Any news on review embargo?
Still wish they would have made a big Steamworld Heist sequel instead, but will give this a go on game pass.

I'm torn. On one hand, I've really enjoyed the Steamworld games I've played. On the other hand, this looks like a kind of bog-standard 3rd person action game. I guess I'm still not sure what the "hook" is?
What is this game? Like what is the structure?
Edit: Eh, this looks a little rough around the edges.

They've been worryingly quiet about detail on this game.
Barely any released gameplay and it's out in 3 days…
Right now it's seemingly coasting by on "from the makers of Steamworld" and little else

It's on Game Pass (right?), so I will give it a shot, but my problem with the game, has been my problem since they first showed it, which is that I think visually it's just kind of bland. Just these rock and stone environments with some weird looking flora, but I'm hoping there are other biomes and environements that I haven't seen any of the preview stuff, otherwise to me it kind of screams Recore.
I'll try it since it's on GP (I think it is anyway) but I'll be honest it doesn't look all that great.
I was hoping for Recore myself. But that game's controls are fast and fluid and this looks really clunky.
Hmm. Being from the Steamworld devs means I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, but this footage doesn't look very good and it's more than a little sketchy how little marketing MS has done for this. Even the release date announcement was very blink and you'll miss it
I'm a big fan of the Steamworld games... This one looks alright but I can't stand that voice acting. It's really bad IMO.
Shortcut. That's cute.
Looks all right for a budget AA action game. Since I don't see a Steam page, i'll probably check it out whenever I get around to dabbling with Game Pass.
Looks great and I love Recore, can't wait to try this!
Edit: Damn not on PC gamepass I guess?
Edit: It is! For some reason the Android gamepass app was saying console only but installing now. I think this looks right up my alley the more I watch.

Seriously though game pass means I'll try it, I'm just curious about the genre/story.
Yeah, considering how I&F's Dig games utterly absorbed me, this looks weirdly unengaging and bog-standard. I hope I'm wrong and it is as addictive as their prior titles but nothing in the trailers yet has me intrigued. Also, there's a little bit of stuff which looks surprisingly unpolished, like the way that "rope" of plant just pops in while the top part unfurls at 12:33 in the IGN video.
I have the same thoughts. Every one of their previous games the look was always instantly engaging, even if I didn't necessarily end up loving the game that much (Steamworld Quest for one.) This just looks... standard. But, it might just not preview that well, which is always a possibility. Fingers crossed, it comes out and is incredible.
exploring a planet overrun with Gunk.
You have the means to clean it up, and doing so allows the planet's wildlife to flourish. However, said wildlife contains valuable energy/resources, and your partner, who is much more practical and money-oriented wants to strip-mine the planet once you get the gunk out- since you both are on the hook for the mortgage on the ship that brought you there. , while you would much rather preserve nature. Supposedly, there's gonna be something done with that dynamic.
In addition, as we can see from the preview, there's going to be the element of upgrading your equipment to reach new areas, with shortcuts being available once you make it past a particular challenge in the area.
I'm still not 100% sure if the game features any combat or not, which I guess isn't a good thing in terms of how well they are marketing the game.
The big long video in the OP shows the gunk becoming more... aggressive, sentient. I was only scanning through but I'm getting the feeling of this being a mix of platform/puzzler, but also goo sucking against malignent foe.
