"An artistic masterclass on virtually every level—it begins perfectly, it ends perfectly, and it delivers a bounty of beautiful, creative platformer goodness in between. It is, perhaps, 2015's first inevitable lock for year-end top ten lists."

I've been eyeing this up for a while..worth it?

If you have never experienced this game, please play it at least once before you die!

For the first couple of hours I thought this was one of the best games I've ever played. The art direction, the soundtrack, the overall look and feel was awesome, but then frustration set in with things like the requirements for millimetre perfect jump combinations.

Thanks both for the comments.Going to try it :smiley:

amazing game but like tatdownsarf said it does ramp up in difficulty to the point of much frustration. the artwork, music are all superb tho. really worth a buy

never finished the original on xbox so picked it up, best thing Microsoft ever did was start putting their games on pc \o/

It shows up as £7.49 when I checked through the MS Store Windows app.

This one isn't on Play Anywhere sadly. Microsoft really should have backwards extended that program to cross-platform titles from last year like this and Gears Utimate Edition.

Not content with winning Strictly Come Dancing - now he has his own game?

Great game. Very beautifully done for a non-blockbuster game. Visually enticing and an excellent platformer. Picked this up when it was a few quid a while ago on the Russian Store, worth every penny.

Under £3.50 via the Russian store, thanks for the heads up OP! :smile:

Loved this game on PC, may double dip now I've switched to consoles!

Sorry it's a bit late (as the deal ends soon) but try this...
