Fantastic review! Thanks a ton! :) /MS
Thanks for making an immense game. (Mark)
Yes this one is spot on! I want it in its physical form. Are you planning any updates for the game which adresses these minor issues? Perhaps make the onscreen indicators/text bigger?
@@TheHelium999 The physical release is scheduled for February, next year. We're already certified as an official publisher and are now working on final deal terms with our distribution partners. Currently, we're gathering feedback from the community and will release a patch with some improvements probably towards the end of this year. Stay tuned! :) ^MS
I’ve been waiting for this since it was announced. Getting it for Christmas!
ROCKFISH Games I love having opnions. Specially about controls and UI. Is there some particular space you got to gather, or can I just post it in the steam discussions?
For those still on the fence, here's some more about the game:
>The encounters with NPCs like Elek are short mission chains, but they are paced really really well! There are special benefits for completing them, like getting help from a faction jumping in for a sector.
>The main storyline is multi-layered. Just when you reach the end, there's more that unfolds.
>There is an entire "Enhancements" system seperate from the perks to upgrade your ship. You find these in special places by scanning them. Some offer minor boosts, like 5% more energy; others offer HUGE bonuses but with a downside, like 25% more damage and infinite weapon energy, but no shielding for the ship. Ships can slot up to 3 of these and can redefine how you play a run!
>The Codex, while only moderately sized, provides a ton of interesting background behind the setting to read through. HIVE, your AI companion, will also tell you more about the universe as you play.
>The main character, Adam Roslin, might be off-putting at first.. But remember, he's a clone with only fragments of who he is. He grows into his own, and as confusion fades a pretty strong personality emerges. I went from disliking him to wanting more of him, i.e. a sequel!
Hope that helps make your decision, cheers
Love this!! Thank you, it's so difficult to cram everything in! (Mark)
I haven't even got to use any enhancements yet.... just bought my first 10k ship and noticed a different weapon set up so looking forward to diving in a little further now!!!
You just solidified my decision on buying this game.. I am downloading the game right now and i thank you for taking the time to write your post..you sold me
Thank you. Super helpful!
Yes but....can I roll the ship to turn (like ace combat or other flight games ) .....or is it a kind of banked turn kinda deal
Hi guys thanks so much to the developers for the review copy - this is a VERY vast game and I hope I did it justice. Let me know what you guys think down in the comments. We have about 3 more BIG reviews in the works so hit that silly notification bell if you want to be there for them. Much ❤️. Mark
Do you guys have a review planned out for “Gris”? This game looks amazing, and I’m not sure what to completely think about it yet and wouldn’t mind seeing the opinion of switch up ^.^ but the art style of this platformer is spectacular. It also comes out today I think :)
Evan Sevin-Chauvin yes it would be out tonight or tomorrow latest
There's something wrong with this video. Every time I try to watch it on my PC it makes the browser freeze and I have to use task manager and end task. This only happens with this video.
Lee Gillaspie that sucks. As you're the first to have that problem in 12000 I'm going to venture that the problem lies with your computer. (Mark)
It does sound great. Did you play hand-held and docked or just docked?
Your reviews are some of the best, detailed and enjoyable, keep it up!
What an awesome thing to say! Thank you my dude! (Mark)
Your reviews are great. Perfect audio, great scoring system. Great work, man!
Wow, what a compliment, thanks! Glen and I have worked really hard to refine it! Just uploading my GRIS review - let me know what you think! (Mark)
Great review, I'm not much into spaceships and the like, but you cannot deny those graphics. Pure space eye candy, yum!
Amazing Atmosphere of the Video ! One of the best videos i saw on youtube for a while!
Strain WOW - what an amazing compliment I love that!! Hopefully you'll be joining the channel! Got a couple more reviews out in the next day or so. (Mark)
Great review. I was a pre-alpha backer for this game on Steam. The Devs are really friendly and helpful to the fans (heck, they responded to those wanting a Switch version... ;) ). Ordered the PS4 physical version and eagerly await the physical Switch version (supposed to come out in a few months).
