Omg, I picked up the labo VR as gifts for my family. I got 3 of them. Yes they're awesome buttttt.....I'm the one making all the damn toy-cons!!! Aaaffhgh@$%!!!!! They're taking me forever to make lol.... at first it was cool, but after the 2nd box I started going mad lol!!!
@@SwitchUpYt Haha thanks. I do keep a smile on my face while making them.😁I have one more to go today. So far my fav is the camera/scuba diver one. The kid likes the gun(of course lol) and mom likes the bird. It would have been the best xmas ever, I'm suprised they didnt wait until then. We sure couldn't lol
Yeah. I'm actually surprised that not many know about the switch. Natsume is tarnishing and cashing in on the Harvest Moon name while only the most dedicated fans know that the title has changed to Story of Seasons.
@@SaberisloveSaberislife Yeah! I haven't played Harvest moon sense Magical Melodies on game cube witch in my option was the last great harvest moon game!
Farming/gathering? Mining? Animal husbandry? Post-apocalyptic setting? Sign me up! I like that it’s not as linear either and you’re more open to explore. I definitely get that Stardew Valley feeling from the review. Great job Mark! I want to pick this up now... I’m a big fan of MMO’s (sank a lot of years into WoW haha) so I hope someday they add multiplayer to this too. I like that it’s not just farming game. Can I leave my farm for a day or so and it won’t implode?
I know this is a late comment, but if you are reading this and live in the US, buy this right now! It's on sale for only $7.49! Definitely worth it! If you like Stardew Valley, you'll enjoy this as well.
I've owned it on PC since early access. Just got it on Switch for the same sale price! I understand the port version isn't up to par with PC, but for $7.49 it's worth it!
Initially played a quick trial on the PC, and was instantly hooked. That was a year ago. Just this week, with the soft copy being 50% off at the eShop, I purchased a copy for switch. Loading times are longer compared to the PC loading time, but the controls are easily superior. I still love it.
Yep..heard its been delayed til may 14th. ( the date at my local place says may, ( Im in canada btw) just actually finally saw the physical copy online at my local gamestore tonight & i was so excited.. then i found out that news. They say its a manufacturing problem ( wonder what that means?) Hope they can sort whatever it is out..
@@PopCultureFan_ I got an email from the site I ordered from that it would arrive today, plus a code for the pre-order stuff. We'll see, now I'm doubtful I'll receive anything😂🙇♀️
Luckily I have a day off and I didn’t realise I was playing my time at Portia till 5 am that’s how addictive this game is such a relaxing fun game and definitely worth a buy if you enjoy these life sims and with subsequent updates that will put it on the same version that’s on pc I can only imagine i will be spending even more time in Portia
This game have been on stream for over a year. I've played the heck out of this game. If you like harvest moon and stardew valley you will love this game. It's less so farming and has an emphasis on building things. You are pretty much an engineer and build everything from scratch. You fix up the town by building bridges, bus stops, the buses themselves, and many more things.
I love this game. The loading screens when it first came out literally made me go “this isn’t for me”. They fixed that a bit so I still play. I’m also gonna get the physical copy 😊
At first I was gonna wait for the physical release here in the US... but between this review and the price difference, I DON'T THINK I CAN STOP MYSELF FROM DOWNLOADING IT. 😭 Thank you, sir.
I've really enjoyed this game so far. It reminds me of Harvest Moon. I love all the little festivities and details. The 3D, full camera game experience is what I prefer. I'm not so crazy about side scrolling and cell shaded games. This one is SO worth it!
Later when you upgrade your assembly station it links all of your chests together and auto crafts in a que if you have the materials. Forges get automated among other things.
Solid review, I like that you pointed out the flaws but also the strengths the game has. Definitely looks like an amazing game, will be buying the physical version for sure.
@@psycho6ninja954 it's definitely the same feeling. I have sunk over 300 hours in Stardew Valley. I've sunk about 5 hours into this today and as far as I can see there's definitely more to do.
