Jett: The Far Shore is coming to PCvia the Epic Games Storethis holiday season (October-November-ish) as well as to PlayStations. Seeits websitefor more.
Randy Smith is also gushing, blurbing: “Jett has everything I look for in a video game - exploration, adventure, a riveting story, a richly drawn world - this along with the fresh tone and startling vision we saw from Superbrothers in Sword & Sworcery. It’s breathtaking to experience that aesthetic evolved successfully into 3D and a much larger scope. My role was to enrich the open world systemic gameplay using my immersive sim background.”
I will forgive this gushing because I’m dead curious to explore it all myself. As Old Man Kieron Gillen wrote in ourSuperbrothers: Sword & Sworcery reviewafter the collaboration with Capy came to PC in 2012:
“It’s a game which feels like its own world, like an adventure, and discovering its secrets (and wondering about what it obliquely hints at) is a fine way to spend four hours and/or one month of your life.
“Most importantly, the grizzled boor’s penis is amazing.”
Oh Kieron.
