Hey everyone,
I wanted to just stop by again and say thank you all for the feedback and thoughts on RiME. Today has been a very special day for our teams. RiME has been an absolute labor of love and we could not be more thrilled at its reception.
From everyone here at Team RiME, thank you all for the support (whatever side of the spectrum you fell). Your words (both negative and positive) helped make RiME what it is today. This is my first role in the games industry, and my first time working directly with a Community in an official capacity and I will say you guys have been extremely welcoming, so I thank you all for that.
We're not done though, we have launch day to go, so keep that feedback and your thoughts coming!

Is there a demo available? I'd love to get a feel for how it controls. I really wanted to love Ico but I couldn't stand the janky controls/AI. This looks like it could have similar vibes.
Rime, which comes out tomorrow from Spanish studio Tequila Works, feels like an attempt to create a game that captures all of the positive components of an Ueda game while stripping away their recurring negatives. Virtually everything about the game calls to mind the auteurs work, whether its the quiet, helpless protagonist; the ancient, mysterious world; or the subtle, at times heart-scrunching, story that holds the project together. But Rime is also a much more polished experience than its obvious inspirations. There are no setbacks, like being stuck on an obtuse puzzle, or fighting against the controls to navigate a perilous series of jumps.
Rime is a near-perfect facsimile. And yet, for all its beauty and wonder and technical craft, Rime also struggles to be more than an homage.
Hey any update on timeline for the Switch release? Congrats on the great reviews as well!Hey everyone,

The comparisons to Journey are disheartening, I was hoping for a lot more solid puzzles and platforming and not just press forward for 2 hours and look at pretty stylistic graphics.
And I enjoyed Journey (and Abzu) for what they were, just not enough to pay for them (Abzu in particular was like 90 minutes). Certainly not 30 dollars.

99% of the time, a Journey comparison is describing atmosphere, tone, and storytelling style, not gameplayThe comparisons to Journey are disheartening, I was hoping for a lot more solid puzzles and platforming and not just press forward for 2 hours and look at pretty stylistic graphics.

That's good to hear, cuz the Journey comparisons had me a little dismayed (that game is pretty and atmospheric, but the gameplay is an utter bore.)It's absolutely not that at all. You actually puzzle and explore. The journey comparison has more to do with atmosphere and provably the tower you need to reach. I wouldn't compare it to journey at all, though i can see where it is coming from.
So people say this game reminds them of Journey? I hated that "game" with a passion. Definitely a wait for sale on this one.

I'll get it when it's on sale. Looks promising.

We do not have a release date yet for the Switch, we're still working on it.
same ($40.00 here in canada!) ...
Lol at the universally bloated scores from Spanish sites.
~7,5 seems the consensus ignoring those, still better than the interactive wallpaper Journey and the AI Fighting Simulator TLG, I'm ok with it.
Why is it $10 more on switch?

The digital version is the same price, the physical version includes our OST.
...yes, that's pretty mixed.??? What the fuck are people going on about with a 'mixed' reviews? Like are people so stilted these days somehow over half of the reviews out there being above a 9/10, and then a few 8s, 7s, and 6s making up the other half is 'mixed'.
What type of backward critical reception world have I walked into. I've not even been following this game closely, but what type of twisted mindsets are people trying to employ to paint this as 'mixed'?
...yes, that's pretty mixed.
Going by Opencritic,...yes, that's pretty mixed.
A) Calm downNo, it fucking isn't. That's like normal well received games. By this mindset, what the hell type of games are those that score in the 7s range for example. This is simply normal 'well received' critical response, by the definition of 'mixed' being spouted here then literally almost everything in the goddamn world is met with 'mixed' reviews' It's a twisted standard skewed to paint objectivity as mixed rather than consensus.
Like legitimately these reviews are on par with a very well received film. Is gaming so backwards that this is 'mixed'?
...yes, that's pretty mixed.
Going by Opencritic,
4 reviews are 6s
3 reviews are 7s
27 reviews are 8s or higher
3 are unscored but very positive
That's not a mixed reception
RiME is ranked in the top 8.1% of games scored on OpenCritic
Based on 34 scored reviews, 37 reviews total.
Anyone know what time this unlocks on Steam? Will it be around midnight or will we have to wait until around noon?
ugh I'm so torn. I REALLY want this on switch, but I'm also not sure if I want to wait. I really wish games were just licenses that you could use on any platform instead of all this double-triple dipping shit. bah.
says 15 hours
A) Calm down
B) Definitions in terms of critical response aren't some hard-cut thing. Reception can still be mixed but on the positive side.
C) It's more than just a couple outliers who are having a more tepid response to the game.
D) Comparisons to film are pointless on a consumer level when one is a $13 movie ticket and the other is a $30-$40 videogame.
E) Not to backseat mod here, but you're not going to convince anyone to buy this game by screaming that people are wrong to be hesitant. If you want to tackle the hipocracy of game reviews, you'd have a better time creating a thread about that.
Nice to see it's getting good reviews from the good outlets, and an average of 84 in Open Critic.
This time I won't even read what the reviews rating it under 7.
I'm glad they turned this game around after all the bad things we were hearing around the time Sony pulled support. I really want to play it, but I'd rather get Switch Physical. So torn.
Actually, after rethinking I better go with PS4 for the Boost Mode.