Great stuff Blair! Been playing this one for about a month now and it just gets better. I find it more rewarding than SV but I love that games co-op so. They're both amazing to be fair. Mark
I’ve been impressed by the scope of this game, and the variety of things to do. It lacks a little polish (I’m surprised you didn’t dock points for the voice acting), but otherwise it feels like a needed expansion of what this genre can be. The Story of Seasons franchise (what Harvest Moon is called now) has slipped a bit recently, with their last game feeling limited and lackluster compared to what other studios are doing. I hope Marvelous Inc. is taking notes, and can come back strong. Rune Factory 4 is the best of that franchise, so I’m looking forward to the Special edition for Switch. Though compared to Portia, it might seem simplistic and grindy. It does, however, have some of the best relationships and characters I’ve seen. I’m hoping they knock Rune Factory 5 out of the park.
This was a great comment. It's so nice to read stuff like this - you clearly know your stuff about these types of games. I might have to pick your brain next time! Hope you enjoyed the review. Mark
I did enjoy the review, and I love seeing people get into the relaxing addictiveness of the genre. I like exploding heads in Borderlands as much as the next person, but I can spend just as many hours tending crops and preparing gifts for townsfolk. I’m no expert, just a passionate casual.
Currently watching the review again and reading comments because it's currently 7.49USD. Think I'm gonna pick this up because I'm about to finish Graveyard Keeper (which I also picked up thanks to you).
Just downloaded for free when I saw it on game pass. Cant believe I've never heard of this game. After playing harvest moon back in the day and more recently stardew valley, this game looks amazing. So excited to get into it
I have never been a person who plays games on the computer. My boyfriend convinced me to buy this game. I'm absolutely hooked! I find it very interesting. I love the variety. I have spent a lot of hours on this game. That's something I have never done with a computer game. I recommend it to anyone.
Hi ! I don't like this kind of weird-proportioned graphics but the way you're talking about it is making me think that I should look beyond that... I should give it a try some day. Thank you !
I honestly thought this was just a 3D Stardew Valley and another redundant game; but the review defo shows how the game is unique on its own and has such a large world to explore and do. It seems more like a mix of animal crossing and stardew valley with added elements!
This game has been on my steam wishlist since I heard about it. But I recently bought a switch a few days ago, awaiting Animal Crossing New Horizons. Was reminded of this games existence because of a video that was a list of games to play while we wait for ACNH. I only have a handful of games for my switch right now, and none of them can hold my attention for more than half an hour. Seeing as it's the same price on steam, I think I'm going to take the plunge and get the Switch version... Thanks for the review!
I didn't know I needed a "higher level of production Switch games review channel" in my life before watching this video. Subbed. Edit: Although giving scores in a video review is a bit useless, as your description says way more about the game than a score. But I can look over that.
Reminds me of a 3d stardew valley, I may pick it up for my daughter😁 lol no multiplayer 😰, but team17, hmm doesn't look to bad but I can't wait for Sims on switch hopefully soon. Great review 👍😀
switch version like a low - med setting from PC, but im still enjoying this game i think they will downgrade the graphic or something Thankyou for the review finally bought this game xD
I saw this game in the shops today and was thinking if you should do a review. I had an eye on this game, and now I know it's worth getting. My day just keeps getting better
"You'll never know of the load times that took three minutes to leave your house." Played Morrowind as a teen on the Xbox in 2001. Load times now - even messed up ones - are a breeze. I just sit and am grateful it's not 2001 LOL!
I've put 40+ hours on my Switch, and as fun and addictive as it is, I couldn't resist on buying it on Steam. And now I regret spending money on the Switch version. Even after lots of improvements, the Switch version has got loads of stutters, low framerate, huuge loading times when entering/leaving places (not to mention loading your game/save, which still takes 3-5 minutes) and having to wait for the inventory/assembly station to load every time you want to access it gets incredibly annoying very quickly. None of those have I experienced on the PC. 60fps+, almost no loading anywhere(whereas you spend a lot of time looking at the loading screen on Switch), voiceovers (which are missing on the Switch, no surprise there), the animations and movements are pure joy for your eyes and managing equipment (especially when you have dozens of chests, which - trust me - you'll need fairly quickly) is a million times faster and easier with a mouse and a more responsive UI. Overall, it's an amazing game, which you'll get instantly addicted to - but if you can, save yourselves trouble and buy it on PC. Thanks for reading!
