Looks like there will be a Switch port later this year! Yay.

I finally finished the expansion. HowLongToBeat.com listed it at around 10 hours, but it took me easily double that. I don't know if it was just that much more difficult or if my brain was tired from the main game, but I found it to be much more of a slog and almost gave up a couple times. Instead I looked for hints once or twice, and they helped me move forward, but without spoiling anything I'll say that as beautiful and mysterious as it was, the new content didn't do as good a job of giving me specific goals, so I spent too much time flailing around, hoping I'd stumble across the right thing. There was also a new stealth mechanic that was equal parts thrilling and tedious.
ALL THAT SAID, my problems were probably just me being dumb, and there were still so many moments of awe and wonder that I can't help but recommend it. And the way it ties in to the main story is brilliant.

Just now started playing this gem. When I was young, I very soon understood that games could be anything, and that the possibility space of creative, unique ideas was astronomical. Just that for some reason it wasn't being explored that much. But now this here game is a brave voyage deep into that space!
I was just talking with Gabbro and watched an island float by, only moments later to be thrown into the air by a cyclone. Yes, the entire island. Gabbro had seen that so many times before that he didn't even bat an eye, just kept playing his instrument.

I feel bad I never finished this. I took too long a break and now there's just too much stuff to get re-aquinted with if I wanna play it again. I should restart it at some point and try to make it all the way through.
I think I was more impressed than engrossed by this game. The main mystery never really got its hooks in me.

I picked it up during the sales after all the hype (and this thread) made me excited. I played it for like maybe an hour and realized it's a big puzzle game full of many small puzzles
I hate puzzle games :(

I think it's a little bit reductionist to call it a big puzzle full of small puzzles, especially since most of your time in-game is spent exploring, not solving puzzles, but yes, I suppose if you have a strict stance on avoiding all puzzles in games, then this is not the game for you.

And also this game has more than just exploration and puzzles. It has a solar system with an interesting story splintered all across its planets and their moons. It has that eager creativity you used to see in games like Star Control II. Actually come to think of it, this game reminds me of that game quite a bit, world- and humor-wise. And in a muffled way, there's some potent Myst in there too :wot:

I just beat it and the expansion. My final opinion now that I've seen it all through?
I'd say it rates up there among my favorite games of all time.

That's my guy. Good to have you back, Renz.
