I’ll sit this one out.
Visually, it's one of my favorite game, definitely evoking the Wind Waker vibe I love, creating a cute, playful energy.
The music, my god the music.
It's so pleasent and happy, and perfect for studying it reading.
The gameplay is great for me, as I am a big collectathon guy, and Niko controls like a dream.
I haven't beaten the whole game, and this haven't experienced the whole story, but thus far, it seems a lot deeper than I thought, without any spoilers.
Easily a new favorite of mine. Check this game the hell out
speedrunners: is that a challenge
hehe young enby :3
- Most importantly, you keep talking about A Hat in Time like this game is made by the A Hat in Time team. It is not. Gears for Breakfast is merely the publisher of this game, and the dev team who made the game is Frog Vibes from the Netherlands. From what I can tell this is their first game. Those looking for a polished product like A Hat and Time is today (after many version updates and patches) will be disappointed.
- You mention that the game is coming out for Steam and Switch, but viewers should know that the Steam release is today (Aug 3), but the Switch release is coming "soon after" this Steam release. We still have no Switch release date.
- I'm baffled by your comment that the game's $25 price is "about what you should be expecting to pay for indie games bare minimum these days". Do you buy many indie games? I've bought so many indies for Steam and Switch in the last few years, love to support indie devs, and follow indie sites all over the web -- but I am very surprised by this $25 price. Similar games usually sell for $15-20 or less, and out of the several hundred indie games I've bought that are similar in scope to Here Comes Niko!, I would say I've paid $25 or above for only five or ten of them. For me, $25 is the bare maximum that we should expect to pay for such games when they are digital-only. (By the way, I would be happy to pay $30-35 for this game on a physical Switch cartridge.)
Some goty-level indies like Dead Cells or Hades open digitally for $25, but Here Comes Niko does not seem like a goty-level indie (though I really want to play haha!). Foregone opened at $30, immediately realized their mistake because no-one was buying at that price point, so in less than three months their standard price (not sale price) was reduced to $20 ... plus occasional sales. A Hat in Time has managed to do well priced at $30 (with very frequent $15-$18 sales, which is when most of us bought it), but they are the exception to the rule. I imagine that publishers Gears for Breakfast encouraged this high price-point, and are already planning the same kind of frequent $15-18 sales. I don't encourage people to pay $25 and up for overpriced digital-only indie games, when there are so many great games out there to play. I really want to play Here Comes Niko! But if I can be patient, I am going to wait for Switch, and wait for the first sale price at $20 or less.
