Happy gaming! Glen
Played this on GP. Very unique game. I liked it
Looks like Azdin stole a good one away from you guys for the review. Good for him.
@@sevensyns7732 he’s a wolf. Stealing good sheep is what he does
@@kaidorade1317 I like that, very good point.
Very good review, I really enjoyed this game, only complaint is it wasn’t quite as scary as I had hope it would be, otherwise it a great experience.
This game is really good from what I've played so far. Ordered a physical copy immediately & can't wait to play more of this amazing survival horror game.
Yeah, buti just don't like how they give you less clues on how to complete puzzles
@@redcrimson1028 it's actually completely in what they give you in the game. would suggest going through your "memories". On Xbox there's a shortcut of the select key to get there.
@The Code Always Wins oh yeah? Shortcut to the key? Been months since I've played that game so I kinda don't know what you're talking about.
@@redcrimson1028 typo -- meant button
@@redcrimson1028 he just meant there's a button that takes you to an archive of all the notes you've found
Being a die-hard horror fan especially during the PS1-PS2 era, I played Signalis on the hardest difficulty (Survival) and my goodness was it perfection. I can't recommend it enough!
I had not heard of this game until it came out; it’s strange that a game that was so well made received such little marketing. If you like old-school Silent Hill or Resident Evil then this is a must buy. There’s a very cool setting and story here as well which charts its own path in some ways while also very obviously having some very strong influences.
it was made by two people and published by a couple indie publishers so I don't think they had much of a marketing budget
It is a game made with passion and love for both their own cultures (Germany) history and the PS1 era of horror-games. :)
Currently playing this game. With 3 hrs in I can honestly say it's one of the best to come out this year. I love everything about this game.
Love Signalis. Will play it again on hardest difficulty. One of the best games this year imo. I do agree with some critiques here though, you should be able to move the camera a bit faster in those first person sections and I personally think the flashlight should not take up an inventory slot. Other than that its class. Will buy the physical copy.
I was more annoyed at the subweapons still taking up an inventory slot when they're equipped. They're based on Resident Evil Remake, but in that game there was a separate inventory slot for your subweapon. Add that to your default inventory space being the same as the hardest option in RE and you often only have 1 slot open if you take your gun, ammo for it, a subweapon, a healing item, and one key card, which is really just the essentials. How could you take less than that. I suppose you could just rely on the ten bullets in your gun, and leave the subweapon behind, but then why even put them in the game at that point
@@rooty yup i frequently just went with my gun and no ammo, hoping to find ammo on the way, sometimes brought no healing either and if i was out of space i would often use a heal i picked up that I didnt need just to save me cominf back.
Aha! A SwitchUp review! I'll just delay going to sleep for a bit then. Let's see what kind of game this is then.
This one is right up my street. Will wait on a physical release and snap it up for sure, cheers guys!
When it comes to horror, which is my favorite genre, the #1 aspect is to have an engaging and tense environment. Most of the time, jump scares can be overused to the detriment of the game. I am looking forward to playing this one however since it's style is largely different than most that we normally see.
Would never have heard of this game without your review and I think this is up my street.
Will have to be a wish list game tho.
Although I may wait on physical.
your in for a treat. excellent game. I wanted to wait for physical but couldnt wait anymore so I downloaded it on switch. Beat it and liked it so much I ordered the physical anyway lol
Off topic but I just checked the switch up store to buy a shirt or sweater and I’m disappointed in one thing. We need a “let’s find out” switch up shirt asap! Also nice review I was looking into this game as well. Awesome job as always
We'll get it made
@@SwitchUpYt let’s go!!!
Good review! This is a must play for fans of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dead Space and Alien Isolation. Genuinely unnerving, with excellent puzzle design and world-building. I couldn't believe it was primarily put together by two people!
Great review SwitchUP crew!
I've recently subscribed and been enjoying your reviews since. Your reviews remind me of the great old days of G4 (not to be confused with the revival). Fair, modest and dives deep into the different aspects of a game that come together to make it enjoyable. Signalis is already in my wishlist although I opted for Dreamlight Valley which your review convinced me to give it try and oddly enough I'm enjoying it. But knowing that there's a physical I'll snatch that up when I can. Thanks again and looking forward to more.
