Hey SwitchUP Family hit all those buttons if you enjoy the video - I hope you enjoy my review of Blue Fire - Also check out our review of Haven which dropped a couple of days back th-cam.com/video/hO2f7HSujjQ/w-d-xo.html . Mark
LMAO! I ended up doing the same thing at 4:40! Ladder climb dash to pipe then couldn't get back once I did it! You used fencing to climb further up once on the other side, and I used braziers once flames were extinguished to do so, lol! Also: still a very nice little game here, but Team Cherry made a bonafide masterpiece, IMO! No comparison here possible, I'm afraid, tho stylistically similar in more than a few ways to be sure, at least!
Hello, could you please make a video with your top indie, eshop games? Like the Hades & stuff like that. & do 2 per category like rpg, action, beat em ups, etc. For people looking to create a game library. Thanks in advance
Bought this game on a whim together with Haven. I started playing it, not knowing what to expect. It sucked me in and even though it has it hiccups (like the crashes) it is a really nice game. Glad I bought it. With Haven I have to wait until either saturday or sunday because I'll be playing it coop with my wife.
I bought this the day it came out, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and it's a lot of fun! Definitely recommend getting it (even better now since there's a sale)!
At launch I found this game fun at times but also frustrating and glitchy. However the new update made a massive difference. It feels far more balanced and polished now. I shelved it a few months ago but now after restarting I'm having trouble putting it down.
Good point. If the devs aren't able to implement it in a patch, they should release a printable map online. Sounds silly I'm sure, but it could add another element using that for orientation.
Sometimes I look up a review for a new switch game, and 10-minute + videos are a deterrent for me; I just want to hear the score and a couple of points to explain why. But this video very concisely addresses all the key areas, and did so in a very enjoyable way! You just earned a like and subscribe! Thanks for the solid review!
OMG I am so happy you mentioned being able to go where you're not supposed too. This happened to me in the first temple and I couldn't go back, cause the water level glitched and wouldn't allow me to climb the ladder back up without dying. And I lost all my money...
MOVEMENT! That’s part of what made Hollow Knight so so good. The controls were so tight I benchmark any Metrovania game with it. I see people talk about the game’s control and it’s got me excited
@@SwitchUpYt so, I’m one of those weird humans who won’t mind the slip ups. Dark Souls taught me well 😭 Added this to my list and ask always, great review guys 😬
Saying how you worked your way early to those places you were supposed to wait to get to reminded me of years back playing Super Metroid with my neighbour and wall jumping and bomb jumping to places we just weren't supposed to get to yet. Those were the days!
What's crazy is that in Super Metroid, it's possible for you to skip the Varia Suit completely and go straight to the Gravity Suit. You just have to rush through 3 or 4 rooms in Norfair without the protection of the Varia Suit.
A couple of comments in reply to this were “Wow” and a “facepalm” emoji .. why??? I’ve also been waiting for Switchup’s take on this too. I hardly think the OPs comment was literally every 10 minutes. OP, I’m with you buddy. I was also waiting for the review by Mark today. Don’t let these dick faces put you down.
@@crestfallenwarrior6996 hahah water off a ducks back. As you say I was just eagerly anticipating this review and appreciate the work Mark and Glenn do
Have been looking forward to this title for awhile but waited for your review (which I do with most my purchase) before I pulled the trigger. Well after watching this review I went to the eshop and purchased. Thanks for this Mark
I would have bought it day one , if not for my long-awaited Undermine and Curse of the dead gods right around the corner. I will pick it up some time in the future for sure though.
Awesome review! I love the style and it sounds like you really played through it instead of just speed running and giving a first look impression. I wish you good luck and success with your chanel!
I was eagerly waiting for your review of this game. I'm really intrigued because I love 3D platformers and those challenges looks absolutely great. Thank you so much for your work, you're amazing!
Will definitely be buying this at some point but I’m hoping for a physical release. Plus a physical release for Hades too. Got so many great games to play on for the moment so I’m happy to wait a little while. Thx for the review Switchup
I haven’t got a Switch yet but I would like to get the OLED Switch if I can get lucky enough to get one since all consoles anymore seem to be sold out. I can’t get the new switch or next gen consoles. At least not without pay double the price which really sucks.
@@SwitchUpYt sadly not, we've only got WiFi out here, no phone signal that I can send out via a hotspot. Will most likely buy it and it will download once I'm back on dry land. Not like I haven't got a massive backlog to pick from anyway 😅
I’m only about an hour in, but I am loving it. Lack of map is a little frustrating when considering the metroidvania aspect, but manageable. I find the controls a little floaty, but I’m also using a third party joycon so could be related to that. Still loving it though!
Thank you for the review I was expecting stable 30 fps tho :( But might get it anyway Are you going to do a review on “cursed of the dead gods” ? It will be released on February 23
Tight controls and good level design in a 3D platformer? That's all good news, and at a good price! These games are rare, so I'll have to pick this one up. Great review as always.
I am really thinking about picking it up. I agree with someone else that the lack of a map might make it difficult to put down and come back to at a later date.
Even the font and menus look like Hollow Knight. Cool. Great style and 3D maneuverability, really reminds me of Hat in Time. So glad to hear it has Zelda-like parts and I love the platforming. I will most likely find some of those off-the-beaten-path glitches as I tend to explore too much in games like this, but I think that is often part of the fun of adventuring. I hate so many Switch games have framerate issues, wish they would lock at 30 or at least give an option to. Awesome review, great detail without spoilers. Looking forward to Blue Fire.
