    I was wondering how it was going to look and perform on the Switch, but this looks fantastic!

      The side scrolling gameplay just makes sense on the switch as well . Picking this one up on switch instead of series x or ps5.

    • @esmooth919
      @esmooth919 8 місяців тому +1

      That's probably because this game was built with the switch in mind first, making it easy for all consoles to run it in optimal condition.

    Such a beautiful game. Just played the demo on my switch OLED and it’s AWESOME. Docked looks great too. I remember the original back in the day. Great game then and now. And a great review! Though I have a PS5 and a XBox Series S, I’ll choose the switch version because I want to play on the go, and btw, looks great on my gf’s switch lite, too. Finally a game release that is well polished out of the gate and will only get better with patches.

  • @ElasticLove12
    @ElasticLove12 9 місяців тому +3

    The sands of time was amazing to me mainly because it nailed 3 main things. Storytelling that felt natural and engaging, combat that felt intelligent you couldn’t just mash your way through every fight and the number of fights were well distributed you weren’t constantly running into enemies, and lastly traversal and movement. Entering a room from the top and having to find a way to safely descend was so refreshing and satisfying and the different ways you had to wall run and grab and cling to things made movement feel like a puzzle. So if this new game has those 3 elements I’m definitely excited

      It need not be so serious lol. They can create the "ideal" difficulty (normal) and the "easy" option simply "decreases life" and "increases your damage." It just makes it easier for casual gamers. That's it. They should strive for a main tailored difficulty, balanced and tweaked, and then a journalist mode that nerfs after the fact.
