Mike Ybarra, on twitter, looks to be waiting for the first person to tweet him when they 1000g/1000g the game. Maybe you'll get something cool?

Beat the game without dying... And some reviewers died hundreds of times lol. I don't think I stand much of a chance xD

I'm pretty sure there are some achievements tied to finding secrets in the game, so it looks like a yes.

Hopefully they won't be just "get a power to reach an unreachable place. Here's the secret". You know what I mean.

I'm talking more like... the secret area in Limbo, for example. Where you have to find all the glowing things...

The comparisons with super meat boy make me very excited, I absolutely love that game!

Unfortunately, I'm the opposite - comparisons like that make me reconsider getting this game.

Still, looks absolutely gorgeous.

This looks like an unbelievable game... I saw the first 10 mins and I already got sunk into its world emotionally.

Grats for all XB1 owners. Now I gotta find myself a way to play this!

I really hope the Steam release gets bumped up. I mean, I know I have HLM2 to play, but I still want this!
 
Great reviews. I like that the game is challenging.

When this game was first revealed, I thought it looked nice, but it didn't really grab me.

Now, I just looked at some videos on the game's Steam store page and was blown away by the varied environments. Platforming/control also seems tight and responsive. I'm sold.

Picking up the PC version tomorrow.

The PC release schedule is insane right now. Cities Skylines, Hotline Miami 2, and Ori all in the same 24 hour period.

Spread them out!

All 3 are sitting at around 90 on metacritic too.

Fantastic week, and all are reviewing extremely well. Wonder if there will be a week that tops this one all year.

In a world where Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 don't exist, sure.

SO yes, but I'm pretty sure the general consensus is SF4 > KI. For FH 2 maybe, since it's considered the best open road driving game created right now? I don't know about it's sales.

It's pretty wild. And we still get PoE in ~2 weeks.

Good thing I am used to buying stuff and immediately putting it on the backlog!

Wait is this coming for the 360 as well?

Because a 360 I have! How big is the difference between the 2 versions? Ofcourse I assume that 60 fps is out of the question, but other than that and 720p does the game hold up graphically well enough?

Please say yes... :D :p

Yeah I don't even know what to play anymore.

I'm just going to lie down somewhere and imagine I'm playing all the games.

Revelations episode 3, and that Evil Within DLC will also be out. Jam packed week.

I'm surprised by how high the scores are. I was planning to wait for a while before jumping on this due to backlog but I might have to give this one priority and play it ASAP.

I'm with you. However, if you look up the game site, the devs speak about how they went back to Super Metroid and A Link to the Past for inspiration. How or why anyone would sit Super Meat boy alongside either of those games is beyond me and I would rather give the devs the benefit of the doubt.

That's actually very helpful, thanks!

SF4 is currently not available on X1 and KI is a good reason to own a X1 in imo, is it the best fighting game of all time? No, but it is a damn good one that is regularly updated and better than the other fighting games currently available on X1. Also, FH2 sales is irrelevant...the game is good and that's why it's mentioned.

On Topic:

Really glad to see the reviews this game is getting, and good to see Phil acknowledging that. Does MS own Moon Studios/IP?
