    The Touryst is an absolutely great game with a lot to do during its playtime. The mini games are diverse and fun enough that I would come take the challenge again. The story, while barebones, is quirky enough to hold my interest with a twist that I can say I didn’t expect. This will be a game I make a return visit to.

    How nice that this game is now available on more systems. The Touryst might be only a “small” adventure, but it is imaginative and thoroughly adorable.

    The Touryst is a great little vacation simulator with clean cube graphics, a fun little plotline, and plenty of minigames to check out. It’s a “byte” sized game that is good “bit” of fun.

    The Touryst was a joy to play. It’s fun, calming, and simple. The puzzles can sometimes be tough to figure out, but it is satisfying when you solve it. It’s not long at about 5-7 hours to complete and it’s currently on Gamepass, so if you’re a subscriber give it a go!

You are a tourist. You've gone on vacation on a pack of tropical islands, each with their own secrets. Oozing with its own unique personality, The Touryst is a quaint and intriguing game. You hop from Island to Island, partying enjoying local drinks and uncovering the long lost secrets of the Islands. Each of the Islands has its own personality, and may things to do, from helping a DJ get his party bumping, to uncovering hidden coins. Then on each Island, you dive into a Monument, with puzzles and really neat boss battles. The boss battles really aren't battles, but moving puzzles. Figuring out what you have to do next can sometimes get a little frustrating, but if you look around, the answers are right there in front of you. The camera control takes a little getting used to, as your zoom and height are linked. Explore, rest in a chair and admire the ocean, or search for all the floating bottles. There pace here isn't fast, as you move at one speed, this is a vacation after all. The Touryst may not be a huge game, but it packs a lot into the package it delivers. If you want a game where you can take your time, and explore to your heart's content, then you should pick this title up!… Full Review »

SuUn gran juego para pasar un fin de semana, The touryst es un juego sencillo con una historia sencilla, aunque con un giro...drástico . Su gamplay es adictivo y el juego se puede terminar alrededor de 6 a 8 horas (si te llevas tranquilo). Definitivamente algo muy recomendable, y mas si tienes Gamepass.… Full Review »
