To confirm this DOES HAVE ALL DLC as I said in the review. Just wanted to check with the publisher to doubly make sure. Very fun game this one - what do you think? Mark
I've been interested in this for a while now was planning on PS4 but think I'll get it here
@@Pariah626 yeah this is one that works great in handheld
Will this game rise like a phoenix on Switch? Or should you toss it’s ashes in the dust bin? Let’s find out!
Definitely gonna get this at some point.
@@SwitchUpYt that's great I exclusively use handheld so this is definitely one imma get
There’s a trend I noticed where there are certain developers who before putting their biggest games on Switch they’ll port a smaller game first to make sure they can translate the engine and those ones almost always end up with ports like this. Crytek has done it, these guys with Chronos From the Ashes, Square Enix and many more. I appreciate these devs who put the effort in to really learn the hardware and fine tune their ports for it.
Yeah for sure - I think they’ve kind of got Unreal 4 dialled. Mark
Right? Good point.
Yet Square Enix still put KH 1 and 2 on cloud??
@@vivid8979 Yeah that choice made 0 sense and I’d argue if they out the effort in they could have out KH3 as well
I know the switch isn't always the best device for all your gaming needs. But I do appreciate how much love it gets from dedicated developers.
THQ Nordic keeps delivering! I think they can easily be one of the top publishers if they keep up all these great games.
Yeah i really like them but they released darksiders 3 on switch...Not a good port.
@@MrFroggsteralso just not a very good game in general lol
@@withoutthejuice7193 yeah plus a bad port....
@@MrFroggster why’d you repeat what you said originally? Just curious really heh
I hate them a bit for giving us Destroy all Humans but keeping us from the second chapter :(
Incredible game and i had a lot of fun playing it with a friend 3 years ago. Looking forward to Remnant 2. Glad Switch players can experience it as well now!
Yeah it’s really good fun! Mark
incredible game as well i had a lot of time playin this game with your ugly a** momma as well 😃
I prefere Remnant 1
The 2 Is a bit... Strange... For me. So much based on achetype powers
no way they managed to port this and have it look so good
IKR! Mark
The Switch has some fantastic ports and in my mind it is a very underrated device.
The Switch Is Best lets hope for 25 more years :D
@@kylerobinson6102 Switch: sells 150 million units
Switch users: OMG this device is so underrated.
@@bikechan9903 it’s funny because it’s totally true
One of my all time favorites. Glad to see Switch players can experience it now.
I'm a switch player but I played this game on the Xbox one first
Can we just talk about how incredible the menu theme song is? Beautifully uplifting and sad all at the same time.
Absolutely incredible had to use it as the background music
It is indeed a great soundtrack, here's the playlist m.th-cam.com/play/PLDodwk5VA7P6b1KVI95KZR92A1pXkVu3N.html
I hope this practice of putting ALL THE GAME ON THE CARTRIDGE continues (I hate that cartridge versions don't include everything a lot of the time, it makes the cartridge version worthless) and no i'm not shutting up about this until developers make this a standard practice :)
I already knew the game was great, but I am SO GLAD that the port turned out as well as it did. Great work by the developer, as this game really deserved the best shot it could get on the Switch.
Thank you for the review, as always!
I really love how honest you are and the way you avoid "the bait thing" at all. Always enjoy every single review.
Greetings from your Mexican friend, Roy. 🇲🇽
Cheers mate
Thanks for putting this one on my radar, definitely going the physical route, and will continue to if the chance is there.
Genuinely one of the best co-op experiences you can have, especially with friends. Rpg fans will also find tons of build variety to be had once you start unlocking skills.
Can you play two player on one switch or does each person need their own console?
@@genieotl No splitscreen I'm afraid 😭
And from the Ashes, another developer has unlocked the secret to porting a game and having it run well on the Switch. I may wait on the physical, but it's a definite add to the Wish List for me.
This goes into my wishlist too. 😋
I was literally clamoring for you guys review! I had it in my wish list but wasn’t sure how the port would hold up. This game was so addictive playing on my Xbox I can’t wait to play this on my switch and switch lite!
One of my most hyped pickups of 2023! Thank you for the review!
Great review. Might have to pick this up or def add it to the wishlist. Thanks again guys.
