Topic: The All-Encompassing Indie Thread

I think I'll pass. I'm somehow not really interested in the game. Not sure why, lacks character ironically.. I don't know. I'm sure someone else will get more enjoyment out of it!

No worries guys If I don't get any interest here today, I'll take it to Twitter. Don't want to derail the thread.

It sounds like Soul Saga and Earthlock: Festival of Magic might get delayed PS3 releases!
So there's still hope for us stragglers who don't have a PS4 or Vita to play those games on a Sony platform!

@Quintumply: You can try posting here as well

@Tasuki: Thanks, will do

It's beautiful, it's pretty and guess who's buying this game asap? Anyone else picking up ABZÛ as well today?

It does looks pretty amazing but I'm still a bit wrapped up in some other games, and with NMS and Deus Ex on the horizon this will probably need to wait until September..

It's abzulutely beautiful

I don't understand why there's water underwater though..

@Octane: I liked that in Journey, you couldn't really tell if you were underwater or not in the underwater sections

The indies (well, technically not indies..) continue with at least two more coming next week. The hopefully-promising-but-probably-more-of-the-same sequel to Grow Home from Ubisoft; Grow Up

And the mysterious and rather weird ''ballet''-platformer Bound from Plastic Studios

Both are coming next Tuesday; August 16. Grow Up will set you back a measly $9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99, whilst Bound will be double that price, $19,99 / €19.99.

Very intrigued by Grow Up. I had a really good time with Grow Home, but the sequel will need a few fresh ideas I think. Not long now

Grow Up looks awesome, Grow Home was easily one of my favourite games from last year. Hopefully it'll add some more though

@Quintumply @Anchorsam_9 It wouldn't hurt if they included some other means of getting around. Climbing was fun, but it got really tedious near the end. And maybe something to track you collectibles and their locations..

I've played the first part of Grow Up, and it's so much better than Grow Home. Controls are still tedious and cumbersome, but the world is miles better; the new abilities and even the optional challenges are a good addition. I'm sure this game will take a lot longer to finish than Grow Home. It's a pretty meaty experience.

I really like how this is a proper sequel and not just more of the same. Maybe I'll post some screenshots tomorrow. There's a lot more wildlife too, and some of the bugs make the weirdest sounds.

Armikrog is hitting the Wii U next Tuesday! Who's going to be downloading the game at launch?

Just 100% completed Grow Up; that took way longer than I expected. I must've been looking around for that last crystal for ages. The game's a definite improvement over its prequel. But after spending that much time with the game; I still think that the controls get tedious and cumbersome after a while. At least they provide good means of getting around in this game.

Everyone needs videoball.

This has promise. CLAIRE. Anyone try this game?

Just played some Inside and Hyper Light Drifter, and I love both. Hyper Light Drifter in particular. The framerate was a little janky but maybe that's just the X1 version (quit buying games on PS4 since my 2tb are completely maxed out of space- exclusives only now going forward).

There's also an indie coming to Wii U this Thursday and PS4/X1 on Friday called Jotun: Valhalla Edition and it looks amazing. IGN gave PC version an 8/10

@JaxonH: Hyper Light Drifter is brilliant, but it has some issues on the technical side. I can't recall any frame drops, but I encountered some minor glitches. Nothing game-breaking, but issues like wrong sprites being displayed and such. It's one of the better indies this year, but I really wish they patched up some of the issues. Still an amazing game though.
