was really looking for to this game but the technical things you mentioned kinda worry me. I still might pick up the game but hoping they can fix the problems you mention with a patch! Thanks for your review!
I was really looking forward for this game too. But the technical issues just make me sad. I'm from Brazil. Nintendo isn't here anymore and anything for the switch is imported and costs really high. Even so I was willing to buy this game over others because it seems a really well done game. Think I will wait for a patch now.
Dude. Just wanted to tell you, kudos on this channel. As a new Switch owner (Since October), you are my go to channel to catch Reviews on all things Nintendo Switch. You really do a fantastic job of explaining everything, very professional, very informative. Just great stuff all around. I really look forward to each new video. I’ve also caught some non Switch related stuff, and enjoyed that too. Keep up the great work man, it’s much appreciated.
Such a shame, it runs beautifully on the xbox and ps4. Guess this is what happens when, once again, Nintendo thinks providing sub-par hardware is good.
Yeah, I guess on PC it runs about the same as on Switch, even if you have a great gaming pc. There is clearly something wrong and it needs to be fixed.
I think the digital version of games on the switch does that. I bought NBA2K18 on the switch digital and it had some hiccups and frame drops. But when I bought the physical copy I didn’t noticed no problems.
I had plans on getting it for the Switch, which I still may do, but I heard about the difficulty with the performance issues. Now that it's cheaper on PS4, I may just get it there. I'll sort my options. Great vid!
People bashed the framerate of zelda breath of the wild on the Wii U. But in no way was the framerate as bad as rime on the switch,the game is simply just not good enough for release.Switch owners deserve far better than this,third party developers try harder if you want us to support you.
Thanks for the review - was waiting for this version instead of buying the others. Hopefully a patch will fix this. Unfortunately for the devs, Zelda BOTW (for this type of game) and DOOM (for many others) will set the standard for how a Switch game needs to perform... :)
Maybe Nintendo can reach out to the developers and offer some help on improving performance? I think they have developer relations that could probably help with this.
Please make your review for Ittle Dew 2 and Axiom Verge. I'm looking for a physical release and I would like to know if is there any technical issues before buy them.
I respect your honest opinion. To often I feel like you tuber's say a game is flawless, only to take their word buy the game and find out the game is riddled with issues.
This was a game that I preordered when I preordered the Switch. I was really looking forward to it. It is beautiful but I couldnt agree more, the dropped frames, glitches and blur really started to bother me. If that was smoothed out, this game would have been amazing.
One thing I've noticed about this game that bothers me on all versions is that the foliage isn't on the right alpha layer it needs to be, so it sort of pops out at you in front of the post processing effects. I think it would look a lot better if they put it on the same alpha setting/lighting (not sure how it works in UE) as the level geometry. It actually seems like either a rookie mistake or a design choice, but I think it would look better the other way.
Really enjoying your channel man it's becoming my one stop shop for honest thoughts on nintendo games, keep up the good work . I just hit that subscribe 😀🎮
Brilliant first look RGT 85. Rime is a game I have been waiting for I like my slower paced exploration n puzzle type games but the performance is lacking on it so I am not sure if I'll get it day one n hopefully a patch will drop or pick it up later on when it's cheaper I won't get it on any other systems tho.
No, RiME did not copy BOTW. They were released only two months apart. The development takes place over a significantly longer period. RiME wasn’t made to be an action packed adventure like BOTW. It exists only for the sake of the Story. A story that will have you more emotionally invested than any other game.
How long has it been out? Maybe they could patch it. I want to check it out especially after your comparisons to BOTW. I remember you said that this game was really good a few videos back.
I been waiting for this review. I been waiting for this game. Switch is my only platform, and I been buying games that my nieces enjoy, so I'm hoping this similar to BotW for me. I think, I can deal with the technical problems you mentioned, I don't have much other comparisons to go with. Thanks for the review on this one.
Man really hoping they put out a fix and please update us if they do. Was gonna pick up this game but with the tech problems i think I'll wait 'til it's fixed or get it for a diff system.
Yeah get used to that ...720p 30 frame versions of titles that play flawlessly on real game systems and PC. It's kind of like watching people play modern titles on really old PC hardware... turn everything to low and adjust draw distance to nothing all so you can barely play it.
This is quite a disappointment as I've been waiting for this for a while, but really appreciate your candour, so looks like I'll be waiting on that patch (that hopefully comes to fruition). Keep up the reviews, as because of them I'm going to pick up "perception" on the Switch, looks like a good call and unique way of playing a horror game.
David Drayton very rarely do I see this price for Switch games unless using gamers club with a current sale... or “what not.” Even the broken Troll & I game is still like 30 some bucks.
7 what nots out of 10
Maybe in time rime will shine
If in time rime does shine, then I will be fine in making it mine.

+Trent Welch thanks for watching

This game looks dope, and what not.
