@@alkindi5647 (at least the first 8 hours) of starfield is dry AF... its a bit like the start of mass effect 1 but without any of the tension, epicness, or fun :) Playing this was a great palet cleanser
Finally. A good 3D Sonic game.

The sad part is the next sonic game will most likely end up being a worse version of this.

The artstyle reminds me of Furi somehow (another brilliant game imo). Can't wait to try this out.

Reminds me more of Haven, from the same studio as Furi.

There was some drama about Furi copying Hyper Light Drifter's art direction many years back. I don't know how much truth there was to it, but there are similar character proportions, styling, and especially color palettes in both. This is the followup to HLD, so it makes sense that it would also look quite similar. All great games, IMO.

@@RyanMSwartz Isn't HLD much more pixelated and pokemon-style? Regardless I agree they're all good games and i think everyone can benefit if games copy good features and styles from each other, as long as they improve on it themselves

Someone mentions FURI. Me: Respect.
you had me at "from the guys who made hyper light drifter"
I think this is the first time I ever heard any compliment towards sunset overdrive
Yo! I was right on the money with my first guess about this title, Jetset Radio mixed with Shadow of the Colossus.
No Switch Release?? Damn, i feel like this game would be _perfect_ for that console

Sony paid for timed-console-exclusivity for this game. So after several months to a year, once that contract is up... the developers will most likely release it on Xbox (& possibly Nintendo Switch, if a port is do-able for that system).

I still hope for a Switch release. I really loved HLD, so I can't really wait to play this.
Hey so Marty got this. About as curious as I was if this turned out any good I was also curious to see who at The Escapist would win the inevitable bout that must have ensued for who got to review this.
So whens it coming to steam? I just saw this on sale on PS and thought it looked really cool. Bummer that it cant be with the rest of my library on steam though since that's my preferred platform.
soon as I heard "heart machine" My own heart skipped a beat. i LOVED hyper light drifter. Can't wait to give this a go.
Annapurna is always top notch. I'm just sad I have to wait for it to launch on Steam
Amazing review and cool voice Marty! If scotch had a voice it would sound like you. I hope that someone at The Escapist come with a cool name for the genre of the Shadow of the Colossus inheritors.

Wow this game looks awesome! I'll have to try and check it out after I get through what I'm currently playing
Thank you for the review.
Thank you. Fantasic!
Marty! Id know that sultry voice anywhere
How long is the game?
You had me a Pathless-like.
So Sonic meets Shadow of the Colossus meets Hyper Light Drifter?
How long is it if you do everything?

He says "throughout the 6 hour adventure" so I'd guess 6 hours. Might wait for a sale if it's only 6 hours
Love love this game😊 it feels so smooth. When I start, I can’t stop playing it.
a comment to please our almighty overlord with engagement to feed the algorithm!
Just hit Steam today, FYI!
Reminds of the path, a game which I loveddd
Cool review! but showing the final area of the game in the review is not something many people appreciate.
Not sure if I want to wait for a sale or not for it. Six hours seems short, but could be worth it since the game looks absolutely gorgeous and is made by a smaller studio.

I definitely don't regret picking it up. It's super re-playable
It does look like our protagonist disappears easily as the camera pulls out for boss fights, they might need to fiddle with the skybox colours or the boss colours.

Yep, this game is much, much easier than HLD.
Looks great! I was really intrigued until i heard the last 3 words of the review T___T
Not anywhere near as good as Hyper Light Drifter, but a decent effort, I think. Hope their next game can be much better, now that they have their 3D engine in place.

This game is actually amazing but if you're looking for hyper light drifter like combat you're obviously gonna be Dissapointed.
Ah, so basically Sonic when it’s actually good. Got it.
Honestly kind of reminds of "Sonic and the Secret Rings" if anyone remembers it.
Can't fuckin wait
She is all the jedi. In all seriousness, this looks good! Shame about the epic exclusivity, though...
£40 for a six hour game?
Maybe don't show late game areas and bosses?
EPIC GAMES EXCLUSIVE💀
Looked pretty interesting until he said epic game store. Hard pass from me chief.
