@AaronElWhite I was sure I saw it in the sale yesterday, so just double checked for you, £8.37 and about 10euros on continent. Looks like its not on sale in US on site, but a comment above says $12 (I presume US)
It was a joy in handheld. I haven't played in a couple of years, so may have to do so ready for DLC too

How unexpected. It was a nice chill game, I definitely enjoyed it. Would for sure give this a go.
Again, totally unexpected, of all things to receive a massive DLC, I wouldn't have ever guessed this. Funny they didn't just release it as a sequel.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a castle to build

@BigRed40 I love Short Hike. I think about it often. My total time in the game must be little more than 5-6 hours, but it stays with you.

Yes, we need DLC! Where's my 'Long Hike?

Now if only A Short Hike could get a dlc/sequel as well! Love both of these so much.

That said, while the game looks gorgeous, I hope they add a chunky slider like A Short Hike has. The chunky low res artstyle is part of the appeal, personally.

Played it all, 100% if I recall completely, on Xbox Series X. Game Pass, to be precise. I do want to buy it but I'll wait for the DLC and buy both together.

Super fun game. Addicting. One of those games where you just don't want to play anything else since this one is so easy to start and play (Quick Resume really helps with that on Xbox) that you just feel like resuming it. Not being a chore to play really helps.

One of my favorites! Perfect reason to snag a sale copy on the e-shop at some point and replay on Switch in anticipation for the DLC.

I still have to properly play through the base game, but what I did play of it was really cute and charming. I'll be glad to get this expansion!

Whoa wait, the DLC is double the size of the base game? Is that correct? I was expecting it to be about half the size.

Promising the double the size of the original game

Maybe this should be "Promising to double the size of the original game, which would mean the DLC is about the same size as the base game. That seems more likely.

I can’t recommend the base game enough. My daughter and I are really looking forward to this!
