Controls are 18/20 my old overlay snuck through the edit. Now this is my type of game! Let's see how it does! Mark

@2crack_17 Год назад

Will SwitchUp announce the OLED winner? Will third time be a charm for me or will I strike out? How much longer can I live with this anticipation?? Find out next time, on SwitchUp Z 😂

I was hoping this would make it to the Switch when I saw it on PS. Glad it's here

@Theprince32 Год назад

I played this game on ps5 and I loved it, it’s cool that it’s coming to switch

@strangegnosis Год назад

It's pretty cool how the pathless seems to take mechanics and experiences we've all had in multiple games and repurpose them. Giving them a bigger impact to support it's unique world. Cleaning your companion. Utilizing the characters bow allowing A to B traversal to be a bit more interactive, amongst a few other things. The sonic reference was spot on, I'm playing frontiers now and i can see so many similarities in mindset

@brendafsl Год назад

Even though this game does not have the same visual detailing of similar games, it is still breathtaking

@SwitchUpYt Год назад

Yeah you're right, it has its own flair. Mark

@littlegloom Год назад

it does, just not on the switch unfortunately

Ooh i think this one was one of the first games announced for the ps5, what a pleasant surprise that it's coming to the switch! Definitely adding it to my wishlist.

This channel and NintendoLife are my go to places when deciding which games to buy...looks like I'll be getting this one!

@Nedwig747 Год назад

This game looks really good and I think you may have missed a category as clearly this game scored a 20 out of 20 for hawks and hawk related gameplay. It's unfortunately a bit too short to purchase at full price for me. But I definitely can see myself getting it on sale

@fiftyten84 Год назад

Man I loved Abzu. Need to play that again as it's been a number of years. This game looks cool thanks for the review, was not on my radar

@wolfdewitte Год назад

Great review! This definitely looks like a game I’d like to pick up at some point. I really appreciate it when games have a great soundtrack, and it sounds like this one definitely has a memorable one. Having to cleanse your eagle is such a tender addition, I like that. The stealth sections within the corruption seem a bit nerve-racking, though, so I’m hoping they’re not _too_ frequent ;) Having to shoot the diamond-shaped targets to keep your momentum going also looks like an interesting mechanic.

@jeremycraig6376 Год назад

I am going to be checking this out. For some reason I had it in my head it was a rail shooter. Thanks for enlightening me.

@hyperplayrpg Год назад

A game name perfect for those of us this afternoon, wandering round in circles, checking relentlessly for OLED updates! Pathless looks lush though. Liked Abzu lots.

@SwitchUpYt Год назад

@Katrinioni Год назад

Anything from the creators of Abzu grabs my attention, such a beautiful game! The Pathless looks interesting, maybe a little bit shallow at first glance? It's a nice gameplay loop, and the exploration and traversal look fun, but just feels a tiny bit empty. Maybe it's just the barren landscape, maybe it's just the oversaturation of BOTW-style adventure games on the Switch. Or maybe just the price tag, taking my breath away 😅

@femboy5332 Год назад

I bought it today and the emptiness is hardly noticeable when compared to the beautiful scenery and the sheer speed of the character

After watching your videos for months I am now Moneyless.

@Christophoronomicon Год назад

I absolutely loved Abzû, a game I actually skipped sleep for because I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next, so colour me intrigued by this one. I'm probably not going to buy it at full price (as much as I want to support devs who actually do the work to get a game running well on the Switch, €38 is just too much for me at the moment), but I'm definitely putting it on my wishlist and will get it as soon as it gets a discount. An open world experience that doesn't ask you to invest 60+ hours of your time is always welcome here!

@bamban_garcia5562 Год назад

Amazon PlayStation 5 $21

@AloisAgos Год назад

HIGHLY recommended. I did not expect to be blown away with this game when I bought it on Switch, but it is truly an indie darling worthy of heavy praise and love.

@lawrence703 Год назад

I searched for Austin Wintory Pathless and found a video of the process he took to create 1 minute of music for a game that gets 20/20 for audio. Includes (amongst other locations) a recording session at Abbey Road Studio, London.

@Anni_ka Год назад

Thank you for sharing! I like to listen to his music from Journey, Apotheosis being my favourite, it is just absolute perfection in my opinion. If he or Darren Korb from SuperGiant Games make the music for a game, you know it'll be a great experience!

A well crafted, delightful experience with such a strong identity is awesome to see...but agreed. I find the price a bit...high. $50.00 CAD...whew. But it's not like it won't go down in price over the next year and it will be an immediate yes once it hits that comfortable threshold.

@DjizeusCrayst Год назад

Wow that looks gorgeous! It reminds me of BotW of course but also of Ryme, Aragami and a bit of Shadow of the Colossus ( at least for some landscapes). And if it's made by the devs of Abzu, you know it will deliver that same sense of wonder these games are known for. Definitely tempted to get it, even though I agree that it's a bit expensive for a short game.

@denispetsch7769 Год назад

Looks like something I'd like to play but I'm not giving away that much money for such a short game. Devs were probably so pissed after adapting it for switch that they had to do it + I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo itself is responsible for such high margins.

@samuelc6246 Год назад

Physical coming soon, is that regular retail, or some limited print company handling it? It looks like something I'd like to get physical, regular retail. Hopefully still with a manual or small art book, and inner art, to make the box feel less empty and give us something nice to look at and flip through.

@Chicomite Год назад

Iam8bit released a physical PS5 version a long time ago. They might have the rights to do the physical Switch port now. But probably it will be distributed through a few "limited" sites, and PlayAsia(if it doesn't go to Iam8bit).
