Figment: Nintendo Switch Game Review (also on Apple store)

[@AmeagLuz]

To be honest.. I dont mind easier games.. Sometimes I just want to relax while completing some light puzzles. So I feel this is right into my alley^^.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

I totally agree. I'm finding that there is a swell of punishing platformers and rage-inducing technical games on the Switch, so a nice mellow is really great once in a while. Haha! :3

[@jellyfishstars3536]

I love this game! Especially the bosses that literally sing at you as you fight.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Right!? It's so good! It reminded me of a mix between The nightmare before christmas and James and the Giant peach. Especially the spider boss! 0_0

[@tylertheleper8468]

I'm so glad I've found this channel. You bring so many hidden indie gems to attention.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Im glad you found it too! :D I know I play my share of stinkers, but I'm always so happy when I can share a gem like this one.

[@tylertheleper8468]

@@BudgetGamerChannel by chance have you played a game called Distrust on Switch. It looks very interesting, but I'm hesitant. I've watched other reviews but I'd rather hear it from you man.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

I haven't. Well, I should say that I haven't, yet~ I'm sure it will make it's way to the channel, but the god of game sales will have to determine when. Haha!

[@DanThePropMan]

I played this when it came out, and I agree with everything you said here. Sure, it's not particularly difficult, but its audio was fantastic and its art style is whimsical, colorful, and absolutely gorgeous, and that was more than enough to keep me going to the end.

[@cory7328]

we need to see someone to develop Where The Wild Things Are in this aesthetic and release it on the Switch.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Yes, yes we do!

[@gokuchamoy]

Love your reviews man, you elevate the art of video games critique and I love that you review and champion overlooked and underexposed indie games.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Thanks so much Goku! I know our channel is pretty "indie" itself, but I'm really happy with how we are growing. I'm hoping my style of review will catch on and we can really start doing some good for the Indie Gaming community. :D

[@omgvics]

The visuals alone are pretty stunning ! Thanks for the deep dive

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Of course! I was happy to do it. I have a real soft spot for Storybook visuals, so this one was more than a pleasure to play. Just happy I got to share it with all of you. :3

[@AlexBSPLUS]

Hi! Greetings from Brazil! Love the channel. Discovered a year ago or so and really enjoy it. But it seems like you stopped posting regularly a month ago. Hope you return soon!

[@spocky4154]

It’s been a while since you reviewed a game I already played. This one, I loved it.😍 I even gave my opinion on the discord back then. It's exactly the kind of game I like, a puzzle-action-adventure with not too much action 😉. I liked the graphics full of details and I absolutely loved the soundtrack, I still sometimes listen to it. I also liked the story and the puzzles. My only regret is that it was too short, as I wanted to play it more. 😃

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Yes, it certainly felt too short. Games of this quality always do. There just aren't that many of them out there.

[@SonataFanatica]

Awesome!! Thank you so much for this video. I'll be in hospital for most of February and this one looks right up my alley. I'll be happy to dive deep into this game's atmosphere and theme. Especially when I won't be allowed any visitors due to Covid. And with the game being on sale in the European eShop (for €3.79), it's an absolute no-brainer. :) Once again, the Budget Gamer shows what's good!

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Oh no! I'm really sorry to hear about your hospital stay. I hope you're on the up-swing, as it were. No visitors is no good either... :( If you get into it, Figment is pretty big for an indie game (8-10 hours), so I hope it can keep you a little company during your stay. :D

[@SonataFanatica]

@@BudgetGamerChannel Thank you so much! :) :)

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Of course! Only wish I could do more for you. So, here is a private link to tomorrow's review. :D It won't go live till tomorrow at noon, but I just finished uploading it. Journey of the Broken Circle: BGC Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH6Qo3qEbNifmrs

[@SonataFanatica]

@@BudgetGamerChannel That's so awesome!! :D Thank you! Oh, but you've already done a lot! Thanks to your work, I've bought so many Switch games that were on sale - specifically for my hospital stay. :) I'll just look on the bright side and enjoy the fact that I've actually got the time to play them all. :)

[@SonataFanatica]

Journey of the Broken Circle seems to be another one that's right up my alley! Awesome! I'll get that one as well. :)

[@casper3237]

I have been seeing this in the E-shop, but skipping over it ... Now I think I'm going to have to buy it. Thanks, this is one I definitely would have missed.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Happy to help, my dude! You'll have to let me know what you think after you get into it. :D

[@jameshitt3263]

Ah, I thought I recognized that art style: its the same developer as the game Back to Bed. This game looks just delightful!

