There's a soundtrack available on Steam. Can we get that on GOG too please?

Nice looking game. I'll get it at a discount though.

high rated
Looks pretty cool, but another one of those games with a bunch of pretty screenshots that tell you nothing about the gameplay. The trailer is a little better, but based only on the screenshots and trailer I would have to assume that this game has no UI or HUD of any kind whatsoever. I understand devs and publishers want to show off a game's pretty visuals, but there really should be at least one screenshot that represents what we will actually be looking at while we play.

Anyway, it does look pretty fun. My computer can't run it, but I will keep it in mind for the future.

Get out of my brain and stop stealing my words!

Another souls-like?

I'll pass.

This has a very 'we have Dark Souls at home' vibe about it.

If this indeed a "Souls-like" game, then it's nice to see something different from the usual "nihilistic/post-apoc/decadent/grim n'gritty" aesthetic of almost all this type of games.

valve encourages devs not to show the ui if it's 'not a crucial part of the gameplay' or something to that effect. absolute idiocy, of course, but some devs put a few actual screenshots on the store page if asked at least. unfortunately, gog just lazily copies store pages, meaning screenshots can have demo or alpha markings and descriptions with steam references, so I doubt we'll see an improvement in general and on gog in particular. god forbid a store page was informative enough for costumers to make an informed decision.

You should play Asterigos, same deal.

It looks really nice, and yet I have a weird gut feeling I wouldn't like it. I can't exlpain why, but "my gamer sense is tingling".

Pretty sure this is not what "metroidvania" is supposed to mean though...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd forgotten that game exists (even though it's quite recent).
I'll keep an eye on it.
