Even though I have Game Pass I bought the Collector's Edition for that sweet sweet artbook. Really looking forward to it.

Same here, the Collectors Edition looked too good to pass up, plus cheap as chips.

Coming from a PS gamer since the PS1 back in 1998, i’m glad this game is reviewing so well since the first game impressed me so much watching the trailers and wished i could play it so badly along with Alan Wake.

More MS exclusives that caters to my taste and i might buy an Xbox Series X to accompany the Playstation 5 to enrich my gaming experiences further in the future.

Yeah. Personally I'm a big fan of physical but they've been getting harder to justify with Game Pass and when games nowadays only come with the disc. But if MS do nice Collector's edition like this for Halo: Infinite, Fable and Hellblade 2 I might add them to my collection.

I wished they included the first game bundled in with this physical release.
But some good scores.

35 plus reviews and she’s holding, so far so good

Can't wait to play this. Burning through the first one on Switch, very fun and almost has a relaxing, therapeutic vibe to it. Definitely going to dive right into the sequel on Gamepass as soon as I finish the first.

I've finished the game now thanks to gamepass and I'm surprised it worked this well on my very low powered PC - the only issues I had were extended loading freezes (thankfully infrequent) and (pretty frequent) audio bugs in cutscenes. It took me ~ 19h to explore almost 100% of the map and do almost all quests.

I think it's a very good game, but some of the chase sequences (especially the one in the desert) are infuriating trial and error fests and always reset you to the start upon death (very much like in the first game) .. and while the game looks marvelous overall I think those chases actually aren't as visually compelling as in the first one, maybe due to their frantic speed.

Outside of those rare and short sequences the game is thankfully pretty forgiving and gives you the optional tripple jump fairly early on aswell as dozens of other movement abilities and lots of health extenders, so that the platforming became manageable even for ppl with lower than average platforming skills, like me.

I’m only like 20% done. Too much other shit to play.

Will definitely be getting this game!
