Wonder if it'll be considered for GOTY...

With a 90 it might get token nominations but I wouldn't expect it to get serious consideration. You need to be closer to 94-95 to win those type of awards unless it's a down year.

Game looks fun. I don't like the art direction though - something about it looks tech demo-ish to me. Nonetheless, game looks super fun

Yeah the art style is really what's bothering me. I guess it's better than I anticipated though, a 90 is pretty good. I'll still have to try it out as the art style and aimlessness of the previews threw me off besides the first reveal.

Knack looks better visually than Donkey Kong imo

Now I want to play that game(Knack 2, not the first one lol.)

I think you can make that argument for environment design. Overall, I see tech demo vibes all over both

I think the very first previews they did without pauline were kinda dry/limited but the newer gameplay reveals showed a lot more promise in regards to the overall platforming and gameplay. The early demos felt like that first area in Breath of the Wild

I want this to win GOTY and see everyone turn into Frieza.

Should I try to wake up early tomorrow and cop a Switch 2 from Best Buy since they are supposed to be in stock

Perfect timing as I'm sick of playing NCAA already.

 

[SCJoe]

They are saying this is one of those ones, preordered the hell out of it
