✔️ The Good • Beautiful Visual Style : *Tunic* features a charming, isometric art style with vibrant colors and detailed environments, making every area feel like a handcrafted diorama. • Deep Sense of Discovery : The game encourages exploration with hidden secrets, cryptic clues, and an in-game instruction manual that gradually reveals new mechanics. • Satisfying Combat : Inspired by classic action-adventure games, the combat is precise and engaging, with dodge rolls, stamina management, and a variety of weapons. • Brilliant Instruction Manual Mechanic : Collecting and piecing together the in-game manual is a nostalgic and rewarding experience that helps guide players in an unconventional but clever way. • Well-Designed Boss Fights : The game’s bosses are unique and challenging, requiring strategy, patience, and mastery of the mechanics to defeat. • Incredible Soundtrack : The music is atmospheric and beautifully composed, enhancing the sense of adventure and mystery. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3438654456 ❌ The Bad • Can Be Overly Cryptic : It can be difficult to know what to do next—or even what you’re supposed to be doing at all. While this is by design, it could be made easier for casual gamers. • Combat Can Feel Stiff : While enjoyable, the combat can sometimes feel a bit sluggish, especially when dealing with multiple enemies at once. • Some Puzzles Feel Obscure : While the game rewards exploration, certain puzzles rely on vague hints that may lead to frustration rather than satisfaction. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3438654462 ⚠️The Ugly • Lack of Guidance Could Be Off-Putting : Some players may find the game's hands-off approach too extreme, leading to moments of wandering aimlessly without a clear sense of progression. • Difficulty Spikes : While generally balanced, certain enemies and bosses have steep difficulty jumps that may feel frustrating rather than challenging. • Not for Everyone : The game’s combination of cryptic exploration, challenging combat, and obscure mechanics makes it a niche experience that might not appeal to all players. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3438654474 Current Price 💰 Historical Low 📉 ⛔️ Worth the price? ✅ $29.99 $14.99 ✅ Worth it at $15.99 for fans of classic adventure games and Zelda like exploration. Overall Score: 8.3/10

Imagine we lived in an alternate timeline where 1986's [I]The Legend of Zelda was never released outside of Japan. Imagine also if you came across a rare copy as well as well as its original Japanese instruction booklet. You switch on the game and wander around a bit with no idea what you're supposed to be doing. You get frustrated after a while and put the game down. Some time later, you open up the instruction booklet out of curiosity. Obviously, you can't decipher any of the Japanese text (minus the occasional English word sprinkled here and there, as often happens in Japanese media), but you find yourself enjoying the beautiful hand-drawn illustrations that adorn many of the pages. Most of then are promotional; Link fingting monsters, traveling across mountains, scenes from before the game's beginning, etc. Soon, you find one of the illustrations depict Link placing a bomb against a wall, revealing a hidden cave entrance, something you didn't even know was a mechanic before now. You even recognize some of the features in the background as being from a screen in the game's overworld. You boot the game up again, go back to that screen, and sure enough, the bomb you place opens up a cave that leads to one of the dungeons. As you continue playing, you notice other hints in the booklet that help you progress. You begin to realize that this game was made back in an age where instruction booklets weren't obligatory accessories, but meant to be your indispensable guide through the game. The language barrier puts you at a disadvantage, so you must use your deductive reasoning to try and figure out what you're supposed to be doing. The result is a wonderful, immersive experience that challenges your mind as much as your skills. The dungeons and difficult bosses are rewarding on their own, but decyphering the booklet's cryptic hints make you feel like Indiana Jones uncovering the forgotten secrets of an ancient civilization. This is the experience Tunic sets out to create. It can be thought of as a metroidvania, except it is knowledge that unlocks the way forward instead of just powerups. Sadly, this means the game is really only playable once, as the experience is lost if the player isn't completely blind and uninformed. Is that worth $30 to you? As I write, I cannot think of any other game that correctly re-reates the experience Tunic does. Plenty of games use classic art styles, or revive older genres, but none of them so accurately simulate the sense of wonder and mystery that was only possible back in the pre-gamefaqs age of gaming. I do highly recommend Tunic for those who are open to a mental challenge. However, maybe wait for a sale to make up for the game's un-replayability

