I totally agree... Respectfully in my opinion, there are at least one or two reviews they did this month that seemed unnecessary compared to "FIST"... which is a real shame, because this game needs more exposure.
@@sanguinepenguin9576 Well, it's not like the reviews they did for smaller games this past month were big hits for them either. F.I.S.T. would definitely have more appeal than those bassed on production values... and it's a ~10 hours game, so it wouldn't be that massive of an undertaking
Glad this is getting some attention, always love it when a Metroidvania gets some love. Also cool to see more Chinese developed games, they seem to really be really coming into their own this generation.
It’s ironic because both super Metroid and symphony of the night were mostly ignored when they came out. It was incredibly hard to find copies because they were rare in stores. It wasn’t until years later, and mostly due to the Internet, that people eventually picked up on them. So it is a bit of a legacy of the genre for people to miss out on great things when they are new.
"always love it when a Metroidvania gets some love" In that case, here's a shout out to a couple of other great Metroidvanias that came out this year - Record of Lodoss War and Ender Lilies.
Sorta voiced this to Huber on Twitter already but I’ve really loved my time with this game. I expected this to kinda be an appetizer for Metroid Dread but it ended up being a meal unto itself.
Glad you guys covered this. I already platinumed it. It's a very good game, just a little bit challenging, but nothing impossible, especialy if you get all upgrades. They will add an easy mode, but I wouldn't play on that.
Alright I’m sold. I feel like these days some trailers just don’t do their respective games justice quite like previews like this one. Same thing happened with Returnal’s first few trailers and Scarlet Nexus in general.
Iceland, great choice! You won't see this until after, but I would have to say it's the most beautiful place I'll ever see in my life. Bit lacking in food culture though!
I've got this on my radar in addition to Tales of Arise, Life is Strange, Deathloop, Eastward, Flynn, Kena, Lost Judgment, D2 Resurrected... Infinite games, Huber, infinite games. Edit: Have a fantastic trip!
I only recently learned this game was a metroidvania, I'd thought it was a linear beat-em-up. And now with this video, well, Huber's hyped me up. Gonna be the next game I play after I finish Flynn: Son of Crimson.
So, when this game got announced, I thought they named their city Port City (It's actually Torch City). And in that brief moment, I was like "Man, I really hope I don't have to get into a legal battle with the makers of this later. Especially since we both have a lot of humanoid animals in our respective series........"
For anyone holding off on this game, if you like metroidvania games, stop messing around and just pick it up, it’s really solid, competent, well built and good fun
Bought it day one and really liking it even though it had ZERO buzz sadly. Is it a masterpiece ? No. Must play ? Not really. Memorable and fun ? YES. I'm just stuck on the twin bosses right now but I have to say the mood of the game is really great, and the combat is pretty unique because it feels like a fighter (you have to stick to animations logic to do combos, cant spam things and hope it works). Thank you Huber for talkin bout it (even though you never read comments :( )
There are a lot of new IP games eating right now. Gamers need to support that. Honestly, I think new games should get some kind of bump in review score just to acknowledge that it is a fresh idea.
This game was fantastic. It's been ghosted by many because it's made by a Chinese developer... I just grabbed the platinum for it, but that was not quite as fun as the main story. I would say the main game is a 10/10 but if you are going for 100% you'll quickly see that the game is way more hard core than your usual Metrovania. They even patched in a fighting game in it called "Slum fight". Strongly recommend this game.
Chinese devs are on a roll lately, F.I.S.T.'s presentation looks crazy polished for an indie title and I'm glad it's getting great reviews for it's gameplay as well.
Feel like this hasn't been advertised very well. was waiting for it and all of a sudden I found out it was out in two days, and then found out it wasn't coming to steam straight off either. Visually this looks so great so the only reason not to be hyped for it is if you don't know about it so this was a much appreciated syndrome. Even if it's just for people to stick on their steam wishlist.
"FIST" is so freaking awesome.... ....Thanks shouting it out huber! ...And I am so happy the game is legit a high quality & bad-ass experience. Buy the game, it's 1000% worth it.
Idk it looks fun but I'm not diggin the rabbit in a mech suit. Not as appealing as ratchet & clank character design wise. Maybe it will grow on me as I do love metroidvanias
I am glad that you enjoyed this game but there is no way it is as good as you are saying it is. The story is very meh. The dialog is god awful in terms of translation to English. The speech is all over the place (sometimes characters with speaking roles will switch to text only for no reason). The combat is about the only thing the game has going for it and even then there are plenty of cheap enemy encounters. You couldn't point to anything that didn't feel good? Your attacks are horribly delayed and the hitbox of your weapons is so specific that it consistently leads to missed attacks or opening yourself up to being attacked. Maybe it's because I have been putting myself through my own personal hell with my playthrough of this, what I have said a few times, god awful game, but your review sounds like we're playing two completely different games all together.
Love Huber but that statement is not entirely true. Yes, you only play on one save file, and it overwrites itself with autosave. However, you copy a save file multiple times in the main menu, so you can backup your save this way.
It is, definitely deserved more attention than it's getting. A good review from you guys would be a great way to put more eyes on it too.
too many triple As right now, Im not shocked they don't have the time for this kinda game sadly
I totally agree... Respectfully in my opinion, there are at least one or two reviews they did this month that seemed unnecessary compared to "FIST"... which is a real shame, because this game needs more exposure.
@@tegancombatti7836 your opinion doesnt get views

