Announcement trailer:

I remember when this was announced it was either exclusive to Microsoft or launch exclusive. Glad to see its coming to PS4.

I had a feeling a third party game like this would come to PlayStation. They always do...

Suntory_Times · 08-17-2017, 06:57 AM

The game was in early access and the equivalent on xbox. AFAIK outside of ftp games, sony doesn't allow such things on there platform (which imho is a good thing).

This game looks really interesting and is out soon. Does anyone know if it's open world or not? I hope reviews are good.

According to the trailer above, it's open world single player, which has my attention. The first person view isn't as fun as 3rd person, but it still looks promising.

Cool thanks for the confirmation Zivouhr, I'm really interested in this one!

Blu-Curry · 07-26-2018, 03:32 AM

Cool, I never saw that trailer before. I'm hoping the reviews are good; this game has a very cool and unnerving feel to it's content and gameplay. A lot of people made comparisons to Bioshock, and that's not a bad thing at all.

It was on xbox as part of the preview program. MS just bought this developer so this will be their last PS4 game.

Zivouhr · 07-26-2018, 02:46 PM

Cool. Yeah, the game has impressive art style to it. Looks like the city could be open world to explore and then that field with the trees, and so on. There are also side quests from the trailer, and it looks like reality is often altered, changing color and so on.

Here's a developer look at the environments.

i007spectre · 07-26-2018, 04:16 PM

It won't matter, but it would be funny if the PS4 version of the games really outsold the Xbox version.

I was thinking the same thing

there are millions more PS4s out there, but we'll see I guess lol.

levcore · 08-07-2018, 12:51 PM

This is out on Friday here in the UK. I hope reviews are good.

levcore · 08-10-2018, 11:28 AM

Reviews seem generally solid for this. I can't pick it up straight away though as I already have so many games to work through.

Currently a 66 on Metacritic (PC). I'm not sure I would consider that "solid."

levcore · 08-13-2018, 06:55 AM

Meh it's above average, that's solid enough for me.

levcore · 07-05-2019, 07:10 AM

Got this for my birthday, played a few hours so far. I'm enjoying it a lot, with the unique game world and quirky design work being the most appealing factor. It feels like quite a fresh experience in many ways as I've not experienced a game quite like it.

So far the game it seems to remind me most of, and this is going back a good while, is Normality from the 90's. I don't know how many remember that one.

Zivouhr · 07-05-2019, 12:40 PM

Happy Birthday, Levcore. Glad you're enjoying it so far!

I was considering this game when I first heard about it, but the puzzle solving stuff I'm getting too much of on the PSVR at the moment, so that's one reason I stayed away.

Thanks Zivouhr! I haven't faced too much in the way of puzzles yet, i really hate puzzles in games so i hope there won't be too many of those.