I’m really looking forward to this, but was waiting on few reviews of port. Thanks for another great review video
I have this on PS4. It's a pretty good game and really surprised me with its depth and gameplay. I'm glad more people will get a chance to play it. It's good when developers actually take their time with Switch ports and don't just throw a bad product on the system. Thanks for the review and I may double dip on this one when I make significant progress on my backlog
I'm super excited to pick up my copy tomorrow and seeing your review so far I'm happy I took the dive to pre order one of my favorite games for switch :)
I was worried this port was going to be rough. Like you mentioned, it wasn't exactly the smoothest on PS4. But this looks solid and feels like the perfect place to play. I do love a good Switch port. Thanks for the review! Keep up the honest and detailed info! Gonna try and make some trades after work tomorrow so I can get that physical edition!
Oh man this looks good. I am so happy you did the review or i would never knew this game exist!
I'll pick it up when it's on sale. Thanks to you guy, I have about 20+ games on my switch that I have not touched yet lol. Can't keep adding to the backlog, especially at full price. Great review as per usual!!
That looks amazing! Great Stuff, as always!
Cheers for the review dude; i got the physical copy yesterday but havent started it yet as im just burning my way through kirby, but im now looking forward even more to slapping this in and booting it up in the next day or so.
It looks like im really going to enjoy it 😊
Surprising score! This wasn't on my radar but it looks worth wishlisting at least.
Really good game! Mark
If you never played it, this is a very great game that I've spent a lot of time on. And just like the great reviewer said, the survival alone will suck you in. Feel free to ask any questions
This is a very good news for me! Thanks again to SwitchUp for the in-depth review, i was waiting it for Remnant From The Ashes since the first time you mentioned a "coming soon" port of this game for switch. Luckily it seems they did a great job here ❤
Cheers mate
This looks remarkable and it's one of the reasons I love Switch. In an era where so many good games are coming out all the time it's cool to find a game from a few years ago I never heard of that looks awesome and seems like a great port to handheld. If it wasn't for this video and if it wasn't for the Switch I'd have never heard of this. Definitely scooping this one up.
Great review as always. Thanks
Such a great game, I stumbled upon it when it was free back on PS Plus and had never heard of it before. Sunk many hours into it and the DLC getting all achievements, weapons and armour etc. Very fun game with great customisation and builds with good synergy depending on how you want to play. Would definitely recommend for anyone into looter shooters and will be buying this again
Something worth noting that I don't think you brought up, areas are shuffled and drawn from with each play through, which potentially means different weapons and perks, so you can join someone else game and if they have a different seed to you, you can get different gear from their run
Oh nice I didn’t realise that honestly! Mark
Hi SwitchUp fam!!
This just answered my last comment on an earlier vid! I'm going to pick up this physical ASAP!
Smashing job with the vid as always!
Thanks guys! Keep it up!! 😎👍
Cheers brother! Mark
They did an absolutely great job porting this. Wow. And it has LAN multiplayer? Sold! Looking forward to downloading it sometime today. Great review!
Between the camera angle and build diversity this game reminded me of a combination of Mass Effect 3 Online and Resident Evil 5. The guns are percussive and interesting as hell. The game rewards trying EVERYTHING. A solid game all around but a 10/10 for me and my friends either solo or coop. Glad THQ Nordic and Gunfire Games brought this to this platform too.
If I can get a good group for co-op it’ll be glorious
Yes! After your upcoming games video, I’ve been so exited for this game! Thanks for the review
You’re welcome mate! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt are u gonna do a review for have a nice death
I had no idea this was coming to the Switch. Might have to pick this one up!
Thanks as always guys for your honest feedback I have been itching to know how this will run on switch needless to say I have secured my copy as soon as I watched this video. Happy gaming everyone
Welp. This confirms it. Into my wishlist this one go. I must have this someday! Thanks for the review! 😋
Someday for me will be a sale or when the physical drops, but it's definitely a winner.
@@sevensyns7732 yep. Im always going to wait for sale. 😄
Wow what a great port! I also didn't see that one coming!
I love these types of games! Mine's arriving tomorrow :-D
Very happy to have just picked up the physical version of the game. Thanks for the recommendation!😎
This seems like a good addition to the Switch catalogue.
I'll add it to my wishlist and maybe get it on a future sale.
Great video, as usual. Keep up the good work guys.
Cheers Axel mate! Mark
And purchase, was waiting for this video before I got it. You guys are always reliable
Love your user icon and I hope you enjoy a remnant as much as I did
@@FloVelo941 thank you
I love your channel man. I always watch your reviews and thanks to your channel, I end up buying all the great games you recommend.
Cheers Michael mate
It is a pretty damn good review and a good game
I would definitely pick this up as a physical sale. My only gripe as I’ve recently picked up the Xbox series S is I can play all the Gears Of War and Outriders on game pass. It will be hard going back to something like this after playing Outriders but the main selling point for me is I can play Remnant in the palm of my hands. It still blows my mind now how the devs manage to get games like this onto the switch. Great review.
