I just completed the main game yesterday and I agree 100% with everything in this review, including the criticism about the late game. I will add that, while the classic Zelda and Souls comparisons are apt enough, I would also say there's a bit of the Outer Wilds spirit in there, in that often a "key item" isn't really an "item" at all, but newly gained knowledge that, by virtue of having ascertained it, allows you to explore the world in new ways. And if you haven't played Outer Wilds, definitely do so!

Great review! Pretty much agree on every point. Though I will say the "true" ending kinda-sorta has some more narrative content. No combat yes, which is a shame. But there is a bit of story being told in that ending and it makes you ask more questions. More importantly though there's technically still more to do. While not an "ending" there's the even harder puzzles that lead to you needing to figure out the language and the reward is small but pretty powerful I'd say!

I loved Tunic, but it was hard for me to describe what I loved about it without feeling like I was spoiling them. It's one of those games, like The Witness, where when you know, you know. But to me even saying that is too much. I'm glad that I played the game day one, because I knew nothing. Nothing other than the combat system and very general world exploration. The first manual piece I got I was like, "oh, really cool way to do a tutorial, wow". But when I got a piece a little later I was like :O this isn't simply a tutorial... and the revelation of finding out how to pass a roadblock due to an ability I always had but didn't know. It was made all the better not knowing what to expect. Finding manual pages was the main goal for me to be honest. That and the whole "golden path" thing was too cool finding out about naturally. This is one of those games that I can never have that first experience again. Replaying the game right after beating it was its own reward for sure, but it'll never be the same when you know how it all works. I spoiled myself on The Witness and can't play it now, because the joy is in discovering it yourself; it's an element of the game design. Playing it after knowing all of that feels like starting a game like Terraria with free golden gear or something, if that makes sense. But that's why I say that replay value doesnt decide a game's value, not that replay value is a bad thing to have to be clear. Just that despite the fact that I'll never be able to relive even a fraction of what I liked about Tunic future playthroughs of it, I will stand by how good I think it is. I like games with plenty of replay value, but there will always be an appeal for these one-playthrough only games as well. Even if my personal enjoyment would have easily been diminished be it for one of those silly KZitem thumbnails that always put spoilers on it.

I attempted the final boss and got my teeth kicked in more times than I'd care to admit. I then went into puzzle solving mode, got the all pieces I needed to get the true ending, decided to fight the last boss because I knew in my heart what was going to happen. So I did both endings within minutes of each other. Still, I agree that a final encounter, or something very challenging on top of the golden path to test everything that you've learned in the game would have been more satisfying. But I'm not displeased at all with what Tunic presented. It's a very satisfying game and a breath of fresh air amongst other available titles. Such an unassuming game with so much to say. I'd give it a solid 9/10 with my little nit picks and a 10/10 for the heart put into it.

I recently played Tunic, and I actually managed to work out the Golden Path puzzle. But the reward for that, and that it implied 20x as much work as I put into the Golden Path...I was just demoralised. I went to try the bad ending, and it was insanely hard of course, so I ended up just looking it up. I'm actually *glad* I looked up the endings, and so I'd say that your point about the lack of rewards in the endgame/true ending is the biggest let down for me. Having seen both endings, I'd have been honestly a bit angry if I had gone through all that work for...that. I would still recommend this game to people though, because of the rest of it.

Started this like a week ago. having a blast with the exploration and puzzle solving but the bosses feel so... bad? Maybe im just spoiled by monster hunter and some other games but man every time i ran into a boss i wasnt looking forward to a fun fight, but almost wanted to turn the other way and go somewhere else. Dodging their attacks wasnt difficult, they didnt have any complex attack patterns. its just start move, end move, start next move, repeat. And many of them didnt feel punishable because of the AI's insistence to run away from me. It just became a game of using my MP to either directly damage or to extend/create openings, but once that is empty it just turns into waiting for a damage opening or for the boss to spawn some small enemys to get some MP back. The most interesting way they challenged me was with stamina constraints but overall i really didnt like them. And i think all of this would have been fine if the game wasnt trying so hard to make the bosses challenging. A bad boss that dies quickly and easily isnt gonna sting so hard. But one that is challenging me in what i find to be some of the worst ways i can think of? That is gonna leave a mark Edit: This reads like i hate this game. NO, i actually really like it. Its because i like it that the bad stuff annoys me so much xD

Agreed with the review. I got spoiled on the game quite early on by accident but I still had a blast of a time with the puzzles, music and everything else. However, there's something missing here, what you have put in this review is everything involving the mainstory and it's endings and yet I'm a bit miffed about not making a side glance at the crazier secrets involving the more important set of optional collectables that not only involve puzzles as crazy as the last one for the true ending but send you down a rabbit hole of the same quality to the Red Cubes of FEZ. I'm gonna keep it at that, won't tell what to do or what you find along the way, just be warned that if you liked the complexity of the true ending's final puzzle then It's probable you'll like the more obscure, harder puzzles hidden in the game. TLDR, the spoiler I got was involving how to start using the Holy Cross and the only other thing I spoiled myself with was with that one water reflection puzzle in that room.

I loved Tunic as well, but I have an additional complain related to the difficulty curve. The game, generally speaking, is not very challenging when it comes to the combat. It's no pushover either, but it's about in line with a Zelda game. Except the boss fights. Those are tuned way harder than needed, and the fight at the bottom of the last dungeon (phrasing it like that to avoid spoilers) is also similarly a huge spike. I wouldn't mind if the game was hard all the way through or easy all the way through, but those overtuned boss fights really hamper my enjoyment and I imagine they will prevent many less-skilled players from experiencing the wonderful puzzle content the game has to offer.

Before we finished I decided to try to fully translating the manual so I spent a few hours on that.

