The character in this game feels like the one you were seeing down the car window running through all obstacles of the roads

[@aIkaIi]

Wait what, did we all imagine a character jumping through street lamps and cars as we sat in the car? lol. I love this comment.

[@TheBlackSquirrel]

YOU TOO?!?!

[@ledusko]

Ahahah seems we all know him

[@traumwandeln]

Wow, i was not alone?! Nice.

[@fireballq2]

@@aIkaIi I thought it was just me!

[@liz9501]

I love that the water serves as just a normal way to traverse the world, instead of as a barrier, trial, or just speed bump almost like in a lot of other games. I also really like the art style, it kind of feels like the embodiment of the nintendo switch; a colorful and simplistic outer shell that holds a much deeper story and secrets below.

[@cam0x195]

It's called *wavetale*

[@oliver-04]

bro thinks its called Earthtale

[@TheTruth-13]

Good for you

[@maladroitcolors]

Ocean water

[@EthanHGray]

Never heard of Wind Waker or anything like that, of course.

[@x_Artius_x]

As someone who lost his mom at a young age I wasn’t ready for that ending. 100% buying this game.

[@lamolol5167]

God bless you, are you doing okay?

Im so sorry for your loss

[@JamVsJam.]

This actually looks really cool. And the OST sounds very beautiful. I could totally get into this game!

[@michaelbender1071]

Highly recommend, played it on Stadia

[@grymvon]

It's sound like Jaga Jazzist

[@gizmo123473]

This game looks pretty unique in terms of visuals and the gameplay seems like it would be pretty fun. Hopefully this game won't go too far under the radar and people will notice it.

[@FrSteveMarsh]

Honestly my first thought at the gameplay is that Sonic games should pay careful attention. It looks to me like some excellent execution of speedy-slidey platforming that looks very natural and interesting. Sonic games would obviously adapt it in their own way and not just be sliding but running, and probably also be faster. It just looked like both games have similar notions, but Wavetale, imo, executed the concept far more elegantly and naturally...

[@Cinetiste]

It is amusing ! I played it on Stadia and it has this playful approach you may feel by looking at it.

[@kaneofnod]

Unique? Ever heard of The Wind Waker?

[@primecalibur]

@@kaneofnod yeah I was gonna say, I feel like I've seen this style a million times now

[@kaneofnod]

@@primecalibur Exactly. It's called "cel-shading". Goes back to at least 1999 with the release of Jet Set Radio on Dreamcast.

[@Picy64]

This game looks gorgeous I hope it gets a physical release

[@erainmartinez8175]

I agree

[@denniscleary7580]

Not only does the game look beautiful but has an interesting story and I hope this gets a physical release

[@Velossitee]

Man I honestly wish games had more physical releases lately... everythings just digital now and not tangible. It scared me at first, got used to it, but things could go wrong ...

[@lonerboy18]

@@Velossitee right?, I simply do not have the space for digital games, plus Love looking at the box art for physical copies lol

[@denniscleary7580]

@@Velossitee couldn’t agree more, I never thought this day would happen so early in my life, figured I would be pushing more gray hairs by the time digital was more mainstreamed 😁

[@Cinetiste]

Agreed ! I always opt for a physical edition when there is one. I never buy a digital game before it lowers to a price way below and even sometimes renounce to a game if it has none. It may not be visible, but we are probably numerous to value and prefer real editions. We may ask the developpers for physical releases, we may opt for material editions as much as possible, playable offline, and avoid online games, because we must remember that at the end, this is determining in our only real ownership.

[@hrb9679]

@@Cinetiste Very true! Plus they just generally feel better to play. I went through a phase where I was playing a bunch of free-to-play games on my phone and then one day I picked up my DS and replayed an old game and OMG. The only money I had to use was currency farmed in game and the game wasn't making it crazy hard in an effort to pressure me into using real money just to enjoy myself! It was amazing!

[@zefellowbud5970]

This feels exactly like a dream i had a year ago It was vivid But the waters were so surreal

[@dovecult]

👀 I had the same thought when I watched this trailer.

[@zefellowbud5970]

@@dovecult how was yours like? For mine it was like you had an ocean in a world without gravity. I had gigantic sort of arches of water and various scraps of various machinery which i swam through.

[@g.r.4372]

Looks and sounds amazing. Did seem a bit short on length by the comments, but hopefully the devs make enough dough to fund a bigger project. From this trailer, it looks like talent meets heart. It has this big 2003 vibe when I'd rent Wind Waker and Sonic Adventure 2.

