Played through the demo for this and thought it wasn't bad. The tutorial sections are big highlights, which I think is smart design for a metroidvania. Enjoyed this overall more than Nine Sols, which I didn't like anywhere near as much as seemingly everyone did.
Biggest negative is that it uses Hollow Knight's map system, which was easily my least favorite part of that game.
I'm interested and I'll keep an eye out for gameplay on this, but holy hell is this name bad.
Fortunately, Silksong's never missed a release window before.
This looks sweet. Vibes of Startropics and something else I can't quite put my finger on.
Edit: I didn't even need 15 minutes with the demo. Outstanding stuff again from Yacht Club. Day 1 purchase for me.
Well, there are few modding scenes as robust as the FFT one, so maybe someone will put a nice package together.
Nothing out there is anywhere close to the quality of the Reborn soundtrack, though.
I can't believe they didn't orchestrate the soundtrack as they did for Tactics Ogre. That was the only thing I wanted out of this project. Ughhh.
All I can hope for at this point are that the new content and gameplay changes are positive.
Don't think I've come across anything on why they left. It did seem like the general vibe for a while was that 2K was done with XCOM, and they also didn't seem happy with the sales for Midnight Suns itself. Maybe the writing was on the wall for the team?
As much as I love Trails, I felt like each one of the Cold Steel games have a major pacing problem at some point. CS1's was damn near the whole game, ugh.
Reverie was a very refreshing change of pace on that front.
Would never have guessed Owlcat's new game would be in The Expanse universe, or that it would be an action RPG, for that matter.
I'm a huge fan of The Expanse so I'm going to check it out regardless, but I don't know how this is gonna go.
