Will wait until reviews. The development of this game was sketchy at some point. But the Edge score makes me optimistic.

I hear the game has collectibles, so that might help lengthen the game more.
I didn't get on with The Witness either, but I think the only similarities here are art style. Much more gamey interaction going on here, and puzzles that won't kill your brain.
I don't know about direct combat but I saw a video where it looks like
you outrun an enemy.

I guess you can't die in the game, or is there any sort of health bar. Its okay, think its suppose to be more of an atmospheric type game.

Thank god it's not like The Witness at all.
on the one hand I want to wait for switch for convenient gaming, plus it allows the launch phase to finish so impressions will have calmed down.
On the other hand, I've been anticipating this since the original reveal, and that Edge review makes me want it a lot. and as its relatively short I can get enough time on the TV for that.
Probably going to get it on PS4 for that reason - when is it out?

The 26th, yeah, weird day cause its a Friday. New games usually come out on Tuesday.

Its coming to PC too? If its a good game I'd double dip, maybe triple dip when I get a switch sometime in the distant future.

Also very stoked, OP - but the OT will be going up in the next 24-48 hours
Folks, it's still got a pre-release discount of 10% on PSN (not sure about steam, other platforms)
XBL and Steam have the same discount pre-release.
Yeah I'm not sure. Did you see the same video? I only watched a second of it, I didn't want to get spoiled.
The story of RiME is told through visual queues in-game. If you spend the time to discover all of the mysteries hidden on The Island you'll be given more about the story.

I shall, thanks! Is there a map system or anything?
Nope!

I hadn't been paying this game any attention until very recently, but I love the art style and the music seems awesome to boot. Definitely going to keep an eye on reviews and if it gets looked upon relatively favourably, I'm in.

how much worse is the switch ver compared to ps4?
We're still optimizing RiME for the Switch version. We will be able to share the specifics of the performance on Switch as soon as we have that information available.

I don't really know what the actual gameplay is like, but I'm all over these types of games so will likely give it a shot regardless. I did hear that it was originally meant to be open world but transitioned to a level-based structure which I'm not too keen on, after The Witness I really want more puzzle/exploration games that use an open world structure.
We still don't know if this is more like The Witness or more like Journey, it's been compared to both. I'd love to know what that Edge review actually said about the game.
Looks like 30-40 fps based off dev comments. Which is weird.

thank you. i'd love to get this for the switch but if it's much better on the ps4, i'd opt for that instead.

Odd, I'll wait for the DF analysis I guess.

Waiting for the Switch version. Haven't looked much into it but I'm excited.
Eh......hmm......
It's puzzling that it's this close to release and yet I still have seen or heard so little about what you actually do moment to moment. I saw the brief IGN intro but that was so early on that it didn't look especially challenging or interesting. I say this all as someone who really wants this to be good, haha.

Do we even have Switch specific screenshots? Those look like they are ripped from the re reveal trailer from 4 months ago. Not quite sure why they would look different as only one trailer was released.

Are we sure those are different console version shots? It looks more like older build versus final build, given how the architecture and tree seem to be more detailed on the right side
They're not direct console comparison pics of the final release. They were taken from trailers. I found the source of the pic on reddit, with this explanation:
He also said in another comment, "For all we know the lighting in the PS4 trailer may have changed in the final product and is similar to how the Switch version looks like."

It is also one of the finest examples of environmental storytelling
I've finished the game already and didn't found everything during my first playthrough and i've looked every nook and cranny btw. You guys hidden this stuff pretty well I must say (^_^)
