Planet Of Lana Is A STUNNING ADVENTURE On Nintendo Switch | Review!

[@SwitchUpYt]

A really beautiful looking game - do you enjoy this type of game? Cmon now it has an alien cat in it, what is not to like! Mark

[@slimtim1782]

I like these narrative puzzle platformsrs. I was a bit disappointed w/ Somerville though. That one was a bit too buggy for me on the PS unfortunately. It broke the immersion. This looks like a smoother experience.

[@frankc9086]

Do you know if there will be a physical release

[@wellofcire]

-Didn't they screw up the shadows on this version???.....

[@jesssealey6552]

Commenting for channel, video, studio and game visibilty, everyone deserves support in this difficult time in the games industry. Cheers SwitchUp!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Legend! Mark

[@premiumfruits3528]

It's difficult times for people trying to inject politics into every aspect of their game. Indie devs and small studios that just focus on making a good game are thriving.

[@crudolol]

Agree

[@smoss9813]

So it's Limbo in colour! Sweet!

[@FacelessFolk]

Any game that takes me to a different planet is my cup of tea, the genre does not even matter. Love the whimsical look of this too, will look forward to trying this when i can! Thanks for the review!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thanks mate, you're welcome! Mark

[@glue7225]

After a long anxiety inducing day it’s always nice to come home and sit down and see you have a new video. It always eases my mind. You guys are the best.

[@SwitchUpYt]

❤

[@melaniapina6368]

Wow, it looks and sounds amazing! And that little cat ball thing…I just want it! Thanks for the review, very interesting game!

[@SwitchUpYt]

hehe my daughter would agree! Mark

[@LJY985]

I can confirm it is amazing

[@reginaldfromghana616]

One of the most beautiful games I've ever seen , reminds me of inside

[@MrJimithee]

You had me at "Cat Companion"... I've got a real life one that follows me everywhere (though she rarely does what I tell her!) What a gorgeous looking game, leapt straight up my wishlist! Just as I was making a dent in the backlog...sigh...

[@SwitchUpYt]

Exactly right haha love me a cat! Mark

[@ruthurban1959]

I’ll definitely add this to my watch list. I’d buy it right away, but my backlog is so huge I’ve sworn that in future I have to finish 2 games, before I can buy another one.

[@Anni_ka]

The first time I saw a trailer for this game, I've prayed to the gaming gods that this would come to Switch. I'm so glad it finally did, and that it's quite decent! Thank you for the review!

[@deadlifter_20]

Pray to the God of Abraham, the God of Issac and of Jacob.

[@juntobeats22]

Finished it in one go on Xbox.. Captivating and magical ❤️

[@TheRealAero]

Really digging the art style and that music is very relaxing. This could be a very nice little pick up and play experience

[@jspp80]

I'm so unbelievably bad at platformers I typically skip them--but this looks like a nice vibe.

[@SwitchUpYt]

This one uis pretty forgiving

[@el_puma_real]

Reminds me of a modern inspired version of ‘Out of this World’ (Another World) from back in 1991. Looks great.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Man that game was tough back in the day ha! Mark

[@armand4116]

This .

[@AlistairHig]

I thought exactly of Another World.

[@Honest_Grifter]

I really dig this animation/art style... and the 2.5D design really adds to the cinematic feel, and it kinda reminds me of something like flashback.

[@DEvilParsnip]

A man of a similar vintage, I would have said Another World :)

[@ppbunt]

This one instantly piqued my interest on Glen’s preview vid, it looks beautiful! Doing quite well on metacritic too 😊

[@yis8fire]

Saw the trailer, this game sounds amazing, waited 2 years for it.

[@bbgothviolator8953]

This looks f***ing gorgeous and right up my alley, will be getting this week most def. I hope it gets a physical release at some point. Thanks for bringing to my attention as well as to the development team. Amazing stuff

[@Bajso84]

That foliage rustling in the summer breeze, against an alien invasion backdrop. From the perspective of an innocent little village girl. Magical.

[@rmsamonte]

This game first reminded me of Flashback. Probably has more to do with the color palette.

[@damienkrawczuk1435]

Soon as you mentioned reference to The Last Guardian it's flat out become an instant buy, The Last Guardian and Shadow of the Colossus will forever more be cemented in my soul as the greatest games ever conceived, you've stoked a fire no other game could ever rekindle, I thankyou immensely for this review, this is definitely a game for me 🤩 what a joyous day today has become

[@NewDawnFadesX]

Reminds me of ‘Limbo’ & ‘A Boy and His Blob’.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah for sure it is basically a combo of those two. Mark

[@nietzscheente1271]

This game looks and sounds amazing. The graphics has some 'ICO'-vibes to me. I also love the smooth animations. Gonna get it.

[@juniperwool]

Thank you for all the reviews you do. You're one of the best review channels, and I appreciate your thorough analyses of all of the games...especially indie games!

