Release trailer

Apparently the soundtrack is excellent too. I really enjoyed the playroom soundtrack so I’m hyped.

 

[Mobius 1]

Just done the first introductory level. Already can tell this is gonna be my goty.

 

[Mobius 1]

Whats the haptic feedback like, assuming it is just as good if not better than AP? Remember it felt really good in that game. Tempted to get this now after reading the reviews

Ashamedly I’ve got haptics turned off as the battery lasts longer… I should turn it back on !

The music is so good too!

Spoiler: First galaxy late level spoiler.

the ape escape level is so much fun! Music is great too ! I can see them bringing back this IP one day.

10-15 hours is ok. It’s not like there is a sprawling open world to explore - thank god.

 

[Mobius 1]

Honestly this fits the bill perfectly. I'm very much done with every game having to be absolutely massive

Yup. Large explorable worlds don’t always equate to quality.

This game may not be a massive free roam open world..but the quality is very much there.

 

[Mobius 1]

Man. This game can get a little tough in some levels!

Edit - green triangles

Spoiler: Fave level so far

has gotta be downsize surprise ! Just so good !

And trunk of funk. What a soundtrack

I've just bought this as I was looking for something different from Open World games and watching a few YouTube Videos it seems to be getting positive reviews. Like the mini game version that came with the PS5.

You won’t be disappointed! it’s my goty. Its amazing and a step up in every way possible compared to playroom.

This game's so good. The ultimate goal of each level's the same but the mechanics they provide to get you there couldn't be more different, makes every level feel unique.

Completed two Nebula so far and having an absolute blast, best game I've played in years.

Spoiler

As above, Downside Surprise is not only my favourite level so far, it could be one of the best levels of any game ever made.

Yes ! Such a fantastic level. On par if not better than Nintendo offerings.

Spoiler: Third galaxy spoiler

the dude raiding level is soooo good I won’t say anymore - when the music kicks in

 

[Mobius 1]

You can turn off the gyro and use the left stick instead if you wish to make it easier.

It’s fine. I’ve done all the challenge levels now (well.. just X left. Haven’t got to them yet)

 

[Mobius 1]

My only issue is, Do you need to keep replaying levels to get the 20 bots to advance?! I'm confused.

I collect the bots and puzzle pieces then move on to the next level.

 

[Mobius 1]

I can't do that. The last level is locked with a "20" on it.

I’m not sure. I’m only on the 4th galaxy.

 

[Mobius 1]

It sure can ratchet up the difficulty in the one off levels. I way too long on a square challenge.

Aye. Had a bit of trouble with splashing sprint, but got it in the end !

 

[Mobius 1]

I’m on the 4th galaxy and haven’t touched any of the secret warp levels yet. Saving them til last.

 

[Mobius 1]

On to the last galaxy now. And all the warp level to get through. Currently been playing 12 hours.

 

[Mobius 1]

I’ve put this down for the past week as I don’t want it to end on the final galaxy at the moment. Still haven’t touched the secret galaxy levels either.

 

[Mobius 1]

Time trials is coming in an update iirc

 

[Mobius 1]

The only level I’ve struggled on so far is that splash dash level. Took a few attempts to get it !

 

[Mobius 1]

This is getting such rave reviews but I'm sceptical at 16 hours quoted above Vs the cost is it worth it?

It’s well worth it. Honestly. It’s not too long, but doesn’t feel too short. Certainly beats padded out open world with nothing between point A and B
