No no, from the 2 demo's it's very clearly not an indie game, but I do not think it can possibly offer the same huge experiences which the games I listed can do on the same system. For me a €60 game has to be big bucks all round, graphics, sound and story and imo (just an opinion of course) this game falls down in 2 of those area's to where it shouldn't be a full AAA game asking price.

 

Would love to see it do great though, I'm rooting for it for a number of reasons, just would love to see SE do more work with the platform, maybe consider porting their Secret of Mana trilogy over to the West since it's already out in Japan for months now.

But your requirements kinda affect certain games negatively. Was The Order (not going to get into detail like the last couple of times) worth the original $60? Was No Man’s Sky? Were Splatoon or Titanfall?

There are other examples in which games fulfill your requirements but don’t necessarily feel worth $60 to some.

Of the games you mentioned only one of them (or the sequel to it) was bought by me at launch, that's Splatoon 2 it ticked the boxes for me in a way those games are, same with Overwatch (even though that was €40 not 60) but splatoon's Graphics, sound, controls and matches are phenomenal in what they offer for €60 on top of that, even though it is an arena shooter that game still offers a full single player campaign along with some hilarious stories and some giant boss battles. I don't see where in my criteria the game wouldn't make the list.

No mans sky had fuck all content (story)

The order was a terrible short story (story)

Titanfall was on a platform which at the time I wasn't using for online play so even if the game was €60 I would have needed to pay a further €50 for the ability to play it online, so while the game might have been something I could justify being worth 60, I couldn't pony up 110 for what it was offering.
