![]() ![]() "To be honest, we think that this is the definite and best version of the game," Simogo concluded.Īnd that's quite some thing to boast considering the praised lavished upon Year Walk at the time of its initial release: The GamePad rumbles and makes lovely sounds (make sure you have the volume all cranked up on it!), and it just feels amazingly tactile - like you're actually holding the objects in your hands."Įxtra secrets have also been added to the game for the benefit of returning players. For example, if you find something in the forest that you can spin or rotate, you'll physically rotate the GamePad, with really finely tuned controls. "Unlike the PC-version, which used cursor controls to interact with puzzles and contraptions, we now use custom motion controls for almost every puzzle. We're very proud of this and we think we've made some really cool innovations with the motion-based cursor controls. You can rest the GamePad neatly in your lap. "It's very reminiscent of using the Wii Remote to point at the TV, or mouse controls, but perhaps even more relaxed, as you don't have to point it towards the TV. But, to look around and find things to interact with, you'll point and move the GamePad with very relaxed and subtle motions. "You use the left stick to walk (and it feels pretty good to do so with analogue controls!). "Yes, we know, motion controls can be a bit scary, and frankly not very good if not done right, so we're going to explain a bit how it works," Simogo said in a new blog post. You can now use the GamePad touchscreen to see (optional) hints, read the game's encyclopaedia, view the map and also to take notes.īut the biggest change comes in the game's new motion controls. ![]() Year Walk is the work of Swedish indie Simogo, although the studio has collaborated with Brit outfit Dakko Dakko (of Scram Kitty fame) for the Wii U edition.
