Absolute gem that’s worth every penny.
You don’t want to spoil any of it since it’s truly ever experienced only once.
I only wish I could play it fresh again.
I am genuinely envious of every person who is about to get to experience that game for the first time.
I’m just here to enjoy all the new content and memes they hopefully make. I bet a bunch of my switch-only youtubers make some awesome videos about it
People said this over and over so I picked up the game a year ago on sale. I can’t say I like the “twist”. It just filled me with dread and anxiety, >!especially the sun changing color and getting bigger,!< without explaining anything.
I stopped after 4 hours and haven’t gone back.
So, yeah… As other comments have pointed out, figuring out why that is happening is the point of the game.
But also, yes, there’s going to be a lot more dread and anxiety. This is a much darker and more serious game than the art style implies. It contains some of the most effective moments of pure horror I’ve ever seen in a game. The ending, especially, is profoundly sad, and beautifully hopeful; an absolute rollercoaster of emotions.
If that’s more intensity of feels than you’re looking for from your entertainment, it’s probably not your thing.
If you don’t mind spoiling yourself and want to see what the fuss is about, this video is a pretty powerful summary of why people care about this game so much - https://youtu.be/Hr6WGu3omUI?si=qag5GchJp11Qk6Q3 (cw: frank discussion of a family member dying of cancer).
Edit: This video - https://youtu.be/Ga-oMRAcWCY?si=sHDjzJJhHyTqqwS6 - is a more direct summary of the game if you just want a compressed play through.
!It’s explained in the museum at the start!<
One of the best games ever made. Not sure if Switch is going to be the best way to experience it, but as long as it works properly and runs well enough it’s a must-play in my books.
As long as the team that’s porting it does a good job it shouldn’t be any different than any other way to experience it.
Get ready for an existential crisis on the go
I wanna love this game so much. Have tried multiple times. But every time I am stopped by my horrendous Thalassophobia on Giant’s Deep and Dark Bramble. And honestly just everywhere. such a shame, it seems so good.
Can’t blame you on Dark Bramble that shit’s terrifying
I mean, fair play. I don’t even experience thalassophobia and those two sections were absolutely terrifying.
Maybe look up a lets play and skip through those parts so you can experience the rest of the game, because God damn it is something.
Unfortunately, beating the game requires going through dark bramble.
I know there’s a mod that can get rid of basically everything scary for the dark bramble. There’s possibly one that modifies giants deep too.
Also if you don’t mind a minor spoiler for the content of giants deep:

There isn’t anything that can actually harm you under the water. The only creatures I remember are jellyfish and they don’t really acknowledge you (no leviathans or anything alla Subnautica)
I have been waiting for this for a long time. Been compulsively checking the release every few months ever since my brother showed me the game on his PS. I mainly game on switch these days (rarely steam) so I am pumped!
