      My backlog especially grows much because I like RPG's which are big time sinkers and procedurally generated survival and rogue-like games which you are never truly over cause there's always something different to try or another run to do

    The inventory space was the biggest issue i had in the demo,,,,that and the monkeys , I couldn't get them to do much of anything I wanted them too. But I'm sure I'd learn, but we need more storage asap. Hope the developers fix that . Also seeing some of these islands u showed, they look like a pain , I'd much rather prefer wood type island with just diff resources.

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  4 роки тому

      Yea I found the inventory space was an issue, would help if you could craft backpacks, though you can put storage on your raft which I later learned. The islands weren't that bad to be honest, there is a way to stop the bugs but I didn't work it out.

    Watched both this and your Green Hell review. Which one would you choose and why?

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  4 роки тому

      The two are completely different experiences IMO, I really enjoyed the co-op gameplay of The Survivalists, it was quite chilled and casual, Green Hell on the other hand is a hell of a lot more challenging with a deep set of survival mechanics, its just a shame about the performance issues. If I were to pick one, I'd say green hell, I found I got a bigger sense of achievement, even just surviving a day and building a damn rack for my sticks lol, and I want to jump back into Green Hell which I haven't done for a while with the games I've reviewed.

      If you have friends who will be playing Survivalists then its great fun. However just be aware Green Hell is pretty hardcore and there's no hand holding, as I said there are also performance issues but I'm really hoping they get them fixed in the near future.

      @@SwitchStars Ah thanks for the reply. Well Survival Kids was for the GBC so a generation before the GBA. Think of it like Wind Waker but with multiple endings (with completely arbitrary requirements) and a survival mechanic (that didn't come into play that much considering how easy it was to find food and water) that also involved crafting items. Obviously I assume this would be a lot more advanced, with more possibilities, but Is it in the same vein or more action oriented?

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  3 роки тому

      It's a bit of a mixture to be honest, most of the combat comes into play when you go into the tombs, but on the surface you have a few different predators to deal with and raids on your base to defend against.

    I didn't like the demo. I got bored n the controls are backwards I wanted to run but kept dropping whatever I was holding for example. It doesn't help that I don't care for minecraft/survival type games in the 1st place and I think they are a waste of time with no real objective. On a side note you should probably review games other than indies or you might probably be stuck at 1k subs forever. Maybe review more 1st party games for a start on switch. Idk up to you.

    • @SwitchStars
      @SwitchStars  4 роки тому +3

      Yea there are quite a lot of different buttons to get use to, but I didn't find them too bad after a while, I quite enjoy survival games but they do tend to be big time sinks and I don't have the time to play many of them. As for reviewing bigger games, AAA titles are generally impossible to get keys for and I really cant afford to cover them, the switch has a larger number of indies than any other platform, the majority of games on the e-shop are from indie developers and publishers, there are very few first party titles. I don't really concern myself that much with subs, its slowly increasing and I just enjoy creating content, its unlikely that ill ever be anything other than a small time UA-camr and so am quite happy just seeing steady growth, I also work full time so the content I produce is done in my spare time.
