Anyone else playing this? It's fantastic. Gorgeous visuals and clever challenging level design.

It looks lovely. More and more tempted to get an Xbox.

It's one of the best games I've played in a while. Looks and sounds lush and despite some early doubts about the control design it plays really well and the way the level design opens up is really clever. Beautifully paced too.

It is... normally v dubious how these approaches work but this is a fantastically crafted game... and for £15? ... just plain great.

I've got to agree, it's incredible! Without a doubt one of the best games I've played in a long time.

As you said it looks and sounds fantastic. It really does take you to another place, I don't think a game has done that too me since I played Another World many may years ago.

I don't want it to end so I'm trying not to play through it too fast but I can't put it down.

yeah playing will of the wisps at the moment , I've mixed feelings on this so far , overall a great game and in some aspects as good if not better than the 1st , I don't find it "flows" as well as the 1st though. My main gripe is the slowdown and bugs at times ,had to give up last night as the slowdown and bugs of getting stuck messed with my fighting with the "spider" so took an age and then after that when i got to the worm i just gave up.. pity hopefully some patches hit soon to improve preformance.