+jdavid15 love the style. Just the frame rate and tech issues are bad.
RGT 85 hopefully they patch it
jdavid15 They should as it's not good enough for release as switch owners deserve better.
its all part of his charm lol
Jesus, I can't unhear it now, and what not.
Such a shame, it runs beautifully on the xbox and ps4. Guess this is what happens when, once again, Nintendo thinks providing sub-par hardware is good.
This guy says "whatnot" SO much. A word I never use.
"and what-not". Someone found a new favorite phrase
This is such a shame, I've been waiting for this game for months :(
They patched it. It’s worth buying now.
Preordered month ago, i will keep my preorder but i will pray mario and all his saint for a patch.
The colors and general design make me think of the old King's Quest games. Anyone else feeling a bit of old-school Sierra vibe with this?
Dude, you say "what not" WAAAAY to much! I just got my switch and love your reviews... or what not ;)
+Parker Time well that's cool and what not. Hope you enjoy it and what not.
Parker Time just subbed to mr what not ... is this the norm for him? If so will be unsubbing. Good review otherwise or what not lol
I was gonna say that and what not..
Chill dude
Nut what?
If DOOM 2016 can run competently on the Switch, there's NO EXCUSE for this. Lmao
David Dowler Doom was neutered. It's at 600p most of the time. This is all hardware.
David Dowler your comparing an indie studio to rework a game as oposed to bethesda funding Doom for switch. Do some reaserch when comparing games.
If you see other reviews it apparently doesn't run well on any platform.
Yeah, I guess on PC it runs about the same as on Switch, even if you have a great gaming pc. There is clearly something wrong and it needs to be fixed.
Joe Abraham Dude, the game doesn't even run well on other consoles. You can't even get a solid 60fps with a GTX 1080
Just got a switch today,very happy,thanks for all your reviews I've been watching....
I think the digital version of games on the switch does that. I bought NBA2K18 on the switch digital and it had some hiccups and frame drops. But when I bought the physical copy I didn’t noticed no problems.
I had plans on getting it for the Switch, which I still may do, but I heard about the difficulty with the performance issues. Now that it's cheaper on PS4, I may just get it there. I'll sort my options. Great vid!
Take a shot every time Shawn Long says "whatnot"

Paul Barnes Rime is an inde title, they don’t have that kind of budget
Zachary Strickler Well they shouldn't of released it at all if they can't get rime running properly on switch.
Thanks for the review - was waiting for this version instead of buying the others. Hopefully a patch will fix this. Unfortunately for the devs, Zelda BOTW (for this type of game) and DOOM (for many others) will set the standard for how a Switch game needs to perform... :)
Forget this game, just get Ittle Dew 2+ for Switch instead, it's a much better Zelda inspired game and it's a physical release too.
Maybe Nintendo can reach out to the developers and offer some help on improving performance? I think they have developer relations that could probably help with this.
I kind of want Shawn to do an audio book using that voice at 1:29
Take a shot every time RGT says "what not".
Lindsey Sterling made an exclusive track for Rime. Its in the game too!
Any chance of an update review on this, had some patches?
The what nots made me laugh so much that I couldn't focus on the video. 😂😂
Say and what not one more time...... see what happens
They recently released a patch that supposedly fixes many performance and visual problems. Would be curious to see your take on the patch.
Please make your review for Ittle Dew 2 and Axiom Verge.
I'm looking for a physical release and I would like to know if is there any technical issues before buy them.
How to get drunk in one RUclips video: drink every time he says "whatnot" :P Just playin' with ya RGT. Good vid.
I respect your honest opinion. To often I feel like you tuber's say a game is flawless, only to take their word buy the game and find out the game is riddled with issues.
they had postponed it by a week so im wondering if the issues are why...like could they patch it within a week?
Take a drink every time he says what not.
This was a game that I preordered when I preordered the Switch. I was really looking forward to it. It is beautiful but I couldnt agree more, the dropped frames, glitches and blur really started to bother me. If that was smoothed out, this game would have been amazing.
Will the DEVs fix the Frame drops and pixelated resolution ?
I found this game at game stop on Jan 2 for $15.00 hopefully there is a patch for the frame rate issues ?
looks more like to ICO not zelda.
it plays like ICO, but graphically looks more like Zelda the wind waker.
One thing I've noticed about this game that bothers me on all versions is that the foliage isn't on the right alpha layer it needs to be, so it sort of pops out at you in front of the post processing effects. I think it would look a lot better if they put it on the same alpha setting/lighting (not sure how it works in UE) as the level geometry. It actually seems like either a rookie mistake or a design choice, but I think it would look better the other way.
Well done, extremely honest review. I love that the devs made the game that they really wanted to make. They really need to get on that patch though.
Is it fixed with the day 1 patch? Is it playable?
Great review or what not.
Keep up the good work or what not.
+William Pennington thanks for the comment and whatnot
There is supposedly a patch, any change in the gameplay?
