Switch users: don't sleep on "The Touryst"

Just beat the game and it's awesome! Brilliantly blending light puzzling and joyous exploration with an infectious dose of hilarity (quote from games radar). If you like relaxing games, with some easy puzzles just to relax and explore the environment, this is for you. Plus the Touryst is very...

Played on GamePass. Looked incredible and had a lot of fun and just the right length. Would recommend.

I played it on Gamepass and enjoyed it. Would have gotten it on my Switch but I rarely feel compelled to play on it. I hope it did well for them

+1 to the Game Pass list. Played it on there and enjoyed it.

Probably wouldn't have bought it on Switch otherwise.

Put it on the list but the price always seemed too steep for what it was. I'll get it at some point.

I enjoyed it, but the marketing/launch wasn't particularly good. I remember there were zero (p)reviews when it came out, no launch trailer, no buzz, which was very disappointing because it definitely deserved more attention.

It's been on my switch wish list for a while but it's never quite hit the price point to make me bite. I quite enjoyed the demo though.

I tried the demo but never found it compelling enough to buy it. Felt somewhat overhyped in light of all praise it was getting.

Where's the option for "played the demo on Switch but while waiting for a sale, it showed up on Game Pass so I played it there"?

It was the first game I booted up on my XSX after Left 4 Dead 2. It's a fun little game.

Tried it on Game Pass and thought it was a little boring. I can see the appeal but I just don't think it's the type of game that's going to be a hit. Nice looking game though.

I just played it for ten minutes. It seems...okay. Not loving the art. Everything looks blurry.

I wasn't sold on the art style when I first saw it, but what I'm seeing in the trailer is looking mighty attractive right now.

Shin'en became an great developer for me after I played and greatly enjoyed Art of Balance.

It made a mark on Game Pass - that's where I discovered it. It's one of the best games I've played this year.

Looks stunning in 4k 120hz on the XSX too.

It's downloaded and ready to go on my XSX. Will probably play it once I'm done with Ori 2. Excited to check out the visuals if anything!

Isn't that the game where the switch port is superman 64 levels of fog?

No. It released on Switch day one, as the first console release and it definitely didn't have any technical issues of that sort.

To the thread, my wife played it on switch and loved it, I tuned in every now and then to watch her play and the game looked fun aside from some frustrating platforming due to the camera.

I tried the demo but it was way too short and easy for an entire world of the game and left the impression that the game itself would be too short to be worth the money. Loved the graphics though, been waiting on a deep enough sale to justify blind buying it.

I played a couple of hours on Game Pass and didn't like it too much. Graphically it is beautiful but little else.

I loved the visuals and general direction of the game. The puzzles were too finicky though and even if a solution was obvious the physics were maddeningly bad and unwieldy. A 7/10 good but unspectacular game.
