First things first - grab your headphones and a nice drink. This game deserves your time. I can't quite put my finger on what this game reminds me of, but I love it! Let me know what you think of this one (Mark)
I would love to have also Journey on the Switch, it is true that challenge is one of the main drivers for games but also is to allow the player to disconnect from reality and experience another live immersively.
Yup already have the ps4 version I might as well double dip at that price..basically I’m going to get it for free since I purchased the sniper elite 4 deluxe edition and I got 250 gold coin points.
Im sure this isn't switch footage!? and be warned the audio on this weak port is pure trash! Almost couldn't finish it due to huge crackling from ultra poor mastering....keep your £2
@@SwitchUpYt Really? I kinda want it now. That's how you guys made me buy Horizon Chase Turbo at full price. Worth every penny, that one. Made me wish I can unbuy Gear.Club Unlimited
You do leave but not for long. If you enjoyed Flower and Journey then you would enjoy this. It's very short but I loved it. Super relaxing and some seriously impactful music. (Mark)
Looks like it runs great on the switch, glad the developers worked there magic on this as it chugged a bit on my ps4. Not quite up there with Journey but it's a beautiful little game. It is short took me 3.5 hours and I was exploring a lot but how many times have you spent £16 on a really bad movie for 2 hours. This is worth it and hope it jumps up the charts. Glad you guys took the time to highlight this nice gem
bought this on the eshop for $1.99, this review made me go for it! seems like a very interesting game. i'm a big fan of games that have such good audio. watched this review with my headphones 😁
Jace instructed me to wear headphones and I’m glad I did. Just watching the review immersed me in this game and now I’m eager to explore on my own now! Wonderfully done Mark. It filled me with such wonderment.
On a footnote, your absolutely right about choosing games you think your audience will enjoy Mark. there are so many releases a week on switch , whats the point of focusing on the shovelware? there are plenty of negative tubes for crap games. i personally i enjoy watching videos on what i fancy purchasing, and also how games i already own on other platforms perform in terms of the tegra chip and my fave games in handheld mode. there is plenty of negative sites on you tube if you want that.
Exactly, if it's a game people are interested in and it turns out bad then that's fine I'll review it. But as you mention, there are way too many games to review the shovel ware. Thanks man (Mark)
I LOVE games where you restore/rebuild the world around you (there must be a name for that genre, but IDK what it is, PLEASE tell me if anyone knows, it's one of my FAVES, lol), so this game looks AWESOME for that, plus the colors and music and beautiful world around it! lol. Thanks so much! Really loved this review! Your voice is really relaxing, as is your style of reviewing! You've earned my sub!
A very well written review. This game is wonderful, I had a fantastic time with it and will definitely replay it again soon. Much like Journey, this game is what you make of it. I kept stopping for extended periods to admire the marine life and architecture of the city. Not everything needs to be high stress explosions and war and this is a worthy purchase. Thanks SwitchUp! ❤️
I most definitely need to play this. Underwater exploration combined with discovery of an ancient civilization and I’m sold. Going to get Jace’s credit card. Merry Christmas to me.
i like the emphasis on the music from the video title! ... i really enjoyed this game play through... too late, if it came earlier to the switch i would’ve bought... but great video review as always !!
great review, Mark. really made me want to check out this game. seems to be a case where all things fall together in a near perfect way. the question on my mind the whole review was if there is ever a sense of danger or losing anything but as the review went on i got the idea. completely agree with the value score. sorry i have been out of commission for a bit. life has been bringing down the hammer. hope you guys are well.
