    Wavetale is an astonishingly charming game with movement controls and visuals like nothing I've experienced. It's a joyful 3D platforming experience, if not a little short.

    Wavetale’s forgiving platforming and trivial combat arguably make the game a bit too easy, but its thoughtful narrative and gorgeous world will keep you happily glued to the screen throughout the entirety of its brief duration.

    With Wavetale, Thunderful have managed to put a unique spin on post-apocalyptic worlds through its joyful tone, characters, style and more, making one want to spend as much time in it as possible and discover every sight to see. Of course, it helps that zipping around on the water is fun and makes for terrific gameplay, and the platforming easily evokes the classics. Audiences both young and old should give this a chance, as it’s a terrific action/adventure game with a lot of heart that shouldn’t just be ignored like mere flotsam.

    Wavetale is only four hours long and can be too one-note for its own good, but a captivating world and resonant story make it worth playing all the same.

    Wavetale was fun to play. The story is about pollution. It is aim mainly to a younger audience. Surfing/jumping is the most fun part of thisWavetale was fun to play. The story is about pollution. It is aim mainly to a younger audience. Surfing/jumping is the most fun part of this game. Fighting is quite basic and a one button affair. There is no upgrades or items. You have an economy but it's only to buy aesthetic stuff. Quite useless and broken (too much money/lighting). The direction indicator only points out the main quest. There are some side quest but the rewards are not interesting. I like the graphics, but the art style of the characters and their expression, is a hit and miss. Around the ending you begin to have camera glitch and jerking. The music is good. I give it 70%. A game of 4 hours that was fun but has it's flaw. Full Review »
