“Yes, this game has the single worst parry mechanic conceived in a video game, period. You are a cute fox with a stubby sword, somehow meant to fight enemies that run away from you, ah, yes, the classic approach to…”

“The idea is cute, the implementation is not. The exploration part of the game feels nice, the game looks cute, and the idea of explaining everything via an "unknown language manual" is cool. It is at some points…”

“What a cool game. I would describe it initially as a mix of old Zelda with a lot of things that remind me of Hyper Light Drifter. Also, the language experience made me think a lot of my days as a kid playing games on an…”

“tldr: Art, sound, and world design 10/10. Puzzles, exploration, and mystery/story 8/10. Mechanics 4/10. pros: Art and sound design are 10x better than any AAA game I've played in the last 5 years. I really can't stress…”

“TUNIC is a brilliant piece of art and a love letter to pre-internet video games with excellent music, vibes, art style, story, and gameplay. The exploration and puzzles are fun and challenging, and there are tons of…”

“I like Zelda games but this one didn't click. The combat is more clunky than Link's Awakening on GB, the music is grating after 5 minutes and the concept of deciphering glyphs to understand what you're doing is not for…”

“Tunic is a great game and it sells a very unique experience. Its a game about solving (mostly) fun puzzles with some solid "zelda"-like combat. But there is twist - you cant read 90% of in-game text as its written in…”

“I really don't care for TUNIC's cheeky, video-gamey antagonism towards the player, which I understand is common in soulslikes. It isn't that the game is overwhelmingly difficult, although it does emphasize fairly narrow…”

“It's a Zelda like game, but without a guide it's impossible to finish it. I got stuck in the story multiple times, and that wouldn't be such an issue if the game provide some kind of understandable tips about how to…”

“I considered myself finished the game even though I know it's not 100%. I walked the golden path 99% by myself, except some place where it's bugged and one skull was visually missing. There are just too much secrets,…”

“I absolutely loved this game in the beginning. I loved how puzzles, enemies and the story harkened to Legend of Zelda. It was the Zelda elements that made the first half of the game not need additional explanations for…”

“Forcing sprint to be mapped to interact is perhaps the worst control decision I have seen in any game ever. And for a game that seems to want to be played on a controller, this is egregious.”

“It's good, but the boss fights can be frustrating. Mainly because you move too slow, unlike the bosses.”
