I don’t know what to say. Sad day for the Spanish development. Those are the guys who split from Mercury Steam after doing that God Of War Castlevania. They even started publishing some games. The managers have stepped down after this decision.

That's unfortunate. I seem to recall that Rime did quite well for them, no? Then again, that was like 6 years ago and I don't think they've done much since, so I guess it was going to happen eventually.

Rime was great. I was thinking about it recently while playing Jusant which has similar vibes. What a shame.

 

[TransTrender]

Bummer.
I thoroughly enjoyed Rime, but they haven't really done anything else...

 

[Branded]

That's a shame. Loved Rime.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I finished And liked Rime.

Unfortunately I have not played any of their other games.
The Sexy Brutee is the only other game I can think of.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Rime was awful but still sad to see.

Sad to hear as Rime was quite an enjoyable experience. Sadly it looks like they had two flops one after another, first with Gylt which was a Stadia exclusive and only years later being ported to PC and consoles, and then with their most recent release which was a title based on the League IP (this one failed commercially as well).

 

[MiguelItUp]

Great studio to work with, and very nice and talented people. RiME was really special. Shame to see this.

Rime is exceptionally good.

Its only issue is that despite what the presentation might suggest, its got more in common with narrative heavy "arty"-indies like What Remains of Edith Finch, than Zelda or Ueda's work.

As a meditation on grief and ultimately acceptance of loss, its remarkably intelligent and beautifully crafted.

Honestly, its among the most underrated games of the last 20 years in my opinion.

Sad to see Tequila Works in financial dire-straits, but at least in their time they created this mini-masterpiece. Even if its largely unsung.

I bought Rime and Gylt. That's a bummer.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

shame...

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

I love so much their Castlevania, and the musics is just... glorious and one of my favorite OST ever.
Liked Rime too, I feel so sad that they are about to close, we are loosing some very talented people here.
If only money from Bioware wasted in blue hairs could get to them, to make REAL games and no political garbage.

What a shame, I was just playing GYLT over the Halloween week.

It's a really well done, beautiful little Silent Hill-like game. A great buy @ $10 or less.

The ending of that game...god dammit.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Pour one for our Spanish homies...

Rime was beautiful, also, i motherfookin' cried, that ending was masterful (for a game), them fookin' feels man, on par with a Ueda game (the feels that is).

Gonna try Gylt next.

Castlevania LOS was also fookin' amazin, amazing art-direction, atmosphere and that music from Oscar Araujo was just chef's kiss.jpg, but no, people love their Weebvanias so what do i know.

Talking about Mercury Steam now, is that hack of a president still there ? You know, the one that fucked up the sequel to LOS and that monumental fuck up that was Raiders of the Broken Planet (now Spacelords) which didn't have a clear vision since day1...

 

[Dr. Suchong]

A great shame.
Rime was magical.
That ending broke me.

 

[Gilgalaad]

The Sexy Brutale is a really great game.

Rime is classic but i also enjoyed it.

It’s Sad.
