Well a 89 is pretty hard to beat.

I do expect Bloodborne to be in the high 80s but no one knows if it will reach 89 or even 90+

Hopefully this goes up to 90+ with a couple more reviews.

I'm going to pick up this and Bloodborne. Showed my girlfriend the Ori trailer and she loved it. She can play through this while I play Bloodborne... we can all be happy

 

[Smutpeddler]

good to see the reviews turn out well, although I wouldn't get too hung up on that 90+ arbitrary meta.

 

[GlamFM]

Did not expect reviews to be this good.

Day 1 (tomorrow?)

Can´t wait.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Nice reviews and its such a pretty game. I have more than enough credit in my xbox account to buy this. Thumbs up to the devs!

 

[Captain Bluey]

Is it out yet?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Good to know the game is as great as it looks.
It will grace my Xbox One at some point.

 

[Lemondish]

I fully expect some salt to show up here eventually (did it already?). Can't use imgur at work or I'd break out a pic of the street crew salt trucks from our lovely winters of late.

A lot of times the reviewers and gamers disagree, at least to an extent. But so far I haven't spoken with a single person that has played it early (sometimes via questionable methods, which peeves me a bit) that didn't love it. Just over 12 more hours...

Why would there be salt?

Looks fantastic, and despite it being a very generic metroidvania title, it seems to hit all the right notes.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Great work Banjo.

Thank you for the kind words

For further meaning, and I'll have to double check, but I believe that is the first time our site has given a 10/10

I can't wait to see everyone else's impressions when the game launches tonight

Is it out yet?

I believe that it unlocks at 5 PM PST tonight

 

[PaulLFC]

Great reviews, and the game looks incredible, but the references to high difficulty are putting me off a bit - I don't seem to be nearly as good at games lately as I used to be. I wouldn't want to buy this and end up getting frustrated with it after an hour or two and then not bothering with it.

 

[Feindflug]

Very good reviews, happy to hear that the game is challenging.

Can't wait to play this.

 

[U2NUMB]

If anyone has some Best Buy reward money to burn you can get the digital code there too.. knocked my price down to 9.99!!

Ori @ BB

 

[DALBEN]

Why cant i buy this on my X1 ? Common MS.

[no maam]

Happy to see this game review well, congrats moon! Also happy that anyone with a pc or Xbox can play the game. Good guy Microsoft.

 

[Give War A Chance]

Game looks great! Great to see it doing well. I feel like the only games doing great lately are the "middle tier" ones. Weird.

Ori @ BB

Thanks but what's the point of these codes when you could just buy Xbox gift cards with your best buy gift card?

 

[Theorry]

Big tip from what i see on livestreams etc. Make savepoints, alot of them. Autosave doesn't happen alot

 

[Friction]

Can't wait for this to be available on the Market place. How many more hourssss.....

It just comes with the territory. I've seen a couple posts already that seemed to downplay for no justifiable reason. Threads like this for exclusive games on either side of the fence eventually pull in console war nonsense, which inevitably includes salt. Just surprised it's been mostly positive so far, and thankful for it.

I believe that it unlocks at 5 PM PST tonight

Yep, 5pm pacific.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Yup being bundled in Austria only

I think the bundle comes with a download code, not a physical copy of The game.

 

[v0mitg0d]

I'm going to stream this gorgeous game for a bit at 1080P. Come hang if ya like!

PS - I LOVE this game!!

 

[Kacho]

I've seen the name of this game floating around for months now but I had no idea this was a gorgeous looking Metroidvania game. Excited to check this out later today.

 

[Ont]

That recent trailer was amazing and pretty much sold the game to me.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

I see a lot of similarities to the Trine games in terms of graphical style but the gameplay looks to be pretty different. I'm still on the fence about this. In a lot of the footage I've seen timing plays a really important part in progressing in the levels. Wish there was a demo on steam.

That's simply because it's indie and available on the PC as well. Otherwise this thread would have gone to shit already.

 

[Barry Burton]

Awesome! Looks like they delivered on what they were going for. Will definitely download sometime later this week.

 

[Omnistalgic]

awww gosh darrnit! Just checked Steam no Mac version woe is me '-(

Hmmm...Looks like I'm going to have to wait for the first drop on Surface 3 then. That's the only Windows platform I'm going to be having at home now. Anyone know if Surface 3 is powerful enough to run this?

Yep, 5pm pacific.

it's a smaller scale game and available on PC. The salt mostly comes with AAA console exclusives. Though I am salty now I thought I would be able to play this sooner than I will actually be able too '-) looks incredible! and this type of moody art direction is more up my alley than something like Guacemelee or Axiom Verge.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Nice

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Man the difficulty scares me. But then again I am getting bloodborne in a few weeks, might as well warm myself up with this.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Is that the equivalent of the X1 version? Videos looks awfully pretty.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Doubtful but not sure.

 

[Mista]

This beauty definitely deserves it!
Cant wait for tomorrow

 

[DomsPlaying]

Great reviews across the board are awesome, congrats Moon Studios! I was going to be picking it up regardless for my X1, and it seems like it's getting the recognition it deserves for being a challenging, beautiful platformer. Looking forward to trying it out soon

 

[Sikamikanico]

Who's doing the OT for the game?

 

[lt519]

Wondering how well my system will run this. On the docket to buy this month, just need to finish up some other games first.

 

[PooBone]

Buying this so hard. I kept checking the Xbox Marketplace over the weekend to see if they've added a pre-buy/pre-load option.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Getting this for sure. Looks great.

 

[FlyinJ]

I'm torn on what to buy this on.

I have a decent PC. I'd like to get the PC version, but if it's extremely optimized for the Bone, I'd rather go with that SKU.

 

[LastNac]

But will it bring dem feels?

I don't know bro, I think there might be some forced walking. Prepare yourself

 

[Abounder]

Such a gorgeous looking game, looks like a must have. Can't wait to play

 

[op_ivy]

game sounds fantastic. even if it turned out average it would be worth it for the visuals alone, but GOTY worthy gameplay as well? challenging? metroidvania with no loading and repeating art assets? ohhhh my

Thomas said it probably wouldn't run at native res with the integrated graphics, but it should run it.

 

[Stealthcobra]

Any wword if this is ever coming to ps4?

 

[Grexeno]

Any wword if this is ever coming to ps4?

Microsoft owns the IP.

 

[TaKeRx]

Any wword if this is ever coming to ps4?

MS owns the IP and is publishing it.

 

[Noobcraft]

Any wword if this is ever coming to ps4?

Microsoft owns the IP. So about as likely as Bloodborne coming to Xbox One (it won't)

 

[Derpyduck]

Any wword if this is ever coming to ps4?

Yes, that word is "no".

 

[Ray Wonder]

Oh boy, this is good news. Can't wait until tomorrow.
