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!… Expand

    Cool looks, nice pace, some puzzles are super frustrating as require a lot of precision. So many developers nowadays completely ignore accessibility options..

    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 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!

    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.
