Well this is handy. I saw this game pop up when it was released a couple days ago on Steam and thought to myself, "This looks really cool but I seen or heard nothing about this game until now. It'd be nice to see Vinny and Alex play it and see how it is. I wonder how I could request they take a look at it?"

The following day I saw it on the upcoming list.

Apparently I just need to will it to happen.

Thanks.

Didn't know there was a turn based element to this which makes me a lot more interested in it. I think graphically it's a little lacking but the action-puzzle element seems like it can be a lot of fun.

This looks pretty rad.

Edit: Also the music during the doctor chase and that final scene is great.

This seems really cool. I really enjoyed Gunpoint so it is cool to see another game do something similar to it but with its own unique style.

@nolan3d: Funny, I thought something very similar, "This looks like a game that Alex and Vinny would preview in a Quick Look. I wonder if that will ever happen?"

This looks rad as all Hell. Might have to give Gunpoint a look as well...

Also, that feeling when you think a game you like is not on any systems you have, but find out it totally is. Mmmmmmmmmmm!

I wasn't terribly excited by the gunpoint art, but now i see the actual mechanics of the game, it looks like a ton of fun.

This game looks super dope. I wasn't really interested in any of those Devolver Digital games they showed at Sony's press conference this year, but now I definitely need to at least get this.

This looks dope! I hope there's an Instant Replay that just replays everything in real time. That would be pretty cool!

You wouldn't think Austin was a recent addition, the rapport between these three is great.

The full release of Superhot will have realtime replays. I can't wait to see it! It'd be a perfect fit for this game too.

Austin Walker is surprisingly good at turn-based action, apparently.

This game does look really cool. But Gunpoint has the wiring mechanics where you can set up chain events that kill tons of dudes in one move. I want that.. I want more of that. Makes you feel smart and not just a crazy dude withe a sword.

This looks like Gunpoint with combat replacing the hacking. I should play gunpoint again. I mean, we all should.

Looks absolutely great and I'll definitely play it. The one question remaining is: when?, though, since I can't seem to find a release date for the PS4 version anywhere.