I've ADORED Journey, even though I hadn't had the chance to actually play it but saw a full walkthrough and I was so excited when I found out Abzu is from the same team that created Journey. It's so common nowadays that all games have to have that element of non-stop action, but I believe that in these times that we're living in, with all the hustle and rushed itineraries, a slow paced game can be a really good thing to play. We can't be always in a rush, or nervous, or excited or scared ALL THE TIME. We also need peace, rest, and time to take in what surrounds us, both visually and auditively. I'm super excited to try this one myself on my Switch Lite, and now that it's being on sale, it's a great time to get it and start enjoying it with an easy mind, at a calmed pace and taking in every beautiful escenary that crosses our way. Thanks a lot for the review!
Another stop and stare! This game looks phenomenal. What a great review and I think it's def. worth buying. I'm looking forward to getting lost in the serenity of this game and One I would love to let my kiddo play as well!
And that is why I trust your review..I hope other youtubers like beat, rgt, and other switch reviewers would do like this...its so much simpler and give a broader idea about the game that we would likely spend 60 bucks on.. Thanx bro... I hope you get more subscriber... . Maintain ur style.. 👌... Oh and I'm getting this game now haha
Mark said lovely, Glen said pointless 😂 this is why I like this channel so much, honesty at its best. More Devs need to get their games released at £10.
Great review. yeh , i have this on another platform.. and journey , and flower, flow, etc. A big fan of the dev. looks like it runs beautifully on switch. Abzu again reminds me of a game from the past , and the same feelings i got from that, i got from this, including what you picked up on in abzu..highlighting the destruction of the seas: Echo the Dolphin.
Your review inspired me to buy this game. LOVED IT! ... the most amazing part is that its based on the first tablet of the Enuma Elish, the Sumerian creation tale. There is supposedly a place in the sea called the Abzu, in which Enki was creating life, much like the Apsu, in which humans were created, but on land. ...that's what i've spent the last decade of my life studying, ancient astronaut theorist here. i have my own channel dedicated to this stuff, but... i just wanted to say thanks. I loved the game.
Your review does this game justice. The game really clicked with me the moment I was swimming alongside a humpback whale and the way the music became more grandiose with that moment.
Good review. I loved the developer's previous games, so I'll probably pick this one up soon as well. If you enjoy this sort of game I think you should look into reviewing Forgotton Anne as well, because well, frankly I'm a bit disappointed by how few people seemingly have taken notice of this little gem. Sure, the gameplay is nothing soecial, but the storytelling, music and visuals are all quite brilliant. Especially the animation was spectacular. I finished it in two evenings and absolutely loved my time with it. It was the perfect game to just settle down for with a hot chocolate and just get sucked into its world.
Another Top Notch Quality review Mark, I agree with you about the visuals and that Superb music, I found it very relaxing when I played it. It’s the sort of thing you need after a stressful day to play with the headphones on in a darkened room and a beer or maybe a glass of red and just immerse yourself in the game. 😊 Waiting now for the likes of My Time At Portia and Firewatch to finally be released. Keep up the Great work Mark. ❤️
Just got this for £1 on the EShop. I've been curious about this one for a while and at that price it would be rude not to. It's completely different to anything else I've got in my collection.
I’ve played this game before and it is easily worth your money! Not many games like this are made anymore, which makes it a very unique get. I’m thrilled that it’s on the switch :) this is just an idea guys, but have you ever thought about making a weekly podcast? That would me an amazing thing to look forward to each week ^.^
Wow guys you are reviewing a load of good games even if they are not the type I play I see appreciate seeing them and getting an honest review, this game is on my list Def
Honestly I'm in Colombia, in the road, sorry for the black out, kinda difficult to communicate when you are in another country, will redeem myself in March, although maybe will miss my birthday (February 22) I'm really sorry for not telling the switchup family
Simply put its art. Not denigrating other games either. Just like there are movies and then there a Kubrick film. I felt the same with Journey. Playing catchup on SwitchUp reviews today
