uh, holy crap. The laser sharp focus and minimalism is super commendable... did not get this impression at all from the game’s preview video on the Nintendo eshop. The commercial was totally over-the-top to the point I legitimately until thought it was a rhythm game.

Another victim of marketers not being on the same page as their devs I guess lol

Mini Metro is one of my all time favourites, precisely because it does not fuck around with clutter.

I’ve never heard of this and I just found out it was on Switch. I’m picking this up immediately.

This was a great vid, tho I was partially just hypnotised by the game footage and probably missed a lot of the actual essay lol. :P
