@solarwolf07 it's 23 seconds.

Played it back on the 'cube. Got stuck on a dungeon. Revisted a year or 2 ago on PC. This review pretty much sums out how I felt about it. Now I'm older, the dialogue was a slog, and I've seen far better battle systems that just make this one feel that I had no real control over my main char let alone 'party'.

Good review. Certainly made me feel better that the game never clicked a 2nd time! At least I have Arise...

@Ralizah can you elaborate on questionnable char design?

DQ11 offered no challenge. To hear this offers less, damn...

Doesn't matter what we want when Nintendo won't give it.

@Jacket_p how do you think people make money?

Trailer gives me a headache.

Can't understand how any hardware could run Saturn games.

Hellblade and action in the same sentence? All I remember is fiddling around aligning objects. Couldn't stand it.

"the much-anticipated farming RPG"? Certainly not the reaction I got from it's unveiling.

I don't own the game. I've not played it. I do know however, that the screenshots are absymal and don't do the game justice. The reviewer should have compared the game to games that they'd played, not once they've dabbled with.

Commenters! (Not video):-
Please stop talking about it when you don't understand, and saying "optimisation" like you work on this as an expert. Such engines that most of us utilise in the industry: UE4, Unity, GM, etc. We do not (usually can't) optimise them. This is not the point of them. They are not open, they're locked down tool sets. Sometimes one learns the engine and it gets you the jobs. We make the game — not making equivalent to Havok Physics (even BotW uses this) or writing shader compilation, rendering techniques, shadow volumes/mapping etc. THis is how most games developer are. Not C/C++ experts like previous eras where these legends now make the engines.

Witcher 3 is REDengine. P5R uses in-house engine. No Man's Sky has so much on a technical level that I do not have the effort to say. Doom is using id Tech. Resi and Monster Hunter are own engine. It is no surprise to you, big talented houses with own engines prosper here? Of Course Ark is using UE4

I would prefer less hardware-driven demands and more software. It is something missing. Remember there was bespoke versions of Dead Space, CoD on Wii and DS platforms. Did not fight to get the multi-plat version downgraded, it was a bespoke build. Many good games made just for these platforms.

Switch does not quite have the punch to run first party well for current standards. BotW is very lag game, and drops to mid 20fps many times. However, since 17 you can use this portably with a few hours battery. Trade off is always there. You can play open world action game on Steam Deck 60fps for how long...?

When I was studying, I thought we all wanted powerful consoles, realistic graphics, VR; and to play this on huge TVs systems and sat in home cinemas w/ surround sound. I got that totally wrong. I thought mobile games would dominate and kill off handhelds - also, wrong. Obviously (!), we want small portable screen core video games on low powered hardware.... but still expect latest 3D graphical tech to run!!!

Please hold your punches, some of us have to do this work to pay the mortgage and family. You don't argue with your doctor or mechanic and pretend to be expert. Only with us you do it.

Will it not have the same music as well?

Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link is objectively the best place to start.

Bangers confirmed

Another roguelike? Groan.. it is Shovel Knight, but... :/

A true classic

@SpaceboyScreams i love Elden, but it's a taken a ten+ year gap between the games in question

@Debo626 agreed but thing is mate, what else has come out since that's high fantasy, open world? Always being told the market's saturated with that theme alone, I don't see that at all!

It's a shame Skyrim still has any relevancy at all now. It's been so long, we should have gotten way better open world high fantasy titles from the industry.

Would be nice if the enemies actually fought back in this game

To think back in the day we got FF7, 8, 9, and Tactics on one console...

Steel Battalion is just so unique a game, and something I've never seen the likes of since that original Xbox game.

The term Metroidbrainia has been misunderstood for years. Kate fails to have done her homework on the history of Mystroidvanias nor understands the basics of Brainmospheric (Brmups) game design.

Hopping onto Switch later this year - one frame at a time!

Do they warn about drift safety as well?

Got my hopes up. Nintendo make themselves hard to like.

It's a fantastic game. I think 97 is too low. Once they improve performance, I reckon it will be higher based on my personal opinious thus far. I've been completely blown away and wish you all could experience the same enjoyment I am.

I hope all of you can appreciate that a terrific achievement has been made by FROM, for us as gamers, and pray that Elden one day comes to a Nintendo platform.

Games like these need killer soundtracks. It's what makes a great Castlevania for example.

Would not recommend 198X to anyone. Way too short to hand money over for it, sadly.

Can't see most games people seem to want being able to run on the Switch.

Expensive upgrade for PC to start all over again.

You aren't heading eastwards. You're heading to the left... Might want to edit that

Great game -r eally enjoyed it. be warned, it is short.

The more people that can play it the better.

• Age of Empires 2
• Dread

@Sam_TSM step your game up

Kid Icarus Uprising 2

MVG is a DEV. and knows more about this than most of you, who are just players. You wouldn't question a doctor or a pilot...

Wife and I finished it twice, 2nd time on hard. The pets/animal free DLC was cool - would like a big more information on this one to see if it's worth a 3rd playthrough.

NB: played a lot of roguelikes but this one is my fave.

@anoyonmus guess they heard me. Hah!

A lot of this music isn't available on Spotify, and it's usually removed if it is. Quite frustrating. Even the linked playlist has some removed tracks already!

Looks like a mobile game.

Would not excite me.

Shame that both the writer and producer are now left out. It's certainly going to be a very different show.

It's getting frustrating to see these games remain Japanese exclusives.

THE WIFE IS GOING TO FIND HER IPAD IS MISSING FOR A FEW DAYS.

Honestly expected more folk to be demanding GTA V on Switch.

I'd like to see a standalone G-Darius HD in the west.

@JJtheTexan meanwhile GRRM is laughing at the notion of "finishing books"
