Quick Look: Ape Out

Gorilla here, checking in

Go ape!

Ladies and gentlemen, your winner for 2019 Best STYYYYYYYYYLE.

Monkey business?

This looks awesome! I hope this comes out on PS4 too, I really want to play it.

I'm bananas for ape out

Yeah. I see myself playing this.

Best Styyyyyylllleeeee.

YES PLEASE

You can put Ape in the title but they'll still call you a monkey

I'd like to see that ape escape.

UPA is the style of animation that this draws most heavily from.

Early candidate for best style?

looks very Saul Bass

I've had some money in my steam wallet since last year. This seems like a good investement for that.

Man this game seems rad, coping it on switch

Extremely strong first impression on this one

Watched about 7 minutes and now going to stop and wait till I can play it

Not sure I will be playing this, but man those drums sound wonderful. Definitely get a Birdman sort of vibe.

I love a good Congo quote... "It is the city...of...ZINJ!"

well I just got this on Switch.

Ape Out Legends

This immediately went to the top of my steam list i will definitely purchase this when I can

What's with Giant Bomb calling apes monkeys?
Ape is even in the title of the game!

well yes, this just instantly sold this to me. thank you, this game wasnt even on my radar!

Yeah okay so this looks like a lot of fun. Sold.

Feel like while the presentation and style is great this wouldn't hold my attention for more than a few rounds...

It's Gorilla John Wick.

Like a few have said, this looks awesome but I don't know if it would hold my attention after 15-20 minutes. Those first 20 minutes look pretty nice though.

Gorillas aren't monkeys.

Someone on the design team definitely watched a lot of opening titles from 70s action movies.

This gives me motion sickness just watching it because of the camera shake whenever you murder some fool.

look I like Alex killing everything, but if your getting hit everytime you do it.

Maybe...just maybe don't?

Finally, a game for Warren from Life is Strange.

Absolutely amazing style. Thanks for showing this game, I have to pick it up now! <3

looks awesome

I'm sold

What this did to me was give me a huge itch to play some Hotline Miami.

A Gorilla is not a monkey, ya dang Ignants.

Ook.

So you're saying Ape Out is a Great Ape?

@skinnersweet: I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have the same issue with Devolver games, but it's especially bad with this one for some reason.

@fetterdave: As soon as I saw the level color change at 7:33 I thought the exact same thing.

This looks amazingly stylish, but kinda one note.

I didn't realize we had so many ape-ologists in the Giant Bomb community.

super cool!

@sessh: It's definitely one note, but I think that note sustains itself for the length of the game, which is not super long. It doesn't overstay its welcome.

@alex: You make a fair point. Guess I'll pick it up as a nice quick one on my Switch.

Everything about this game screams "Devolver Digital" and there is no higher compliment you can give to a game's style.
