncky AF, gameplay loop is awful.
Really it's just the multiplayer version and it's garbage. Went to the tower challenge mode and it lasted 5 minutes before the game booted me back to base for idk what didn't even tell me 😂
"It's not the size of your teraflop, it's how you use it."

"Its the looter equivelent of different color MnMs" I choked.
That was the one line that hit me the hardest. It doesn't matter that they look different if they all taste the same.
@@MuShinnen it was such a brutal line
@@arin2075 It's quite possibly the most savage line I ever heard this guy mutter...
a guy known for his exquisite and intricate and cleverly crafted and worded reviews that are for the most part, generally positive; not even anthem or destiny got this much of a beatdown.
To hear THIS guy say something like that, is truly savage.
Also I'm predicting this game BEFORE it goes f2p it goes "free on PS plus and THEN f2p"
if there even is such a thing.
It's interesting how this "first PS5 game" was made by a team in California consisting of less than 100 people (and that Sony invested in this, probably because it wasn't expensive).
This is what they've worked on, interestingly: "Ratchet & Clank series, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Diablo III, Gears 5, Guild Wars, Titanfall 2, Left 4 Dead, Halo 5, Battlefield 3, Bioshock Infinite, Injustice 2 and Overwatch."
This is what they say about themselves: "We're a tight-knit worldwide fully remote team. We take deep pride in our craft, and in our personal growth. Gaming is our first love-we're drawn to it like moths to a flame. - We have an unquenchable fire in our bellies: we can't stop creating games, and we can't stop thinking about games, even in our sleep. No question is left unturned as we create games with high-levels of personal mastery."
They sound kind of young and a little pretentious perhaps. But I hope they learn from this cause they probably have plenty of potential. - I feel like they might make a hit at some point.
I have an issue with particle effects etc in Warframe as well. If you put everything on ultra, that game is unplayable. Good thing that alot of these settings can be toned down
This looks like bargain bin Warframe
but without the bargain
The bargaining comes when you’re trying to convince the store to give you a refund.
So a rip-off?
Isn’t Warframe falling off too? It’s creators have been complaining for years.
@@crashescripplingdepression8654 Not really, no, in terms of playrbase it has been going steady overall.
@@crashescripplingdepression8654 Nah, it's just suffering from old age. Still a great game though
“Destiny wasn’t half as bad as this”
If that doesn’t say it all, then I don’t know what does.
That’s *really* bad
Destiny wasn't bad, just lacking in much needed content at launch due to a reboot of the entire story just a year prior to release
Making my monthly pilgrimage to this video to laugh at Godfall and revel in SkillUp's writing quality once again.
The blue area is kinda lovely tbh, but when there's gold everywhere and it's bathed in red-gold light, it's just like "where is literally anything in this room? It's all the same!"
Protagonist looks, moves, and runs just like a warframe. Hell the camera even looks the same.
This game is basically a mix of Warframe, God of War and Monster hunter, but in a horrible way
Yep
If it was executed well that would make a great game.
@@CarrotConsumer A fantasy Warframe would be cool af. In fact a spin off game set during the Old War or Orokin Empire era would be so sick playing as a Dax warrior fighting alongside epic Prime or Umbra frames. A living breathing Orokin colony. The lore of Warframe describes the world before the events of the game so vividly it would be sick to experience it, Warframe despite the updates with Fortuna, Plains and Demios still feels kind of lonely.
@@chilliam00 because of the lack of story. im talking about the main game story, lotus and stuff. of course each update has its own story and things but its just not as good
"Its not the size of your terraflop, its how you use it"
Thanks bro, I needed that,
FACTS!!!!!
doesn't matter the size of the bullet, its still gonna hurt
Should've been more like Conan Exiles.
- a big open world to explore, and they contains secrets & multiple raids.
- build temples and fill them with people to worship you as a God.
- all sorts of animals to hunt or tame populating the world.
- lead followers into battle in a huge plain
I enjoy how you do ads. I actually watched the entire ad because how you presented it.
I genuinely thought this game was f2p up until a few days before PS5 launch. It just has “that look” to it
For real why pay for this when u can play destiny or warframe for free?
Exactly. I thought it's some Chinese version of Warframe.
agreed
Great point. If I hadn’t barely known about this game beforehand I would’ve thought the same thing. So incredibly generic looking.
Agreed
It looked GENERIC from miles away. I mean, just imagine a table of old suits throwing all trends at once.
I honestly have no problems with the art style. I like it. However, everything else is what makes me grateful that I did not pre-order it. I'll stick to Warframe, thank you.
One of those old suits was Randy Pitchford (Gearbox published it) which makes it even more pathetic
That's what I thought when I first played Diablo 3. Went from a dark game to a neon cartoony Post WoW Blizzard.
Godfall went for the Destiny + Warframe aesthetic... hoping it could fall short of greatness, but it fell short of anything
ps5 is looking like the ps3 of the 'next gen' wars so far XD exclusive wise
I think this is a game where the entire concept has been designed by one really talented dude and then gave it to a studio who didn’t work out the technical stuff
19:20 in fairness For Honor also requires you to successfully hit the attack first before being able to do another. But in that game it's more about timing than being a clunky mess.
In for honor you are playing against other player using the same mechanics as you…and actually there is a specific button for attack cancelling…
@@teeman7137 yes
I came here because of the thumbnail. “GodAwful” is a fantastic play on words