Cyberpunk metal gear/RE? Sign me up! Looks like a super interesting game - thanks for the review, y’all!
The aiming reminds me of a combination of classic Resident Evil tank aiming controls as well as Resident Evil Gaiden for the original Gameboy. Resident Evil Gaiden had a unique shooting and aiming system on Gameboy where if a zombie touched you then you would enter a battle screen and have to click at the right time on a meter to make your shots land (almost like the active reload feature that I loved from the Gears of War series).
"Off spring of Metal Gear Solid & Resident Evil" - that's a hell of a pitch! Gotta check this out!
Absolutely LOVE this game. Was able to decipher all puzzles with just a little bit of thinking and what they gave me. My new favorite classic RE just edging out REMake.
This looks fantastic, I will have to order the physical edition!
I’ve been playing through this and loving it. It’s a great game that brings out the nostalgic feels and the stress, lol. I love it.
thanks for the review, im going to check this out. curious if the music in the background of the video is from the game? i really like it
This is an awesome game. I thought I had finished it but when I went to start a new game everything was different and I had realized that the game was actually continuing. I’m about 17 hours in and still going.
Just finished it the other day, literally amazing
Reminds me of Fear Effect on PS1. Love the art style. Especially for the platform. Piqued my interest.
Great review, wouldn't look twice otherwise, now off to the backlog!
This game is great! Seriously. Not too big on horror, but do like games like Dead Space, couple RE’s, etc. this one is top notch tho
I love everything about this game’s vibe
In in love with this game, a great tribute to PS1 survival horror.
An unespected surprise😎
Pre ordered the physical version also preordered the physical version of Prodeus! Humble games are such an awesome studio! 😊
I have been following this game for a while. Will pick up me thinks.
Holding the attack key during lock on makes your shot more accurate
I'm not especially interested in this game (I watched because I hadn't even heard of it), but I do have to say they nailed a really nice looking visual mood and tone.
Definitely waiting for a sale on this. It looks like a great game but for some reason I just can't justify full price on it. I think at 25% or more off I'll be interested and scoop it up.
Loved it but big silent hill fan so it's my sort of game. Ordered a physical copy.
Good game but kick in the balls difficult at times, rule of six inventory rule is brutal. Backtracking for items you couldn’t pick up means you’ll be reviving already downed enemies along the way.
Perhaps I'll pass
@@InnerRise hard at times but still good
Just finished Call of Jauraz (which you made me buy) brilliant game made extra special for
£1.79, now holding out for the BF deals!
I’m hanging out for the physical in February (£25 - barjhan!) but I can’t wait to play this 👻
1:15 in and just want to make some corrections. Gestalts are humans, Replikas are, well, replicas of humans. Neither are really cyborgs. Replikas have different unit types based on their purpose. Gestalts do not only serve administrative roles. Other than that, decent review.
"There are no tank controls here at all"
There's a tank control option in the menu...
I was literally thinking about this game while i was walking just now. Good timing ;))
This looks like a pixel art anime. I really love the aesthetics of this game. I put it on my wish list about a week ago. My backlog is out of control. 😭 Thanks for another stellar review guys.👍🏿
It’s coming out on physical in the US?! In February?! Let’s gooooooo! I’ll pick it up then. 👍
Might have been Game of the Year if not for Elden Ring.
But, man, the six item slots had me sweating.
Played it on PC. Loved it. Limited inventory is a bit annoying because it's like the first Resident Evil playing as Chris but you have to pick up so many more items that constant backtracking gets a bit tiresome. It's really my only criticism of it, though.
Another amazing review from my favourite Nintendo channel!!!
This one flew under my radar, need to snag copy.
My body is ready!
Don't forget to switch to Vivid mode if you are playing on an OLED.
🤮
I never play these type of games this really caught my attention
Can anyone tell me what all the easy difficulty mode does? I can’t seem to find any definite answers. Not a survival horror fan, but this games aesthetics are amazing. If I could breeze through it and enjoy the atmosphere and story, I’m all in. Otherwise I’ll have to pass on it.
Where'd you get the thumbnail art?
Really good game. It checks all the boxes for a survival horror game. It has a really spooky vibe.
Indie Silent Hill with a dash of David Lynch!
I feel like I want to like this game more than I'd actually like this game. Not disrespect to the developer seems like a solid game but I'm not sure it's my cup of tea.
