I wouldn't imagine so since it's just going to XB1 and 360 (not even announced date yet) and the Steam release is tomorrow, MS wouldn't gain anything by one upping their own IP within their two userbases.

It's in my Steam wishlist for now. The actual gameplay doesn't get reviewed that well, seems to mostly score on graphics. I'll get it when I'm in a metroidvania mood.

Gameplay not reviewed that well? Are you blowing some of the reviewers comments out of proportion? An incredibly high number of reviewers are praising every aspects of the game, including its gameplay.

While on the subject of the game's weaknesses, the combat is a poor clumsy cousin to the often sublime exploration. Attacks fall to a third character called Sein, a smaller spirit guide which accompanies Ori. There's not much nuance to Sein's power though. Mashing the X button sends out short range bursts of white flame, which will home in on any enemy close by.

This ability can be improved but it never really evolves, and combat encounters against the various corrupted bad guys are disappointingly shallow. Each requires a different approach based on their movements - some leap, others charge for example - but you'll only ever spam them with shots. In such moments, there can be so many similar glowing things flying around in a small space - your strikes, enemy projectiles, globs of XP - that you can take a hit without seeing what struck you, one of the only times when it feels like the game isn't playing fair.

It's also true that beneath the sumptuous surface and the precision engineered mechanics, the game is disappointingly quick to fall back on platform game cliché. You'll push and pull blocks, dodge rotating blades, duck under falling blocks that seem to know when you're underneath and propel yourself upwards to stay ahead of a rising flood. They're all in service of a wonderful larger picture, but you may find yourself craving at least one obstacle you've not seen before.

I don't call that praise. They still recommend it though.

Anyway I rather wait for the hype level to cool down a bit as atm I feel it's not going to meet up to it. Plus as a long time Ghibli fan (owning all the movies) I'm not really seeing the comparison. I'm seeing it in movies like Children who chase lost voices and Wolf children, and ofcourse Ni No Kuni, yet this doesn't set my Ghibli senses tingling. It looks lovely anyway, yet reviews aren't saying the right things to me. Not in the mood for it currently, afraid it's going to be like Trine 2 and Dust an Elysian tale, beautiful yet I'll forget about it after a few hours.
