Contrast video game

I see they released this on the Xbox One today. I never did get it on the 360, reviews of the last gen versions were less than stellar, but I may have to go back and watch a little more about it.
 
Is this the game where you can go into the shadows? I think it got release for the ps4 also. Watched a video on it about a week ago.
 
Yes, I believe it is that game and it was released on the PS4 as well. The PS4 version may have been out last week, not sure. I haven't really heard much on it since the release on 360/PS3/PC, just happened to see it in the store.

PS4 release of the game

Xbox One release of the game

I don't think there's any difference between the versions. I'd think mostly the thing is just upscaled from original for the new consoles. Not sure if the Sony site just doesn't let them put notes or what, but the developers did throw this note out to consumers on the Xbox One listing as part of the game description.

Dev note: Hi everyone! Thanks for checking out CONTRAST. We’re really excited about the Xbox One version. It is the tightest version of the game we’ve made, and has had the advantage of the improvements that we’ve made since the initial launch of the game and the power of the Xbox One (believe it or not, dynamic shadows make for a pretty power hungry game). We made this game because we wanted to make something different. We wanted a simple, mature story – something that’s not “congratulations, here’s a fancy sword, go save the world!†– based around a mechanic that hadn’t been seen before. If you like games that are different or unique, set in different time periods, with unusual stories or new mechanics, then this might be a good game for you. If you like super-hard platformers, this isn’t that type of game. The average play time is roughly 4-5 hours, but it’s like most games based around puzzles – some of you will complete it faster or take longer to explore the world. But, we encourage you not to race through it – to us, CONTRAST is a performance, where every minute we’re trying to bring you something different. We suggest you find and read all the collectibles, if you’d like to fully understand the story (and to get the full sweet 1000 G). And, if you like it, feel free to come say hi on Twitter!
 
Picked this up for the One a moment ago. I still need to start Watch Dogs, but hopefully I'll have time to do that and give this game a whirl over the holiday weekend.