If everything is going digital later, which worries me tremendously, I'll be focusing on offline physically released games, this port is definitely fantastic and I'm wondering what big port they'll do next, I'd love to see something like First Solis or Alone in the Dark ported to the switch, and dispute the Critics Valkyrie Elysium I think would make a great port on the Switch, it's a fun romp with a short mission based structure, but that combo mechanic I think is well done especially with LVL'ed up magic, I think that's got impressive particle effects, anyway I've waffled enough, have a great day and thankyou for your review on this
fun fact, this is a "sequel" to chronos before the ashes, which i believe has been reviewed on this channel.
Yep I reviewed that - enjoyed it! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt indeed, I enjoyed the review! thanks mark, you guys are the best!
I have already played and completed this game on PS4. If you have never played it, and you like souls like games or would like to try the souls like genre. Give this a try. The range combat is fantastic. The bosses are tough but not unfair. And it's not a super long experience. I won't be buying this since I already completed it, but I do highly recommend it.
I can't wait for this game! Preorder as soon as I could also for those interested I bought the first game in the series Chronos Before the ashes. Swords and sheilds and age a year after every death. I found it a great game even tho it was a V.R game first then made to 3rd person.
Was craving some shooter/looter games like this. Thank you. But.... just on the wishlist for now 😂
I really liked playing coop with a friend on this game. The setting was also interesting, it reminded me to The dark tower series of books somehow.
Looks great! Backlog wishlist until a sale for me though. CHEERS 🍻
Pre-ordered it yesterday. Waiting in anticipation for the download
I feel like the trouble with this game as with a lot of other games that come to Switch after being on other platforms is that so much time has pass that this game is in the Free games lists from places like Epic and humble. In fact I got it free last year(Only the base game). Saying that, I loved it and it could possibly get my money in a sale so I can play through the DLC.
Great Video as usual!
Already preordered this 🤘🏼
Liked the trailer and info in the eshop, now with the review I just love it 😂😂😂, can't pay it now but if all things work well and planets align I'll get it on a sale.😢
My favorite game of the last few years! I love how it plays, the upgrades, bosses, even some of the music, the magic abilities that you can tie to weapons. For the most part the bosses just need a methodical and clever approach, with plenty of spot on shots. My only gripe is that I had one boss (and I actually haven't played through the whole game, maybe half) one boss was insanely tricky, it was a boss type of stage but there was so much of a puzzle type situation going on and a smoke and mirrors sort of situation to where you're not even sure what plain you're on. I'm not sure I got past that spot even though I started looking through walkthroughs a ton. On the plus side though as well is the souls like save system and perfect difficulty, also the terrain changes to different and interesting settings, constantly feeling fresh. The enemy types do the same as well and will really test your skills. It would be fun to approach the game again with a new build. The dlcs I believe are a nice edition as well. I played on a winter level about 6 months ago that was also decent. Those bosses look great and I really wanted to play against the Rat dude whose basically Splinter from TMNT.
wishlisting and will pick up once inevitably discounted. thanks switch up, _see ya!!_
Looks great. Thanks for the brilliant review.
Wow impressive port.
For sure! Mark
😮 amazing port!!
Very impressed hearing bout it's performance, I will most definitely pick this up, got it on the PS4 too, I love the game, that and that remnant 2 best friends trailer I can't wait for that to come out, fighting in an apocalyptic world with man's best friend at your side? Yep you've got me, I'll be wishlisting and pre ordering asap, I absolutely love a great port of anygame and this suprised me how well it performs, awesome review 😎👍
I've made the leap and purchased this one, despite not enjoying their previous effort on Switch (Chronos: Before the Ashes).
Looking forward to this one, I hear its much better 😊
Yeah it’s very fun
Just picked this up, look forward to playing.
Loved this game on PS4... can't wait for Remnant 2 this summer.
Can confirm. Remnant 2 is awesome.
Can you share your settings you mentioned to get the FPS controls working well? (you mentioned there are no gyro controls before saying you were able to find a workable setting for sensitivity, etc.)
Christ I can't wait...been checking if playable yet every damn hour since midnight. Literally can't sleep I'm so excited to play this handheld and hopefully get in some nice co op group battle/tactical boss fighting!
Looks very good. Thanks for the heads up guys👍😎👍.
I loved this game on pc, glad to hear the switch port holds up!