Played this on PC where I could actually use my $300 headset and 4k monitor. Absolutely beautiful game. The part with the giant pyramid actually inspired fear in me to a point where I needed to pauses and take my headset off cause I realized i was breathing heavy.
I played this already on ps4, it was great. I played on a big screen tv with my headphones on, I'm not sure playing it in handheld would deliver the same sense of epicness.
This game looks and sounds like a well produced and beautifully made immersive experience, something I hear millennial seam to enjoy these days! 😝 In all seriousness, I hope it’s eventually released on a physical copy and I’m sure it will be. I’ll be ordering. Special edition for sure!!
Hahaha I feking love how passionate you always are. You're never a fence person. You either love something or turd on it from a great height and I like that. (Mark)
I've just completed this game on Switch and it is definitely underwater Journey (not that that's a bad thing). But my experience was slightly ruined by the music becoming very crackly throughout all the most significant scenes. Has anyone else noticed this with the Switch version?
I mean!!! I don’t even know where to begin!! This game is such a beautiful experience!!! You want a calm soothing place to be in?? This game is it for me! Get your headphones on and get lost in the ocean 🌊
I’m intimidated by the ocean as well. I think it’s beautiful but I prefer to look at it. I think this game will allow us thalassophobiaks to explore it from the safety of our living room!
Truly lovely game, except that you didn't mention how HORRIFYING it can be! I might just have issue with underwater, but felt so epicly betrayed by the game when that first shark shows up. Sad to think that Journey won't ever make it to the Switch, I think it's forever locked to PS.
Hehe I didn't want to spoil too much, buy you're right. I never felt under threat from the sealife myself, it was the"other" things I was worried about. (Mark)
I was watching the eShop trailer last night and I closed the video as soon as I saw it quoting PewDiePie. Now that I have Mark's opinion, though, this is going into my wishlist. It seems very nice, but I wouldn't pay it so much. I'll wait for a sale far from SSB. :P
When you get an indie game that's not mainstream be in the top charts on the switch eshop you tend to wonder who and where they are. It feels weird knowing that they've kind of joined together into this comment section.
This game is appalling on the Nintendo Switch. The frame rate is not steady. There’s no blur from frame to frame, which seriously would’ve helped. And then there is the worst part… There is something seriously wrong with the implementation of the audio, especially in regards to the Music. It’s incredibly harsh and loud, peaking at times, causing audible distortion. This is a fail of a port and a disservice to the original game.
For real it's crazy this review doesn't mention it... wouldn't say it ruined the experience for me but yeah that was quite annoying especially near the end. And you're clearly not the first person I see mentioning this issue.
Utterly shocked this review doesn't talk about the TERRIBLE audio quality of this port. The audio gets so saturated when the sound or music gets loud it's rather awful, and I've seen so many people noticing it as well. I wouldn't say it ruined the experience (game is very short), but some parts get really unpleasant near the end (the credits song is almost unlistenable honestly). I don't know what happened, but I can't believed this issue wasn't brought up in this review. You can even hear this saturation in some parts of the video, I thought this was maybe just YT but nah it's the same in the game... how did they forgot to talk about this ? Or maybe they didn't noticed it which seems unbelievable. In the end another one of these "if you can do it on something else than the Switch, do it" games. Still had a good time but they messed up bad with the audio.
What about the audio! Its so bad its almost unplayable. What an awful job they have done mastering this dreadful port if an absolutely stunning game. Also sceptical if that's actually switch footage 🤔 I have just finished it (with the sound off) and it looks NOTHING like that.
IGN complaining there’s too much water in Abzu is like complaining that space has too many stars. Oh really? What are you gonna do about it? Take the stars out of space?