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Oh! That one has been on my list for a Loooooooong time. I really need to play it at some point.

[@artursmenezes]

Amazing game! Great tip and review! Just got it for 2.79. Take care...

[@inbarajananbu8649]

Now I'm going to buy for $1.99 😎

[@Faustustopheles]

This one we really like but haven't gotten too much into it yet. I love the art.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

It's hard not to like it. It's been compared to a "Where the Wild Things Are" kind of aesthetic, and I have to agree. Real soft spot for storybook visuals. Haha

[@paulhodgson1043]

So….I’ve just found your channel, new sub from me 👍🏼 plus this game is on sale right now for £2.51. Instant buy. Thanks for sharing

[@zebbie09]

I bought this a while back. It’s cool looking but I got really frustrated early on with the first boss and quit. I am not a very good gamer if this is considered unchallenging.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Well, due to the lack of emphasis put into developing the combat system of the game, the combat is actually one of the more challenging aspects. The puzzling is a bit light, if not time consuming, and other than the combat (that spider totally wooped my rear a few times), the pace is more or less on the slow side. I guess the combat is challenging for story gamers, but the story is heavy for action gamers. Lol! Looks like im right in between. XD

[@feeamerie5011]

Picked this up for £3.59 on the sale. Glad I have!

[@cdchai]

Good review. Not something I'd be interested in however I did start on Filament this week. It definitely gives your brain a work out. I think I'm nearly done with the 2nd floor and can see there's a 3rd bu then there's the collectibles and the logs... MHRise demo breaks up Filament sessions nicely. :)

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Oh man! You've made it pretty far then. I dont even know many reviewers who have completed it. 🤣 Good work.

[@granth1974]

Great review as always.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Why thank you~ :3

[@Th33anomaly]

This is on Apple Arcade too I believe.... I think I have that for a year bc I got some phone plan that included it.... I wonder how it plays on mobile. I very rarely play anything on my phone haha.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Oh! Hey, that's good to know. I'll update the video data, just in case someone wants to check it out on the Apple store.

[@Th33anomaly]

@@BudgetGamerChannel Great, glad to help. I just dowloaded it, and I plan to check it out as soon as I can.

It was a really great time. It was like playing through a musical Disney movie. Haha! :D

[@jeffcross9960]

it's sad that this game did not get as much recognition as it should have...

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Im a little disappointed too, as this really was the 1st time I had ever heard of it. I'm hoping this deep sale will help boost its visibility a little. I mean for $19.99... yeah... but for $2.49!? Totally!! XD

[@indieeric6530]

Love the review. I’ve had this on my wishlist for a while now and I still haven’t pulled the trigger on it. But, the backlog has become so large that I could probably never buy another game and still not replay anything. On my main switch, I have 850+ games. Not to mention Steam and Xbox and PlayStation and (in the near future hopefully) Intellivision Amiico. Hope all is well with you my friend. *Also I’m playing Kentucky Year Zero and Manifold Garden right now. Both are very cool games. Manifold Garden has been quite the brain buster for me. I have to play it in short sessions. Clearly you are the superior puzzle gamer. Lol

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

850!? Holy! That's like my digital library and physical games collection combined... With Doubles! but Manifold Garden is one I still have to get. I've seen it, but it's one that I haven't pulled the trigger on myself. Haha

I'm glad I didn't pick this one up. I really liked the look of it but was worried about it being aimed more towards younger players like you mentioned. Also awesome recommendation on Jotun. Loved that game. Thanks for the review man.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Of course buddy! Happy to help. I think this would be a great game for parents to play with their kids. 😁

[@Simoss13]

I tried a demo on steam about 18months ago and found this game wasnt for me. I wanted to view this to get insight on what I potentially misunderstood and was refreshing to see your review. The game still isnt for me but glad to see an objective perspective
