hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Assemble with

to this review are in the description
0:18
below let the reviewing
0:21
begin
0:22
pros: Continuous story line i'll admit
0:26
before I started playing the game I
0:28
thought it was just going to offer up
0:29
different levels and things to piece
0:31
together i didn't know there was an
0:33
actual storyline to it and a bit of an
0:35
emotional one at that when it did turn
0:38
out to be a bit of a visual novel and
0:39
characters came into play I then thought
0:41
that maybe each chapter would have us
0:43
meeting someone new and fixing something
0:45
for them but again it came as a surprise
0:48
that it kept to two different families
0:50
and the problems they were kind of
0:51
facing as a festival would soon be
0:53
arriving
0:55
fun
0:56
projects i enjoyed the variety of items
0:58
that we got to fix and one of them we
1:00
even did without any actual knowledge on
1:02
how to really piece it together due to
1:05
being the character that we were i mean
1:08
for the most part they all seemed a bit
1:09
easier due to the main character being a
1:11
fixture of things but once we were out
1:13
of the picture it felt a bit more
1:14
nerve-wracking even though we were doing
1:16
exactly the way we'd been doing the
1:18
whole game it's interesting how going
1:20
from one perspective to another can kind
1:22
of mess with your mind in that sense but
1:25
yeah I like the projects some are more
1:27
tedious than others and that's fine
1:28
seeing as nobody wants one thing after
1:30
another be simple fixes great voice
1:33
acting the main narrator's voice sounds
1:36
like the same person that narrated the
1:38
story line at Beacon Pines the fact that
1:41
we're given multiple characters and they
1:43
each had their own voice actor was
1:45
really nice a lot of these games you
1:47
just expect silence going in and a quiet
1:49
read but that wasn't the case everyone
1:51
did a very good job
1:54
cons: Are we getting paid obviously in
1:58
our first chapter we didn't get paid but
1:59
in little doodads from the girl and then
2:01
the coffee shop lady didn't have any
2:03
money because she had to call her sister
2:04
for funds so I have to ask did we get
2:07
paid for anything we did besides
2:09
everyone's gratitude i mean fixing
2:12
things is our job right it's great to do
2:14
things for free but some of the stuff
2:16
was like a bit more intense than just
2:18
you know changing batteries
2:21
maybe we did get paid but because that
2:23
wasn't really the whole point of fixing
2:24
things it just wasn't shown which I can
2:27
understand that instructions a bit
2:30
lacking there were some chapters during
2:32
the game level seven specifically where
2:35
I just wasn't sure what I was supposed
2:37
to do in order to piece things back
2:38
together at least one of these problems
2:41
came from the fact that I didn't know
2:42
that I could remove connectors like I
2:45
would pull them away from the area and
2:46
try to connect them elsewhere but never
2:48
pull them far enough away to disconnect
2:50
them fully due to that I was stupidly
2:53
confused on how to get the connectors of
2:55
the bad parts on the Game Boy device
2:56
since they were all clearly needed i
2:59
took way too much time on that level due
3:01
to how infuriatingly difficult it was
3:03
not knowing how to get those things off
3:06
aside from that the rotation is a bit
3:08
weird and I kept clicking too far from
3:10
the item making it go back to its
3:11
original spot instead of in front of me
3:14
and at the start where we put the
3:16
suitcase in front of us I thought that
3:17
was supposed to do something i didn't
3:19
know that I had to manually do things
3:21
once it's in front of me until the
3:22
narrator stated she needed to unlock the
3:24
latches it seems such a simple thing to
3:27
realize but it's really not for anyone
3:28
who's not played these kinds of games
3:31
before same
3:33
artwork i personally love the artwork
3:35
for the game it's simplistic and
3:37
painterly but I really wish there was
3:39
more variety to what we look at i can
3:42
understand why some scenes are the same
3:43
but for others I wish there was a bit
3:45
more variety to how the characters
3:47
looked for instance when the sister was
3:49
helping with serving customers at the
3:51
cafe I wish there was an image to mimic
3:53
that instead of her in her casual stance
3:56
like many other moments she appeared
3:57
before
3:58
us level seven seems bugged okay so I
4:03
really like the Game Boy musical
4:05
soundtrack but it would not shut up even
4:07
when I didn't fix it properly in fact I
4:10
took the damn batteries out to make it
4:12
stop and it's still sang that little
4:13
jangle which drove me absolutely crazy i
4:17
backed out of the level and came back in
4:18
thinking maybe it was a bug but it was
4:20
still the same problem once it started
4:22
it would keep going till I actually fix
4:24
the sound properly i don't think that's
4:26
how a console works i'm pretty sure once
4:30
you take the batteries out the sound
4:31
shouldn't
4:33
continue and that's the end of our pros
4:35
and cons review of Assemble with Care
4:39
thanks for watching everyone and don't
4:41
get in too much trouble when you say not
