    ...and I haven't heard a single word about it.
     
    Bad news inbound I guess?

    It just got 7.0 (Good) at GameSpot.
    "Simplistic combat and tedious backtracking don't fully diminish the pleasures of this attractive and festive fable."
     
    The Good
    * Lots of great environmental puzzles
    * Lovely visuals and music
    * Fun, interesting boss battles
     
    The Bad
    * Backtracking gets monotonous
    * Shallow action
    * Central relationship never deepens
     
    I for one am a bit disappointed, as the game looked like something worthy of Team Ico at one point. However, it seems it also got a B (best is A I think) from 1UP and a 8/10 from Game Informer. So might still be worth checking out I suppose.

    I thought it looked great in the videos, but the demo really put me off.

    Gameplay wasn't much fun and the lack of anti-aliasing really ruined the charm, the game just looks bad.

     

    In fairness though, I think it might have been more enjoyable playing from the start.  I don't think it was a very good demo.

    Sounds pretty good. Is a game I'll want to check out when it gets a bit cheaper. I remember seeing the announcement trailer. Wasn't half bad... didn't know there was a demo out though!

    This game is surprisingly awesome, I am nearing the end and will post a review after that but it is a really solid game adventure game with inspirations from Ico, Metroid, and Zelda.

    It looked pretty good. Hopefully it does well for them. I think releasing at $40 ($50?) is good for them.

     Digging through Amazon's cyber monday deals, I noticed the xbox 360 version of this is $22.99 today if anyone was interested.

    It's very enjoyable and charming. If it intrigues you in the slighest give it a try.

    I'm eventually going to get this game, but I've got a bunch of other stuff to get through first.  I just picked up a copy of Red Dead over the weekend so my priorities are studying for exams and hopefully squeezing in an hour of game time each day.
