After five years of work, the gloriously colourful metroidvania Unbound: Worlds Apart is finally finished, and on the Nintendo Switch.
You'll play as Soli (the little red mage) who teleports into a strange and savage new place, with the power to open portals which change the very nature of the world by altering gravity, time, and even Soli's own abilities.
The puzzle-platforming levels, which remind us of games like Limbo and Ori and the Blind Forest, range from riding terrifyingly large beetles to dodging out of the way of jaws that are trying to clamp down on you.
What's more, everything in the game is hand-drawn, with plenty of tiny, beautiful details to admire as you fall into lave for the ten billionth time.
The game has a 15% launch discount until the 3rd of August, costing £15.29 (originally £17.99) on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

Will there be a Nintendo Life review?
I hope there will be a review for this one
Looks fantastic, will put it on my to buy list once I hear more good things about it.
Awesome, Vivi got his own spinoff. Zidane, Garnet/Dagger and the rest of the gang must be proud.
Now, being serious, it looks good. The "two worlds" mechanic reminds me of The Messenger and Guacamelee. To the wishlist it goes.
It looks really really good. As the game had a long development period, devs must have been very upset when they saw games like the messenger using similar ideas from the ones they got for their own game. Or maybe it was the opposite? Who knows? What matters to me is the game is beautiful and a bunch of mechanics that effectively worked in other games are present here. Of course I'm gonna get it one of these days
I backed this on Kickstarter so have the game key and downloaded it, will get on it at some point
