Great piece -- missed the listing of available places to play 3MR always included, though!
Awesome job Marty! All the content here has been absolutely phenomenal and seeing this just pushed me over the ledge to join in the Patreon. cant wait to see what is in store next for the team over here!
Excellent work Matt and Marty. I loved it! Thanks.
Starting and finishing the video with Lord of the Rings references? Incredible. Must say the game looks fascinating, it's now wishlist-ed so it's next in line after Chants of Sennaar. Great start to Bytesized!
I've missed Marty's narrations. Glad to hear him present a piece he's written again.
Thanks for recommending! I remember seeing a trailer to this and was wondering whether it was actually good or just gorgeous backgrounds that would work better as a painting. Glad it holds up so well. Only criticism is that I still don't know much about the gameplay (I don't need to hear minutiae like what button does what or what Needlessly Capitalized Doodads to collect, but more on the basics or how it innovated or engaged would be nice).
I bought the game after Marty started racing about it the first time, currently like halfway through after restarting because I didn't know it kept items between runs. I was under the impression stuff I missed was gone forever and it was really stressing me out. The story, the world, is all so pretty I kept feeling like I needed to experience it all. I'm gonna go back all the more excited.
This my 3 cents: at 7 mins, it doesn't really stand out IMO. What I liked about 3MR is that the very short format made the reviewer/editor be extremely selective about every word/image that made the cut and these limitations made the format (and the end result) shine and stand out. More minutes is not more better is what I am trying to say. (this came out more negative than I meant, I still really liked the tone, script, images, text, audio. I just think 3MR stood out more).
Okay Marty, I'll go buy the damn game.....
Just watching this is giving me Journey vibes
Looks like an ideal way to relax before Christmas. definitely a chilled out vibe. I might even have to have a bottle of scotch on hand. Really nice video Marty I look forward to the next one ! Good work 👍
Lovingly written, Marty! Seems like a perfect game to have on the switch. Sounds like it'll give me the same meditative vibes as Sable.
