Step Aside Yoshi Woven Is Bringing A Different Woolly World To Switch This November
Step Aside Yoshi - Woven Is Bringing A Different Woolly World To Switch This November Nintendo Life Stitchin' by Share: on With games like and its Wii U predecessor , not to mention Coldwood Interactive's excellent , we've seen several beautiful material-based platformers in recent years. Dutch indie developer Alterego Games is now raiding the craft box and weaving its own tale with 3D platformer , coming to Switch on 15th November. Described as a 10-20 hour game experience, you play as a customisable stuffed elephant named Stuffy in a once-peaceful knitted world that has been disrupted by some nastiness or other. A grumpy narrator tells the story in rhymes as you play and, according to the developers, the game takes 'elements of platform, point-and-click and action-adventure games without being exactly like any of them.' Originally part of , Woven was picked up by publisher StickyLock Studios. While the game's world itself looks attractive, the most intriguing part is arguably the customisation of Stuffy that lets you alter his abilities by substituting different body parts. The press release suggests adding goat legs to the elephant to increase his jumping ability, for example. It's unclear exactly how far you can take this, but it's got us thinking about the lumbering knitted monstrosities we'd create given the chance. Here's a few of the key details according to the official blurb: - A fantastically grumpy storyteller tells a deep and rich story in rhymes.
- An epic bed-time story for everyone that’s still in touch with their inner child.
- A casual, but challenging and rewarding title for those that want to discover it all.
- Character-customisation is key to solving puzzles.
- A dynamic soundtrack making the world of Woven come alive, by composer Vortigon.
- Colourful, beautiful, and very detailed 3D world, with a dark and ominous past.
- Discover the world, the mystery at your own pace.
- Detailed and adorable cute creatures, all in fear for their lives. The screenshots certainly look lovely - we'll have to wait and see if the gameplay can live up to them. No news on price just yet, but if you're after a laid-back bit of puzzling and cute adventuring, this might be worth investigation when it launches on Switch in a fortnight. Are you up for some relaxing 3D platforming of the knitted variety? Let us know if you like the look of Woven's woolly world below. Share: About Gavin loves a bit of couch co-op, especially when he gets to delegate roles, bark instructions and give much-appreciated performance feedback at the end. He lives in Spain (the plain-y bit where the rain mainly falls) and his love for Banjo-Kazooie borders on the unhealthy. Comments ) The character creation reminded me of Spore by EA. Hmm, I do find the main character quite charming. Something I'll keep my eye on. Excuse me?! Yoshi never has to step aside for anything! ..that said this does look kind of nice. Will keep an eye on it.
Yoshi had to step aside from having quality music. I would consider this once reviews come in! Unravel 2 was one of the best experiences I’ve had on Switch all year! This just makes me want a Kirbys Epic Yarn rerelease, I might now have to go play that on my wii. Nice to know. May I ask, did you play it mostly co-op or mostly in a single player? Looks much better than any yoshi game Stopped watching after 20 seconds. That grey character has all the charm of a grey sock a 14 yr old has been using in his bedroom for non-foot related purposes. Interesting. I kept waiting for the trailer to read "made in Dreams" at the end though, a bit janky. This part does worry me a bit - "the game takes 'elements of platform, point-and-click and action-adventure games without being exactly like any of them.'" Sometimes people take that route b/c they're not good at any one thing so they go for quantity over quality. Like that game w/ the rodent/marsupial which looks really good in the overworld but rally stupid when he's shooting ants w/ a gun. I can't believe I even just wrote that sentence. Oh well, will look for reviews. Also kinda worried about not hearing about a game until 2 weeks before it releases. We heard about Yooka-Laylee for years before it released and I still found it completely underwhelming. Looks like a sweet, cuddly, acid trip. Right, talking RAbbit!! I played it alone. But if I had someone to play co op with I bet that would be just as lovely. The graphics are phenomenal, and the music was just a treat! That's great to know. Non of my friends are gamers, so to hear someone describe the single player mode as 'one of the best experiences I’ve had on Switch all year!' is awesome. I had dismissed the game as only worth it for co-op - so thank you. Can I also ask if it looks sharp (not blurry) in handheld? I'm a Switch Lite guy now The character creation bit looks sort of like what Nuts and Bolts should have been / wanted to be. Overall this looks pretty crappy, but I'm having a good enough time with A Knight's Quest right now (which also looked crappy in its trailers) so maybe this could be a surprise too Those four screenshots look nice. The video looks hideous. well, if I’m being honest I don’t know if I am the guy to ask about graphics. I thought it looked quite nice! But I’ve also never noticed when a game looks bad That's a good mind to have I reckon! I think some of us (like me sometimes) don't do ourselves any favours by being 'particular' about graphics Looks like it has some neat ideas, though I'm not a fan of the graphics. Still looks like it a ways to go. But it has my attention, and I'd keep an eye out for reviews. better than ‘any’ yoshi game?? Surely you can’t be including Yoshi’s Island, one of the greatest 2d platformers ever made (SNES).. sure why not? It’s ok. This looks better imo So it’s Spore Lite? It does look interesting.
