Only just heard about this game for the first time today, and it looks so good! I don't think I have the time or money to buy it at launch, but the second it hits some sort of PSN sale, I'm in!
You should try and find the money for it. It's a game that needs and deserves the sales right now.
I'm playing it solo, on my laptop, with keyboard controls. It's still a blast. AI is working very well.
I finished the game earlier tonight.
Overall I had a damn good time with it, although I'll be honest I did find the quality of the levels/days started to dip in the second half.
There just seemed to be a lot more wacky and charming scenarios in the first half, and I didn't particularly enjoy a lot of the puzzles and combat scenarios by the end.
The writing and humour was always top notch, though.

I am so keen to grab this! My partner and I will have an awesome time playing once we finish Sword of Ditto.
Thanks! All I needed to hear 😃 Downloaded it and going to dive in tonight!
I'm not that far into the game myself, but yeah, the writing is absolutely excellent in this game. Love the dialogs.
Weird! There's a big ol' banner for it when I click the "See New Releases" tab.

More people should play this, what an adorable game!
I am playing coop with my daughter and she is absolutely loving it. We're on the 3rd day and already had tons of fun playing it. The only downside is that there is no localization for our language, but since i am playing with her i can translate everything.

Can't help but think if this game released like 2 weeks earlier, what sort of attention it would be getting compared to now. They really couldn't have picked a worse week to release this game.

This totally snuck up on me. Had kind of fell behind keeping up with the backer updates so was pleasantly surprised to see it's out! Can';t wait to get into it.
Late review by Gamespot, but a good one. 8/10
THE GOOD
THE BAD
THE GOOD
- Perfectly captures the escapist thrill of childhood play
- Demelza and Nessa are all too real characters even when their heads are full of fantasy
- The story barrels along with all the energy of a hyperactive kid
- Local co-op is the ideal match to the overall tone
THE BAD
- The puzzles can feel a little lightweight
- The combat can get repetitive

the wife and i have slowly been going through this but we're really enjoying it. it's incredibly charming. loved the medieval pizza party :p
she also said, without knowing who was behind the game, that it reminded her of tearaway :p
good stuff so far. we just finished day 2.

I finished the game yesterday. And while I adore the artstyle and the way the game evokes the imagination you have as a child, I found the gameplay to be a bit monotonous. Combat and traversal weren't a challenge separate from the moments when the camera wasn't obscuring the path. I would have preferred a more open approach to the level design as well, so that I could explore the world at my own pace. I always felt a like I was being herded through the gorgeous environments. That dragged a bit towards the end because the gameplay never really evolves or changes. All in all, I had a really good time and enjoyed being in this magical picturebook world of the two friends.
Me and the lady completed it on Sunday night. Overall we had a good time despite a few niggles. I agree that the gameplay got a bit stale but the game didn't overstay its welcome. One thing that annoyed me was we were playing through my account and while all the trophies we got popped for me, only around half of them popped for her. She's now insisting we do a second playthrough on her account. Hmph. Does anybody know why this might happen?

whenever i play co op with the wifey, this seems to happen in just about every game we play together. it's a bummer cause we both want those trophies.
I bought this a while ago but only started playing this week.
Presentation wise, this is easily amongst my favourite games ever, which is not surprising at all if you look at the credits. Rex is one of my favourite artists in games. I thought Tearaway looked fantastic and this game does aswell. It also has a great soundtrack and neat sound effects. The whole package is amazing from a presentation point of view. It is obvious that a lot of passion and hard work went into making this game. I also like the thematics, the characters and the story.
However, the gameplay isn't really doing it for me unfortunately. It mostly consists of having to go to a certain place and perform some actions, mostly mini games (which aslo include combat) to evolve the story. The thing is, i don't like the bike steering mechanics (i find them frustrating at best) and the combat isn't very fun either. Since i'm playing solo, the competition mini games aren't all that interesting either. So the main reason why i haven't given up on the game yet is to see how the story evolves and for the visuals.
I'm playing solo which is never ideal for a co-op game and i assume playing this in co-op, as it was intended, would be a whole other and probably better experience. However, i'm not sure if the gameplay would have remained interested, even in co-op.
It's a bit of a shame this game didn't have more compelling gameplay because presentation wise, this is totally my thing. It's imaginative, fresh, colorful and it looks amazing.

That's weird; I just got a backer update email with this exact information. I wonder what took them so long to communicate this.
Anyway, kind of sad to see do little activity in here, but I'm guilty too as despite being a backer I've barely played it. It's such a cute and charming game but it's well and truly on the back burner for me.

Yeah that's an apt description. Also with a focus on local co op. You can play by yourself but I've found playing with the SO was a more fun experience

I'll also say that what I liked most about the game was its charm, which it has in abundance. It's a really charming, warm game. Gameplay wise there's not a lot here that was anything more than mildly engaging, particularly the puzzles. I kinda liked just fucking about on the bikes the most. So, if a games feel/vibe can go a long way for you, you should check it out.
Question: I finished the game and would like to do the missing trophies. But it doesn't look like you can continue the game afterwards. So do I have to reload the old bookmark saved that are per day? If I wanna go back to the city can I only do that eg on a specific day / bookmark save?

i have no clue sorry. bet you could get an answer in the knights and bikes discord though
