That YouTuber looks like the Japanese Greg Miller lol.

I could have sworn there was already a thread for this game but I couldn't find it for the life of me so created this one.

With how bad this looks it was the first time I was left thinking even Bugsnax would have been better to showcase over something.

I saw this on best buy .com awhile back, and it's clearly a kid's game based on the marketing strategy they're going for with the trailer and all, IMO.

That tornado wolf looks a bit like the Tazmanian Devil...

Regardless of the pedigree this game is not even on my radar, but I hope games like this and Bugsnax find appeal with whatever their target audiences are.

Games like this and Bugsnax will probably be among the first PS5 PS Plus freebies.

I watched that first trailer again, and the gameplay platforming doesn't look bad at all. The marketing and voice over narrator though is what suggests that it's geared for a younger audience.

Then again, lots of grown ups play the Mario games, so it's an open book for gamers to play whatever they like regardless of the intended audience.

I'm looking forward to playing Astro's Playroom, and that looks like a kid's game.

Yuji Naka has revealed he was removed as game director 6 months out from launch and filed a lawsuit against Square Enix, which has now concluded. According to him, he knew the game was going to launch in an unfinished state, and criticizes SE and the developer Arzest for releasing it anyway - "I think Square Enix and Arzest are companies that do not care about games and game fans."

Thanks for the details.

I played the demo if I remember right, and while I was impressed by the CGI trailer visuals, the actual game looked like a PS3 game and was very underwhelming for a demo. If I'm thinking of the right game, the human character could turn into different creatures to deal with the enemies, but you were stuck in very limited box areas and had to open up the next box section across a bridge or something. Not my style of game normally anyway.