Definitely was hesitant to buy, but you definitely changed that! It almost even has a Farmville-esk touch to it as well to the expanded Stardew Minecrafty feel
That's exactly my thoughts. Luckily my daughter and I could just sit and play together and plan the farm etc but it would have been nice to split screen it. Mark
I love games like this and bought this day one, sadly it was pretty much unplayable with huge problems and ever after 2-3 patches it's god awful and now it's long since deleted and I'm back on Stardew. What a shame as it looked so promising
I saw this game as a pre-order and really wanted it! I plan on watching this video when I get home to see if it's worth my time. I love these sorts of video games. Team 17 make fantastic games. This game kind of reminds me of Fantasy Life. EDIT: I love the way you guys review games! Almost finished with the video (I decided to watch it early... I couldn't wait haha). Great video!
Hahaha thanks for watching my friend, you're a star. This is a brilliant game to be fair I like it much more than the final score but I have to be as impartial as possible. Mark
I’m super excited for this game! I ordered the physical which is out I believe May 14th, 16? I forget.. but yeah this will keep me busy until Animal Crossing comes out. Seeing as how I already put over 300 hours into Stardew Valley, this one will def scratch the itch I have felt waiting for Animal Crossing!
Really interested in this game, and after this review I shall be picking it up.. Just need to find time to play it as I'm currently addicted to footie manager.
Glad this was good one game can't wait for animal crossing switch & Rune Factory 4 &5 those game will explode the switch xD. Thanks for the review definitely on my list keep it up !!
Bought this on early access for PC last year and it's amazing. I've pre-ordered the digital switch ver and so far it's good. The cons: - slow loading screen - sudden error when loading (which made me lost a day progress) - a bit of wonky movement and buttons Other than that this game is golden and pretty nice if you like HM or RF series! The characters on the game are pretty nice although a bit bland on some places, the dungeons are decent and the monsters are pretty good. Personally I'll give this 8/10 Because after you got everything and progress further into the story there's a lot of more interesting things to do
The updates and patches that were released for the PC version ages ago will finally be released on consoles next American summer. Then, I'll resume playing it.
@@SwitchUpYt philippines, where you can see people get crucified during holy week 😂. Then, probably at the end of the month i'll be living in oman. New job 😂
it saddens me when i think that games like this is based on harvest moon and yet harvest moon creators can't produce a game as beautiful as this. c'mon harvest moon is the predecessor of all the farming games right?
I know this is old but the new Harvest Moon games aren't made by the original people. The company split and now the Story of Seasons games are the actual Harvest Moon games and the people that own the name Harvest Moon keep releasing awful games
just picked this up on switch seems like a cozy game to play when i wona chill got it for £8 on sale wish i could of picked up physical but i couldnt turn that sale down
Gullysquad I think switchups score is on point. I played it all day yesterday and it’s definitely addicting and fun but the game itself is sorta buggy and the load times are pretty excruciating 😖. Games not perfect but I’d say it’s worth the 30 bux if your into this sort of thing.
You're going to be fighting over who gets to play. I suggest play together etc like my daughter and I did. It's fun planning stuff out and coming back to some new stuff having been made. Mark
They took some key fitures out of the game and even then the lag and loading screens are real. If you don't have a PC give it a go.. if you have a PC i would strongly recommend to buy it on steam.
The very first load in is longer. After that it's fine. I usually just have the game running so that not an issue for me. If you tend to switch back and forth between many games you'll notice it more. Mark
Hey SwitchUp family we hit 28,000 subs! Thanks to you! This one has eaten so much of my Time I’ve had a blast! Anyone picking this up? Mark
But I still have stardew valley on my backlog!!! What have you done guys xD

It plays like Stardew Valley and Minecraft had a baby. It's pretty fun. Played a demo on Steam.
It's like Story of Seasons, Rune Factory and Stardew Valley all in one which is great since I'm a big fan of farming simulation.
Definitely. Mark
I'm actually happy that you chose to say Story of Seasons instead of Harvest Moon.