Cheers Greg really appreciate that they seem really cool! (Mark)
Space games are a genre I haven't had explored enough, but with this game I'm feeling hyped about it. Definitely picking this one up for my Switch. Thanks for a great review.
I just bought this in 2022 on Switch and love it. I'm hooked and the way they integrate the characters with your character who dies over and over again is solid. Honestly the story is intriguing enough that it keeps me interested and the characters I meet along the way are enjoyable to talk to and do missions for. Also yes the 3rd control scheme is as perfect as it can get. I will say that having boost on the thumb stick gave me gamers thumb which hasn't happened since the NES days. So if you have a controller with extra back triggers just set boost to one of them and gamer thumb be gone. Anyway, awesome game and thanks for covering it!
Bought only now on your recommendation thanks, I love that I can see a game and look for a review on your history and trust it, I am loving the game thanks
This video review has been my Bible for information on this game, thanks a bunch and I really cannot wait until February
Love that Dennis - thanks so much for watching the channel. It’s really appreciated. (Mark)
This was an absolutely wonderful review. I've been considering buying it on Switch as I already have a PC copy and this told me everything I needed to know. Thank you :D
Brilliant in-depth review, which I originally missed out on. I’m definitely keeping a eye out for this game now 😎
So happy you reviewed this. Was looking for my next fix after destroying Starlink. Great review as always!
Thanks Tabris - I'm so hooked on this. Really Great! (Mark)
Excellent review. Thank you. I'll be picking this one up once I clear a small backlog.
Nice one Shawn! Welcome to the channel! (Mark)
Love your reviews. Keep up the good work Mark!
The fact that they got this game running on the switch so well and it looks so good it’s pretty amazing for a AA studio. I can’t wait to see what they do with the second game in late 2022 or early 2023 with the next generation consoles. But this is absolutely amazing for switch owners.
yes 🙏
Love your reviews! Very well put together! I have this for PC but think I'll buy it for Switch also.
Great game! Thank you. Mark
I need this Interstellar remix!
Link in the description 😀 (Mark)
I knew I wasn't crazy. I was sitting here not paying attention to anything the review said, because I was certain this track was from Interstellar, and was to busy trying to tune him out to listen.
😂😂😂😂 sorry bro! I love that film so much! (Mark)
Thank you it was bugging me (in a good way)
I had no clue this game was coming to Switch. This is awesome that they got such a gorgeous game running on Switch!
Really is cool! (Mark)
Gotta love Interstellar...one of my favorite movies of all time
Same! (Mark)
Deffo...
Totally overrated
People who say it’s underrated just didn’t understand it lol.
TARS
25,99€ until 18th April in Europe.
Many thanks for your great review, it convinced me to buy it.
Great review! That Freelancer mention too. ♥️
Anyone else think the intro and outro music sounds like it's from Interstellar?
Switching from control scheme A to C changes the game entirely! So much better that way. 🙂
Glad I'm not the only one who found that! (Mark)
Right there with you on the custom controls. Long live Inverted Y!
I know this review is a year old, but I just purchased the physical version of this game this week and I love it so far . Great review. I only have a Switch Lite so I get the blurry visuals . I put the cart in and checked for an update, but still nothing yet as of Oct. 2020. I wish they would allow you to add custom sound tracks too, that would be sweet. Oh yeah, Nintendo wouldn't allow me to register for my points with game either. Something about the region code. Oh well. Just thought I'd mention that .
Cheers mate! Mark
This is the review that made me a subscriber. Keep it up
Thanks Phil, love hearing that! (Mark)
Great review. You've just earned a new Sub. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Colin, really appreciate that! (Mark)
2:20 lovely color scheme ;) This looks really fun and I do like a good space shooter. Haven't played through one in ages, probably even back to Rogue Squadron. Was thinking of picking up Star Link but now I have a tougher decision between that and this one. Great review, Mark!
Cheers my friend was really happy we got a code for this one. Not seen many reviews about! (Mark)
@@SwitchUpYt I had actually totally forgotten about this one. Nice surprise that it turned out to be a decent game!