[@SwitchUpYt]

You're welcome

[@Ser-Smiley]

Its a sign of a great game if you are fully immersed when playing it. 😋

[@SwitchUpYt]

Definitely

[@Mr.Vetkoek]

Noiiiiiice! I saw that and was like "please be more than just good looking". Thank you for the Review! I will buy this sooner or later. I want to dive into this World.

[@hindsightdocumentary8351]

I really enjoyed this when it launched on Game Pass and my 6 year old loved watching me play through it. Very glad it has come across well to the Switch!

[@TheJasonHG]

Played Planet of Lana on PC Game Pass and I absolutely loved it. I'm glad it's coming to other consoles because I need to experience this journey again on a bigger screen. The art style is gorgeous and the story is so touching. Definitely recommend if you're into puzzle platformers or just want to play a relaxing, sometimes challenging game with a cinema-quality story.

[@jadebrady5826]

I’ve just downloaded this today. Bit of a tough time for me at the moment and my switch has become a real comfort. Can’t wait to start it

[@chrisslade7788]

“I like it when the game switches things up” Me: *leo DiCaprio whistles and points at the screen*

[@SwitchUpYt]

Hahaha

[@michaeltraynor2313]

Finished this yesterday. Really liked it and me and the alien cat got on really well (although sorry to say I led it to its death on a number of occasions). Spot on review.

[@lees6307]

This looks pretty nice! Charming art style 😊

[@cal7447]

It looks heavily inspired by Inside, but with the brighter side of adventure and mystery which I also love. Definitely want to play it

[@jess2109]

I didn't really know about Planet of Lana until I saw it on Saturday's video but this review got my interest. Love the aesthetics of the game and the relaxing vibes of the gameplay and music. I'll wait for a sale though.

[@JaguarDave54]

Great title, I beat it on Gamepass. I was shocked when I saw how few people got the achievement for finishing the game. I hope more people complete the game on switch. Such a great experience, a visual treat.

[@switchingitup_]

I played this on Gamepass last year and it was an incredible experience. Tempted to pick it up on Switch, it would be perfect for the handheld that keeps on chugging!

[@Bakuuren]

To the wishlist it goes! I think I will wait for a bigger sale. Thanks for the review.

[@TheLiquidtroll]

Definitely going on my wish list

[@andyb311]

Love the look (and definitely the sound) of this one. I personally look at shortness of game as a positive these days because of so many responsibilities and lack of play time. Although I would wait until it's under £10 for a 4 hour game. It's going in the wishlist with the rest of them.

[@peanutboy999]

Played this when it came to game pass last year. Such a great little gem of a game.

[@sarasabotage986]

Look great, what a genuine review man!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thank you Sara! Mark

[@nathanielfoote7039]

Enjoy all of your content!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thanks mate

[@danchadwick3992]

Recently picked this up on Steam Deck, and it is a stunning game! Glad Switch users get to experience it!

[@r00khack97]

Been waiting for a game like this. The last time i felt a chill at a game trailer. 😳

[@benhigham8]

Excellent review as always. This looks right up my alley! Straight on the list. Cheers 😎

[@FigmentForever]

This game looks like just the thing to take me out of my head & into a gorgeous looking world of fun. Having a rough time so any distraction is helpful ♥️

[@lotheravanti4295]

Looks fantastic! Definitely getting this, thanks!

[@skysix5733]

You guys are absolutely masters at making relatable reviews. You do it with intelligence, wit, and without the cornball KZbin cartoonish culture invading the video. Top, top notch.

[@nickjones4455]

I’d love to see some upcoming games you’re excited for. I took a look at Surmount the other day and it looks like it could be a real treat!

[@markiimark6573]

Played on xbox last year. Nice little experience.

[@Dreadjaws]

I played this on GamePass a while ago, and while I didn't encounter the same bug you found I do remember running into a bug that required me to reload a save because it halted my progress. I can't remember exactly what it was. I think it was an enemy that didn't spawn or something like that. Otherwise a smooth experience. I pretty much agree with everything in your review. Unrelated to this game, my dog is named Lana.

[@BillScott-rc9bu]

I knew the music would be good on this, The musician Siobhan Wilson did the song Horizons which is featured in this game.

[@LunaticPrime]

Definitely has Studio Ghibli vibes. Especially that little black companion. But at the same time it could take place in the Star Wars universe. Just look at that sarlacc 4:45

[@Glostlyn]

When I first saw this game in your previous video it seemed like a normal platformer. But now after seeing it more deeply it actually looks and feels a lot like Another World and a little bit of Flashback. I guess I must be the only one remembering those, funny thing the HD version of those ageless games are available on the switch too.