Or a Don't Skip even!
Thanks for putting out this video, Huber.
I’ve been loving this game. So well designed.
Ultimate hype man

THANK YOU Huber for bringing more attention to this game, it's so good
Got a feeling I'm about to see that cat lady in a lot of... "fan animations".
Sorta voiced this to Huber on Twitter already but I’ve really loved my time with this game. I expected this to kinda be an appetizer for Metroid Dread but it ended up being a meal unto itself.

And, it's not a button masher. You have to time your combos, healing, jumps and dashes very well.
Alright I’m sold. I feel like these days some trailers just don’t do their respective games justice quite like previews like this one. Same thing happened with Returnal’s first few trailers and Scarlet Nexus in general.
I will definitely be picking this up on PS5 at some point. Kind of waiting for a physical release
I've been loving F.I.S.T. and now Eastward just came out.. man I got some gaming to do this weekend.
Looks great. I'd be all over it if I didn't have a backlog already filled with absurdly great games.
It’s my lunch break. It’s Thursday. It’s time for Huber Syndrome.
Clean cut huber is cozy
Hope you're having a great time in Iceland with your family, Huber! The Easy Allies community loves you and your infectious enthusiasm so much.
Finally played this after your recommendation Huber! I loved it!
Loved it. The small details in the world (dynamic background) and tributes to games that inspired them was really fun.
I'm just waiting patiently for the pc version.
I appreciate cleanly shaven Huber
I've been looking forward to this game but was waiting to hear what Easy Allies thought of it first. Definitely picking this up now.
I’ve been following this game for a bit and I’m waiting for my import copy to arrive!!! Glad to hear it’s really good
Hope you’re having a sick vacation Huber! Well earned
Iceland, great choice! You won't see this until after, but I would have to say it's the most beautiful place I'll ever see in my life. Bit lacking in food culture though!
Good lord, so many games! Fist, Eastward, Tails of Iron, and lots more. Back to back to back games.
Great game, just finished it a few days back.
I've got this on my radar in addition to Tales of Arise, Life is Strange, Deathloop, Eastward, Flynn, Kena, Lost Judgment, D2 Resurrected... Infinite games, Huber, infinite games.
Edit: Have a fantastic trip!
I only recently learned this game was a metroidvania, I'd thought it was a linear beat-em-up. And now with this video, well, Huber's hyped me up. Gonna be the next game I play after I finish Flynn: Son of Crimson.
Definitely getting this in the future.
Deep into Tales of Arise but will definitely get FISTED!
So many games (Arise, Lost Judgment, Ace Attorney, FIST, etc), so little times 😔
Reminds me of Shadow Complex back in the day. Super cool!
So, when this game got announced, I thought they named their city Port City (It's actually Torch City). And in that brief moment, I was like "Man, I really hope I don't have to get into a legal battle with the makers of this later. Especially since we both have a lot of humanoid animals in our respective series........"
I wish you guys brought back Don’t Skip, this game would have been perfect for that format

