9 hours of local play with the kid ( last day of school, no work to do anyway) and I can safely say this is going to muscle its way into my very regular rotation.
It’s still every bit as deep, but there’s much less friction involved. So many QoL changes and it’s surprising good looking too. I could swear it’s had a visual bump since the demo.
LOVE my doggie as well, and the wirebug. All told it’s looking like it’s every bit as good as World, just in its own way.
I still think this was meant to be launch day for the new switch alongside this game, pre pandemic. It’s going to look very nice with some DLSS going on in there later this year.
