I'm very excited for this game. I've been eyeing it for some time now. Already have it pre-loaded with the DLC. Out of my 70 + Nintendo switch games I only have 4 physical. I will have five physical if and when Void Bastards goes physical. Great review as always thank you for the content have a great day.
Damn, coming from a steam player with over 100hrs in the game. I was really looking forward to a handheld version of this! I'll be watching closely at their patches and will buy if they ever figure out that freeze problem. Thanks for the great review!
@@SwitchCorner Awesome! Honestly, I'm just going to buy it lol it looks amazing on the switch already and I believe the developers will always be working to optimize the game as best as possible. Time to escape the nebula switch style :)
I beat this on Xbox. The gameplay is great, the desolate atmosphere is real, and acquiring and upgrading gear is satisfying. If you like the old Doom games, you'll love this. Lot of really good QoL things in the game like telling you if an item can be used in crafting or you can just junk it, what resources appear on a ship, a very helpful map showing where enemies and treasure are, letting you know if you're about to craft something using an item that's needed to advance the story. The complaint about repetitive levels is a bit misguided as they change later in the game when you go deeper into the nebula. This is a game about quality gameplay, not level variety. Any enemy that gives you trouble has a weakness. Sad to hear the Switch has performance issues. Tl;dr its 90's Doom with rogue elements. Every aspect of the game is fine-tuned and satisfying.
When you say they change are you talking past the end game once you’ve finished let’s say the main story cause obviously we ran through that then some of the challenges and additional filters. I enjoyed my time with it though, really addictive, I’ve actually just installed it on my Xbox though to check it out there as well!
I picked this up on Friday... I love the graphical style and the humour... it reminds me a little of HAL or maybe in some way of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. There is a lot to like about this game and far more to like than to complain about. I always try to pick games like this up because it is the best way that I know to incentivise software houses & Indie devs alike that we want something different.
Looks gorgeous. Very reminiscent visually of the original xbox game VIII. I'll wait for, hopefully, a patch to fix performance issues before I pick this up. Great review and great to see your subscribers increasing every video.
Appreciate it! I’m curious to see how other reviews score this one. I honestly feel I was fair with it. Yeah I was gonna say XIII but I feel that’s a bit of a hidden gem and borderlands more universal. If anything though this looks more like XIII than Borderlands. XIII needs to make a come back
This seems really cool and honestly I never get excited about these games. I’m glad this one kinda sounds like me. Except I really appreciate environments that don’t get repetitive. Thank you for your honesty about performance instead of “Some frame dips here and there but a patch will fix it right up” and glossing over it haha. I really appreciate it because that right there is going to save me my money. Let me know when they get their crap sorted out because putting out a game in this state is unacceptable and flat-out disrespectful to players. That’s how I see it anyway.
I have a lot of faith they will get this one fixed up, Infact I’m gonna jump back in tonight cause I hear they’ve already sorted it out but I wanna confirm for myself! Amazing game with a big flaw right now sadly
Wow, I'm usually not interested in eo shooters, but as a comic book fan the visually are really appealing to me. Hopefully the can patch up the bugs, because I would probably end up buying it. Thanks for the review.
Dunno if it’s casual when it’s plastered over my chest lol, but I gotta say he’s provided a lot of entertainment for me over the years, always appreciated his very unique brand of content and absolute commitment to being honest about how he feels! You a fan of his work? I feel like he is an acquired taste for sure!
@@SwitchCorner I follow Joe since the beginning, since I have the same opinion. Asside from the entertainment, he is not affraid to speak his mind. So when he says don't buy, I don't.
Odd, no performance issues for me. Just very minor frame drops but nothing that's enough to bother me, doesn't interrupt combat just slows things down slightly.
Dip you know why Battlefront or Call of Duty have never made it to the switch? From Wolfenstein and Doom make it clear the hardware can handle it. A y info will be appreciated. Please a d thanks in advance.
Publisher decision I guess plus I don’t think they believe there is a market on the switch. Those games are huge too, battlefront and COD. Latest Warzone for example is 100gb.
I believe the most likely reason Doom, Wolfenstein and their sequels are as playable as they are is the direct result of ID Tech and the optimization of the software/tools/and overall scalable and usability of the engine itself. The team in charge of the Switch port seem extremely familiar with both ID Tech and Switch hardware/architecture. TL:DR, Basically, wizards
So it's the weird love child of Doom and Borderlands and XIII ... Totally dig it but the oxygen element is a deterrent to me. I never liked that in Borderlands the Presequel.. awesome reviews tho
Appreciate it Shyguy, yeah the oxygen is always there. Different ships have different effects but there’s always a countdown, you can never relax shall we say!
Well uh damn. I am buying this. Don't care that it is $45. Sounds like the blast, you sold me on the guy who screamed everytime he looted something LOL.
He drove me insane! It was funny at first and then it just kept on happening. Respect to the developers though here cause they are just committed with everything you know. Most wouldn’t stick with it in the humor like yeah a character who screams at you
@@SwitchCorner Lol, love that sense of humour. Yes I bought it and it is downloading right now. Can't wait to see what character I am thrown the first time (or second) and what goofy stats they have. Thank you for your review.
@@SwitchCorner brutal to say the least lol. Have gone through maybe 5 prisoners so far, and getting owned. Might have to drop the difficulty lol. Besides that I am having a blast, and I like that all the stuff I make stay there for the next prisoner. Negative effects, had a colour blind and a cougher so far. The others have had positive effects such as 25% chance to explore map when docking (something like that). Great game. Hopefully they patch the frame rate issue though, no dramas with it being that bad so far, but a tad noticeable at some points.
Damn I was waiting for this, guess I have to wait little bit more heh I've just lost my job so have to cut my spendings anyway... but I grabbed Star Wars pinball on sale and it's worth it if anyone interested.
@@SwitchCorner You have convinced me to buy it when you mentioned that is complete package without any extra payments(I'm allergic to that shit). Only minus for me after putting almost 20h into it... it is COMPLETE package. Almost half of year since last movie came out and there is no table based on it so I assume there will be no new content. But those 19(!!!) that we already have are so different from each other that I'm not even surprised when I see players in tournaments with over 200h on the clock.
What is the is the dock vs handheld mode in resolution and is it 60fps or 30fps locked or unlocked thats what we need to know who cares about gameplay!
This game caught my attention in other reviews . I’ll probably get it at some point, just based on how cool it looks.
Thx for the review.
Laura.
This game looks amazing . I’ll be picking it up for sure. Really appreciate the review
Thanks for being here as always! Good choice picking it up!
Those of you worried about performance. This was put out by Humble Bundle look at their other games they supported them well, have faith in them.
Totally agree with you here!
I have faith but im still not preordering, have made that mistake before and there is no point in buying before it actually releases.
The game runs great on PC. Bought it on release and still replay it occasionally. It's just too dam fun and hilarious. Switch just sucks hardware wise.
I can confirm I played over 9 hours now and have had Zero Performance issues on the Nintendo switch.
They dropped a patch already? That’s great news if so cause I know a lot of folks were facing the same thing
Is this the shooter we finally deserve on the Switch or are you holding out for something else? Also how do you feel about the performance?

