with the DLCs (especially the Vietnam one) and all the fixes they’ve made, this game is def a 10! well worth its money. Thx Joe for making me buy this in the first place
joe that sounds nothing like swedish
they add in the spell “crash to desktop” lol
me i have to say id give magicka a 8 out of 10.its a great game but the lag destroys it
Could u do a top ten or something of hardware we need for a cpu in order to play games, like magicka.
Okay i’m from Denmark so being a part of scandinavia i can tell you that’s not swedish, but i can see what you are comming from, the way they pronounce the “words” are very swedish in style.
I’m Swedish and none of those words are Swedish but the pronunciation is very Swedish, almost a parody of Swedish.
I don’t know if this has been passed along to you yet Joe, but the actual developers love this review and consider it a “great, great review”. TotalBiscuit hosted a developer’s commentary, where the makers of the game played through it discussing the many references, the development processes, and many other things. In part 6, starting at about 8:20, they discuss the reviewing process and mention you specifically for how you at the same time have the integrity to call them out on releasing “a buggy piece of shit” and for giving a separate score on the real game vision the developers were working around the clock to make available to everyone as a labor of love.
In short, keep up the good work. It’s nice that there’s one reviewer that everyone from just another guy in Iowa to the makers of the game in Sweden can trust. Thanks.

Angry joe is the most epic reviewer ever.
“MAGICKA: VIETNAM is out and its bloody FUN
Great review
You would be very supprised how extremely well swedish people actually speak english. You barely hear any accent at all! They have no synched movies – they watch OV – so everyone starts lerning english right when they start watching TV
There is some swedish in there actually, most gibberish, but some words are swedish.
Just finished the game. And what great game it was.
Now I’m excited about the new expansion “MAGICKA: VIETNAM”. Just watched the trailer and DAMN it was awesome.
Thanks for letting me know about this magickal gem………….. god this was a bad pun….
Sorry I disagree with review. I only played demo, it was ok but kinda repetitive and quite hard. The magic system is cool, but thats about only pro I can find in this game. Everybody says well you have to play coop to have fun.. wtf so boring single player is “ok”? Its not ok, you have to rate the game on all of its aspects!
I didnt find most jokes very funny either, but thats just my opinion, + I only played the demo so idk.
The biggest con is alot of people complaining about bugs, multiplayer desynch, overly high requirements for the crappy gfx. The first week this game came out some level was unbeatable due to a bug completely… Id rate this game 3/10 at best. Sorry
Jag är svensk och jag är stolt

I am swedish and i am proud
Yay another swedish angry joe fan
Trevligt 
Dude do a review on minecraft
i am from sweden so plz do it
Ja men det har ju in släpts än, han kan göra en Preview nu men inte en review förrän det har släppts.
You were right about awesome DLC, first DLC coming up is……. MAGICKA: VIETNAM
Hey Joe, if you like Magicka, and have an iPhone, there is a game I think you’d like to check out sometime (2 games, actually). The games are Solomons Keep and Solomons Boneyard (Boneyard is the better of the 2 in my opinion). I think that’s where the idea for magicka came from. I’d highly suggest checking it out, if able. Not saying to do a review, just have some fun with it.
Hey dude im a massive fan of your videos and i love how you speak the truth about these games and i was wondering if you could do a review on fall out because my friend says its really good but other games hes recommended to me to buy have not been so good.
Andreas: I’m assuming you are a swede just like me, but there are actually several lines that are partly, or completely in Swedish. I mean, there are lines like “vid balders balle” (translated: “by Balder’s balls”. said during chapter 2, think it is a reference to a swedish show called “hem till midgård”). Mostly they are just mixing between swedish, english, and random gibberish though
I WILL buy this game. As soon as it gets its Badass Seal of Approval. Maybe even before. In the beginning of the video, my mouth was watering and I had plans for the game with my friends. But once you talked about the bugs I was like, “Uhhh…. I’ll wait.”
Ive played the game and they do actually speak with a little swedish accent + they sometimes use swedish words
i would play this if my pc would process it
Hey Angry Joe, good informative review, but I’ve got to say that the audio of you and your friends playing the game seems needless and you probably should edit it out. It is good that your having fun with the reviews and stuff, but that seems more appropriate for a Lets Play. It’s not terrible or anything, but it just gets distracting trying to watch the game play footage like that. Maybe some of your other fans like it but I don’t really care for it.
The review was good, that just bugged me.
The game lacks a huge amount of game rooms. You’ll be lucky if you even find 1 server without a password. I own the game but I think that single players better. Most servers have huge pings you’ll be lucky to find one under 200.
Wow, haha that’s not what Swedish sounds like! But it’s always fun to be zinged
Great video.
It’s how swedish sound to Americans. That Gibberish is basically how Americans immitate swedes if they are doing it for comedy.
