The art looks so good, the gameplay will have to involve rusty nails being driven through my fingers for me to not enjoy this.

Another game everyone keeps fawning over. The art does nothing for me and the gameplay I've heard described sounds boring. To each their own I guess.

Yeah, it reminds me of a Limbo, but beautiful and bright.

Pretty much. The game itself could be a complete dud, and I'd probably still not regret plunking down money on it, if only to support the idea of more games done in this kind of style.

I hope I get my repaired Xbox One before April 30th (Microsoft claims that I should be getting it soon despite the fact that even though it "Shipped" Fedex has no record of receiving it).

Couldn't have said it better, I'm really digging the way this looks.

Honestly, to me, looking like a 'sketchbook' is not a positive thing. It's like saying that the artwork is unfinished/unpolished.

Looks pretty. Hope the gameplay isn't super simplified like Costume Quest or Stick of Truth.

The art is still top notch, but they really should start showing more of the combat.

The art style is pretty amazing. I wonder how it will run on the 360.

There's a very brief shot of the combat in the CÅ“ur de pirate video.

Such a gorgeous game, but not something I'd probably play at launch.

This Ubiart engine is great for beautiful looking games... even if Rayman didn't become the commercial success it should've been I'm glad they're still going to use that engine for these smaller arty games.

I think a lot of people will be surprised when they see the time-turn-based combat. Hopefully that doesn't turn people away from this game as recently I've been pleasantly surprised by turn-based games when I wouldn't have given them a second glance a few years ago.

@danlongman: Nope, it bugged me throughout the whole trailer.