[@robwaters8848]

Wow! The most technically impressive Sonic game of the year!

[@rururu5630]

I was thinking that this looks like a Sonic game, but better because the character seems at home in the water and the combat looks better

[@Meimoons]

Yeah. Me too, but with different mechanics

[@Rafas216]

@@Meimoons sim... muito melhor do que Sonic.

[@Something-Waffle]

Not really. This looks like Wind Waker & Sonic Colors had a baby.

[@ottoxo]

I don’t see it

[@FunkySpaceAlien]

Glad this got out of Stadia! This game look very fun

[@godsstrongestschizo]

Is it good, though? Movement looks great, reminds me a little of the speed The Pathless or the new one from the HLD team.

[@jin2135]

stadia still exist? lmfaoo

[@DaSheepKiller]

@@jin2135 if it does, then not for long

[@carcerharlson9767]

What is stadia?

[@splatty-agent1066]

This game looks gorgeous, maybe I'll give it a shot

[@Lexington89]

Loved the OST for this trailer, can't wait to check out the rest of the score. Love the heavy 3D Sonic games influence. Hope I get enough money to buy it soon, I want to get lost in this game.

@@wrngsurgeon Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my friend. I don't know why you want to know but I couldn't buy it. Had to buy the Christmas gift for my son 😅

[@Lexington89]

@@wrngsurgeon aw, that's so nice of you, you don't have to bother. And, no, the only way would be to give the download code, bought through a 3rd party. OR give the code for a gift card. I would be lying if I said that I don't want the game, cause I do, lol, but I also don't want to bother you and make you jump hoops to get me the game :(

[@VeritabIlIti]

The trailer makes this look like what Sonic team wishes they could do with 3D Sonic games. Looks fun!

[@vodkaffee4856]

cell shading art will never die ;3

[@tb3411]

That's because it ages better visually than attempts at looking realistic

[@PokeBallerLuke]

looks awesome, officially added to my eshop wishlist!

[@Rehapster]

Only played a bit of it until now. The movement is a ton of fun very fluid. Cant say much about the story yet though

[@OccuredJakub12]

This looks so simillar to the game I always wanted to make, with the waves and the movement-focused mechanics with a large ocean as your playground for movement. Dammit! And this looks good too!

[@cheesyluigi]

Please make it we need more of that kinda game! ❤

[@abe6281]

I need this in physical asap, it looks great

[@bradleyandrews2444]

the music at the end there really hit the stop

Wow the transition from action scenes to a calm dialogue at 1:23 caught me off guard, nicely done

[@MechaPig227]

[@ac8598]

Gotta say; Thunderfull is fantastic name for a studio

[@noahsabadish3812]

certainly an improvement over “Image & Form”

[@TainoMoya]

Looking forward to playing it. Looks very fun heard the controls are really good

[@kiyoshiizumi02]

Definitely grabbing this. I needed another ocean based game since LoZ: Windwaker.

[@ellis7658]

Played the demo for this a while ago and the traversal is some of my favourite in ages looking forward to the release of this one

[@Savagewolver]

Looks like 3D Sonic meets Windwaker meets Paychonauts. Interesting.

[@gnomefuel]

looks fantastic

[@3dreamsequence]

What an incredible trailer!

[@mrsbasia122]

Watching this brought back feelings of nostalgia for Zelda: Wind Breaker; where the depths held many secrets and every island was home to a unique culture and people. It was the first time I felt that the ocean was one giant marvel ready to be explored- and this game managed to recapture that feeling.

[@HowToGameDifferently]

I managed to get to play this and review it before release. It's honestly a great game. Roughly 3.5 hours long. Hopefully, there's a day one patch for it on Switch, as I did come across a few bugs. There is a demo on Steam if anyone wants to try it out first.

[@Big_Dai]

That's VERY short.. hopefully the price matches the content

[@Rinienna]

@@Big_Dai That's the lowest length I've heard so far, seen more so roughly around 4/5 hours, depending probably on going after collectables/exploring fully??? not sure I really hope they add more content some day, it's an absolutely gorgeous game and a really splendid concept in everything but combat (combat is kind of an afterthought. But it's still held together by the visuals.) Switch version definitely is in need of some work though.

[@HowToGameDifferently]

@Rinienna that was very much my thoughts on the game. The game itself is great, but they could have done a lot more with (particularly with the sparklings only being used to purchase outfits). Hopefully we get more or a sequel

[@SmartSmears]

@@Big_Dai to be fair A Short Hike was that short and was well worth the price, some games can pull it off
