How in the hell did I miss this kickstarter?!? This has been such a f'ing amazing game! I'm near full game completion and just went and picked up one of the 4000 kickstarter CE's via ebay. I have had such a blast with this and can't wait for the new dlc!

I've been staying up till 2-4am the past few days playing. This is definitely one of those games that I just can't put down. If you haven't played yet, make it a priority!

This game absolutely makes it into my top 25!

I'm pretty sure I've seen it.... Or maybe it was a plushie that had a code. I know I've seen a plushie at Best Buy awhile ago that was for Switch.

Yah, that's what I bought. Physical box for the plush that had a code.

They did just recently announce physical versions for the PS4, Switch and PC. Thankfully it's not fudging Limited Rape Games.

I got bored after 15 minutes, but then again, platformers like Mega Man have never really entertained me.

Why $107? I'm seeing $64-$69 or something...

Maybe a collector's and regular edition?

I put about 40 hours into it myself. Still, need to go beat the final boss but I was trying to get the void heart. I will probably get just the regular edition. I want the CE but I have put a lot of money into Hollow Knight merc already.

Hollow Knight merc? Short for merchandise or something cool that I missed?

I’m not sure what all I’ve got left besides the fights with Grimm, Traitor Lord, Hollow Knight, and the 3rd stage of the coliseum but I got frustrated a few weeks ago and stopped playing.

I need to pick it back up and get everything finished.

I think all I had left was Nightmare Grimm. Not sure it's worth the headache to go back now.

The coliseum was a damn blast, frustrating, but loved it.

Anyone play Owlboy? I've read good things...and there is a physical copy (and limited edition) at Best Buy. Seems to be fully stocked often...

Because I didn't have a big enough back log already ... gdamnit. This looks pretty cool.

Limited Edition is available for PS4, looks like Switch doesn't even have a listing.

I got it on eshop for 15 and am a few hours in but here's my impressions

Graphics are good
Music is good
Story/characters/world is interesting

I guess my biggest beef is that the controls don't feel fluid or responsive at ALL...and this is a platformer. Maybe it gets better? I dunno

I picked up Ori and Owlboy. Have most of tomorrow free for my bday and planning on dusting off the Xbox for the first time in a couple years to play Ori first!

Just got 100% on Ori in two sittings. Fantastic game, loved the art style!

Onto Owl Boy soon!

Decided to replay this on ps5 with the ps+ collection. What a fantastic game all over again. Feels like I'm flying through this time as I am remembering quite a bit from two years ago.

Why is Silk Song not yet out?!

Probably cause of Covid. They never really gave any sort of release date, right?

I don't think they ever gave any type of date sadly.

I feel like I'm enjoying this more on PS5 with the dual shock over the Pro controller on Switch.

Absolutely one of my all time favorite games.

I first played it on PS4. I've thought about getting it on Switch. Silk Song I think is only slated for PC/Switch

I love this game as well, epic games gave it free and liked what I played but really got into it this month since it was on PS Plus.

Back to back White Palace and Grim Troupe, first shots. I really wish they would have released more difficult DLC.

Prior play through, I do remember giving up on Nightmare Grimme but pretty sure it'll be way easier this time.

Wow, third trial of Colleseum... First shot! I remember this taking me a few days. I think it's easier with the dual shock TBH.

The JoyCons on the Switch in handheld mode aren't very good for games like this. It's just not very good.

Well that's good. Maybe it's just that you beat it before? Games always seem to be easier the second time.

Yah, more than likely. Which is a bit unfortunate. I'm almost completely done (everything) and less than 30 hours; whereas, original play was 50 hours!

If I ever re play it, it'll be on Switch since my first was on PS4.