Was going to pass this up fear of it not performing good but thanks to you guys I’ll definitely give it a buy
Yyyessss glad to see this got a good score! Loved it on pc, definitely considering getting it on switch too
Just pre ordered. Love a port made with love
“It runs good”
Thank god!!! One of my most anticipated this year!
I'm actually kinda shocked that it ported over well. Hopefully the online component also does really well and stays strong. I had a lot of fun when I played this one.
I already pick up the digital, I cant wait to play.
My physical copy came through the door and hour ago, very much looking forward to enjoying the hell outta it :-)
Oh nice
So glad to see this game being talked about again. I just bought myself a switch oled and I’m gonna 100% this game all over again. Highly recommend it
*About time this is on the Switch!!!*
Yep and they nailed the port. Mark
excited to try for the first time!
I bought it right after watching this review a couple weeks back. I don’t like souls games, but this game is addicting. Definitely need to play coop and in the same room and communication really helps. Now I’m already looking forward to the sequel now. I’m a fan.
I never thought this would get ported, and the fact that it has is awesome
Been playing it since this morning (physical copy), and I'm very satisfied with how it runs... But disappointed by the lack of gyro aim. I had faith it would be good, the prequel was a good game, and THQ generally delivers very decent ports.
Yeah same on Gyro. Mark
Yep, it's a shame that all shooter don't get the gyro option.
When it's well done (Breath of the wild is maybe the best), it helps so much. Makes the game so much pleasant to play.
@@AxLWake splatoon does it better with gyro. hopefully they patch this game and add it
@@johnmcenroe3000 I've never tried Splatoon so I'll take your word for that.
Super stoked to have this on Switch now! Can't wait for Remnant 2!!!!!!
Deffo going on my list for a sale! Would love to play this co op
It's the best coop experience I ever had, everything is shared between players except in survival.
Looks surprisingly good, might pick it up!
Pre-ordered as soon as it was on eshop.
I really enjoyed this on xbox and was so surprised to see it come to switch 👌
Patiently waiting with my cans of energy drinks hoping after midnight I can play 😂
Ooo this one is going on the wishlist for sure.
This is by far one of my absolute favorite games. I devoured it when it came out on ps4 and it makes me beyond happy to see it running so well on Switch. Looks like I’ve got some more Root to ‘ahem’ weed out. 😅
If you really enjoy that much, I recommend it on steam, epic or Microsoft simply because of the hell mod
@@FloVelo941 first time I’m hearing about this! What’s the hell mod?
Just picked this up. Great so far and the load times really aren't that bad.
This is one of my absolute favorite games and even though I've played this a bunch on ps4 I'm really excited by the idea of playing this in hand held and likely will buy it again.
This game was amazing on the PS4, it had so many cool weapons and boss fights. Playing in co-op was really fun as well! Man if this is a good port I’ll double dip easily and get my friends to play again hopefully.
You'd double dip? Is it really that good?
@@AxLWake to me heck yeah it’s that good. I beat it by myself, beat it with friends, beat it with strangers online. There are some really cool weapons and mods to mess with so it never feels the same. Combat is a lot of fun and the pacing is really good. Some of the most fun co-op sessions I’ve had in the past.
@@Ingeniousleo85 Thanks for the answer. The game is on my wishlist. I'm going to play it, soon or later.
I'm genuinely curious. I don't recall hearing too much about this game. You guys genuinely have good recommendations.
I have had this on PC for a while and even with a decent spec system and not at full usage the framerate for me seems to dip below its target but doesn't usually feel bad as a result I think some of it is just down to what is going on and the engine trying to keep up with itself as much as possible and keep it smooth.
Ah the relief that the port ended up great, since i refrained from playing this for Xbox on "switch hope" lol. I preloaded yesterday & holding out that it miraculously unlocks at midnight instead of 3am🤞
Loved this on my PS4 & PS5. Can't wait for Remnant 2 to be released!
Will preorder the physical. Spent already a lot of time with my friends and the PC version.
It's great to see this gem of a game finally on the Switch. Might even pick this up on a sale
Got this for free on Epic some time ago and watching this review made me move it up my backlog
Can't believe this gem was free on epic, twice.
I had no idea what this game actually was, but this looks SO FUN!!! It's my birthday today and this just might be my present to myself.
Happy birthday. I recommend this if you don't feel like waiting for a sale.
Hey guys you should have called me since I had the game early 😂 but I am nowhere as awesome as you guys! Cheers and thanks for getting this review out for one of the more underrated games! Such a sweet port!
Oh nice! Next time brother! Mark