Jace Glover I miss the rogue squadron series. That was just a pure blast to play both on 64 and GameCube. I remember having my pre-ordered copy days before the GameCube was released
@@hawksleygamingproject4164 yes those were very fun and I felt the difficulty was tuned really well for getting all the golds. I would love to see a resurgence of the series!
I say get both Everspace and Star Link. I did !! 😁
I already have Elite Dangerous on my PC so I might get this for the Switch.
Love Ellie dangerous, between they and Galaxy on Fire 2 on iOS (when out and about) I lost many wonderful hours in space. (Mark)
Just going through the tutorial as I have been waiting all year for this, glad you can change the control set-up... Just got this and a fist time smash player so plenty to keep me busy through December :)
Oh what a fantastic Christmas it is for us Switch users. That's some selection of games right there! Happy days! (Mark)
@@SwitchUpYt still got mark of the ninja to finish and also just got mega drive collection delivered the other day so that's me sorted over the festive period!
Plus I'm just getting into warframe so I'm very spoiled... love my switch after a slow start and all the doubts I had about it alone have disappeared with all these games I now have... couldn't be happier!
Your review just sold me on this. As soon as i finish hollow knight i will be picking this up!
Great stuff! (Mark)
One of the best VR games ever, now on the Switch. Hell yes.
Great game! (Mark)
This has been very useful, been contemplating for ages whether to get this or not but after seeing this, this'll be an eventual buy for me
Appreciate that Sean - we have tons of reviews on the channel and a sales roundup video that covers some other games you might enjoy! (Mark)
Great review! I totally want to play this now.
I needed a Portable game that I would enjoy and get my moneys worth out of, this does that for me and your review has honestly made me even more encouraged too buy a switch and get this day one
Thanks my friend, this is an absolutely brilliant game. If I were to re review it the score would go up after I've added 35 hours more playtime. Great game! Be sure to subscribe and join us for future reviews. Welcome to the SwitchUp family! (Mark)
@@SwitchUpYt didnt even needed too worry, I've already subscribed from the get-go
I love this Channel, amazing reviews
Share that love with your friends - we'd appreciate it! (Mark)
Nice review. I'm sold, downloading it right now xD
Picked this up since it finally went on sale, couldn't agree more about the controls. The 3rd option is amazing compared to the default
Great review, I was on the fence about this but now I need to get this game.
Excellent! Glad we could help! (Mark)
I've got the same game on PC and friggin love it! It reminds me of some of the best space shooters from the N64.
Yeah I totally feel that! (Mark)
Just picked this up , looking forward to playing it
Awesome job. Great heads up on handheld vs docked performance. Strong contender for a sale pickup.
I think they patch it, it's a great game this one! (Mark)
It was just on sale a few days ago for 20% off...
Great vid- subbed!
top notch video as usual, thank you! I got star link and smash plus a bunch other backlogged think I am tapped out w/ game purchases for this year!
Thanks Cp Appreciate it as ever. You a space fan as well? (Mark)
Thanks For The Great Review. I Think I May Pick This Up ^_^ .
I have been watching loads of reviews in the last two days (all positive) since I first heard about this game. This review is by far the best though. I have purchased in the sale and have a SeriesX ready to play in 60fps later this evening, and I absolutely can't wait. This game will push me through 300,000GS within an hour or two and I'll stop achievements for awhile and just enjoy this incredible game. Let's GO!!
Man what a great review at first I thought this game was meh but after your highly detailed review and gameplay footage definitely a pick up
Thanks brother! A really cool game I was so grateful to the developers for providing us the game. I know demand was really high. (Mark)
JUST found out about this game from a free magazine from Walmart. As an oldschool fan of Privateer this game will be on my Christmas list this year!
I picked up the other space game for Switch because out was cheaper and I instantly regreted it. This looks much better!
Also keep an eye on REBEL GALAXY OUTLAW. Game looks amazing!
Thanks I'll check it out! (Mark)
Thank you. Best review I found.
Great review, and...sold!
