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

      @RyanMSwartz 2 роки тому +4

      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.

    • @Nyt250
      @Nyt250 2 роки тому

      @@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

      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).