[@tommasoannoni4836]

Wow, seems like a real good game - creative, charming, etc all you want from an indie gam (commenting for algorithm bcs it deserves it)

[@ZYKO745]

Thank you! I was curious about this one

[@LJY985]

I'm an hour or so in. Think you've been quite critical on the scoring front if the start is anything to go by. Giving me big Inside vibes

[@greenhill004]

Looks great, add it to my loooooonnnnng backlist of games.

[@roro4572]

I'm stoked to play this game!! Hopefully soon

[@jemmadavies3226]

This is a must buy for me, what a stunning looking game

[@SiobhanR28]

Yep this looks awesome. Will be getting my support. ❤

[@jadebrady5826]

Actually now I’ve heard some of the sound it reminds me a little of ICO which I first played on PS3 maybe 4 I forget now. Also a brilliant game

[@leemorse7851]

Looks great. I will probably buy when it’s on a deeper discount.

[@holobucket7626]

loved planet of lana. Stands at the top with games like limbo and little nightmares

[@JackProlaps]

This reminds me an awful lot of Heart Of Darkness from back in the day, lovely!! 😊

[@Miles_305]

The music sounds well impressive...probably not my cup of tea gameplay wise BUT I see the appeal.

[@danesmith4227]

Moving art work masterpiece. Definitely giving this one a go

[@hiwrenhere]

It's a really beautiful game but I am exhausted of side scrollers. I really like that this one is so bright and full of life! Not dark like many others.

[@Christophoronomicon]

Very beautiful and interesting game. The alien setting that seems to be the subject of a robotic alien invasion makes me think of Planet Alpha. Unfortunately it seems the language they use in there, while used consistently, is only a very simplistic conlang. Unfortunate, they could have done so much better with such a setting. Still, I'm definitely putting it on my wishlist.

[@bencorrigan5915]

This game reminds me of an old ps1 game heart of darkness. But you had me at cat companion 😍

[@paulblyth9793]

Looks like a really fun game. Got a bit of Flashback and Heart of Darkness vibes

[@JustJoeThings]

This looks absolutely magnificent!

[@robertsmith7758]

Reminds me of Out of This World. Even has the same art style almost.

[@vidclarke]

If there’s one game I wish you guys had a free copy to give away!! 😂

[@customsongmaker]

Finally the Switch gets an epic cel-shaded adventure with physics, puzzles, climbing, cave exploration, ancient spider-like robots, and boulders falling from the sky. As for the characters speaking pseudo-language instead of real words, I think it's a refreshing innovation.

[@benjaminerne]

BOTW/TOTK?

[@customsongmaker]

@@benjaminerne Yes, but Planet of Lana will be new to everyone except the few people who have seen Zelda games.

[@jonk4255]

Planet of Lana does look like a lovely game and one that I’d enjoy. However that price point is a sticking point for me. I would’ve purchased if the price had been the same as the launch of The Bug, however for now, one for the wish list sale

[@fleetadmiralmatteo4123]

This looks excellent. I’ll add it to the list. Might go for the Steam version, though.

[@ImusNoxa]

That looks really nice! Shortish games are valid

[@Kiteast1]

Nice!! Looks different from the basic platformer. Length?? Always length is good, experience just gives it the extra wow lol!! 😂😂

[@bkillinm]

Wow she’s a looker for sure

[@davidcbeaudoin]

This gives serious Heart of Darkness and Out of this World vibes.

[@eiterpet]

This game is one of the most beautiful experiences of my whole gaming life. You will not regret playing it!

[@kevinphelps5807]

looks to have an ICO-ish feel to it, so I'll have to get it eventually

[@sarasabotage986]

Indie World Showcase tomorrow!!! Whooooooooooo

[@Aalborg42]

Looks great and have put it on my wish list... Far too many games yet to play 😂

[@andrewthomas3270]

That looks Beautiful Mark sadly platformers are not for me because I have Dyspraxia sadly

[@SalvableRuin]

A Boy and His Blob.

[@SwitchUpYt]

FR!

[@carlosspicyweiner642]

Prince of persia set in a Ghibli world....does it for me 👍

[@shoked99]

Looks interesting. Thanks for the review.

[@d00mnoodle24]

60 fps alone should drive up the visuals and performance score by 2 points. Nearly ever other port is 30fps with tons of stutter and massively reduced image quality. But this looks and runs nearly as good as the pc version.

[@IrieVibez0520]

Idk why but right here 8:07 it sounds like Hunger Games music

[@Brinta3]

Prince of Persia had more fluid jumping motions in 1989.

[@Nedwig747]

You had me sold at Mooey!

[@NoReality204]

I pre-ordered this as soon as I saw it! Great review, looking forward to playing it. My 4yo daughter has now discovered my switch and we’ve been playing Mario wonder co-op, need some more suitable suggestions, Mark I know you must have a few!

[@incognito4354]

Snufkin Melody of moonville valley on the Nintendo switch is a great choice for what you are looking for

I loved this game even though it wasn't as good as inside i still found planet of lana enjoyable 😊

Looks like the classic game Flashback