I have been waiting for this. It’s great to hear that Blue Fire is pretty good despite the flaws and minor performance issues. I think I’ll definitely have to pick this one up and give it a go. Thanks for the review.
Good to hear you enjoyed it! No map would get frustrating for sure, yet, does kind of seem like a refreshing dose of no hand-holding. But. Yeah to pull that off you’ve got to have superb level design. Really curious about this one but I might have to pass. For now at least.
@@SwitchUpYt Man it’s all Children of Morta. In between whatever else I’m checking out. Last it was Atelier Ryza. While it was cute, it just doesn’t seem like what I need right now. Next I’m looking Rogue Heroes and of course, Bowser’s Furry. Yeah I spelled it right.
Looks like it even has some Immortals Fenyx mixed in with the various portal challenges. Just grabbed this one. TY for contributing to my backlog and game hoarding endeavors. :P
Love this game so much! Also I see the ability to creatively access areas they may not have expected you too earlier as great! Thanks for showing me an earlier way to get the spin attack! XD I didn’t realize you could get to the pipe from the latter lol. I waited to get the wall run first but I like that way better!
Personally I'm excited about the lack of a map. I grew up on games without a map (or at most, an extremely simple map) and find myself opening them every few seconds in many of today's games. I would rather get lost exploring for an hour than see exactly where a key item is and be able to draw the path to it. There's a lot more intrinsic reward and sense of accomplishment.
Been waiting for this review, bosses look cool , looks like it needs a few things ironing out. Thought it might have been a bit longer started Dragons Dogma yesterday so that’s me sorted until monster hunter might give it a blast in the summer ☀️😎
I didn't really know what this was initially, so thank you for the in-depth review! The movement of the character reminds me alot of Hat Kid in A Hat in Time :o It definetly seems like a good pick for fans of 3D Platformers and metroidvanias :)
I picked it up first day. It really is a hell of a value. I'm not great at platformers, so I had a hell of a time completing it, and I wish that there was a bit more to the story, but it's a good time.
Pre-ordered it and started playing it on day 1. No regrets. It is quite engaging and addicting. You die A LOT at first (at least I did) but after a while (4/5hrs for me) you start being equipped enough with jumps and spirits and it all becomes amazing. It flows, movements are super fun, and I found the "no map" thing fascinating in the long run, because I am experiencing the whole floating castle the way I imagine the character to be doing. Of course, I am so engrossed in it I will buy a physical copy as soon as it is out. Also hoping in some kind of sequel, maybe to explore what is outside of the castle? There are hints in the lore, and it sounds super cool and amazing. I would love to experience it. Yes. I am addicted LOL Tips: absolutely find the hunter dude before the sewers and buy the longer-sprint spirit and the no-hurt-falling spirit. They changed the whole experience for me (I died falling so many times!). Also, just explore everything and talk with anyone, they might be helpful.
Picked this up... loving it so far!! The platform void challenges are frustrating, but still fun. I have a love hate relationship with it much like Cuphead. Definitely thumbs up for that.
I still say it feels like Death Jr. with graphics and character design to me,, just more platforming and less on combo combat. Really wish it had a map, and a bit more focus on combat, but the fact that there is so much detail in the equipment makes it OK. I like that it handles well for the most part, moving feels like ice physics at first to me. Worth picking up so far. Grabbed this and Nuts, good weekend so far.
Thanks again for the great review! I will pick it up some day, just not right away. Two questions: - In this video, the visuals are not very sharp / a bit blurry, which annoyed me pretty fast. Did you notice this as well, particularly because you played on PC and on Switch? - Is there any indication that the developers will further improve the game? Say in visuals, FPS, maybe adding a map, DLC hard mode, etc.
That's definitely my kind of game. Makes me wish for a zelda / Hollow Knight crossover even more. They did it with Crypt of the Necrodancer so there's always hope.
Picked up when heard was a metroidvania....but I just finished cybershadow and the controls for this game are giving me trouble picking up 3d platform game and not only cybershadow but forgone and deadcells is almost a daily game for me and of course hollowknight so I'm really having trouble readjusting for a 3d map but I feel the games controls are great and so far love the game
Ughhh, I like this game right now but I think I've run into the exact game design issue you mention. I have neither the double jump nor the wall run yet I'm in the city and have been able to get to all the homes. Yet I'm stuck game progression wise. Very frustrating since I don't even know where I need to go back to in order to get the necessary abilities. I enjoy the game but they need to at least either have a map or some NPCs with more helpful dialog for when you're "lost"...
I am quite enjoying my time with this one. I definitely recommend everyone play this. It’s kinda like 3D hollow Knight meets dark souls. I haven’t played any 3D Zelda games but my friend tells me twilight princess was similar
@@aidankhaos7687 To each their own. To me though, I loved everything about BOTW _except_ that every other game had a *way* better story. I'm really hoping the sequel fixes that.
I've encountered my first game-breaking bug. My game crashed after meeting the Elevator guy. When loading back in he is nowhere to be seen, and the gate he opened for me is closed. I'll have to restart. Thankfully it was early in the game, and I really want to continue playing, since the game seems so fun.
I’ve been enjoying it but I desperately hope a framerate fix happens for the Switch. It gets pretty bad at times. Also, the worlds feel kind of hollow at times. A few typos in dialogue and bugs here and there. But i love the game so I hope they fix it up
I was interested until you said there is no map. I cannot play a game without a map, I don’t know why but it makes the experience more difficult and less real for me

