Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the demo for the video game
0:05
Cosmic Coupe on Not Now Mom, I'm Gaming.
0:09
These are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:14
department. Links to this review are in
0:16
the description below. Let the reviewing
0:18
begin. Pros: Cute Critter concept. I
0:23
really like how you don't exactly go out
0:25
and capture critters and store them on
0:26
your farm or even buy them from
0:28
merchants, even though that could be a
0:30
possibility. I'm not sure this is the
0:33
type of farm that consists of egg laying
0:35
chickens, milk spreading cows, or wool
0:37
sheared sheep. I kind of am hoping the
0:40
critters give us some kind of unique
0:41
items. But basically, you're going to be
0:44
building decorations to place on your
0:46
farm, and depending on the decoration, a
0:48
specific critter will show up. You also
0:51
have to have an appropriate environment
0:52
for them, which I think is just another
0:54
item you have to craft and place on the
0:56
farm for them. And if you don't have the
0:58
appropriate environment for them, their
1:00
colors will be a gray, and when they're
1:02
content, they'll have vibrant colors.
1:05
So, you don't necessarily have to worry
1:06
about whether or not a critter will want
1:07
to stay or leave. It was stated that
1:10
some critters don't get along with
1:11
others, meaning you might have to pick
1:13
and choose which ones you like more.
1:15
Kind of a bummer, honestly.
1:17
Pretty big farm. I feel like it's a lot
1:20
bigger than most farming games I played,
1:23
but there are also some farming games
1:24
where you have several plots to use.
1:27
Maybe the biggest downside about a large
1:28
farm is the fact that you have to run
1:30
all over it trying to clean it up or
1:32
maybe even trying to remember where you
1:33
put what. Is it a large farm, though?
1:36
Have I just not played a farming game in
1:38
a while? And this one is about your
1:41
I'm not sure if this demo had it, but it
1:44
would be nice to be able to see a map of
1:45
the farm that shows where the
1:46
decorations are as well as specific
1:48
crops, perhaps even critters. I can't
1:51
remember which farming game I played
1:53
that allowed that, if it was Fay Farm or
1:55
something else. But yeah, a big farm has
1:58
a lot of potential. Cons: bad controller
2:02
support. This was a big oof. You can do
2:05
a lot of things on the controller, but
2:07
its movement is really unstable when
2:09
trying to choose an item on your
2:10
toolbar. or even positioning yourself in
2:12
front of a tree or rock to destroy for
2:14
materials. It's just more of a hassle
2:17
than anything else. Also, when it comes
2:19
to hovering over an item to obtain
2:21
information about it, you can't do that
2:22
on a controller, only a mouse. And when
2:25
you want to craft something, you also
2:27
can't click the craft button on a
2:29
controller, only a mouse. It really
2:31
makes playing the demo with a controller
2:33
pointless. Not to mention, the key binds
2:36
change up every so often. It'll tell you
2:38
to use A to perform an action, and it's
2:42
Gamebreaking bug on a controller. I was
2:44
trying to figure out if I could hover
2:46
over a quest reward items that were
2:48
shown to see the names of everything,
2:50
and I pressed a button of some kind that
2:51
froze the game to a certain extent. The
2:54
animations in the background were still
2:55
happening. Time was continuing forward,
2:58
but I could not get out of the quest
2:59
description. I had to go into Steam and
3:02
manually close the game and then reboot
3:04
it. This was before the tutorial was
3:06
even complete. The first quest we
3:09
obtained from Finna. Couldn't hoe the
3:11
soil. Once the tutorial is over, you're
3:14
free to do what you want and can on your
3:16
farm. However, when I tried to hoe up
3:18
some spaces to drop some seeds in, I
3:20
found I couldn't. When I grabbed my hoe,
3:23
it sounds weird, but it's not. The
3:26
entire outline of my farm had green
3:27
dashes around it and I couldn't tend the
3:29
soil anymore anywhere, which means the
3:32
biggest aspect of farming can't be done.
3:35
At this point, I stopped playing seeing
3:37
as I had no motivation to continue a
3:39
farming game where I couldn't farm. Not
3:41
to mention some of the things you have
3:42
to build need the items that grow from
3:45
No skip for interest scene. You have the
3:48
choice to skip the tutorial section, but
3:50
not the interest scene. And I thought
3:51
that was a little weird. The only reason
3:53
I noticed it is because I rebooted the
3:55
game just to get the achievement.
3:57
Though, I don't really think there's a
3:58
point since it is a demo we're playing.
4:01
But yeah, if you boot the demo up again,
4:03
you have to click through the intro
4:04
portion. And that's the end of a pros
4:06
and cons review of the demo for Cosmic
4:10
Coupe. Thanks for watching, everyone.
4:13
And don't get in too much trouble when
4:14
you say, "Not now, Mom. Mine gaming.
