Umm,the price of this game screams it wont be long. Im guessing 3-4 hours at best.

The combat looks interesting. I wonder how complex or not it can be.

I watched that extended gameplay video 2-3 times, it’s pretty relaxing

3-4 sounds good to me, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s longer

I’ll go day one if it’s short and sweet like Limbo or Inside

Maybe, I wouldn't want to assume though.

Short and sweet would be nice.I'm pretty sure I want this one.

The developers said “approximately 5 hours”

That said, will it be “digital download” only?

Or will it be available on disc for the PS4/PS5?

The only physical release listed so far is at Special Reserve Games.

Hmmmmm
PS5 only it seems

Plus I don’t even believe that it’s coming to physical for the 5

Holy crap, where are the reviews for this thing? Is there a dumb review embargo??!

I can’t believe theres an embargo on an independent, $19 game.

I don’t know why, but it bothers me

Hahaha

It is indeed silly, but there was one for Kena as well. That fact actually made people a bit nervous about Kena, but obviously the game ended up being just fine.

The reviews are good as expected. the game is 4-6 hours long, which is great. bring back the 5 hours indies of the ps3/360 days

They’re good. 74 average on Metacritic … vs SiFu which is getting an 80 and is similar in that it’s a short revenge fighter

I’m currently playing THAT and loving the hell out of it- so I’ll play this next

[eiknarf]

Hmmmmm
I started it now, aaaaaand….. it’s cute. A little disappointing (especially after finishing SiFu thirty minutes prior)

Gonna play the rest later… or tomorrow

I just wasn’t “WOW’d” enough by the actual gameplay/fighting - but I know it’s not supposed to be a “balls-to-the-walls” fighting game. More like a tribute-to-the-genre-film” game

Sifu 9/10
Trek to Yomi 6/10

So the physical version on that site is for September. Not sure I want to wait that long lol.

Sounds about right. This is supposed to be decent, nothing more, especially with some places saying it's even shorter than 4-6 hours (one said 2 or 3 hours). I was looking forward to it, but considering it's nothing great and is very short, I'll play this on my Series X via Game Pass if I get the urge to still play it someday. No way am I spending $20 on a game that short.

I look forward to trying Sifu someday now that they've added an Easy difficulty level though.

Maybe after playing through the game a few times, but you aren’t beating this game that quick the first time. And if you’re someone who goes for platinums/100% completions in games, you’re definitely not beating this in 2 - 3 hrs. It took me 9 hrs to beat the game on Ronin (hard) which was my first playthrough. There’s a ton of collectibles to find too.

I’ll use the Resident Evil games as an example. You can beat those in 2-3 hrs too, but it’s going to take you multiple runs before you can. This game is similar in that aspect.

I really think its doable to beat this game in 3-4 hours tops on easy mode. Ive only played the 1st hour on easy,im at 30 percent complete.