SwitchUp endless ocean on Wii?
Pocket Dweller that's the one!!
The original Tomb Raider, very similar musical score.
Journey? Lol.
Is it a bit like Endless Ocean on Wil console maybe it reminds you of ?
This game is currently on sale £7.49 in the e-shop

Yeah it's one I would love to see as well. We can only hope! (Mark)
Can’t believe they have gone on sale for 90% off
I came to look up reviews of the game to find out what the catch is lmao. I’m surprised it’s only $1.99
Yup already have the ps4 version I might as well double dip at that price..basically I’m going to get it for free since I purchased the sniper elite 4 deluxe edition and I got 250 gold coin points.

IGN actually put 'too much water' as a con? It's an underwater sim. Be weird if there's walking around

There actually is walking around, later in the game.

Yeah, it really does run well. Surprisingly so. There are a couple of frame rate drops, but it generally runs amazingly. (Mark)
So you would rec switch version over ps4 version
Still one of my favorite games. Can I just say it was an Abzu-lutely beautiful experience ❤️

I would *never* so much as dip a toe into to ocean....to much going on in there. I would however like to play this game lol. Great review guys 👍
Haha nice one Cappy, I hope you will get a chance to dive into this one. (Mark)
I’m intimidated by the ocean as well. I think it’s beautiful but I prefer to look at it. I think this game will allow us thalassophobiaks to explore it from the safety of our living room!
@@shannonglover5444 You just won the language award for the day! (Mark)
@@shannonglover5444 haha exactly! Explore the ocean....from the comfort of our beds. It does look like a really cool game
though I'm not a fan of "walking sims" or plain exploration games there was another similar game I was suprised I ended up enjoying. Valley.
Truly lovely game, except that you didn't mention how HORRIFYING it can be! I might just have issue with underwater, but felt so epicly betrayed by the game when that first shark shows up. Sad to think that Journey won't ever make it to the Switch, I think it's forever locked to PS.
Hehe I didn't want to spoil too much, buy you're right. I never felt under threat from the sealife myself, it was the"other" things I was worried about. (Mark)
Its on sale right now in the uk e shop
I'm not sure if I would like this or not. Because I always hated the underwater levels in most games. But this game takes place entirely underwater.
I was watching the eShop trailer last night and I closed the video as soon as I saw it quoting PewDiePie.
Now that I have Mark's opinion, though, this is going into my wishlist.
It seems very nice, but I wouldn't pay it so much. I'll wait for a sale far from SSB. :P
Hehehe yeah probably not their best quote haha! Thanks though, I appreciate the compliment! (Mark)
Omg, exact same thing happened to me last night!
I did the exact same thing a few days ago, hahaha!! I can't stand that twat.
So this is underwater Journey?
shinsekai into the depths some review??
This game is only in digital format?? or is there a physical format?

“Immersive” Ha!
Beautiful game
It really is!! (Mark)
I forgot to mention... Its 15 dollars now
Nice game but i highly recommend Endless Ocean on the wii.
Its like Shinsekai in a 3D kind of way
I wish there was a mobile port as well
How much are your cinema tickets?
When you get an indie game that's not mainstream be in the top charts on the switch eshop you tend to wonder who and where they are. It feels weird knowing that they've kind of joined together into this comment section.
How does this compare with Subnautica?
Not played that I'm afraid. (Mark)
This game is appalling on the Nintendo Switch. The frame rate is not steady. There’s no blur from frame to frame, which seriously would’ve helped. And then there is the worst part…
There is something seriously wrong with the implementation of the audio, especially in regards to the Music. It’s incredibly harsh and loud, peaking at times, causing audible distortion.
This is a fail of a port and a disservice to the original game.
For real it's crazy this review doesn't mention it... wouldn't say it ruined the experience for me but yeah that was quite annoying especially near the end. And you're clearly not the first person I see mentioning this issue.
It’s only 1GB? Damn!
Great game. Mark
Yeah! I feel like having something this beautiful and immersive right in my face on my Switch will be perfect too.
Utterly shocked this review doesn't talk about the TERRIBLE audio quality of this port. The audio gets so saturated when the sound or music gets loud it's rather awful, and I've seen so many people noticing it as well. I wouldn't say it ruined the experience (game is very short), but some parts get really unpleasant near the end (the credits song is almost unlistenable honestly). I don't know what happened, but I can't believed this issue wasn't brought up in this review. You can even hear this saturation in some parts of the video, I thought this was maybe just YT but nah it's the same in the game... how did they forgot to talk about this ? Or maybe they didn't noticed it which seems unbelievable.
In the end another one of these "if you can do it on something else than the Switch, do it" games. Still had a good time but they messed up bad with the audio.
Does anyone know if I can get this on the switch in Australia?I WANT IT SO BAD😂

What about the audio! Its so bad its almost unplayable. What an awful job they have done mastering this dreadful port if an absolutely stunning game. Also sceptical if that's actually switch footage 🤔 I have just finished it (with the sound off) and it looks NOTHING like that.
You still can't be echo the dolphin Sega CD soundtrack
IGN complaining there’s too much water in Abzu is like complaining that space has too many stars. Oh really? What are you gonna do about it? Take the stars out of space?
This is £1.49 on eshop right now
