I got a physical Switch copy for $20 brand new and it was 35 hours of some of the most fun I've had since getting the Switch on release day. Absolutely perfect game, I really cannot think of a single thing to complain about. I love metroidvanias and I enjoyed it more than any Castlevania game and some Metroid games lol
A really underrated game, and lots of content, too! If you can find it on sale, it's a steal. Thanks for helpful video, and congratulations on your mustache.
I must say for my playthrough on Immortal the best Athra Surge was Gilgamesh. Tbf you unlock it later in the story, but it heals you to full health and the damage increase is not bad as well.
One other tip is when you get the capture ability and don’t want to fight an enemy you can just capture them instead. I do wish I knew certain obstacles like gated I could only pass when I had that bow throw teleport ability. Some of the others I figured I couldn’t do like when something needed more height.
Okay... you know what? I think this game is growing on me. I reckon this will be a refreshing change from large open world games available. (Still going to buy on sale though haha) Amazing video as always!!
4:37 and after that the next area where is the solution for a chest puzzle 😉😉are bugged for me, cant get out of the battles even when killed the enemies
I'm loving this game. Not every game has to be a 30 hour, narrative driven graphical powerhouse of an experience to be enjoyed. Now those are my favorite types of games, but this is good different.
Amulets: I used to wear that time bubble amulets, but it's not really works with bosses, so it's kinda useless. The same goes with the basic attack extender: most of the time you can just land 2 attack, never 6 :D
I think my favorite part about the gameplay mechanics is that Sargon has a fast fall. Unlike his Downward strike he has pretty much no endlag on it which makes it so fun to use for puzzles/platforming that requires timing but its absolutely lovely to use during combat so you can get to the ground quicker for a parry or dodge
There’s a lot of stuff in this game I have to “learn the hard way” Bucause some parts are not intuitive and how am I supposed to know how to proceed when most games today have better design
I smashed my controller yesterday.... because my joystick is not working properly, and that kept messing during long platforming, and that was so frustrating. I never learn, patience and a clear mind is needed to ubisoft games puzzles.
Got it on day 1 on the switch and loved it despite some bugs. Just started playing it again, months later, and the patch fixed a lot. Runs smoothly and the fast travel sound is easier on the ears than it was before. Glad they took out that jarring noise, but it kinda tripped me out cuz I feel like it's rare when patches remove things. . Also, as far as amulets go, I highly recommend chacram tempest. Once you get the timing down, it's one of the best.
Using the platform assist feels like cheating. This game is all about that. Figuring out how to get around a hard area feels so good when you get it done. That’s just me though
So i encountered a quest glitch yesterday.. its the quest where you have to look for the pieces of the moon.. everytime i go to accept the quest and exhaust the dialogue the game just freezes not sure if anyone else has experienced this but ya so far i can't accept that quest cause the game just soft locks once i accept it.
Alright so I went back and checked again and the quest worked but for almost a dozen times the game froze so maybe they fixed it but ya the game is great but I feel like a lot of reviews don't mention how stupidly buggy the game is.
I am currently playing through the game for a second time. It's just too short and I wanted sooooo much more! There are soooo many subtle plot points that I absolutely did not catch the first time. Little foreshadowing things. So, I would recommend a second playthrough anyway. Also, I will say that I retained a lot more of the training with Arteban on this second paythrough. I forgot most of it almost instantly on the first playthrough. I do love Metroidvanias though, so whenever I came to an obstacle I couldn't pass, I knew there would be some kind of power I would unlock later that would let me get past it. Only real issues I had with the actual gameplay or difficulty were caused by glitches that I believe have since been patched. The absolute best and totally OP Athra charge is definitely Rashnu's Judgement. (The counterattack one!) You do have to be somewhat good with the timing, but the window is rather large. I totally could not have beaten the final boss without this! The next best is Soul of Gilgamesh because it completely refills your health and turns Sargon into a complete beast for a surprisingly long amount of time. Of course these are relatively late game. Before getting Soul of Gilgamesh, Bahman's breath is the go too healing spell. As for amulets... I pretty much equip anything that gives Sargon more attack power/damage and/or builds Athra more quickly. And of course, I never take Blade Dancer off! On rare occasions I will use some of the elemental protection amulets and the one that protects from melee damage, but not that much. I used the Shield of Mithra one time to see what it did. Neat effect, but there are so many more useful things, and it takes up 3 slots! That's too many! You keep calling the boss fights OP... Someone clearly did not play Hollow Knight! 🤣 The fact that platform assist exists is a little bit insulting! Anyone using this is cheating and clearly sucks at the game!