Nice review. Game looks solid bar that elevator music track. Price also seems more reasonable than many other titles. Now they just need to GTA the game, get us spacewalking and taking other crafts.
Thanks my friend, yeah this is a great game. It actually doesn't really need the ability to take other vehicles as you level the ships you have. It could just use a few more ships to buy. (Mark)
I've been waiting for this one and haven't checked the eShop in a couple days, I'm totally gonna buy it now.
Yeah, it's a real gem and they did a great job with the port here! (Mark)
@@SwitchUpYt just bought it, I like it, I'm probably gonna buy it on PC cause damn, it looks fine on the Switch but it must be gorgeous on PC.
I don't even know what I'm doing half the time but I'm loving it XD
I just started at gamestop n didn't know it existed until i saw it today. Thx for the review, totally took it home with me.
How does it perform in handheld mode?
Damn, this game pretty awesome, I would probably buy this before Starlink? Adams *face* when he was being "restrained" 😆😆 (he didn't look happy)
He really didn't 😂! Many thanks for watching my friend. Appreciate it! (Mark)
This game is awesome. I have the PC version The rougelike element is nicely done. You dont feel like your staring over at Zero with the story either since your interactions with NPCs carry over.
Yeah, very clever indeed. I love this game! (Mark)
great review. i was thinking of getting something like this and might have to try it. or maybe that starlink game which i guess is quite different despite looking similar? thanks
Best reviewer so far well done.
I’d love to see a physical version of this eventually
Glen would whole heartedly agree with that! (Mark)
Physically released 11/12.
I love this game. It's been creeping into my smash time. :)
Haha! It's so good isn't it! I hope I did it justice! (Mark)
*Thank you SO much for sharing the piece of info on Controller Schemes....*
per the Not having motion-assist thing, I find that with how things work in Starlink it wasn't such an issue with Starfighter gameplay due to strong Aim/Targeting Assisting and good Look Acceleration. I'm guessing by looks similar is true here... ? /)'
Playing with the cockpit view is really rewarding and tough!
Yeah it's cool! Really like that way of playing. (Mark)
hello. i see it has a file size of 3.5gb, but can anyone tell me whether i'll still need to download stuff despite purchasing the physical copy? thanks.
Good review. Like the no bullshit approach :D
Cheers 🌟, we got fed up of certain big review channels not giving games the time and then giving COD 10/10 all the time. Figured we could do better lol. We're trying! (Mark)
Thanks Mark. Another one you have nailed. :)
This looks good, and I will probably pick it up, but nan I am hoping to someday get a new Escape Velocity Nova, I truly loved that game.
A classic for sure! (Mark)
I've watched this review before.
The game is on sale 50%off right now.
Gonna buy.
Was interested in this game as I would like some variety by owning a dog fight space shooter. I’m glad it exceeds expectations and looks solid.
I also think it’s different to what I thought as I was guessing RPG elements not metroidvania style
Hey dude, yeah this is definitely work a bash. Very cool game! (Mark)
@@SwitchUpYt would you prefer this over Starlink? What would be your reason?
What kind of elevator music plays where you are? I usually get "girl from Ipanema" or the like.
Loved this on PS4. Not sure I wanna spring for it again tho, I’ll wait to see how much it’s gonna be.
....shoulda watched TIL the end before I commented ☺️.
Hey Julian, yeah it's a very fun game indeed. I'm quite surprised how hooked I got and how fast! (Mark)
Its 40 usd
3£ on ps store atm
DrjamesyFeelGood the pricing discrepancy is really frustrating. I would love to play this on switch over PlayStation, but why would I pay an extra $35 to do so? It’s just silly.
This is on sale for $20 physical at Best Buy!
I need to buy it, but also need to save for animal crossing Switch console!!
That's elevator music only if I'm Neo riding the elevator to wreck mayhem on Agent Smith.
Sean Rooney 😂 it wasn't the best example but there are a few times it's just not on point. (Mark)
@@SwitchUpYt I understood what you meant. I actually like listening to the proverbial elevator smooth jazz while I'm at work, so I had to say something
Got the Stellar Edition for $17, great value. Thanks for the tip about Control Scheme 3, way better!
