Still good scores. I'd give it a 8/10 so not far off

you'd hope they already have something else going on in parallel.
not sure ms will give them another 5years to deliver another dud.
this has "bomb" written all over it.

What time is it?
Doublefine has never set the sales world on fire so you have to wonder why Microsoft acquired them in the first place.
df was among earlier buys, before they went publisher swallowing mode.
more of a prestige buy at that time I'd guess.
i agree they don't really fit well with the current "show results or die" approach ms taking towards gaming.
thats why this bombing after 4 years of development will not go well. they closed studios for less.

Tend to agree with this, something akin to Media Molecule and Sony. But like you mentioned, the ActiBlizzKing acquisition has changed a lot. Double Fine Productions has delivered the perfect game if they were hoping to get shuttered, though I do think they could be sold to someone else (maybe Sony or someone like Devolver Digital). And I say all this as someone who is looking forward to playing Keeper.

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
Microsoft execs already discussing closing Double Fine.

Played for about 20 minutes and I have walked around a set path and moved the light from the lighthouse around. Riveting stuff... It looks stunning though (on PC).

This game reminds me of REZ for amazing use of visuals matched perfectly to the music

I really have no idea what the fuck Microsoft execs even want these days.
I don't even think they do anymore.
Maybe how can they leverage their building AI sector with the gaming and raise the stock price before the next corporate/investor trend comes in.

Well it's UE5 with Lumen and Nanite. Later levels actually look really good but the game is so heavy i have to run it with DLSS and FG on my 4090 to get high FPS

Insane visuals and great HDR. This game is not fun to play though unfortunately imo.

To all the people complaining about a lack of variety in the gaming Market, I don't mean small indie games, this is a game that you should try to support. Not simply because it's unique, but it also is getting good reviews.
I played it myself and it's actually a really great game.

It is a nice change of pace that doesn't take very long to play. I finished it in 7 hours. Could have been even shorter but the padded out the end section a bit too much. Minor gripe tho for a really good game.