Switch up does it right 😊
This looks amazing!
Just a note, I think Gestalt is the term for humans in this universe. The replicas are all the cybernetic beings.
Gestalt and Replica???... I think I get the reference.
Not realy gestalt is german and it was made in germany by 2 people + musik and publisher
Game looks really good, will pick it up on steam.
I’m considering this one tho🤔
Looks interesting
Beat it and though I thought this was a good game it definitely had a few issues that irked me like the aiming in the game seemed to just randomly switch between enemies at times or it wouldn’t focus on an enemy when I was aiming at it. Idk me personally It didn’t feel quirky it felt like it was being buggy. But maybe I’m wrong. I definitely enjoyed the anime inspired artwork and I enjoyed meeting the characters jn the game. I did think the radio was a cool feature too, though I forgot about it at times.
Very good review. I absolutely love this game
Two of my favorite series.
Damn you comment section! You just sold me on this game... FINE NINTENDO!.. take my money... AGAIN. Sorry stomach, it's another week of Top Ramen for you!
Reminds me of the blame manga and anime
Metal gear meets resident evil? Yes please!
seems like a nice mix of vibes..
It's on xbox game pass
Added to my wishlist buy it next time I’m ready to spend $20
The Gestalt, Replica thing has totally got to be a reference to Nier.
Great review!
Looks quite promising. Although I have one little issue with te review: 'fiddly aiming comes with the chosen gameplay style'. I understand the retro/nostalgia perspective, but imo it can't be that half-broken mechanics are put into a game because of it kind of belongs to the type of gameplay. It evolves for a good reason, as I like to play games with give me an oldschool feeling, but I don't want the oldschool finnicky frustration from back then. If I want to play a good but kind of old school mario, I go for at least sunshine or even galaxy, because for me it has the old charm, but the mechanics are much more refined. They don't put clunky things in there because super mario 64 has them. You can make nostalgia games and put the mechanics and therefore the experience for the player on top priority, for me Halo Infite is a good example, feels like 1 right from the start, but isn't afraid to put some new flashy stuff in there. Anyways...this still looks like an interesting game for me on sale
I love it myself
gestalt aren't androids. replika have administrative roles as well as manual labour
Awesome review and game!!
Just when I thought it might not be coming, you little buggers!
Hehe we got there in the end! Mark
Great Stuff, as always!
When Deutschland make japanese game look more like japanese game than japanese them self make it this day... this is amazing... 6 inventory slots/10
How about a physical copy of Silent Hill for the Nintendo Switch, ANYBODY ??
Hmm probably pick it up on a sale
Its amazing! Lol
Buying it.
Things that go Bump in the eShop…
Gestalt and Replica, eh?
Like NieR Gestalt, and NieR Replicant? Nice reference.
Yes and no. They a german words and it was made in germany.
Looks great!
i would play this if i had a switch its not really fun or worthwhile playing on a big 4k monitor you almost feel bad for using up the electricity for this game on my series x
Cyberpunk... OH YEAH 🤩
... survival horror... OH GOD NO! 😱
I hate horror. Such a wimp haha. I can brave this review though ;)
I'm the same, I really like the look of this game but I already know I wouldn't be able to hack it. :(
I believe in you... but then you'll probably have nightmares.
💉 NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE 🪓
Same 😅😅
Insert Jumpscare Here
This looks rad
Gestalt and Replica. I think i have heard these before, Hmm.
This seems more like a mix of metal gear solid and resident evil
I played this on Gamepass and I’d gladly pay for it on Switch too.
Fantastic game. Only criticism is the hard 6 item carry limit.
No need for that in 2022.
The latter half of the game has some serious backtracking that could be alleviated by allowing you to carry more items.
Looks pretty good 😎🤙👍👍
This looks like a lost Kojima ps1 horror game. I’m getting the physical on switch and ps4.
This game slaps
I feel like you giving key hints on how to use weapons is a spoiler
A bit, yes.
Signalis hits all my weak spots. Might double dip.
German resident evil game
It’s free on Xbox
I do love Game Pass!
Can you use a pro controller? If not I'm assuming this would be easier on PC.
You can use a pro controller with this just like any other Switch game.
Gestalt & replica? Sounds like a nier game to me
