Can't wait to get this one. Looks great for fans of puzzle/platformers. Comes out tomorrow.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Damn, this looks really good! I've added it to my wishlist.

 

[Little Chicken]

Oh it's on Game Pass

 

[Punished Miku]

Been really excited for this one since it's first reveal. Looking prettyyyyy good so far.

5-6 hours is always fantastic around this time of year. Will definitely have time to work that in.

 

[Robb]

Sounds interesting, although not sure if it’s for me. I’ll give it a try if it’s on GamePass though.

 

[TexMex]

Absolutely can't wait.

I'll admit I was a little underwhelmed with the reveal, but after Limbo and Inside they get extreme benefit of the doubt, and glad to see the reviews.

Hopefully this goes live tonight, buying it minute one.

 

[analog_future]

I knew it.

Looked incredible from the very first reveal.

I thought the same, but I was slightly worried after Somerville let me down. This sounds like it may just deliver.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Huge fan of Inside, will buy it and support the devs.

 

[VanCityGamer]

I really enjoyed Limbo and Inside, but this game sounds much less my style. It seems to be more puzzle focused and difficult.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Looks very interesting. Definitely on the wish list.

 

[Fart Knight]

Guess I'll give it a try

 

[Black_Mamba]

So it looks like the team that created Limbo and Inside disbanded a long time ago. That's not good. Their new game is taking a long time, but at least they're teasing it from time to time and the art looks phenomenal.

 

[Fart Knight]

Switch that IGN review off after 2 seconds. Big yikes

 

[DeepEnigma]

Definitely on my radar.

 

[RoadHazard]

Seems cool. But - and this may seem petty or silly - a game being on GP day 1 makes me think the dev isn't confident enough in the game to believe it will sell, and that makes me not want to buy it and instead wait for it to come to PS+.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Not surprised. Inside and Limbo were awesome

 

[DenchDeckard]

Fuck me this looks awesome. I'm in....

Dammit, another game pass banger....its relentless.

 

[Arachnid]

Annapurna, you fkn nerds

I want an update on Silent Hill: Townfall

 

[[Sigma]]

Annapurna be winning.

 

[Ogbert]

Can never be sure with these hipster games.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Looks like a nice puzzle game to tide me over till Talos Principal 2.

 

[Rockondevil]

Inside and Limbo are both good games. This being on Game Pass is an easy sell.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Is that the Wilford Brimley game?

 

[abstract alien]

What's the price point? It doesn't say in PSN.

 

[Duchess]

It's listed on Steam as £19.99 / $19.99, so I imagine it'll be around that price on PSN.

 

[Fbh]

Have been keeping an eye out for this. Looks amazing.

Anapurna has a great eye for indie/small budget games.

 

[Negotiator101]

[touchfuzzy]

Yeah there was some game last year from one of the LIMBO / INSIDE guys too that ended up being not too great, doesn't mean too much...

Also, is there anyone still at Playdead who worked on those games at this point? Lol.

 

[Darkness_Arises]

Not paying any money to a dev who does not have confidence in their own project. If a game releases on gamepass or PS+ day one, regardless of quality I will not buy until it goes on a fire sale.

What type of weirdo statement is this lol

Here we go!

So, It's not gamepass that directly devalues games it's fanboys being so entrenched in their console of choice that instead of seeing the positives of a great service they devalue the games on game pass in their own mind until it comes to their preferred service.

So yes, gamepass devalues games to those who refuse to see it's worth.

 

[Interfectum]

That voice…

 

[T-Cake]

I'm guessing it's not appearing until 6pm or so UK time? I'm eager to try it out on PCGP.

Looked great from it's first showing, so not that surprising. Will dive into this soon.

2 hours 45 minutes to go...

Launching on Game Pass today, reviewing rather well.

nice.

And then Lamplighters League and Gotham Knights in 4 days. And then Forza.

Just pure grade A chiquita bananas this year. Insane fall line up.

Lamplighters League seems like it's coming in a poor state, saw some reviews and the game has a lot of crashes and bad performance.

September has been a pretty good month otherwise.

 

[Dick Jones]

Support the devs. Great pedigree and to no surprise it's another hit. Congratulations!

 

[drotahorror]

Wonder what time it'll be up on gamepass? It's up on steam in 1 hour apparently.

INSIDE is one of the best games I've ever played so I got to atleast try this one even if it doesn't interest me as much.

Might be around 1PM EST (2~ hours from this post) usually the GP daily stuff is updated then.

I refuse to believe you two are serious.

Many ‘confident’ developers have gone belly up after consumers failed to put their money where their mouth was.

Ouch. Thats a bummer if true.

Seems like a fun X-com style game, but yeah it's probably gonna need a few more patches first

The transitions between worlds looks nuts.
