Iâm not crying, you are! I bought this game thinking it would be a cozy adventure where I could turn into birbs and fishies. Didnât expect an emotional journey at the same time - but that came as a pleasant surprise. Overall, itâs an open world style game with all the usual gimmicks - fast travel points, viewpoints that mark our collectibles in the area, etc. Mounts are replaced by the ability to âsoul jumpâ into the animals of the world, but a nice QoL feature is that they let you summon the animal you want if itâs not around. The story is really good, though if you were going straight for story and ignoring everything else youâd probably be done with the game fairly quickly. Thereâs only one real side quest, which is a treasure hunt, which was really fun, trying to work out from the landmarks where there treasure would be. Most are obvious the rough area if youâve been paying attention as you played, though some had me going down the wrong track for a while. It was also nice to learn about a totally different culture and the music was delightful. Overall, really enjoyed the game, and would highly recommend.

This game's vibe and characters are super charming and loveable. The music design is fantastic and the setting and tone is meticulously crafted to evoke love and care for this little slice of paradise in the Pacific Ocean. And oh my god, the main mechanic of soul jumping is something that I have been dreaming of to see in a game for a long time. Thanks to it, the combat is very fun and dynamic as well. Also, really loved all the mini games and collectibles this world is littered with. The game is here for you to embrace the playstyle of running around doing silly things just for the heck of it.

I had a lot of fun playing Tchia and I definitely recommend it. The graphics are beautiful and music plays a big role in this game. You get to play different instruments from time to time and the songs are mostly in Drehu which makes them even more unique and nice to listen to. If you want to fully enjoy the music and the visuals, you can turn on autoplay and Tchia will play her instruments automatically. The voice-overs are primarily in Drehu as well which is great for immersion. In general I learnt a lot about a culture and language that I didn't know before and you could see right from the start that the devs have put a lot of love into this game. I also enjoyed the story, it was touching and honestly not what I expected, but I was surprised in a positive way. Being able to explore the world as an animal (mostly birds, deer and dolphins in my case) or different objects such as oil lamps or coconuts is an amazing feature, I love this idea, but unfortunately it doesn't always work perfectly fine. I'll elaborate on this a bit later. Despite all the positive aspects, there are some issues that have also been mentioned by other people. First of all, the game always took more than five minutes to start. It's not a huge problem, but pretty annoying when you don't have a lot of time to play. Some people complained about the game being too brutal and I cannot fully agree. It's probably not the right game for an 8-year-old, but you can actually turn on "Family Mode" in the settings which should "reduce the intensity of some specific scenes", although I haven't tested it because imo there are some scenes in Ghibli movies or even Spongebob that are way more disturbing. You shouldn't give a game a negative review for something that you are able to turn off in your settings, it's not really fair. While soul-jumping is the most convenient way to travel and in the settings there is actually an option to be able to soul-jump without limits, it can also be quite annoying. Sometimes you have to jump out, for example to pick up objects, but by the time you're ready to soul-jump back into the animal that you used before, it will have run away. This kind of ruined the feature because the world is big but empty at the same time, so sometimes you have to run around for like five minutes to find a new animal for travelling. This brings me to another issue, the biggest one for me. It took me 8.5 hours to complete the story and there's no incentive to further explore the world (unless you really wanna go for that 100%) which is sad because the game has a lot of potential. Probably some more side quests would have done the trick. For these reasons, I strongly recommend getting the game in a sale. It's definitely worth playing but probably not worth the full price.

TCHIA, is quite simply, one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences in my almost 40 years of gaming. TCHIA begins as a very typical RPG, and ends up as a game of vast scope, with literally hundreds of items and locations to find, numerous races to be won, flying, swimming and sailing to be done (and even sailing long distances is simply beautiful, and never tedious), all while meeting special people. (My favorite game is the search for chests in secret locations! It just seems to go on for EVAH!) If you donât want to tackle all the challengesâŚthen donât! (My bum left hand makes racing, high diving, and slingshot shooting in Tchia very difficult. So, I just never bothered after I discovered the difficulty, and it really didnât matter much to the game at all! In fact, even though I finish few games, TCHIA is a game that I did finish, and wanted more!) There are numerous battles in Tchia, but few of them are more than just fun with little risk of harm. (And if you lose, you just wake up on your raft, or from a nap beside a relaxing campfire.) Not to say there arenât dark places in the game, but also a âfamily friendlyâ mode to lighten things up a bit. The titular character (curious to see how Steam handles a completely appropriate word), has the special skill to transform into just about any creature she encounters, whether they live on land, or in air or water. Also, she has a ukulele with magical powers, so thatâs pretty handy. Tchia is not perfect, with the unfortunate propensity for clipping to allow travel through walls (where it should not happen.) But the minor issues are counterbalanced by the total immersion in the beautiful world representing the island nation of New Caledonia. If you see it, you can most likely pick it up and carry or throw it. If it lives, itâs likely you can pet it. And if itâs a tree, hill, building or mountainâŚyou can climb it!!! And the POV is exactly as encompassing as any player might wish. Tchia starts pretty easy, but with some platforming and racing that can be challenging. But considering the entire world is open as HUNDREDS of challenges, itâs always a simple matter to find something easier, or more difficult, than your current challenge if you should so wish. And BTWâŚNONE of the achievements are quick or easy! The most common challenge is currently only obtained by 20.2% of all players. If you want fun with just the right amount of challenge to keep you happy, Tchia may be as perfect a game for you as it was for me. I played much of TCHIA offline, so my hours are understated by more than half. Also, please be aware that "woke assaults" have skewed ratings data significantly, and TCHIA would otherwise have (and should have, in this player's opinion) a substantially higher rating. Thank you.

This is a truly outstanding game and I highly recommend it. Story: This game shines in its storytelling elements. It's deeply moving, both through very dark storytelling at some points and powerfully heartwarming in others. I was very moved playing this game. The game is also pro-LGTQIA+ both in story and in design elements, which is nice to see. Design: As a game that is largely exploration and item collection, the design elements of the game stood out with it being a love letter to New Caledonia. It gives the game such a unique look (to myself in North America anyway), and is filled with Indigneous culture and language (though also with colonizer elements as it is a French territory). The game is very rich visually and is so much fun to explore and move through. Additionally, it also has a wonderful soundtrack (though I did get sick of all the music mini games, even with auto play options, there were just too many and they were quite long for such repetitive songs). Game play: As noted, the game is mostly exploration and item collection. There is also a range of mini games that go into the "collection" aspect such as racing and combat. The game takes place on a series of islands and you are constantly moving between them. At times this can get a little tedious, but the visuals of the game mostly make it okay. The only downsides of this game for me are that there are some places where the game is a little too platformer heavy. I thought I was purchasing a nice, relaxing game, but there's certainly a few points where it most certainly is not. The game does allow you to skip over such areas, though, as I didn't use that feature, I can't speak to how much you skip over and lose. As someone who is generally not great at platformers games, I was able to complete all platformer parts of the game, even the more challenging ones that are not required to complete the game. Took a few (or several) tries for some, but none to the point where I got too frustrated with the game, so I wouldn't let that stop you from playing). Overall: a true gem of a game. Highly recommended!