Yeah. I'm actually surprised that not many know about the switch. Natsume is tarnishing and cashing in on the Harvest Moon name while only the most dedicated fans know that the title has changed to Story of Seasons.

From heroin to cocaine? :D

I’ve been impressed by the scope of this game, and the variety of things to do. It lacks a little polish (I’m surprised you didn’t dock points for the voice acting), but otherwise it feels like a needed expansion of what this genre can be. The Story of Seasons franchise (what Harvest Moon is called now) has slipped a bit recently, with their last game feeling limited and lackluster compared to what other studios are doing. I hope Marvelous Inc. is taking notes, and can come back strong.
Rune Factory 4 is the best of that franchise, so I’m looking forward to the Special edition for Switch. Though compared to Portia, it might seem simplistic and grindy. It does, however, have some of the best relationships and characters I’ve seen. I’m hoping they knock Rune Factory 5 out of the park.

I'm buying this game today thanks to your review, Glen!
Looks and sounds better than my expectations 👍
At 2.57 minutes left the song sounds like sims1 soundtrack lol. Great video will. Cop now its £8.00
This game would have been an instant buy with co-op play. Looks like a chill game to and play with my Minecraft addicted daughter.
That's exactly my thoughts. Luckily my daughter and I could just sit and play together and plan the farm etc but it would have been nice to split screen it. Mark
People are going to eat this game up like a Milk Cake .. Looking forward to Animal crossing but this will due . Thanks guys 🍻mate ..
You're most welcome! Cheers! Mark
What is Milk Cake
Great video mate! Im a big fan of stardew valley and cant wait to try this out! Keep up the goodwork
I love games like this and bought this day one, sadly it was pretty much unplayable with huge problems and ever after 2-3 patches it's god awful and now it's long since deleted and I'm back on Stardew. What a shame as it looked so promising
the downloading time is it?
@@rymemuhammad2954 Nope. it's just a huge mess and there's no more patches because they've abandoned it.
I saw this game as a pre-order and really wanted it! I plan on watching this video when I get home to see if it's worth my time. I love these sorts of video games.
Team 17 make fantastic games.
This game kind of reminds me of Fantasy Life.
EDIT: I love the way you guys review games! Almost finished with the video (I decided to watch it early... I couldn't wait haha). Great video!
Hahaha thanks for watching my friend, you're a star. This is a brilliant game to be fair I like it much more than the final score but I have to be as impartial as possible. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt Thanks, Mark! I just bought it and it's downloading as I type this. Thanks again for the great review! :)
@@BoganBrett you're welcome. Remember it's a slow starter but it will EAT your life lol. In a good way. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt Thanks for the heads-up, haha. :)
It reminds at the non battle parts in persona 4 or 5, the daily life, and I wish there was a game that only was that part, I think I found it
That's really cool. It's just so chilled I love it. Mark
I’m super excited for this game! I ordered the physical which is out I believe May 14th, 16? I forget.. but yeah this will keep me busy until Animal Crossing comes out. Seeing as how I already put over 300 hours into Stardew Valley, this one will def scratch the itch I have felt waiting for Animal Crossing!
Robert my dude you're going to love this so much. Prepare to not get out much. Mark
I got the switch version two days ago. ..
Really interested in this game, and after this review I shall be picking it up.. Just need to find time to play it as I'm currently addicted to footie manager.
Hahaha not another one! Glen would be proud! This is a great game and will suck you in. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt I bought based of the review lol, god damn I can't stop!
Awesome game and even better review. With the current sale (66% off) and your review, it'a a now brainer: Proceed to purchase. 😁 TY
I like being able to spar with anyone, that shit is so sick. I just think the male character creator is a little meh.
Yeah I'd agree. Mark
Glad this was good one game can't wait for animal crossing switch & Rune Factory 4 &5 those game will explode the switch xD. Thanks for the review definitely on my list keep it up !!
Cheers mate, what are you playing at the mo? Mark
Wait what? Rune factory 4 and 5 are coming to the switch????
@@SwitchUpYt hi Mark I been playing farm together like always xD Darksider 1 Moonlighter. :) And tomorrow cuphead
@@sladey21 yep thay are coming to switch its hard to believe I know xD.
