    Love how at 3:25 you call it Road 69 lmao. Think you did a great job explaining the game, and really helped me make a decision on it! Thanks again Luke!

      😂 Someone noticed, I called it that in an email I sent to them as well, I always get the wrong thing stuck in my head and know I'm going to mess up somewhere lol. Glad I could help you out Steep 😁

      @@SwitchStars HAHAHAHA That's great! I mean, they did kinda ask for it, naming the game what they did. There are a lot more numbers out there that wouldn't invite the confusion, than that would.

      @Star or Shovelware In my head cannon, you _chose_ to call it that on purpose.

      Haha that is true 😁 to be honest I've done it in a ton of other reviews, zombies ate my Neighbourhood was before this 😂

    Thank you for this review. The preorder for this in open in a tab. You've helped me a bunch. I'm going to go for it.

      You're welcome Lun, I thought it was a fantastic game, but just be prepared to put up with some performance issues.

    • @lun_r
      @lun_r 3 роки тому +1

      Counting on a patch. The publisher store version has a fold-out map. Was close to buying it already just for that.

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  3 роки тому

      Yea hopefully they drop a patch to improve things Lun, the issues aren't game killing but I did find them a little off putting. I remember getting a map with fallout 3, I love random extras like that lol.

    I like the look of this. I'm going to wishlist it and wait for some patches, or, if no patches, a good sale. Great review, Luke. :)

    I mentioned on switch corner I was pissed about the frame rate issues and being half baked…but I ended up picking it up, and I have to say I happy with it. The frame rate don’t bother me at all.

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  3 роки тому +2

      Because of the format of its gameplay, the framerate doesnt have too much of an impact, I just found it took some of the immersion away which is a bit of a shame in such a story driven game.

      Yea I enjoyed it Scraps, I've always been a fan of narrative driven games and this one is a good one to chill with.

      It's a great game TK, I enjoyed playing it but sadly had to rate it down a little due to the current performance issues.

    5k subscribers! Well done mate! Congratulations. For me, this is the best channel for indie games on the Switch. I've bought a fair few of your recommendations and I've never been disappointed

      Thanks mralekito, I am going to put out a little thank you video this weekend and a Live Stream next weekend 😊

    Great review! This is what I needed to convince me to buy the game!
    Ps: Idk why but it gives me the vibes of Alice isnt dead (podcast)

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Jose, hope you enjoy it. Not sure if they've fixed the performance issues yet but it's still well worth a play.

  • @dazzianocolucci3538

    Has this had a patch or 2 since release. I think I'll be picking it up at some point. Cheers Lukey baby!

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  2 роки тому

      I am not entirely sure Dazz, I would have thought so but despite the performance issues it's still a decent play. Cheers mate 😁

    I think I’ll probably wait for a discount (or maybe some patches) before I pick this up. I admit the premise had me interested (although I am left dubious by having to keep an eye on health and money) but the issues it has means I’ll be holding off for the time being. Thanks for the review.

  • @deku812
    @deku812 3 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the review. Have this wishlisted, hope we get a patch to fix the performance issues. I tried the demo and even with the notifcable frame drops, it does still look rather nice.
    And the story is compelling.

  • @ruthurban1959
    @ruthurban1959 3 роки тому +3

    I want to get it on switch cause my current laptop can't run the game (which is kind of sad let's be honest)
    But when I played the demo the mini games with aiming felt a little off-putting. Either gonna wait for a patch or wait until I get my new computer and get it on that
    The game looks really interesting though! Thanks for the review

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  3 роки тому

      Yea the mini games are a bit of a pain due to the performance issues but there are very few of them in the game and it's not mandatory to win them from what I can tell. Cheers Umbri 😊

    I’m a fan of Telltale. I’ll definitely grab this in a sale, after a patch.

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  3 роки тому +1

      Me too Peter, the performance issues don't stop you playing the game but they did get a little frustrating for me atleast.

    • @ZaykaEgi

      What is fps ?

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  2 роки тому

      Frames per Second in this instance, framerate.

    Anyone possibly know what the song references mean that pop up at the start of certain scenes including (blame it on the rain, beat it)

    I played the demo. Liked it but the graphics are not great , looks horrible is that just the demo ??

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  3 роки тому

      I never played the demo Aleesha, I didn't think the graphics were that bad, they aren't on par with PC but still look better than a lot of ports end up doing.

    This game has shallow and toxic direction and dialogues feels soo cringe. The devs wants to make you feel sympathy for such despicable characters, like the starting character Sonya, she's so annoying and typical "feminist" that I wanted to beat the hell out of her, but the game shuts you for even picking dialogues that are against her. Th devs force you to be a simp and hail to dumb feminist that treats you like trash. And when you reply in upper tones, the game quickly insults you for being reasonable. It kinda reflects the general ideology of the present despicable and hollow society.

      "I wanted to beat the hell out of her". Yeah, you see nothing wrong with that statement? Wow.
