This is PS5 footage, but it's a fair assumption that XsX is the same. Here is the old OT and some of my own experiences in a random thread

RiME is 60 fps on next gen, really worth a look if you haven't

It was the same but the game picks up big time after 3 hours. I thought the game gives a very bad first impression.
I really enjoyed it. No real desire to play it again though.
It's one of those one and done games.
Still though to me 8/10

Underrated game. That ending hit like a truck but I can see why some ppl may not like it. Doesn't have much going on for it.

Unfortunately 60fps doesn't make a shit game suddenly good.
Yes, he is running mostly.

Not at all. It's very Zelda like in that you are doing dungeons and puzzles constantly but it's a linear storyline.
I would describe it as a cross between journey and Zelda.

I'd say it's an ICO-style game, there's both platforming and puzzles

Performance is terrible in 4K on PC still.

Even if it was a walking sim that doesn't automatically mean it's a bad thing.

There are some puzzles, but it's mostly exploration and atmosphere.
I didn't really like it, it's not bad but it also does nothing particularly clever with most of the time it takes to go from A to B in order to progress. I remember the ending because it's a bit of a twist, but my mind already wiped out 90% of everything else that was in this game.
But then again, I also thought Ico was just good-ish, so it's clearly not a genre for me.

It's enjoyable but not great.

I prefer bugsnacks. Atleast the puzzles and walking are sprinkled with goofiness

Its a really slow intro, not much puzzling at the start.
I haven't gotten around to this but I will, I can't say no to feeding mangoes to snuffling pigs.

One of those games that really surprised me. Thought it would be ok, but ended up loving it .

Not really, it's the first thing I thought of after the opening.

One of my favorites from this gen.
Played it through a couple of times and its a game of rare emotional intelligence, which may sound pretentious but what it boils down to is the way it deploys animations, audio-cues, art direction etc. At the optimal times to give its wordless story maximum impact.
Please don't toss it aside as a Zelda/Ico copyist, its actually a thing of its own and a truly wonderful thing at that. The final area and its events will stay with me for a long, long, time.
I'd give it my highest recommendation, dodgy framerate and all.

Wow this is great news, gonna download it right now.
I fucking loved this game. I guess I'm a sucker for this stuff.
Genuinely one of the most beautiful and touching games I've ever played. It's so poetic.
If that stuff speaks to you then you'll likely love it. It's not a game you can fairly measure in terms of gameplay mechanics or the ingenuity of its puzzles. It's much more than that.

Yeah I think I figured out the analogy early on. It's not that hard. I think there's a bit early on when you can dive to the bottom of a well and that's fairly revealing.

What got me was the "secret" ending, particularly I guess because it was so close to the that of a project I'd been planning years ago which was very similar in a bunch of ways. Not that I'm suggesting any influence, I had a themed outline, a structure, and a payoff sketched out lacking specific detail, I don't think I ever even pitched it directly, so more or less it was just some notes and an idea in my head.
I only mention it because it made me extra vigilant about nuances and details while playing the game, and I was really super-impressed by the way it got its ideas and emotions across economically and unobtrusively. Any budding indie designer could learn a ton from this game.
