#NintendoSwitch #ThankGoodnessYoureHere #NintendoLife
I hope this ends up as a trilogy, with the sequel being called Thank Goodness You’re Back, and the final instalment Thank Goodness You’re Done.
The sequel needs to be "Oh no, not you again" for the true Northern feel
1: Thank goodness you’re here!
2: Oh, look who’s back!
3: Don’t let the door hit you on the arse on your way out.
@@Binerexis where you cause trouble instead of helping
🤣 that last one got me good I'm actually laughing right now @@thomaspeacock9375
"You play as an entirely unnamed yellow man." SOLD
I heard Matt Berry was in this and that makes it an instant buy no matter what.
I was already going to get this game, but now I'm going to get it just as soon as I can crawl out of this heatwave coma!
He was in Book of Boba Fett?
@@sparkypack he was! I don't remember the name of it but he was a droid. O ly had a few lines.
Galacticare has a relatively competent Matt Berry imitator in it, just saying.
FATTTTTHHHEERRRRRR!!!!
"Price Shaggers" "Stop the Stigma Shit Anywhere" and "Liminal spaces may be less engaging than they appear" Oh yes. I think I will enjoy this thoroughly lol
Thank goodness it's a review written by Alex.
Yet they still insist on using the first person plural in reviews. It’s insufferable.

@thomasbalzer3179 it's possible that while reviews are written by one person, multiple people are involved in the actual review process. Or it's just a way to focus on the nintendo life brand instead of just a single person.

This is the game Alex has been waiting to review his entire life.
Hello there, Alex from Nintendo Life.
Oh my goodness me.
They really nailed the style it feels like actually playing a cartoon, only other game like this I know is Cuphead
South Park Games maybe?
"Lost in Play" also comes to mind.
@@bbloomfield6497 What more games u know that is a cartoon? Aside from sword of dito and cartoon network battlecrasher?
@@forestlink6673 Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure
I really dig this art style.
It's like a mixture of Wallace & Gromit, The League of Gentlemen and an old Mr Scruff video called Sweetsmoke
As someone from Yorkshire, I feel almost obliged to play this 😂 dunno if I’ve ever seen a game set here
Me too.. I’ve almost given up on “GTA Goole” ever being released at this point
@@benironside1264 I’ll never stop believing
I've been keeping an eye out for this ever since it was announced, and Alex was the perfect person to review this one. This is humour that has been missing from interactive media for quite some time now, and I hope it's success sparks a resurgence of it.
They should bring co-op to a sequel and color him pink so we can do Pink and Yellow
Oh thank goodness! It’s an ALEX REVIEW!
An A-ok review.
The only reviews from Nintendo life I watch these days, ever since Jon left. (He is a part of good vibes gaming these days.)
Definitely getting this, it looks unique and funny plus there’s not enough games set in the UK. Matt Berry, even if it’s a small part, is just the icing on the cake.
Just thought, how amazing it would be if we had a League of Gentlemen game done in this style, I’d love to explore Royston Vasey and meet all its characters.
LOVE the Cartoon-like Animation: Thank goodness you're here Nintendo Life! 😊❤
I was already really into the visuals and the whole humor in it but what really sold were the menus. They are brilliant! I absolutely know this is a game for me
How did you get through both the review, and your own thoughts without mentioning Matt Berry?!
Got to save some goodies if anyone knows will love, do your own review.
100% will buy ; have played the demo a dozen times.
Definitely going to pick this up at Price Shagger.
Considering what it set out to do I feel like it deserves a full 10
What mark did it miss??
Also - You're right about the absence of "Real" Britain from media...
Didn't used to be the case!
Lets hope recent changes will put us back in the lens and have us be proud again... Warts and all :D
I've been so excited for this game since they announced it! Thanks for the review! Looking for some laughs!
You mean Thank goodness for the review
@@JV-ll1cu really missed an opportunity there didn't I?
Why it looks pretty bad
Been waiting for this 1 patiently since the reveal trailer. Now if we can just get release dates for Plucky Squire & Suikoden 1 & 2
i have to say, since i saw this game the first time i was really impressed with a lot of what i saw and very excited to see if it could deliver on all of its promising aspects
having played some of it, i don't think the gameplay, the writing and comedy, or even a lot of the voice acting, really hits the mark for me at all, and i would say that the only thing that this game nails is its visual presentation
maybe it just isn't my cup of tea, but i do hope everyone finds something to like about it
As I'm from Yorkshire I felt obliged to buy this game and was not disappointed. I can vouch that some of the humour and wit contained in this game, across some points of my nearly 40 years, reasonably accurate!
I just finished it, this game was brilliant, I loved it
It's been almost a month since this video but I keep coming back to it to hear Alex say "Well it's not yooer pleys to ask lad, now to do- be get tumblin' out windoh soon as geym should allow"
Hmmm, need to flip a coin on whether I want this on Switch or Steam Deck. I like the weight of my Switch better, but I wonder how I'd feel about the minor dips in frames. Doesn't look bad, though.
9/10! Excellent! I gotta check this out!
Definitely getting this. Looks great! Thank God for English humour. 🇬🇧 👍🏽 🇿🇦
It feels like a Tom Sharpe book made video game
Need a physical.
Okay, Alex , you have sold me on this game. Where can I buy it thank goodness for Alex reviewing this.
