Steam reviews are accurate to the game's audience.
Meaning, people who wanted that type of game liked it or not.
In a way, it's a better fit than random reviewer reviewing something he does not care about or just wants to shit on.
The map thing in Hollow Knight doesn't bother me, I honestly don't look at it unless I'm revisiting a previous area to go to a shop / ledge I couldn't get to. I think most of my time has been spent in areas without a map, just because I like to push as far as I can before I get to impassable obstacle #9 
I dunno, I never use maps in Metroidvanias for exploring, just for backtracking. When I'm exploring, I'm exploring, and a map doesn't really help with that.
My sole complaint about Hollow Knight so far is that the benches can be spaced pretty far apart and there's no death checkpoints besides them, but this is pretty common in Metroidvanias it seems like. And overall still a lot easier to get around fast than say Axiom Verge.

They're doing work
Gameplay changes for the better, and Online/Splitscreen MP? badass.
They went to town on this compared to Turok 1 (Which was still a good port), where they just made it better graphics and left it more or less the same.

Great to see that Night Dive Studios is alive.
Description says it'll be $20.
Does Ghosttricks banbet trigger to the US or the EU release?

I wonder which soundtrack will be in game - from n64 or pc version (or maybe both!)?

Lol, I can't figure out where you're supposed to input the discount code at PlayAsia.
My only wish is that they had some kind of map marking note system. Zelda DS did that, but it wasn't really important because Zelda wasn't nearly as obtuse as Hollow Knight. I keep trying to go to dead ends because they're open, I just lack any ability.
I was stuck for like an hour so I gave up and looked on youtube and an area I thought was a dead-end had a path on it, but I couldn't see it because it wasn't on the map.
I love that they're re-releasing these games with clean resolutions and frame rates, but man. They're shooting themselves in the foot with that $20 price tag. It's just too much. Way outside nostalgic impulse-buy range.
But then again, Cerebral Bore.

Other versions...do you meant it was released on previous consoles before the ps3?I'll ask about it, but it might depend on rights issues.
I did just Tweet this "If anyone was wondering the new JRPG PC port is based on a PS3 version, but there are other versions out there." https://twitter.com/Ghostlight_Ross/status/836585508830597121
And miss out on this fabulous opportunity to tease people
Edit.
Beaten to my own tease *shakes fist*
No.

I still say the Ghostlight port is El Shaddai.

Yeah, Sega forgot about PC
iirc they have both jRPG and action game planned ... so El Shaddai would fit the action one
.. but this tease was about jRPG
That would be amazing.

Sega only publishes their titles themselves, so it wouldn't be under Ghostlight. Laughing Jackal would be the ones working with Sega and we'd get teases from Sega themselves for games.
In other news:
After XSEED revealed Estival Versus for PC I was relieved that it was not mystery title 427700.
https://steamdb.info/sub/13578/apps/
However the same day they revealed the Estival store page they also updated 427700. I'm thinking that this mystery game is an old Falcom title; not Cold Steel, but perhaps something else from Falcom's library.
Zwei II clearly

Long shot but since people are bringing up Sega JRPGs, what if it's Atelier Rorona Plus? It appeared on two platforms and K-T are probably concentrating on the Atelier series present and going forward. Food for thought.

Ghostlight
In addition to a PS3 version it was released in at least one other format.

We need to check the philips CDi library
Highly doubtful that KT wouldn't just publish it themselves. And by publish I mean they lock an unpaid intern in a closet with a computer running Windows ME to port the game in under 3 months.
Vanillaware is possible. Atlus Japan titles not possible; they'd probably perform ritual suicide before they let a European third party publish one of their games.
New Steamworld Project is Steamworld Dig 2
Dig was alright, but i'd much rather have Heist 2 or something different yet again .
Only announced for switch so far, but it'll most likely come to PC some months later just like the other 2

Ghostlight is going to want to self publishing their releases, so it's not going to be a game where another publisher controls the IP.
Oh that expands it a bit

That....actually seems more likely than anything posted this far.
Can't wait to play all these "exclusive" indiegames 6 months later on PC

I never thought that i miss oldschool low-budget shooters from 90s-00s so much before i played Ubersoldier II

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
For once it's Nintendo ripping off Sony.
I mean, the offer @ that price would be insanely tempting. But no, subscription model future is not for me - I value the idea of ownership and being able to replay games I like too much.

Pocket Rumble announced for Switch and I saw it's been on Steam for a like a year. How is it? Is it actually a decent fighter?