I just want to know, where the hell can i save the game? xD I play the demo right now and yes, i already got to this golden tree, where it is said, that you can save the game there. But i didn't find the option at all! Where do i need to go? Which buttons on the switch Controller, do i have to press in order to save the game? Pls help! T w T
Im stuck in a room with no doors that I dropped down into and had 2 treasure chests in it. I can’t get out. Its located right above the words “The Heaven” and looks like a pyramid. How do I get out???
I'm trying to get spectre of the seas as one of my last trophys. It requires me to jump in mid air and freeze to use my disc spinner to open a window. Iv seen many do it online but I don't know how. Does anybody know how to stall in order to throw it?? Please help as all I can do is shoot arrows
3:53 on the switch I'm finding it way too easy to trigger those moves. it's real easy (for me.) to press parry and attack together. which triggers whichever power is set to (Y) and you can't change the controls. don't get me wrong. 2hrs in and that's my only complaint. so far the game is fantastic. better than I was expecting. afters some less than satisfying Ubisoft games.
I had the money I was going to pull the trigger and buy it but luckily I googled all about this game so many upgrades you can upgrade everything but there's no new game plus to carry that stuff over that's a big No-No for me and that's a big problem
am totally stuck on the time powers mission where you have about 6 seconds to open the door? any tips? its so hard and its making me want to stop playing the game altho i enjoy it so much and dont want to stop
@@lenochodik2 av done the first 2 bits its the bit where you have to do the run in so many seconds, really pissing me off, over 2 hours av spent trying, am ready to forget the game existed lol
@@paullally5956 you need to use the shadow/clone power. on the first life you need to get about halfway around the course and drop a clone just before the time runs out, then on the second life, immediately ping to the clone and finish the course standing on the button to open the door, then with your third life you can walk up and through the open door to end the level.
Into the add new game plus I'm not buying this game now if it hits game pass I will download it and play it but without new game plus it's not worth me purchasing that is a big problem in my opinion I was actually going to buy it but luckily I did no it is not worth my time doing all of this work and there's no new game plus only for me to start all over again with upgrading if I want to play it again what was the developers thinking this game definitely needs a new game plus that was an oversight
That's a big problem for me they need to update this game to have a new game plus I know some games don't need a new game plus but this one does that's a big No-No for me and I don't want to invest my time or money into this game without a new game plus I'm not buying it
good video not accurate but good dat money do those walla , u threw chakram at them , which opened them , ie force now your swords are not made out of plastic u can destroy them with your swords , but then as a gamer since 1980s and a disabled gamer i know that your given everything u need to beat game
Some games just need a new game plus this is my big problem with this game this is why I'm not buying it there's no new game plus this is a big game and you can upgrade your stuff it definitely cost for a new game plus with all of the upgrades so if I want to play this game again I have to start from scratch with upgrading
Honestly, i didnt like this game. I finished it, and im a massive fan of rogue likes. I play stuff like hades and ghostrunner. This games boss fights feel like too much time waste.
I'm on PS5 and encountered tons of bugs from gameplay to certain quests freezing my game etc... game is still great but there is bugs just some people haven't encountered them but I definitely have lol
Until they add a new game plus I don't want nothing to do with this game I don't care about the game being 2D that's what a lot of people was complaining about that doesn't bother me the game looks good my problem is all of the upgrades in this game definitely needs a new game plus

