hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:02
cons of the video game a quiet place the
0:06
road ahead i forgot what the video game
0:08
was on not now mom I am gaming these are
0:13
short videos featuring gameplay clips or
0:15
screenshots so as not to show too much
0:16
in the spoiler department links to this
0:19
review are in the description below
0:21
there won't be any screenshots of this
0:24
game during this review because I played
0:26
it a while back and I don't have any
0:28
good screenshot material so sorry about
0:31
that i'm not starting a new game ain't
0:33
going to do it let the reviewing
0:35
begin pros you're just as nervous as the
0:39
character you're playing i was afraid I
0:42
wouldn't be able to put a pro here but
0:43
here you are your character is someone
0:46
with asthma who relies on inhalers she
0:48
finds throughout the game that aren't
0:49
really littered throughout so you have
0:51
to make use of them when you actually
0:53
need them and the fact that any little
0:55
noise could mean your doom doors drawers
0:58
broken glass and every time a creature
1:00
gets close your anxiety goes up and
1:02
carrying heavy things or entering a
1:03
dusty room will trigger
1:05
asthma well let's just say you might
1:07
understand just how stressed she is in
1:12
cons: monsters pretend they don't know
1:14
where you are when in fact they know
1:18
exactly where you are especially after
1:20
you throw a bottle or brick because
1:23
somehow they're able to trace the
1:25
trajectory of the object you threw over
1:27
to where you are now panicking how the
1:30
crap do blind monsters that have hyper
1:32
sensitive ears know exactly where you
1:34
are based on you throwing an item that's
1:36
supposed to take their attention away
1:38
from you and sometimes when you throw an
1:41
item they just don't acknowledge it at
1:42
all this happens toward the end game
1:45
especially i understand wanting to give
1:47
us more of a challenge as the game
1:49
progresses but holy crap it's like they
1:52
zone in on our heartbeat they already
1:54
get a new talent at some point that
1:56
makes us have to stop moving entirely
1:58
but to give them a sense of intuition on
2:00
where you're going to be standing is a
2:02
bit extreme when all you want to do is
2:04
alive slow progression clearly this
2:08
isn't a game where you'll be able to
2:09
casually make your way through places
2:11
you do need to go slow and contemplate
2:13
what path you're going to take and how
2:14
much noise you're going to make if you
2:16
take that intended path it takes stealth
2:19
games to a whole new level so if you're
2:21
the kind of person that becomes
2:22
frustrated by not making quick progress
2:24
it's not a good game for you bonometer
2:27
is more stressful than helpful this one
2:31
might just be me but sneaking around
2:33
should be simple enough you want to
2:35
crouch and stay quiet and take paths
2:37
that cause less noise but since we're
2:39
given a phenomen we can now see the
2:41
noise levels we're making which will
2:43
probably cause high bouts of anxiety
2:45
when you see the bars raise a little too
2:47
high for your liking don't get me wrong
2:50
it's a great device to have in a world
2:52
where you don't want to make noise but
2:54
knowing you're making noise is also a
2:56
problem all its own and that's the end
2:58
of a pros and cons review of A Quiet
3:01
Place: The Road Ahead thanks for
3:03
watching everyone and don't get in too
3:05
much trouble when you say not now mom
