Despite my best efforts this is another long one. And two, TWO whole jokes about leaving a comment. I think I might be going senile.I didn't wait until there was a re-release to do a video on purpose. I'm kind of glad I did though because Build Powerslave was not very interesting and would have been a slog of a video to do on its own. The metroidvania one though, that's fun, that's cool and interesting and something meaty. With Don LaFontaine!

It is true that I'd played some of the "Powerslave EX" port that Kaiser put out in 2015. I figured that Nightdive would, at some point, do a re-release of the game since the skeleton of the port had already been worked on, like how they did Doom 64. It turns out that when you give Nightdive the time and resources to make something it comes out fine! Who would have thought? 

Next up might be Nightmare Reaper, but there should be another What's Civvie Playing before that happens. I say "should be" like I don't have it mostly done already. _________________________________

Love knowing about games I've never heard of from you

Matt hall

Awesome! Cant wait to watch it! I like the longer vids.

The only thing that can pull me away from Elden ring is my favorite lifelong indentured entertainer/prisoner

Returning to Nightmare Reaper for the beta has been a joy. I'm excited to see the release video on it.

Only exposure I'd had to this prior to the remaster was Matt McMuscles's video on the EX version, so going into this fairly blind on launch was pretty fun. I was super impressed with how solid the platforming felt, like I almost never missed a jump from wanting to panic/overcorrect like one tends to want to do in first person platforming - that really sunk in during that one lava fields section where there was like. Five fuckin' mantises in a row, four of which were in a narrow chasm before a key, so having to do that over a number of times and jumping on the tiny moving platforms leading into it really hammered that in. The Manacle's in the Nightdive version as well, but very easy to miss, and from the looks of it, not nearly as useful as its counterpart.

A chunky video about a (mostly) obscure classic boomer shooter... good stuff. Random game of the month: Outwars. Any opinions on it?

"Its not the worst idea, but it lives next door to the worst idea, who calls the police if it hears loud music." Love that.

Also, I don't know how to feel that you didn't subtitle this "Strafe like an Egyptian"

That may be the best ending a game has ever had.

Kiros

Great to have a video, but I thought Civvie was taking a break?

John C. Armack

God I hope someone else loved that Grosse Pointe Blank joke as much as I did.

I don't know what itch this game scratches but I'm now obsessed

You can use the grenades to "rocket-jump" to places that require a specific artifact, I rocket-jumped to the marsh BEFORE getting the flamethrower and the anklets and got the snake staff, BUT when rocket-jumping vertically it does a lot damage to you enough to kill you without any of the 5 ankhs, I think you need 2 before you go flying. also the bad ending has you going into the sarcophagus with Ramesses and later more aliens come and put your carcass on display as a relic.

Sakanz

The long ones are my favorites

Silentphil9

The Don LaFontaine bit made me laugh like a maniac. I'm showing that to everyone I know. Fuck, that was funny.

matt

been waiting so long for this, and the payoff did not disappoint!! I could never bring myself to run all the way through powerslave, and now I don't have to, and for that alone you have my eternal gratitude. 🔺

Argon Productions

Hey Civvie, this video is excellent. Every frame of the high-effort production is a treat.

Damian Benham

When's Unreal? When's Descent? Good vid by the way. Probably gonna pick this game. Looks fun.

Christian Grimmett

I really like Civvie explaining run through's of Metroidvania games. The Prime games are some of my favorite FPS games ever and I definitely wanna try Powerslave now that I've seen this.
