Terrible resolution for both consoles. Does somebody know the X1 res? 720p?

loading is better on Switch?? Like what?


Good port. Still won't buy it

I dislike the depth of field, so i'm getting this game for the Switch.

Game looks surprisingly playable but wouldn't pay full price for it, I'll play the waiting game. Simple platform game which I would of expected to be 60fps on standard ps4 and xbox one so I guess there must be some sort of extra processing going on for the physics engine.

These sort of titles are going to be great for Switch. Minimal differences with the bonus of portability. However I don't know how important a title this will be with regard sales figures. It looks at home on Nintendo Switch though.

If I had a Switch I'd likely get it for that for allowing on the move gameplay, but for the time being it's a buy on PC for me.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I played the game for a few hours last night and so far it's definitely worth the $20. The only negative is that I found it to be a little blurry. The controls are great once you get used to them though I would like if they added camera sensitivity.

Nice to hear, I want to get it but I think I'll wait until I get my Switch, I could get it on PC but this just looks perfect for Switch.

So we've got proof that this developer didn't just give lip service, unlike those talentless hacks who ported Darksiders 2 to Wii U.

Does that game run well on any console though?

A game like Uncharted 4 can run at 1080p and mosyly solid 30 fps and this cant even run at 900p? Lol

Probably cuz the game has in-depth physic engine. Did you see that snake moving ?

So your telling me that Uncharted, Horizon, Doom, even Witcher can run at higher resolutions, some even better framerate.....with advanced graphics, physics and everything. Hell Uncharted has some of the best animations as well. 

But Snake Pass cant even run at 900p with barely anything going on besides the snake moving? Come on now

Have you stopped and think for a bit thought? Uncharted 4 had hundreds of developers behind, a huge budget and it was made to sell like 8m or more, Snake Pass is a multiplatform made by few people, with a modest budget and is not expecting to sell 10m, games don't magically run well just because they are in a better hardware, it takes time and money to optimize and the game just doesn't need more optimization or more advanced graphics to reach its potential, so there is not need to waste more resources on it when already looks and plays nice.
