Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Nintendo Switch Review 

Pls don't stop monthly best rated releases, eases my already anxious mind

You know my wallet hates you, right?

Great collaboration video! I love the extra info given by Mark, it completed what I wanted to know. Keep up the good job!

Can you play it even if there is no internet connection?

I can't understand what you're saying like a third of the time. Learn how to speak English!

Art-style like this never get old.... Like okami

@@chumbosaurio7099 For real. Okami is my favorite game of all time.

@@chumbosaurio7099 thats what i was about say

The water physics is really good too

That and gameplay/story and characters etc.

Thank you. Very much appreciated.

Same! I've been excited for this game for so long and I'm so glad it turned out well.

Well, the game looks fun, but nothing will top Persona 5 Royal and FF7 Remake in terms of hype, for me.

@Burial Dreams right back at you. Not everyone froths over COD/Assasin’s Creed games.

Same!

Lelouch pfp 👍

Thanks for watching! Mark

No worries. Glad it helped. Glen

@Burial Dreams Yeah, I know you're right. Unfortunately I sometimes like to get a special edition if it offers some nice goodies.

@DA I hope the pre-order helps these incredibly talented developers. But maybe it only helps some rich suits. 😒 Who knows.

@@egberteil8462 It does help the developers, as it also helps the suits who see a successful opportunity. It means we may get more content or even a sequel or two.

I trust your opinion Egbert. Subbing now.

@@egberteil8462 well in europe the publisher is marvelous games and they have it constantly on stock. Believe me, if u are in europe u dont need to pre order from them. Even now u can still buy the rune factory 4 special edition on their own website. Sakuna is also listed there so the stock wont be gone very soon. I can oder mine for 53€ or so instead of 50 pounds. Dont know how my trustworthy shop does it but i love their pricing.

It’s really impressive! Mark

Nintendo has to go to Marvelous and ask them to put this on the Switch. Now it being sold twice as much on Switch than PS4.

Wish theyd port it to switch!

I bought this game because of that. Muramasa is one of my favorite games

Much appreciated mate. Glen

Thank you much appreciated.

Wow the same . I got my eyes on this game now and currently playing ni no kuni. Just got my oled switch last month. You think it’s worth getting this game ?

Thank you!

Thanks mate. Enjoy the game! Glen

I’m certain you will! Mark

I didn't pre-order the game,but I did rent it..hopefully it gets here this week..it looks really good,I like the art style,and from what I've heard of the soundtrack it sounds lovely..I like games with themes of Japanese culture,I hope to visit Japan someday,the people and their culture seem beautiful..I'm excited to try this game 😊

Ok

I immediately pre-ordered it too, I can't wait to get it in the mail. Shit looks awesome.

Is it worth buying?

Very good game this one mate. Hopefully it will sell well. Glen

Great stuff. Glad to hear you've been enjoying it mate. Glen

Oh, and it’s on sale right now too so fortune was definitely on my side.

They're the cream of the crop. :P

Ooof!

I ploughed right through them!

Man, you all know how to plant a good joke lol

This game is very much like the ps2 golden days of RPGs, so yes...there is definitely "post-game" content. I'm 47 hours in (19 Sakuna years) and I cleared the final boss about 40ish hours in. Getting your rice maxed out (as in, cant improve Sakuna's AND your rice's stats anymore...cause remember...there's boosting Sakuna with white rice and then there's boosting her with brown rice. Maxing out Sakuna completely will require you to grow both perfected white and brown rice) seems like it'll take at least 60...maybe 80 hours...maybe even more tbh. Not to mention 100% every node, creating (and maximizing) every piece of gear, maximizing all of your abilities, clearing floor 100 in the tower, completing the highest level of survival for Lady Kamuhitsuki... There's easily 80-100 hours of content here. And the game doesn't punish you for veating the main boss 30 hours in by saying "Thanks, now start again completely fresh!"

@@TechNMusic Awesome.

@@TechNMusic super helpful information, thanks a lot ⚘ I'm a slow player, that sort that wants 100% and looks under every leaf ^^ I consider it as a deeper experience 😊 Great to know I'll get that much extra fun 😀

Looks like another Atelier to me

That's lovely to hear mate, thanks. Stay safe. Glen

Around 30-40 but you know I'm a very slow player you could skip stuff and finish much faster! Mark

SwitchUp Awesome, definitely picking it up then!

@@SwitchUpYt I'm a slow player too. That sort that wants 100% and looks under every leaf ^^ I consider it as a deeper experience 😊

Thank you, much appreciated.

Congratulations mate, great news! Glen

That's one of the sweetest comments I've ever read.

That's very nice to hear, thank you. Glen

When Rune Factory came out on the Switch, I couldn't believe how enjoyable the experience was. Between the combat and romances, (the hilarious dialogue, being able to take along a villager as you quest), I knew I'd enjoy it better than the (at the time) up-and-coming Animal Crossing. And I wasn't wrong. I'm not big on any farming simulators, but Sakuna seems like a really fun action/rice-tending game-loop.

@@HunterSThompson191 its a shame they don't bring frontier or tides of destiny. Frontier had really chill tunes imo.

I just got Rune Factory 4 Special. My first time with series. I get bored with ACNH and was hoping to find something i enjoyed more

@@YouJustAmazeMe I really wish I played the other ones. Sounds very cool. Also, Sakuna plays beautifully. Each day in-game looks different. The mountainscape, the weather, it's so fun

*Rogue Like, 8-Bit Pixel, Randomly Generated, Cards Battles and Souls-Like* is the most overused stuff indie devs have used to death right now to the point it's started to get so boring, I used to like the new games indies are making until now when every games they make is the same and the market now got flooded with them, it's always a good thing to make a game a bit different from the rest.

Yeah, it's very good. Glen

Thank you. Glad you are enjoying it. Glen
