    Going to give Tunic a 7. Why? Let me explain..

    The visual and music in this game are beautuful, I adore both. The main character looks good. The presentation as a whole is great, but I'm tired of these hard for the sake of hard games. Tunic is a very difficult and the devs know this as they put a "No fail mode" option in the options, which is invincibilty. A lot of these indie games are    Going to give Tunic a 7. Why?

    The visual and music in this game are beautuful, I adore both. The main character looks good. The presentation as a whole is great, but I'm tired of these hard for the sake of hard games. Tunic is a very difficult and the devs know this as they put a "No fail mode" option in the options, which is invincibilty. A lot of these indie games are putting this option in nowadays.

    But I'm going to talk about this without acknowledging that no fail mode. Enemies can hit hard and relentlessly. Near the end of the game enemies can drain your maximum HP to nothing with some sort of poison or something. The bosses are difficult also and the combat can be a little sluggish. It does try to be Dark Souls in a way, but it's a bit....Slow.

    I like the in game language, but don't like how you can't eventyally get something to translate it, which means you get items, but you have no idea what they d until you use them. Some you can tell what they are like bombs, but the items, which are sort of like the rings from the souls games, you have no idea what they do or what their effects are. I think the dev should have makde it slightly easier to tell what things are and even where to go, as the game never really gives you any direction.

    Like I said, the visuals and music are great and I've only given it the 7 due to the invincibility option. In truth, I would have scored this lower if it was non-existant as it is just too hard, even for a souls vet.

    Slightly disappointing as I was so hyped for this when I first saw it years ag at E3. It's on Game Pass, so try it yourself any way. It's not a bad game, just unbalanced.    … Expand

    Es un juego bello y muy bien hecho pero algo que no me a gustado es el hecho de que casi no sabes lo que tienes que hacer :'3

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a great game until the part in the cathedral where you have to run a ridiculous gauntlet of 6 bs swarm enemies with like 2 health - seriously awful design decision that made me nope out of the game… Expand

    Tunic es un juego precioso. La dirección de arte es única y la música te transporta directamente a su mundo.

    Mecánicamente es una mezcla entre los Zelda antiguos en 2D y la saga Soul. El resultado es un juego que encuentra una identidad propia fusionando estas dos sagas tan queridas y importando algo muy original: el manual de instrucciones. Dicho manual, es la base del juego debido a que    Tunic es un juego precioso. La dirección de arte es única y la música te transporta directamente a su mundo.

    Mecánicamente es una mezcla entre los Zelda antiguos en 2D y la saga Soul. El resultado es un juego que encuentra una identidad propia fusionando estas dos sagas tan queridas y importando algo muy original: el manual de instrucciones. Dicho manual, es la base del juego debido a que el juego nunca te dice que hacer o cómo funcionan sus mecánicas, y es gracias a que recoges hojas dispersas del manual que tendrás una idea de lo que debes hacer. Descifrar el manual es tan bien una de sus virtudes, ya que mayormente te tendrás que guiar por las imágenes debido a la carencia de textos legibles en el.

    Sin embargo Tunic falla en lo que supuestamente debería ser su baza: la exploración. Ya hacer un juego críptico es una experiencia refrescante y desafiante pero si a eso le añades un cámara que esconde gran parte de sus secretos te queda una experiencia que juega con la frustración y el tiempo de sus jugadores. Y es que para acceder a muchas áreas, hay caminos literalmente invisibles para los cuales no hay ninguna guía visual de ningún tipo. Así que la única opción es l constante prueba y error así como deambular por su mundo sin ninguna dirección.

    Esto va en contra de la propia alma del juego ya que se supone que el jugador debería descifrar poco a poco el mundo mediante las páginas del manual y no, tener que buscar una guía en internet.    … Expand

    Tunic had a lot to live up to after years of built up expectation, and it doesn’t just meet them, it shatters them and stands out as one of the most joyous gaming experiences I’ve had in years. It takes a little while to feel at home in Tunic’s gorgeously rendered world, but once it clicks and the secrets of the masterfully constructed in-game manual start to reveal themselves, the resulting game is up there with the likes of Zelda in terms of exploration and discoveries.

    Tunic is one of the biggest surprises this year will offer, with a beautiful world to explore, a perfect soundtrack and a gameplay that, with its flaws, will give tons of hours of enjoying.

    There is much more to Tunic than what meets the eye. Just be ready for a challenge.