I got it on sale via Xbox store for £19.99 and really enjoyed it.

Yes Andy, great video, can’t wait for this game, it was one I was on the fence about until your videos, so thank you for the breakdown and hype!
How much did ubisoft pay you to say that?
Perfect timing Andy, I'm playing this weekend and really enjoying it so far, great tips as always my friend, thank you!
Okay... you know what? I think this game is growing on me.
I reckon this will be a refreshing change from large open world games available.
(Still going to buy on sale though haha)
Amazing video as always!!
This game is awesome. This is what old school gaming was about. Precision and not just Hack & Slash or FPS.

Extremely helpful! Love the amount of settings you can tweak to make things easier or harder in this game. I wish more titles would do the same.

Ah, yet another AR video with some soup and steak! 🍻
The platforming in this game is so phenomenal.
Playing this game on my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and it works flawlessly. I'm hookedd is such a great game.

I didn’t know about the fast travel tip about going back to haven immediately. NOTED.
After seeing your two videos, certainly going to purchase. Great job!
wooohoooo! 🎉

Facts
It’s for old people bro
Cool story bro @@dantrav1927
One of my favorite side scroller games of all time.
This game deserves more attention!!!
Awesome stuff, man!
Thank you!!
Really enjoying so far!
First thing I’d love to know before buying was that you could not upgrade standard version to premium one.
There are more costumes to unlock there bro, your missing Lilac, from a very difficult spike puzzle,and warrior within skin also!
So i encountered a quest glitch yesterday.. its the quest where you have to look for the pieces of the moon.. everytime i go to accept the quest and exhaust the dialogue the game just freezes not sure if anyone else has experienced this but ya so far i can't accept that quest cause the game just soft locks once i accept it.

Yup got this too
Alright so I went back and checked again and the quest worked but for almost a dozen times the game froze so maybe they fixed it but ya the game is great but I feel like a lot of reviews don't mention how stupidly buggy the game is.
I had this glitch too. A workaround is to turn off your controller and then turn it back on. The dialogue then continues.

Currently the physical is on sale 25-30$ !! Good deal!!
I never had to do the door unlocking with the time travel places and I did it on hard mode.🤷🏻♂️

Get closer to the tree then press the left stick upward to interact.
the tree is the save point
Thanks! I've also heard, that i can't save my game in the Demo Version. ^^'' I thought that it's possible, but it's not.@@alphahunterd
Try Persian audio the first time they’ve done
Ubi - fix bugs. I didn't recive talisman for completing "mothers love" quest. And i need to start new play through, for platinum trophy
Im stuck in a room with no doors that I dropped down into and had 2 treasure chests in it. I can’t get out. Its located right above the words “The Heaven” and looks like a pyramid. How do I get out???
20 hours to unlock the whole map?? Damn I need to get a wriggle on
#teamearly 🎉
I just finished the game in 15 hours but it shows just 57% completion, feels like I speed ran the whole game
exploration will get 100% like finding chests and defeating smaller bosses

Enemies respawn when leaving the area not resting at wak wak tree. I hate this mechanic.
Some very interesting tips.
How to get the green doors on the maps my maps doesn't show it
Thanks!
Why you have bird with you is that some kind of trick
Deluxe edition bonus amulet, helps to find treasures/secrets
Just to ask can you pull off melee combos lick in hack & slash games? (,x,x,x,x,y,y,y,y x,y,x,y,x,y,x,y)

I got my platinum and completed it to 100 percent yesterday. Great game that’s why I’m here to see someone else’s opinion.
am totally stuck on the time powers mission where you have about 6 seconds to open the door? any tips? its so hard and its making me want to stop playing the game altho i enjoy it so much and dont want to stop
You mean that puzzle where you run it three times. My advice is that you can port between clones with LB. This makes that obstacle course really easy.
@@lenochodik2 av done the first 2 bits its the bit where you have to do the run in so many seconds, really pissing me off, over 2 hours av spent trying, am ready to forget the game existed lol

Never knew platform assist.. and it makes the game more challenging
The worst part is going back to those areas...and hoping you didn't miss any.
Damn dude! You look like mario😂
Dude... I think only 20 people play this game... I just found out it existed like yesterday

Im 6 hours in and had at least 10 bugs. Its a good game but it needs polish.
@matjakobs: Playing it on the PS5 without any issues.
Near to 100% the game, had exactly 0 bugs
I'm on PS5 and encountered tons of bugs from gameplay to certain quests freezing my game etc... game is still great but there is bugs just some people haven't encountered them but I definitely have lol
Playing on the switch and I'm not receiving the petals, I didn't get the flower or anything after defeating the forest lady
What bugs are they? I haven't encountered none
Spoiler alert would be nice!
Thanks babushka
With out a new game plus is not worth my time
