Bro ham, don't blame your wallet for dissing the game, it's 100% Worth on PS4, i'll give you not buying on PC, because it's much more comfortable on Controller, but the game is just to good man, plus, for an old game, great replay value, comfortable controls, and a well dated game redone for all console's and below, and the PS4 ver i have, does perform slightly smoother/better but that's to be expected on a stronger machine.

Havent played Re-Reckoning on Switch, but on PS 4 and the original on PS3. It is not like Dragons Dogma. Dragons Dogma is one of the best RPGs ever made in history and Kingdom of Amalur is sometimes underrated but sometimes also boring. You can have fun fpr maybe 20-25 Bucks but DD is on another level. Keep this in mind. I still would go for Skyrim which is more expensive.

Pretty much up to par with the other console versions, and it's just so good not being bound to the TV when you're up to spending 100 hours in a game like this. It's so nice to play prolonged by the TV, but then do some side quests on the go :)

Been waiting for a review since I was concerned with how it performs on the switch. Great review as always! Thank you for this!

This doesn't just have a good combat system, it has one of the best combat systems ever implemented in a game. I always liked Fable's combat system the most, it just feels so visceral and intuitive, and this takes that and just amps it up to such an extreme. It's fluid and challenging, on the hard difficulty I would have to fight bosses over and over trying to figure out how to beat them, and I love actually being tested like that. That said, the game does have its shortcomings, but it's worth playing just for the feel of the combat alone. And the world design is pretty nice to boot.

This is what Fable should’ve evolved into

I absolutely adored this game. I am so excited that I now get to play it on my switch.

Got to resist spending money for now but I put it on my wishlist for once I clear out my back log a bit. Great review

I played the demo of this game years ago on the PS3. The combat was fun & now, I have a chance to finally get the game.

I bought it on Coolshop the other day with free shipping. It was not so easy to find out where they were located. This was on their norrwegian domain, but it turns out to be a danish company. They sent the game the same day, but remember that sending to the UK may take a little longer 👍🏻

NOW THIS IS UP MY ALLEY 👍 Thx for review im definitely gonna check this out

I'll definitely buy it for the switch, not only for the handheld mode but for the QoL improvements about the enemy level up-scaling and the new pool for the loot. Btw Great video, as always.

Hi there, thanks so much for this great review - from the back of which I bought a physical copy of the game and I have to say I am having a great time with it - the combat is so much fun and it looks great too. One of my best experiences on the SWITCH to date. Go pick it up and keep up the great work SWITCHUp!

Thanks for the review, it goes straight to the wishlist !

I've heard a lot of "not much of a remaster, just a minor touch-up" regarding this game, but I've never even played the original release! For me, it's functionally a new game, and one that's been on my radar for a while.

Great review, hope I'll get my copy by tomorrow.

I ever wanted to play Amalur... I didn't buy it back in the days on PS3 and when it was rereleased I was waiting, hoping for a switch version.

One of my all time favorites on the 360. Can't wait to dive back in on the switch tomorrow!

Watching this video I am jealous watching and getting the itch to wanna play on portable mode. Still waiting for my physical copy!!

Love this game and the fact a KOTOR 2 reference was thrown in to boot. Happy with the review.

I remember really enjoying the original and played right thru completing pretty much all the side missions. I could be convinced to replay it and maybe try a different class, I reckon I’ll wait for a sale because the price is a little too high for me. I’d price it around £19-£20ish.

Played it back in the day. Did not get to finish it, but was up there in terms of visual styling, fluidness of combat, and actually feeling like a badass with magic (Haven't gotten as much of that feeling since Oblivion)

Really looking forward to revisit this one.

God I’m so tempted by this! Had it on Xbox but moved mainly to Switch n really want to finish this.... tempting...

i love your game reviews, you are unbiased unlike others

I love this game, spent so much time on the original and really happy to see it get a bit of an update. Excited that it sounds to run smooth enough on the switch because this portable will be great. Definitely need to get this game for the switch. I assume yes, but hopefully the promised dlc comes to the switch as well. Supposed to be free on PC last time I looked, but you need re-reckoning of course, not the original release.

I also read somewhere that there's an expansion/DLC coming down the road for this remarkably! 😯

Already pre-ordered, cant wait to revisit. I was one of those who loved the game when it came out.

Just got this. Enjoying it so far.

I'll be definitely buying this, I had it Playstation 3, then got it on Games with gold. I completed the original story, but didn't finish the DLC, did you also get the N7 armour also? I knew that there was some kind of cross game preorder bonus, i got a weapon I think in Mass Effect 3. Although I can't remember.

one of my favorite games of all time. but i agree, the price is a bit steep for essentially a 10 year old game, probably will wait for a sale in the future for this one.

Already got the physical delivered. Can't wait till tonight. First time jumping in

Im going to pick this one up. Its $20 here in the PH for the physical copy brand new.

So I purchased this game on a whim, appreciate the review. Fingers crossed I picked a good one

Thank you for mentioning Dragon's Dogma - haven't played this neither. Now, I want both 😁

did you have encounter the dreadful bug a lot of people are talking about? on the house of ballad (talking with anyone of the npc make the switch crash completely every time closing the game), and did you have encounter any others bugs on the quests?

never played this before but it looks awesome. I tried dragons dogma on switch for the first time a few months back and fell in love with it. il wait for sale but really happy this has a physical release

My physical copy arrives tomorrow. Played it on my XBOX Series S during one of them free trial weekend and decided this was perfect for my Switch Lite!

Been years (2013?!) since I played this, I loved it. So I got the fatesworn edition a week ago on ps4. But if it indeed play at 30 fps, a few hickups here and there wont bother me if it can run this in handheld! Will wait for a discount though. You didnt mention it, but isnt there a fatesworn switch edition that already will get the new dlc as well?

Hmmm do you still get the Shepard armor in this version? Set looked sick. Also loved seeing mass effect styled knight armour.

Can you use your gamesaves from other platform? Also, when is the other DLC gonna release? I only gonna buy it if i can transfer my saves from PC. Already finished it twice on PC, only want the switch version for the exploring and Fatesworn DLC

When I first played Breath of the Wild this was the game that came to my mind. [Mainly for the weapon system] I hope people appreciate this game the 2nd time around. A classic, for sure!
