[GymWolf]

Nice to hear.

 

[megreotsugua]

It looks like this game will be short. I'm looking forward for a wonderful experience with this game.

 

[Orpheum]

Very cool. Looking forward to it

 

[Soodanim]

It's good to see a game hitting the market at a different price point, it would be nice to have a more consistent variety in the market.

Shame it's EGS, but I don't want that to be the focus here.

Pretty okay specs requirement, should run beautifully on a new rig.
Is it timed exclusive on EGS or a full exclusive?

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is coming to Steam, after the Time Release on Epic Games Store

Kena: Bridge of Spirits was shown at the Future of Gaming PlayStation 5 event back in June, and it captivated us with its gorgeous art style. It is one of several titles shown at the conference that is making its way to PC, however, as an Epic Store timed exclusive first. A fan emailed the […]

Probably, but after digital

 

[Areiz]

Probably, but after digital

Got it
I would gladly buy a physical edition of this even for 60$ if they'll do it

 

[Roufianos]

Oh really, it looks like a £70 game like Returnal.

 

[Orta]

At that price point I'm expecting 10-12 hours. Suits me just fine to be honest.

Not every game needs to be a '100 hour epic'.

 

[Danjin44]

It looks like this game will be short. I'm looking forward for a wonderful experience with this game.

This is a good thing, this game is Ember Lab's first time making video game, there is no need to unnecessary stretch the game for sake of long hour play time.

Q1 2022... Then I’ll play through EGS. My library is growing steadily anyway from the free games so I’m starting to slowly accept that EGS exist.

 

[AV]

Fine with me, I'll take a £30 ~15 hour platinum that looks like that. Any day.

 

[Arun1910]

Good price.

Quality > Length.

If this gives me 10-12 hours of story time I'll be happy for that price.

 

[Tommi84]

At that price point I'm expecting 10-12 hours.

We ... uhmm... already know it's not a lengthy game:

How long is it?
It’s tough to put an exact number on this, because of the number of side activities, but Josh says they set out to make something players could comfortably finish over a weekend.

We’re sure you have a lot of questions about Ember Lab’s adventure game. And we’ve got answers!

[SkylineRKR]

Yeah I saw the pre-order yesterday, 26th of August is still quite a way off though.

But fair price. Its a new IP, perhaps not a huge game and by a studio without a track record.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Returnal should also launch at this price.

 

[SCB3]

Oh really, it looks like a £70 game like Returnal.

The fact that they tried to justify selling Returnal for £70 is a joke, it's a Indie game that's £30 at best from what I've seen.

Jena on the other hand looks fantastic

 

[Skifi28]

Common sense prevails. At least for once.

 

[Gediminas]

Good price.

Quality > Length.

If this gives me 10-12 hours of story time I'll be happy for that price.

they said something that the game is around 8h long. i prefer longer even for that price.

no physical release on launch? they will miss some preorders for sure.

 

[turtlepowa]

Now THAT is a fair price.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Nice. I thought it was a $60 to $70 game for some reason.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Its good they're being reasonable with the price and length of the game, cause i honestly can't put a lot of faith in this title.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

The fact that they tried to justify selling Returnal for £70 is a joke, it's a Indie game that's £30 at best from what I've seen.

Jena on the other hand looks fantastic

These dumbass takes never get old

 

[Elios83]

Now THAT is a fair price.

A fair price that still won't prevent gamers and reviewers from complaining when it turns out the game is 7-8h long so there is an actual reason behind the price and they're not making you a gift?

In any case I'm really looking forward to this game, it looks really charming and it seems they have good gameplay in place. Still waiting to preorder though, I'd like to see actual impressions since this is not from a well proven dev team.

 

[Spukc]

Oh really, it looks like a £70 game like Returnal.

valheim is a 16 euro game.
your logic is flawed

 

[oldergamer]

This game is likely short at that price. Im guessing south of 10hr

 

[John Day]

I was sold already on it, that is sweet.

 

[Sander Cohen]

No physical - no buy.

 

[GHG]

It's sad that we've reached a point where this price is considered to be "good" for an indie game but I'm ok with it.

Getting strong Kameo vibes from the game which is only a good thing.

 

[Captain Toad]

No physical - no buy.

Then buy the physical version.

 

[Captain Toad]

It's sad that we've reached a point where this price is considered to be "good" for an indie game but I'm ok with it.

Getting strong Kameo vibes from the game which is only a good thing.

It's pretty sad when we complain about $40 for a game that looks this good. This game has higher production values than some big games from big studios.

 

[FrankWza]

$39.99 is the new $29.99 and $69.99 is the new $59.99....
Hellblade was $29.99 when it came out. Short game.

20 bucks with regional pricing
That's why I want to mainly go with PC this gen

Based on the size of the studio and the price I think people should temper their expectations a bit.

$12 here.

Bought it just in case it's a price/conversion mistake. Hate the EGS but

 

[jroc74]

Hellblade was $29.99 when it came out. Short game.

Yeah, I can see this.

Shocked as hell that Hellblade was $29. That doesnt seem right.

 

[FrankWza]

Yeah, I can see this.

Shocked as hell that Hellblade was $29. That doesnt seem right.

I could be wrong. I thought it was

 

[Concern]

$40? Yeaaaaa no thanks.

No rush for this anyway. Just get it on plus later on.

 

[FrankWza]

Yeah, I can see this.

Shocked as hell that Hellblade was $29. That doesnt seem right.

Yeah. I just checked. It was $29.99

 

[Captain Toad]

Yeah, I can see this.

Shocked as hell that Hellblade was $29. That doesnt seem right.

Why? The game was mostly a walking simulator.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Never pre-order. Wait for reviews.

and not the reviews that come out day one for hits

 

[blastprocessor]

It's UE4 so performance could be an issue. Best wait for the reviews but it does look good.

 

[IntentionalPun]

What actually has anyone excited for this game?

The pre-rendered cut scenes?

The fact it's from a company formed by 2 guys who never made a game?

The incredibly generic 20 seconds of gameplay footage?

That it was on the Ps5 show and its a timed exclusive. Just like GodFall lol.

I think it looks good but not to the point people are taking it.

If this game is half as good as Godfall it will be worth the entry fee.

Game keeps getting better and better. 40 bucks seems like a steal for what looks like a great, great game.