@@RAY19740 Holy bejoly!!! Yesss
Bought this on early access for PC last year and it's amazing.
I've pre-ordered the digital switch ver and so far it's good. The cons:
- slow loading screen
- sudden error when loading (which made me lost a day progress)
- a bit of wonky movement and buttons
Other than that this game is golden and pretty nice if you like HM or RF series!
The characters on the game are pretty nice although a bit bland on some places, the dungeons are decent and the monsters are pretty good.
Personally I'll give this 8/10
Because after you got everything and progress further into the story there's a lot of more interesting things to do
Looks like Farmville Stardew Valley got an upgrade.
For shizzle! Mark
Best review I’ve found so far . Thank you.
The updates and patches that were released for the PC version ages ago will finally be released on consoles next American summer. Then, I'll resume playing it.
Love the look of this game. Still enjoying Stardew though. I very much think I'll be getting this at some point. My daughter will love it
Yeah it's great man. Very familiar but also has enough going on that's fresh. Mark
I'll pick this up next week after holy week.
Cool. What country you from dude? Mark
@@SwitchUpYt philippines, where you can see people get crucified during holy week 😂.
Then, probably at the end of the month i'll be living in oman. New job 😂
Some competition for stardew valley
Oh for sure, I'm enjoying this as much at this stage - if not (dare I say it) a little more? Mark
Damn this looks relaxing as!
That's exactly it. Super chill. Mark
As what?
ok so it's a modern harvest moon.
Essentially yeah. Mark
Hi Mark, can certainly see the appeal of these kinds of games, but not quite for me. Back to Hellblade I go 😂
Hehe yeah different strokes for different folks. Mark
it saddens me when i think that games like this is based on harvest moon and yet harvest moon creators can't produce a game as beautiful as this. c'mon harvest moon is the predecessor of all the farming games right?
I know this is old but the new Harvest Moon games aren't made by the original people. The company split and now the Story of Seasons games are the actual Harvest Moon games and the people that own the name Harvest Moon keep releasing awful games
just picked this up on switch seems like a cozy game to play when i wona chill got it for £8 on sale wish i could of picked up physical but i couldnt turn that sale down
Yeah found it on sale for $7.49 so I am deciding to get it digital
👍 Thanks for the review. It was just what I needed to decide whether to buy this game or not.
You're most welcome Vikki. Mark
I’m creating my character as I watch your vid!!
It’s so good! Mark
is it good?
Gullysquad I think switchups score is on point. I played it all day yesterday and it’s definitely addicting and fun but the game itself is sorta buggy and the load times are pretty excruciating 😖. Games not perfect but I’d say it’s worth the 30 bux if your into this sort of thing.
I get motion sickness just watching this video. It will be wonderful if the camera could be pushed farther away... I love farming games!
Oof, I was worried because my gf pre ordered this physically. But it doesn't look bad and I might play it too.
You're going to be fighting over who gets to play. I suggest play together etc like my daughter and I did. It's fun planning stuff out and coming back to some new stuff having been made. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt I can't wait to try it! But the shipment of the games has been delayed in my area for around 2 more weeks or so... :(
Are you shaming me for enjoying kicking trees?!
Hehehe never!! Mark
They took some key fitures out of the game and even then the lag and loading screens are real.
If you don't have a PC give it a go.. if you have a PC i would strongly recommend to buy it on steam.
Having it portable is just so nice. I'm sat out in the sun playing it right now. Mark
I would buy this over animal crossing any-day of the week :) I’m going to pick this one up since its on sale rn. £12 is a bargain for this.
Not my speed but one never knows what the future holds!
Hehehe exactly! Mark
I play this game on PC, and yes, it gets very addicting!
It really does! Mark
Currently on sale (90% off) and priced at 2.99 usd.
This is like ni no kuni mixed with stardew and Zelda
This game is currently $7.50 on the Switch eShop for Cyber Monday sale. I had to buy it...
I hope there is more character customization in this than it seems
How long are the load times after patch? I heard it takes forever to load when starting the game.
The very first load in is longer. After that it's fine. I usually just have the game running so that not an issue for me. If you tend to switch back and forth between many games you'll notice it more. Mark