Tunic is highly recommended, but definitely not for everyone. While it's best to go in as blind as possible, you should be aware of what you’re getting into. Tunic is a Zelda-inspired, soulslike game with Metroidvania elements. Though the combat and exploration are large parts of the game, it's the puzzles that truly make the experience great. Before getting into that, let’s talk about the main game itself. Tunic is based very heavily around your intuition. There is almost no hand-holding; you're expected to figure things out on your own. This includes not only the story and your objectives but also the game's mechanics. While much of the work is placed on the player, the game does offer some guidance: a big part of Tunic involves collecting pages for the in-game manual, which is fragmented and largely written in a strange runic language. It's up to you to piece together the context and make sense of it. Like most Metroidvanias, you acquire items that help you progress, but often, you'll discover that you could have advanced earlier if only you had understood or known some element sooner. There is no set path; most of the world is open to you, and the challenge lies in figuring out what to do next. This is the core of Tunic: most progression comes from you, the player, understanding something new about the game. Alongside this, Tunic features more standard gameplay elements typical of soulslike games. Much of the main gameplay consists of dodging enemy attacks, weaving in your own, exploring areas, finding hidden paths, and facing difficult bosses. While the combat can be engaging, it sometimes feels like a chore where you hit the enemy roll away and wait your turn and repeat ad nauseum. Certain areas are brutally difficult, especially early on when you might wander into challenging areas prematurely. Some encounters shift from nearly impossible to surprisingly easy once you figure out the right strategy. Despite these frustrations, the combat is still solid and enjoyable. However, it’s not what makes Tunic truly special. What sets this game apart is the puzzles. There's almost always more than meets the eye, and the most memorable moments come from solving these challenges. The puzzles are based heavily on intuition and keen observation. Games that emphasize cryptic puzzles can often leave players feeling lost; this does happen in Tunic, but generally, the game does an excellent job of subtly guiding you in the right direction, though it often requires effort and attention on your part. The difficulty of some puzzles should not be underestimated; you WILL get stuck, but every challenge IS solvable on your own. I would recommend using as little outside help as possible; solving things on your own feels immensely rewarding, though some elements may require a significant, sometimes absurd, time investment. So, you should try to persevere, but you shouldn't be ashamed to consult a guide if you truly are lost. Additionally the graphics are great, the sound design and music is great, and the design for the ingame manual is really cool. Tunic isn’t for everyone, but for those who have the patience and a willingness to embrace its odd features, it can be a truly phenomenal experience.

I have never played a game that made me so eager to grind or spend an entire evening trying to beat a boss. Normally, I am the kind of player who gives up quickly when things get too difficult, but I simply could not stop playing this game. From the very beginning, you are dropped into a mysterious world with no instructions. You do not understand the language, and it is up to you to figure out the mechanics on your own. What is truly astonishing is that almost everything you need to know is there from the start. You just do not realize it immediately. The way the game reveals its secrets slowly, allowing you to connect the dots at your own pace, is absolutely incredible. It reminds me a lot of Outer Wilds. Just like that game, Tunic is best experienced completely blind. Go in without spoilers, trust your instincts, and be ready to keep trying. The challenge is real, but the sense of discovery and accomplishment makes every effort feel worthwhile. I cannot recommend it enough. This game is truly unforgettable. I will miss you, little fox.

This is pure gaming right here, folks. It's similar to Outer Wilds in how the game operates on a knowledge-based system. The boss battles were okay, but the exploration and puzzles... I simply can't tell how fantastic they are without revealing too much. Avoid detailed reviews and spoilers, and you will experience the greatest unique adventure. 11/10, can't wait for Alzheimer's to kick in so I can replay the game again. Golden path awaits me
