RiME is a much anticipated upcoming game. It garnered some bad press due to it's high price tag [£10 more on the Switch than other consoles], but pre-order prices are coming down to a more equal level. I'd say £32.99 for a physical version on Switch is good. It will also include an exclusive code for a download of the official soundtrack*. Here's what the game is about:
"A land of discovery stretches out before you. Explore the beautiful yet rugged world of RiME, a single-player puzzle adventure. In RiME, you play as a young boy who has awakened on a mysterious island after a torrential storm. You see wild animals, long-forgotten ruins and a massive tower that beckons you to come closer. Armed with your wits and a will to overcome-and the guidance of a helpful fox-you must explore the enigmatic island, reach the tower's peak, and unlock its closely guarded secrets.
Explore - Discover the mysterious island at your own pace. Interact with wildlife, search for hidden items or simply take in the sights and sounds.
Solve Puzzles - Make your way through the ancient ruins and its hidden marvels by solving puzzles with sound, light and shadow projection, perspective, platforming, and even time manipulation.
Find Secrets - Dive deeper into the boy's backstory by uncovering dozens of secrets and collectables.
Be Enchanted - Take in a beautiful world inspired by the wonders of the Mediterranean through a fusion of captivating music and colour."
I think it looks like a very highly polished game.

Sony rejected it, so I'm holding off for reviews, no real need to preorder this one either.

They didn't reject it, the developer decided to buy back the IP rights so they could go multiplat.

It will be £29.99 on digital however. The producers lowered the price on digital due to the backlash over the disparity in pricing between consoles.
Of course, £32.99 may well be a good price for those interested in the physical edition with the soundtrack and the ability to trade in/sell at a later date, so heat!

Or if you go via the US eShop and prepaid credit, you can get it for just over £23
