It wasn't long ago that developer Moonlight Kids and publisher Humble Games confirmed that The Wild at Heart would be heading to Switch. An utterly charming exploration and adventure title with Pikmin-esque mechanics of throwing buddies, it's already out on PC and Xbox. Pleasingly it now has its final Switch release date - 16th November as a physical release as well as on the eShop.
It's been critically acclaimed and has 'very positive' user reviews on Steam; below is some of the official summary.
A mysterious hidden realm. Two precocious kids fleeing hardship. Magical creatures and an oddball order of guardians who have lost their way. A stygian evil imprisoned. Welcome to the Deep Woods.

I take user reviews on any site with a grain of salt, no offense to them but people tend to get emotional with reviews (more so than reviewers on gaming sites), but this game does look very good. I'll probably get it at some point.
Okay, but is Nicolas Cage in it?
So, Pikmin 4 finally?
Judging by the artwork I was prepared to say it's more Hey! Pikmin than Pikmin but I watched the vid and it did look pretty good.
Woot! Thx for posting! This looks absolutely gorgeous, charming, lovely and beautiful!
Indie pikmin prettyness! 😍😍😍
One of the few I’ve been keeping my eye on. Glad it’s releasing soon!
I have finish it on gamepass and it is alright. Nothing special but I enjoyed it and actually was looking for more when the credits rolled (which in itself can be seen as pro or con)
This looks like it could be a fun and very cute game to try with the kiddos - Knights and Bikes mashed up with Pikmin! I wonder if it has 2-player co-op?
I'll play this just in case Nintendo is watching.... even a remaster of 1 & 2 Nintendo!
Is it done by the same people as Knights and Bikes? Or maybe the same artist. Looks lovely
I can't stand these new YouTube video player without mute om the players. I already avoid YouTube because i don't want to turn my entire device volume down for 1 video, but also because the player sucks & you have to touch the dot & drag to rewind or fast forward instead if just touching wherever on the timeline of the video to go to that portion of the video. Horrible design, horrible company & i try to avoid both of those things as much as possible.
I'm a huge Pikmin fan and I tried this out on gamepass. It was just ok but I only gave it maybe 3 hours.
@IronMan30 Steam user reviews is about i care about, because they often explain the good and bad, but also tells if it's a broken unfinished game. There is games that looks very good, but get's 90% negative reviews because of broken controls. Looks awesome, but plays terrible.
Note: On Steam a game may only have 60% positives, but the negative reviews can sometimes be only irrelevant things.
Some downvote single player games with online, only because online part is dead.
Steam forums for each game also tells if it's abandonware, broken etc.
Review bombed games. Just focus mainly on the positives. hehe