Sorry, what the supermarket called? Didn't quite catch it.
Carpet Baggers, I think. He only said it about 500 times, so I'm totally sure. If he'd said it 501 times, then I could give you a definite answer.
2:32 surely the appropriate name for the attack is a thump?
I briefly saw clips on this before and had no interest in it. But the way you described it in this review has me sold!
This looks crazy! I should play it! But I don't have a Switch. I want to cry.
It's coming out on Steam as well.
Hopefully coming to other consoles too
It's on PC and PS4/5.
Preordered and was not disappointed. Hilarious game.
Thank goodness it's here.
This feels like a childrens show fever dream
Buying this for me and the wife to sit and laugh at as Midlanders with family up North and in the hopes there is a sequel with co-op
Any news on a physical?
Looks like pure fun, I'm in.
I live in the town this is based off 😅
Are you the yellow man?
@@MadBulik If I am, I feel like I should be getting some kind of royalties
I need games like this Like I'm actually playing a cartoon
PRICE SHAGGERS
You sound SO MUCH like Asher’s at times 😅 Loved this game though. So odd but incredible
I seen this post and thought you were talking to me for a second lol
This and Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga are easily the funniest games I've ever played.
Bye Eck! Put kettle on. 😂
Not sure if I missed it, but what's the word on performance? Anyone know how it runs on Switch? I'm assuming without a hitch but I've been caught out by unsuspecting games before on the Switch?
He did state it, and generally good
The Thumbitt Inn lol
This game was created just so Alex could review it
Hmm. 🤨 I’m not sure if I get this game, it’s giving me some 60’s and 70’s vibes.
If as a kid yer Mam never sent you t'ye Aunties down road (not yer real Auntie) to borrow some Witch Hazel cos "Ar John's gone an got himself stung on nettles, the bloody pillock", then maybe just watch a Let's play 😄
The british humour echoes Rare's glory days. I can't wait to pick this up
Yes. Literally yes. Like yeah.
Barnsworth aka barnsley 😅
The new level of story games, great job from the artists. Game? No it's an entertainment something, still great btw❤
Can't wait. Been waiting forever!
Lmao
This looks damn funny. Definitely adding to my wishlist.
What was the name of that shop mate? I missed it
I can't find this on the switch store?
Is there any chance that this game will get a physical release?
First Name: Alex
Middle Name: From
Family Name: Nintendo Life
Is there a physical copy
Great review! I couldn’t agree more. Bought it on PS5 for less than £15 and enjoyed every minute of it. Absolute bargain.
Had to google the price. $20. For "a handful of hours" of playtime. It looks nice but not worth the price.
Games are meant for enjoyment, not a time sink.
Hate it when people equate a games length with its quality. It's a false economy.
@@whatamalike Exactly. The Guardian review put it perfectly - pay for this or for a ticket to see deadpool or wolverine. Same time commitment. For me, this was 2.5 hours of nonstop laughter and I’ll definitely play it again in a years time when I’ve forgotten the jokes. Amazing value for me.
7.5/10 for me, maybe because I'm not from the UK. (Although I have lived there for a few months.) I did feel it was a little repetitive at some points. Runs great on the switch.
More Zion reviews! Great job though, Alex, as always!
Zion is at the Olympics... training team Mario or team Sonic right now.
nevermind, Mario & Sonic Olympic games died. Zion's mission failed.
Is this canon with Wallace and Gromit ?
Clicked on this thinking it was news about the system
Goose game energy
Same publishers
My and the fiancée really loved it. But 15€ for a 2 hour game is very harsh. No matter how good it is...
How much would you pay for a cinema ticket or two? Same time commitment, except you get to keep the game forever. I’d say that’s good value if you enjoyed it.
@@brucenicol6234 Not really going to the cinema anymore as it's too expensive.
Anyone else think this was a super late review of the switch console and the game name was just a headline?
Looks like Smiling Friends
Naah. Kinda though.
Price Shaggers.
good morning alex
Haha am frum tarn (cudeth specifically)
How long is it?
He said in the review, it’s roughly 3 hours.
Yesh about 2 to 3 hours. And a considerably more enjoyable 2 to 3 hours than the multiple hours spent with 95% of thr triple a slop released these days
Great game and fun
It was decent as a form of entertainment, but if there’s a sequel I hope they put some actual real gameplay in there. This is barely even a game.
Not for kids dang
it dosent know how to end
I'd say the age of 20
🎉
☺️☺️
Are you being served?
You had me at closed due to smacky bum bum.
hello there lovely peeee politz
This isn't a review. It's an ad.
But it was released and no one plays the full game
So weird..
Why no Xbox release?
Not a fan of Cal Arts style tho.
I don't know if I'd call that Cal Arts, it looks like more of a British cartoon style (it's also made by British people)
@@zeldadonkey1I'm not too familiar with British cartoons. I mentioned 'Cal Arts' simply because some of the character designs are very similar to Gravity Falls, which to me is an epitome of Cal Arts style.
Thank god Felix didn't review this game. He'd suck all the personality right out of it.
Don't get it. A two hour game with no gameplay other than walking around touching stuff. Easily pleased I guess 😅
I'm guessing it's like an interactive book or a cartoon.
Game isn't realistic, no migrants can be found.
I'm at 1:00 in and this game is so repulsive, i can't watch any more, the sound is like nails on a chalkboard
