A 3D platformer with some very interesting storytelling and mechanics. As you surf along the waves, jump and race, you'll find it all works out in the end... probably. About 5 hours to 100*%. + Well crafted story and characters. + The drawn facial animations are adorable. + The dynamic music is great! + Very smooth movement over waves and land. + Cute sidequests. - The 'interruptions' of the tutorial are a bit annoying. - A fast-travel system would have been nice. - Side-quest items only exist after you get the quest. - When quitting, it should show how long ago your latest auto-save was. All in all an experience well worth having, a hearty recommend from me, yarr! --- *The last achiement is slightly broken, which took a little longer: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1823930/discussions/0/591761879137787368/

Experienced on the Meta Quest 3 You can view my 3D in VR gameplay here: https://youtu.be/ggVR0BXpqRk Yes, you can play Wavetale in 3D in VR using the completely free Geo-11 3D mod (search for it). You can then view the 3D in VR using an app such as Virtual Desktop Streamer for the Meta Quest 3. By default it is SBS 3D, but I used TAB 3D for ease of use. Game works almost flawless in 3D in VR thanks to the specific 3D fix for the game. Thanks to all who worked on it. Game art-style fits perfectly with 3D in VR. If you're not familiar with it, it's like playing a game in a 3D movie theatre. Gamepad is recommended, motion controllers are not supported. 3D in VR Rating 9/10. I bought this game!

Combine the art direction of Wind Waker, the combat and platforming of the SpongeBob games, add a grappling hook straight out of the Arkham series, and finish it off with the fluid movement of Echo, and you’ve got Wavetale. It’s an adventure/platformer with a touching story and solid mechanics, though they unfortunately stay the same throughout, offering little sense of progression since your abilities never really evolve. Even so, it remains consistently fun perhaps a bit too easy but the sense of speed you get from surfing across the waves is both thrilling and soothing in equal measure.

Fun little game, with really well put together mobility. It feels really good to dart around on the waves. It's not overly long but that can be nice in the sense that it doesn't overstay it's time.

🌊 Wavetale Review 🦀 A heartwarming story, though quite sad at times. You play as Sigrid, on a mission to help save your world, a world mostly swallowed by water, beautifully brought to life with a lovely, stylised art although it is dark and gloomy. Along the way, you’ll meet a range of characters, some you’ll help, others you’ll simply listen to as they share bits of the world’s history before it fell into darkness. Between story moments, you’ll be zipping across the waves, jumping through sea-bound obstacles to get from place to place with ease and honestly, that was a big part of the fun. The game’s movement is brilliant. Jumping, speeding about, powering through hoops, or even fighting shadowy creatures — it all feels fluid and satisfying. I spent loads of time just enjoying the sheer freedom of wizzing around the water. You’re also joined by a mysterious companion who helps with your water-based abilities, and they have their own touching story that unfolds as you play. There’s more than just the main story too you’ve got side quests and even time-based races. (I never did find Jack’s Axe — I searched high and low!) Customisation is a nice touch as well. You can change your outfit, hairstyle, and even wear a stylish hat there’s actually a good variety, and you unlock more as you progress. I had a great time with Wavetale. I only wish it had lasted a bit longer. That said, the ending hints that the adventure might not be over perhaps a sequel is on the horizon? Either way, it wrapped up beautifully. Enjoy surfing the waves! 🏄🏼‍♀️ Tip: If you want to find more reviews like this, check out our curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41527689/]Moon's Tea House