Sold. On wishlist. And to be clear had no idea this was a thing. Thank goodness i randomly clicked on this one.
Can't wait for the PC release!
This game was fantastic.
It's been ghosted by many because it's made by a Chinese developer...
I just grabbed the platinum for it, but that was not quite as fun as the main story.
I would say the main game is a 10/10 but if you are going for 100% you'll quickly see that the game is way more hard core than your usual Metrovania.
They even patched in a fighting game in it called "Slum fight".
Strongly recommend this game.
If you are looking for a Metroidvania…but Metroid comes out in a couple weeks…Na dawg I’ma wait. I’ll probably get it eventually tho.
I've been playing F.I.S.T. a lot since it came out. If you like Metroidvanias you definitely should check it out
I'm now interested thanks to you!
Enjoy your trip Huber!
Chinese devs are on a roll lately, F.I.S.T.'s presentation looks crazy polished for an indie title and I'm glad it's getting great reviews for it's gameplay as well.
Great hype for the game - it's laid my doubts to rest. But forget all that, I can't wait to hear some great Icelandic stories!
Im playing guacamelee2. Another great meteoidvania but this one looks good. Another one for the list
hope you guys review webbed soon
Iceland gonna be Dope!
Feel like this hasn't been advertised very well. was waiting for it and all of a sudden I found out it was out in two days, and then found out it wasn't coming to steam straight off either. Visually this looks so great so the only reason not to be hyped for it is if you don't know about it so this was a much appreciated syndrome.

Art direction looks heavily influenced by FF7. Look at 6:08...look at the background. Midgar anyone? :)
I love it just got on seich and its good better then princ of persia
Iceland? YO
Ill wait for DREAD then play this after 100% DREAD
"FIST" is so freaking awesome.... ....Thanks shouting it out huber! ...And I am so happy the game is legit a high quality & bad-ass experience. Buy the game, it's 1000% worth it.
you sold me :)
I wish you got commission because I bought it based off this review.
How was the game? Worth it?
¿Por favor pero qué bestialidad es esta?
Gorgeous.
I'll look at this. I love Metroidvanias. Any other Metroidvania recommendations? Anyone?
Guacamelee! 2 and Yoku's Island Express are good lesser talked about games.
GRIME is pretty neat. It's a souls-like metroidvania which can be pretty challenging at times.
Axiom Verge 1&2 and Steamworld Dig 2
Hollow Knight and the two Ori games (Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps) are must plays imo
The Messenger
I went to go buy the game on Steam, and its releasing a few weeks from now? Oct 7th? I guess theres an early embargo on this one!
He played on PS5 or PS4. It's already out there.
@@silviuamuza3902 oooooh ok, didn’t realize PC was releasing later.
Looks like a good game.
Great Game!
I hear they have amazing hot dogs in Iceland! For real! I wanna see Hubers hot dog revue!
This game reminds me of Oddworld honestly...
Won't buy this for my ps5, I think metroidvania games work best on a handheld. Will buy this as soon as it is released for the PC for my GPD Win 3
Game pass?
Idk it looks fun but I'm not diggin the rabbit in a mech suit. Not as appealing as ratchet & clank character design wise. Maybe it will grow on me as I do love metroidvanias
Put this on my PS wishlist so I don't forget about it. I love Metroidvanias and the graphics are beautiful!
Woah, this looks better than Dread!
It's a really good game, but the hit-detection is problematic and the combat animation priority is ATROCIOUS, so I hope they patch the game soon
I am glad that you enjoyed this game but there is no way it is as good as you are saying it is.

Agreed....I'll gladly throw some cash to the Chinese overlords for more games like this
Only one savefile sounds dumb. Backup saves is essential in games.... Crashes/corrupt saves etc happens
Love Huber but that statement is not entirely true. Yes, you only play on one save file, and it overwrites itself with autosave. However, you copy a save file multiple times in the main menu, so you can backup your save this way.
I'll be honest I was going to skip it just out of spite because of the terrible name
I knew back when I played the demo for this that it was something special. Huber is absolutely right, this is a jump right in game.
