IGN dives into the Switch port of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night to showcase exactly how rough of a port it is.
ArtPlay released a new video providing details and footage about upcoming content for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, alongside sales news.
The Humble Must-Play Metroidvania Bundle just launched with Blasphemous, Hollow Knight, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and more. As always, a percentage supports charity.
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "Despite whatever annoyances I have, there’s no question that Ritual of the Night is a very good start. It handles exploration and item progression about as well as any indie Metroidvania I’ve played, and has some really good location variety to supplement it. The combat and balancing are problems that hopefully get smoothed out in the now-announced sequel (I think that’s still happening? It’s been two years since we heard anything concrete), but if it can improve on those, it’ll be a highlight of the genre. For now, though, it's still a good example of the genre."
Fantastic game if you enjoy side strollers I'd say this is a must play. I was sad when it ended. Lots of things to keep you playing
Really hoping they're hard at work optimizing. This isn't just an ordinary game, it's funded by the fans, which means there's an even bigger level of importance on fixing big issues.
I’ve heard the switch port has 2 problems. One being that it’s buggy and laggy which seems like an easy enough fix but the other is that when compared to the PS4 version it looks like a ps2 game. That’s the one that has me bummed. I feel like this would be a good game to play on switch but if they can’t fix the graphic quality then I’ll have no choice but to get the PS4 version.
Whoa input lag would be the only true criticism, the Graphics and frame rate are to be expected for a Switch port.
I've got my Switch copy yesterday, i'm in the second stage after the ship, till now no bugs, and the game feels like SOTN at the fullest. I hope till i progress further a new patch will be released. The game is very good!
Btw I haven't noticed input lags until now.
I'll be opening my copy today and seeing how bad the damage is. I hope they release an update to fix these things quick.