I share a lot of the sentiment with the end-game. I was not at all ready for the transition from a action adventure with light puzzles to a puzzle game. I played the game blind up to the final boss, but sadly ended up giving in and got some help for the puzzle section. I didn't spoil the whole thing for myself, and I was able to solve the final puzzle mostly on my own, but that experience left a sour taste in my mouth. I desperately wished I hadn't used a guide, but I really lost patience sitting there flipping through the guidebook not sure what to do, and some of the puzzles felt really obtuse. I wish this game existed in a world without the internet. I also agree the last section should have been better paced. I would be fine for a bigger focus on puzzles, but this should've been iterated with exploration and combat.

The Golden Path made me more excited than any game has made me ever before. Ever. I got out a pen and grid paper and started plotting it out, and following along. Finding fairies for the back cover was equally as great. I cant recommend this game enough

Have you tried translating the manual yet? 'Cause that was a blast once I had page 54 of the manual.

I literally started thinking today if I should buy tunic or Triangle Strategy before, lol

I enjoyed Tunic until about 70% of the way through; at some point shortly after discovering the "Holy Cross" and doing those puzzles I just found them to be tedious. I personally didn't feel like a genius when I solved the "Golden Path" puzzle, as -- by that point -- I completely understood what I had to do, and so it just felt like a grueling time-sink. I really think the manual pretty much tells you exactly what you should be doing at any given point, even with regards to the "Golden Path." Some of the puzzles (especially the wind chimes) were interesting ideas, but were minimally fun to actually complete. ( I will admit I did feel a tad smart when I realized what I had to do for that particular puzzle, though actually doing it was super tedious.) I also appreciate that this game has several invented languages, and that's a big-brain kind of flex -- especially the tone-based "Tuneic" language spoken by the fairies, used on the main menu screen, etc. -- but those things don't make the game itself any better or more fun as a game; they just serve to bleed the game world into our world, which is neat, but it would have been nice if (and maybe it just hasn't been discovered yet how) it altered the actual game-play experience. I didn't bother to translate the Truenic language, and honestly don't feel like I missed-out on anything the game had to offer as a result. Overall I think this game is worth playing, but in the end the "Holy Cross" overstays its welcome, and some of the game's ideas feel like they get in the way of the actual game.

Agreed, the game is certainly good but is generally too repetitive/padded. I got pretty tired of the exploration/backtracking/combat towards the end, and then hooked again by the concept of the Golden Path, then bored by how much of it was just "go to this page and look for a pattern". I think if the game was shorter, keeping its most unique ideas and discarding the fat, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

Those who "beat" this game think that they are playing an Action Adventure Game. Those who "complete" this game *KNOW* that they are playing an Augmented Reality Game. The writen language of Trunic requires a Subreddit to figure out. The *SPOKEN* language of Tuneic requires a Spectrometer to figure out. (The Fairy trapped in the Fairy Fountain has unique dialog filled with spoilers, BTW.) The Tower tied to the Treasure Room is a *LITERAL* ARG. And the True Ending is sharing all you have learned, and breaking a cycle of systemic generational violence. ...or something like that. 🤔

Bro... you need to discuss the lore of this game because HOLY FUCKING SHIT... Also, I don't know if this game actually takes any inspiration from it, but playing thru it reminded me somewhat of Brave Fencer Musashi too, especially with the first two legitimate bosses with the large health bars and the idea that you're actually kinda working against yourself the whole time.

I find the game to be a bit more frustrating than my experience with dark souls to be honest but everything else about the game so far has been really good. Particularly my frustration comes from the camera as grinding up against a wall to find a pathway I can’t see overstayed it’s welcome and lost the charm of finding a secret very quickly.

On paper this sounds like a winner but the art style personally puts me off. Can't put my finger on it, it just looks kinda drab and generic.

I played tunic earlier this month, it is by far my favorite indie game. The gimmick of the strange language and the game manual combined with genuinely great level and boss design kept me interested the entire time.

yeah, the badge system is great. I've really enjoyed it so far but theres one issue I have. As much fun as it is figuring out what each badge does, I am probably not going to use them that often because the scavenger's mask looks *so god damn cute on the fox.* I am still gonna try and figure out what each badge does but I am going to wear that adorable little mask everywhere, even into the final boss fight and theres nothing that can stop me (unless theres a specific badge need to access it or something lol) edit: found out what the gold coins do :3

I heard good things about this game being one of the top indies you must play(so I did since it was on gamepass) and after experiencing it for myself I can see why. The music is beautiful and calming. Now the combat can be a bit frustrating since you need to press LB (in Xbox)to change weapons or use consumables. I wish there was a better way to implement inputs while in combat without going into the menu and switching your shortcuts constantly. I also experienced getting stuck in the environment quite a few times and sometimes the path wasn't very clear when going under hidden areas. The blue gem took me the longest to uncover and the last boss was brutal LOL. Other than that exploration is amazing in this game and the manual has everything you need to figure out your journey Absolutely a gem.

I'm glad they patched the game to allow you to fight the final boss no matter what. They listened to the criticism that some would miss out otherwise. Me, I got the ending for fighting the boss first. And I don't know if it was just me, but it was one of the hardest bosses I ever fought in a game. I had more trouble with it than most Souls bosses, more trouble than stuff like Absolute Radiance in Hollow Knight. Beating it was so rewarding, yet left me so exhausted that I was happy only non-combat post game content was left afterward. It felt amazing and rewarding to get to flex my brain to solve the final puzzle, instead of having to test my combat skills like in the rest of the game. It was interesting to hear from someone who got the endings in the opposite order from me though. Again, it does make me very happy they patched in an option to do the fight no matter what, if you so choose.