This is right up my alley. Purchased right after watching your review. Thanks man
Hello, could you please make a video with your top indie, eshop games? Like the Hades & stuff like that. & do 2 per category like rpg, action, beat em ups, etc. For people looking to create a game library. Thanks in advance
Need to Add this to my wishlist😍😍😍
I’ll grab this during a future sale. Too many games in the backlog right now. Thanks for the honest review!
Me too! Theres a few games i still need to finish already. But i will definitely eventually get this
I was thinking the same thing. Looks sweet though
I got like 30 games in my backlog, still decided to buy this game. It was $2 off on Switch I couldn’t ignore such an exceptional deal
It’s on sale right now
It's on 40% sale now! I probably going to get it now.
I skipped to the end, saw 84% and bought, lol. Now I am watching the whole thing. Quality work again.
Hahaha thanks mate! Mark

Exactly right! Mark
When we die are we supposed to start all over?
Onsale now
It does have some nice Windwaker vibes at times, along with the blatant Hollow Knight influences haha. That’s a good direction I’d say.
Agreed. Looks great.
At launch I found this game fun at times but also frustrating and glitchy. However the new update made a massive difference. It feels far more balanced and polished now. I shelved it a few months ago but now after restarting I'm having trouble putting it down.
The lack of a map might make it difficult to put down and come back to at a later date. Regardless, can't wait to get my hands on this!
Good point. If the devs aren't able to implement it in a patch, they should release a printable map online. Sounds silly I'm sure, but it could add another element using that for orientation.
Robi Studios did release a official strategy guide on on there website. It does lack a map, but may be something they release in the future.
Not even gonna bother with no map. A lame release for sure.
I was thinking this, and with my game time being limited and spread far apart this will be hard on me.
Loads of metroid/castlevania/dark souls inspired games don't have maps. The devs don't want to hold your hand in that regard
I think the reason for no map is that they want you to explore the area and dark souls inspiration
"Is it more Hollow Knight or hollow experience? Let's find out."
That's the one! Mark
Saw a live discussion yesterday with the developers, they are working on a Physical version and will hopefully release it soon!
YES. Please gimme
🤞🤞

