Developer TUNIC Team
Tunic is a 2022 action-adventure game developed by Isometricorp Games and published by Finji. It is set in a ruined fantasy world, where the player controls an anthropomorphic fox on a journey to free a fox spirit trapped in a crystal. The player discovers the gameplay and setting by exploring and finding in-game pages of a manual that offers clues, drawings, and notes. The backstory is obscured; most text is given… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

My original review for Tunic was positive, but I've decided that I shouldn't just say what I feel like I'm "supposed" to say about the game. This is MY review and I'm going to leave MY opinions. THIS IS A DARK SOULS GAME IN ZELDA DRAG . The Steam tags are not there to be pedantic. This is not a game like Cuphead or the N. Sane Trilogy where people used "like Dark Souls" as a synonym for "difficult." This is a …

Tunic is an endearing and interesting game that won’t be for everyone, but will be a mind-blowing experience for others. The main “gimmick” of Tunic is the fact that you start with no knowledge about the game. The controls, your goals, the story, your capabilities, and the world map are all things you need to slowly piece together by collecting the game manual, of which you’ll find pieces in-game as you progress. …

Tunic is, without exaggeration, one of the finest games I have ever played, and it contains some of the best puzzles I have ever had the pleasure of being defeated by. At first glance it presents itself as a small, bright isometric adventure: a little fox, a sword, a sprawling coastline of ruins. What it actually is takes rather longer to dawn on you. Scattered through the world are the pages of an instruction …

This game is 90% masterpiece and 10% the most atrociously bad combat system I have ever experienced. I recommend playing without any spoilers or guides. You only get to play it for the first time once. Do NOT put this game down and pick it up again two weeks later - you'll forget important things. Don't be afraid to use the reduced difficulty and no fail options in settings to get past bosses. I can tell you I …

83% of the 278 Steam reviewers we collected recommend TUNIC. The complaint that keeps coming up: combat is tedious and frustrating. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Tunic received "generally favorable reviews", according to the review aggregator Metacritic. It was ranked as one of the top 30 games of 2022 by aggregated score for Windows, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5, and the eighth-highest scored Switch game. Tunic was featured in several game of the year lists for 2022, including overall game of the year by VG247 and indie game of the year by Shacknews. Critics highly praised the gameplay, though some aspects had a mixed reception. Several reviewers described the combat as challenging but satisfying; 'Indee' of Jeuxvideo.com concluded that Shouldice had tried and succeeded to make the game difficult enough to make the player feel unwelcome in…

So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕 give.translifeline.org

neutral · AI labelView post →Got both endings (and collected all fairies) in Tunic. Very, very clever game. Encountered some bugs and some combat-related nitpicks, but the focus (the mystery and puzzles/riddles) was almost universally expertly executed. Play if you haven't, preferrably blind.

positive · AI labelView post →16. Tunic I'm gonna say as little as possible about what makes this game so special, because a lot of Tunic's magic is in the joy of discovery, so you'll have forgive me if I seem vague and tell you to trust me, but... Trust me on this. Play Tunic. I won't elaborate.

positive · AI labelView post →24. Tunic I could describe Tunic as a beautiful isometric Zeldaesque game with a great soundtrack, but that sells short what is a singularly unique experience, because I don't want to spoil elements of how Tunic explains itself that are an absolute joy. So just trust me on this one, play Tunic.
positive · AI labelView post →19. Tunic This game is genuinely magical, as you progress you find pages from a manual that's lovingly designed to replicate old videogame manuals, which gives you clues on how to progress. Tunic has such a joy of discovery woven into its design. store.steampowered.com/app/553420/T...

neutral · AI labelView post →The exploration part is great and you can tell there was a lot of love put into this game. The way you keep discovering abilities you had since the beginning is especially clever. I'm not trying to say it's a bad game, simply that I did not have fun playing it personally and that you should be aware of the kind of game that Tunic is. It gets really hard. You're meant to die, and retry until you've learnt the whole section and can execute it perfectly. I ended up being more frustrated than…

I didn't enjoy the more soulslike parts of it, like the Scavenger Boss or the Cathedral gauntlet, but you can see how much love was poured into it, and the Golden Path puzzle was fantastic.

Then give me a dedicated run button and don't waste my time! I quit the game, ready to give it my just verdict. I read this review and a few others, then I booted up the game…