Yes indeed it's totally different with that. Mark
Wooah! That space is _gorgeous!_
Yeah it really is a good looking game for the most part. Definitely takes a visual hit in handheld though. (Mark)
it is different to control the movement and shooting of ship on switch ?
Those battles with the large ships make me smile picking this up at Gamestop for $19.99 cuz the eshop is charging $40. Cant wait to play this tomorrow.
Do you recommend it?
@@wrathpsp i recommend it if you like flying in space n shooting but i do suggest that you change the flight controls like Mark said.
This is a great channel! i can see this being the next 500k subs plus gaming news and reviews contender. Good work!
Let's find out!! That would be amazing. You going to be with us for the journey?? (Mark)
@@SwitchUpYt You know it!
Hiw would you say this compares to starlink? I mean if you had to choose one, which one would you choose?
Was waiting for this game since the beginning, hahahahaha wingman, ohhh that's the type of rouge like a love the most, thanks for the tip on the controls, yep definitely a proper rougelike, didn't think they would make it, at least the art makes me think of space, value is high for me, if the rougelike is good a would at least spend 100 hours, thanks for the video happy gaming :)
Cheers Daniel - it really is a great game this one. I'm going to put this on my projector tomorrow and play that! (Mark)
Mark. It's this virtual problem on the portable only switch lite? 9:40
This looks cool! I’ll get it when it’s on sale. Makes me want a decent star fox game. Sort it out Nintendo!!
Lol
Starlink battle for atlas on switch is basically starfox. He's in the whole game and it works good
Hi Mark! This game looks great! Might be worth a dive one I get round to finishing Starlink
Hey Joel, yeah i think you would enjoy this one definitely. It's lost a few points for its handheld blur but overall in gameplay terms this is solid! (Mark)
The editing drop at the beginning of the video is freaking amazing. Love you guys!
Starlancer was my favorite dreamcast game (wish it were ported to the switch!). Does this game come close to it in terms of dogfight ?
If my view is outside the ship how come hear noise in the vacuum of space?
Keep up the great work!
Thanks my friend! (Mark)
What resolution does it display in?
Is there any other good space games for the switch?
Want to try. Not on sale. And wondering if I should just wait for No Man Sky now??
great review mark... is thst the music to intersteller behind the vid? i love that film so hard. oh and you mentioned 2001.. yeh ..one of my fav's right there.
this looks good, very 'wing commander' if you rember that (even had mark hamil as voice) .
looks great, i do favour elite and NMS (yes i have always been an NMS fanboy) but recognise this as s great game. the lads on pc love it too.
Yeah, that music was a remix of Interstellar!! Love that! I'm a huge space fan in general. (Mark)
I picked this up and its really addictive and fun to play.
It's great isn't it! (Mark)
Just got it for 10$ I'm excited
Glad their games like this on switch, got both ps4 and switch with my brother and sometimes hard time trying find enough games for switch. We try balance Getting games for both consoles, so that way fi one person playing ps4 the other person can play the switch. So good to see this game
Thank you so much for this review! just got a switch and looking to add games to my console. This has been on my wish list since day one. Having a hard time deciding because of the price. OMG Nintendo EShop is brutal! Steam has this game at 3 dollars! LOL. Thanks again! I hope this is worth it!
You're welcome mate! Mark
Been waiting for this to drop really wanted to pick up a physical copy but I heard that will be next year. Anyway it looks awesome
Yeah, what are you going to do? Make the purchase or wait for physical? (Mark)
I'm definitely going to pick it up now. I can't wait till next year to play it looks to fun. I'll just have to pick it up physically once it comes out next year
This is my first switch game. Hope ur right about this!!!
Congratulations mark you make me want to pick it right away. xD. omg amazing review thank you. :)
You're a star - you a fan of the genre?? (Mark)
@@SwitchUpYt not big fun but I love game that inspired be star fox I have been so long away from this genre now im back with star link. And this game. :)
Also would people recommend "Debris Infinity" ? seems like may be fun....