You're welcome
Graffiti Games has mentioned on their Discord that a physical release is in the works, probably within the next few months
This looks pretty good, but I'm on the fence about the lack of a map causing too much directional frustration. I like constant progression.
I would have bought it day one , if not for my long-awaited Undermine and Curse of the dead gods right around the corner. I will pick it up some time in the future for sure though.
Wow I really want to play this, lack of a map does hurt a little bit but I think I’m going to go for it either way
Thank you for this review. Ever since you teased this game before release ive been looking forward to it.
Great review! I was looking for a review to answer whether I should get this on PC or Switch and you gave me all the information I needed to decide.
I've been waiting for your review before deciding to purchase. You've convinced me!
Nice one. Already a few hours in but still appreciate the review. Happy weekend guys! X

Definitely getting this one, looks amazing
Ya, it looks pretty cool 👍
There were high expectations and I think it lived up to them. Thanks for the review!
I’m only about an hour in, but I am loving it. Lack of map is a little frustrating when considering the metroidvania aspect, but manageable. I find the controls a little floaty, but I’m also using a third party joycon so could be related to that. Still loving it though!

Let’s find out! Mark
Love the look and audio of this game I just might have to pick it up soon
Thanks for a great review Mark. Yeah I scooped this up as soon as it launched. I love the tight controls and all the nods to the Dark Souls series.
Even the font and menus look like Hollow Knight. Cool.
Great style and 3D maneuverability, really reminds me of Hat in Time. So glad to hear it has Zelda-like parts and I love the platforming.

Real interested to hear that the movement isn't floaty. It very much looks it from the footage. Other than that, I'm looking forward to it.

Consider reviewing Habroxia 2!!!! It’s a really great SHUMP and really pushes the genre forward!!!!
I had the same issues, I also had a few crashes and got the spin attack before the first dungeon and almost got stuck
1:14 You had me at souls
Switch up... My most trusted channel.
The voids are very very similar to immortals' vaults. I can't wait to try this game now

Let's be honest, For in the company is it always comes down to if they make enough money which I think these guys will
Maybe one for the wishlist as I have too many games on the go lol. Liking the new graphics SwitchUp, very clean 👍
Cheese Thomas appreciate that! Mark
That's definitely my kind of game. Makes me wish for a zelda / Hollow Knight crossover even more. They did it with Crypt of the Necrodancer so there's always hope.
Not havkng a map is a challenge, it reminds me of a few games from ps1 and ps2 days
A physical version is planned. I’ll wait till then with patches, I hope.
Maybe possible for them to add a map in a later patch?
I have been waiting for this one. I think this will be a pick up down the line.

I didn't think people like that existed.
@@iyeetsecurity922 I personally don’t like breath of the wild but love the rest of the Zelda series. Weird I know
@@aidankhaos7687 I never played any other Zelda game other than botw but I really didn’t like it after 25h i gave up on finishing it
@@aidankhaos7687 To each their own. To me though, I loved everything about BOTW _except_ that every other game had a *way* better story. I'm really hoping the sequel fixes that.
were your crashes around the time your introduced to elevators?
Is there a list of Switch games with 90 Switchup score or more?
I've encountered my first game-breaking bug. My game crashed after meeting the Elevator guy. When loading back in he is nowhere to be seen, and the gate he opened for me is closed. I'll have to restart.
Thankfully it was early in the game, and I really want to continue playing, since the game seems so fun.
Ah that's annoying
I’ve been enjoying it but I desperately hope a framerate fix happens for the Switch. It gets pretty bad at times. Also, the worlds feel kind of hollow at times. A few typos in dialogue and bugs here and there. But i love the game so I hope they fix it up
So, with it having Metroidvania aspects that force you to go back to unlock things, but there’s no map? Does that make it tough?
It's actually not really too bad no. The world design is simple enough to know roughly where to go. Still, I got lost a couple of times! Mark
Brutal legend, what's the excuse for that not being ported?!
I will be getting this.. just gonna wait a couple months cus I have such a backlog that I will prob never get to 😂 and bowsers fury coming this week
Did you find the last Boss and the fire Boss hard ?
I was interested until you said there is no map. I cannot play a game without a map, I don’t know why but it makes the experience more difficult and less real for me
Trying to decide between this or Hades....thoughts?