How is RiME running after the day 1 patches?
Great review and "What not"
To summarize this review in one word.. "whatnot".
I got a early review of the game too.... I found a pre own Rime for the PS4. Lol
Really enjoying your channel man it's becoming my one stop shop for honest thoughts on nintendo games, keep up the good work . I just hit that subscribe 😀🎮

Did they ever release a patch for this game to fix these issues?
Great and honest review ... "and what not"
And what not.....
i just got my switch today so im going through all of your switch videos, thank you. love the shirt one of my favorite fucking bands
I can't even pay attention to the video anymore, Im just listening for him to say "what not"
I always wanted to buy this game for switch but now i'm worried about the frame rate. Is it still worth it?
If Doom runs goon Rime should no excuse!
You had me all the way untill no combat in this game
I was mildy interested... no combat killed it.
No, RiME did not copy BOTW. They were released only two months apart. The development takes place over a significantly longer period. RiME wasn’t made to be an action packed adventure like BOTW. It exists only for the sake of the Story. A story that will have you more emotionally invested than any other game.
It's a shame the performance is still bad because it is absolutely amazing and worth playing
Is the fox Navi? ....I swear to god, I'll jam him in a bottle and drink him when I die if he says "LISTEN!" even once.
How long has it been out? Maybe they could patch it. I want to check it out especially after your comparisons to BOTW. I remember you said that this game was really good a few videos back.
on ps4 this game is gorgeous with smooth frame rate.
Thats a damn shame
Is it worth it?
I been waiting for this review. I been waiting for this game. Switch is my only platform, and I been buying games that my nieces enjoy, so I'm hoping this similar to BotW for me. I think, I can deal with the technical problems you mentioned, I don't have much other comparisons to go with. Thanks for the review on this one.
+Andrew Pannelli no problem!
Looks fun , love your vids man
Man really hoping they put out a fix and please update us if they do. Was gonna pick up this game but with the tech problems i think I'll wait 'til it's fixed or get it for a diff system.
I was looking to get this game but I'm not one to support bad ports.
Yeah get used to that ...720p 30 frame versions of titles that play flawlessly on real game systems and PC. It's kind of like watching people play modern titles on really old PC hardware... turn everything to low and adjust draw distance to nothing all so you can barely play it.
agooshaw gr8 b8 m8 I r8 5/7
This game feels more like Xenoblade + Zelda without the combat system or the RPG elements... Just chill
Wild Style! Sorry, once I heard that, that’s all I heard.
drinking game .. drink everytime he said " and what not"
I loved this game - on PS4.
"Wanna be zelda, original hit, switch fail"
the answer is all 3 👍
Do you play games on PC ?
AND WHAT NOT
They too forever to put this game on the switch, and this is the piece of a mess we get? Smh definitely not buying this
Try playing Troll And I it dont work at all on swich!
Bought it from target took it back the same day
This is why you should check with me first. Lol
Hey! You say there's no combat but right before you say that, I see a scene where the boy is about to fight a bird thing. What's that?!😕
Looks like a great game... But...!! Thanks for this review, and for pointing out the problems that it has :-) Another great video......
Great video and what not bro!
So play it on ps4? :-)
What does the fox say?
The game that makes you care what the fox says.
"And whatnot". :)
+CuCuz lol quiet you
Your review was awesome though. ;)
Rime looks a lot like the Ico / Shadows / Last Guardian games - played it at PAX EAST last year, didn't really enjoy it too much...
I love the Switch but for Third Party I go PS4 Pro.
Stop writing what not in the comments!! I have it stuck on my head now.
SM742 what not
Second haha, I really like your channel and your perspective on games!! keep it up!
+Ian Bravo Gaming thanks Ian.
This is quite a disappointment as I've been waiting for this for a while, but really appreciate your candour, so looks like I'll be waiting on that patch (that hopefully comes to fruition). Keep up the reviews, as because of them I'm going to pick up "perception" on the Switch, looks like a good call and unique way of playing a horror game.
You’ve been doing WAYYY too much modern gaming content recently. Should do more retro stuff
Superb review
Thats a shame. I was considering foregoing the ps4 version for the Switch. Oh well, I'll save some money and wait for a psn sale.
What not, and what not. What not. 😊
Bahman Afsardir dude has become More internet joke
getting it as SOON as it drops to 19.99
David Drayton very rarely do I see this price for Switch games unless using gamers club with a current sale... or “what not.” Even the broken Troll & I game is still like 30 some bucks.
I'm prepared to wait... years if I have to.
Too much "what not" in this one, other than that i really like your reviews :D
And they were gonna charge more.
I guess I'll buy it on ps4 I've wanted to play it awhile I'm scared to get it on switch after watching your review
Its not a wannabe Zelda its a wannabe Journey
So is it good and what not?
+James Carter lol hush
Good question.
