16 years down and two days to go! Reviews are appearing today and it sounds like it's a worthy successor at least. And thanks to Double Fine's assimilation it's on Game Pass too. |

Hope they will have a summary of Rhombus of Ruin for those who missed it.

I had planned to play through the original again before this came out but, alas, time got the better of me. Hoping there is a decent plot/story summary out there somewhere to refresh my memory. |

Really looking forward to this!

Did not think this would turn out well, and I'd completely forgotten about it anyway. Suddenly have a game I'm very much looking forward to playing \o/

Surprised by those scores... Thought it'd be 7/10 material from what's been shown already so it just pretty much fell off my radar.
Happy days. Can't say no to the price too!

Hope they will have a summary of Rhombus of Ruin for those who missed it. This is my situation too. I replayed the first one a couple of months ago as a refresh ready for the sequel but don't have VR so couldn't play Rhombus. Hopefully it is either recapped or not too important. I will be playing his one on Gamepass. |

I kickstarted this (on Fig) and they say “ Tomorrow, starting at 10am PST, emails will start to go out with info on how to get and redeem your codes.” PC version through Humble though, I’ll have to see if I still have a login for that.

I had low expectations of this. I generally enjoy double fine games but any trailer of this I felt meh about. So happy with these review scores. |

Nice video from Tim that was in the email to backers yesterday:
I had to log in to Fig to check what I had actually backed, nice surprise to see I was obviously feeling flush back in 2016 and went for the $400 tier! So I'll receive a collectors "big box" physical edition signed by Tim, that's really cool. |

Stoked for this. My to play pile has gone from totally uninspired and empty to overflowing.
I need a week or two of “working from home” to catch up

Didn't realise the first one was available, so will do that again - never finished it as my Xbox got nicked.
It's aged not too badly.

Is this on Gamepass?
And as a MS developed game does that mean it will stay on Gamepass indefinitely? (If the answer was yes to the first question).
/Still not committed to buying a Series X yet but it gets more tempting everyday.
