I’m having a hard time settling on a rating for this. The game started very strong, is absolutely gorgeous and a lot of fun to play. But in the end it descends into a chaotic mess. I still enjoyed the game but it grows tedious rather than enjoyably more difficult. It remains worth playing but I don’t know if I want to give it a high recommendation.

Just finished the third area, this is addictive. The lore is just vague enough to not get in the way of the gameplay, and it's challenging enough to be the kind of frustrating that makes you wanna keep playing. I have this on PC, but I could see myself especially enjoying short bursts of this on Switch.

Looks like I’m about 79% done and still enjoying myself greatly. It’s hard to put down once you start.

Creature in the Well is absolutely stunning. And very fun to play. It was difficult at first but now that I am comfortable with the controls it has levelled out and the core difficulty of the game is quite enjoyable. It’s also running super smoothly on Switch, for anyone out there wondering prior to purchasing.

So far I cannot open this game. I receive the message that it is not yet available. Are drop dates now drop hours? I thought I'd be able to play a bit last night, but no dice. I'll try again after work (when I expect it's ready to go).

I have a stack of games that I want to play, but I am really debating putting them aside to grab Creature in the Well for release. I don't know if I should jump on it now, or wait for a possible physical release and simply focus on all the other great games I have in my backlog to play.

Anyone hear whispers of a physical copy? I’m wondering if I should hold off for one or just grab the digital copy at release.

This trailer has phenomenal editing:

And the game now also has a release date (6 Sept 2019).