Borderlands 2 is my favorite game ever so I figured I'd be into this so I picked it up on sale...so far I'm underwhelmed
I'm very excited for this game. I've been eyeing it for some time now. Already have it pre-loaded with the DLC. Out of my 70 + Nintendo switch games I only have 4 physical. I will have five physical if and when Void Bastards goes physical. Great review as always thank you for the content have a great day.
Now you need to tell me what the 4 physical you have are! I’m curious!
I'm curious too ! Which are the 4 lucky games ? Did you bought them in the beginning then decided to go full digital ?
Damn, coming from a steam player with over 100hrs in the game. I was really looking forward to a handheld version of this! I'll be watching closely at their patches and will buy if they ever figure out that freeze problem. Thanks for the great review!
I heard some fixes have been made in the comments here! I’ll make sure to check it out tonight and add a pinned comment if I see a fix!
@@SwitchCorner Awesome! Honestly, I'm just going to buy it lol it looks amazing on the switch already and I believe the developers will always be working to optimize the game as best as possible. Time to escape the nebula switch style :)

Yes and XIII is supposed to be coming to Switch this year.
Doom meets borderlands. Got it.
Controls nowhere near doom though! I’ll put that out there now!
Fair play man, honest review. Love the art style on this and SO wanted it to be good.
Get this running at 60 and its a must buy.
Appreciate that! Yeah it was so close, I think you can hear my pain at points!
This seems really cool and honestly I never get excited about these games. I’m glad this one kinda sounds like me. Except I really appreciate environments that don’t get repetitive. Thank you for your honesty about performance instead of “Some frame dips here and there but a patch will fix it right up” and glossing over it haha.

