    Clarity: to reiterate what was said in the review. At this stage, the game is like an early Minecraft or Terraria in terms of content but the core gameplay is there. Unlike those games, the Monkey Mimick system will take a lot of time to fully utilise and when you've mastered you'll have your monkey army filling an island! Remember you can get them to follow you and take them to your "home" Island. Good luck!
    Bugs: A couple of things I wanted to mention. I've had no crashes, I did have a bad bug where I couldn't rotate certain things you can build but thought it was me being silly as the chairs can be rotated. Turns out it's a bug! Last bug I had was a minor visual one. One of my little images on items got "stuck" as something it wasn't!
    Here is our Suvivalists review - it might be worth checking out our recent list of other survival games on Switch if you’re a fan of the genre. Check it out here - ua-cam.com/video/nayBWb5ExMw/v-deo.html . Seeeeya! Mark

      Sorry but i disagree with this review. I've played the full release and i highly recommend no one buy it. Also i unlocked everything in less than 5 hours and there's barely anything to do after a very short time.

    • @SwitchUpYt
      @SwitchUpYt  3 роки тому +5

      It's not a problem to disagree - I mentioned in the review that you'll unlock the basic recipes quite quickly, but there are secrets and the templs runs to do and playing with a friend is very fun. I also mentioned the similarities to an early build of Terraria or Minecraft. The core is here for a great game it will need expansion over time.

      Awwww this one looks adorable! Bet it would be fun to see exactly how massive you can make your base camp and if course growing a literal monkey army is always enticing!!! 💕

      Hey Switchup! I was wondering, is the co-op mode available on the same screen requires additional pair of joy-cons or can you play it with only one pair? Thank you!

    This looks and feels like don't starve together, but more brighter and friendlier like stardew valley. Except the monkeys, they are great.

  • @xelthos2051
    @xelthos2051 3 роки тому +52

    Burnt out on survival games just from some other marathons with friends, but this does have a nice look to it. I'm loving the monkey system though, reminds me of the zombies from graveyard keeper but has the learning and teaching style like the ghost system from Forza games, kind of cool to have to teach then what you want to do.

      @@Mrdeniro100 having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries. I just meant I enjoyed hearing them saying things in their British accents (I am from the UK) as most of the people I watch doing games reviews are American. I have nothing against Americans or the wide range of American accents (or other languages and accents from around the world for that matter) but them speaking in their very British way made me think of the game review tv shows I watched when I was young (very late 80’s to early 90’s) called Gamesmaster. I didn’t want to come across wrong like a Xenophobe or something saying something about their accents as I know some people can take things the wrong way sometimes. I puts me off leaving posts or comments on things quite often as it seems someone gets offended by anything that is said nowadays. It was my rubbish attempt to cover myself from bad reply’s I guess :-)

    This looks lovely!
    I've been looking for a cute survival game to play with my SO, this could be perfect especially at a discount, I do wonder how bad the controls are, seeing this is an early review with bugs most likely fixed by now.
    Delay on controls can range from well implemented "challenging survival" to egregious unplayable slog, while it doesn't have to be dark souls rolls levels of speed I am a bit worried especially because I love playing melee over range. Would you say it was bearable aside for running?
    I'm also worried about network, the switch is not the best on any wireless 😅
    I think I'll give it a try, at least every other elements seems perfect.