I have had very minor frame dips and I mean very minor. Maybe a patch already came out or I'm lucky. Either way this game is a blast.
Snake Plissken good chance it’s already been patched at this point!
Hi mate, congrats for your enjoyable and objective review. Any news about that update-patch? Cheers!
Wow, I'm usually not interested in eo shooters, but as a comic book fan the visually are really appealing to me. Hopefully the can patch up the bugs, because I would probably end up buying it. Thanks for the review.

I’m with you there, I think his content is nearly always on point and yeah I’d agree, if I don’t like it good chance I won’t!
I will gladly sit through Joe’s hour long game reviews and forget what time it is lol.
Been following AJ since he started. He has come along way.
Great honest review!
Thanks Elvis, sometimes I think I might be too hard on them but you know what I don’t think my requests here are unreasonable! Appreciate the support!
Wanna check this out. The oxygen level thing though; is that much of an issue? Does it deplete quickly and make the game get annoying?
No the oxygen timer isn't much of an issue if you keep on the move.
@@mrbean7289 nice. I just picked it up on sale. Cant wait to try. Thanks. Big fan btw.
Odd, no performance issues for me. Just very minor frame drops but nothing that's enough to bother me, doesn't interrupt combat just slows things down slightly.
This game is awesome! I would love to see a Red Dwarf with this art style.

TL:DR,
Basically, wizards
No gyro controls?
No
Yeah sad to say no!
Such a big decision when considering a FPS on Switch
It should be standard at this point

Appreciate it Shyguy, yeah the oxygen is always there. Different ships have different effects but there’s always a countdown, you can never relax shall we say!
Why does it say it releases today but I still cant play it
Sometimes it can take the eshop some time to update, I find it’s normally around 9am PT for me
@@SwitchCorner thanks for the reply and well probably sometime today I'll be able to play it hopefully
How you enjoying it so far! I hope it’s working by now!
@@SwitchCorner it has dude and I'm loving it. Got pink floyd playing in the background and playing this at night puts you on a trippppp
Revisiting now that it's 50% off. I do love that art style. Also, it does appear to have been patched. 🤘
This would make a great aliens game
Yes it would! That would be amazing!
Well uh damn.
I am buying this. Don't care that it is $45. Sounds like the blast, you sold me on the guy who screamed everytime he looted something LOL.

It was pretty tame for the first few characters for me then it all got a little weird! How’s it going so far?

Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Has it been patched?
Let's hope they patch it! I was looking forward to this one!
I’m hearing some works been done already! I’m gonna jump back in tonight and see what I see!
The freezing kinda ruins it so I'll have to pass on this one
This looks like the second fps I'll be buying for switch. The first being the borderline unplayable Rico.
Killer Seven vibes…🥹🥹🥹
Bomb chicken & splasher
Loved bomb chicken! Splasher I played on PS4 but imagine it’s identical on switch!
What is the is the dock vs handheld mode in resolution and is it 60fps or 30fps locked or unlocked thats what we need to know who cares about gameplay!
So you would buy a game if it was 60FPS without wanting to know anything about the gameplay?
SwitchCorner techspecs only thing that matters to know cuz everything runs like shit on switch. 95% are ported games
Cool accent
Appreciate it Birmingham, UK, peaky blinders home town as most will know it it seems now. No one can understand me though now as I live in America lol
@@SwitchCornerHere London. Definitely better than my weird Spaniard accent. :)
SwitchCorner Hey you pronounce “huge” just like the president so don’t worry you fit right in
@@switchunboxing I think I can do that xD
Lol I think my accent is going to drive a love/hate relationship with people out there!
