    This game is horrible. I instantly disliked it. It's like they combined Oceanhorn with Ys and made a terrible mess of it.

    The gameworld looks horrible and the music doesn't fit and another loose ploddy character. It's just ugly and unlikeable.

    I can guarantee hardcore gamers a right challenge if they try figure out the path to progress by just utilizing the in-game book which you build up by collecting the pages throughout the world. I however found the clues and hints too daunting when trying to figure out how to get the some areas and had a youtube stream open next to me to find the way forward.

    I kid you not.....you could literally play this game without ever know how to find your sword and shield...no guidance or hints...after about 2 hours of fumbling about with a wooden stick I had to go to youtube for help on getting my sword and shield.

    Use your shield...it is the pathway to winning most boss fights, especially the final one. The shield is immensely powerful and can tank almost all blows.

    This game was a pleasure to play, don't miss it.    … Expand

    A beautiful game that draws you in and lets you puzzle out what's going on with gently guiding level design and dozens of hidden secrets. The depth of this game is incredible, the combat challenging and overall it was a joy to play.

    I much more enjoyed my experience on Death's Door, to quote a game which shares many similarities with Tunic. Death's Door is an example of a game where the learning curve is just perfect and where dying never feels unfair.
    I think Tunic is overrated and games should never be reserved for elite hardcore gamers. It's not just a matter of patience, some gamers just can't spend countless hours in the same game hoping that success will eventually come...

    The very cool soundtrack and the visuals in the game are simply at the highest level, however, there are minor problems with the combat system. The hero is not very mobile, and often, boss battles are very difficult, not because the bosses are difficult, but because you don’t get into the timings as a game, and it’s forgiven the bosses, and the damage always goes through you. And the shield blocks damage only from one enemy, and from the other on the side, at least a couple of degrees - no.

    But it was not this that killed me in the game, but getting the second, true ending. The first one is false, but to get the second one, I can assure you that you will have to read and watch a lot of guides on YouTube. But it's worth it, although puzzles for superintelligent beings. I recommend in general, Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand

    Déjà vu. Tunic is yet another indie action-adventure game with an isometric perspective and a likeness to Zelda and the Souls games, coming right off the heals of last year’s Death’s Door. Like that game, I don’t find much of Tunic to be especially exceptional and parts of it are frustrating or unpolished. Still, I think Tunic has a leg up on Death’s Door in a number of respects.

Like that game, I don’t find much of Tunic to be especially exceptional and parts of it are frustrating or unpolished. Still, I think Tunic has a leg up on Death’s Door in a number of respects. The game isn’t as formulaic or pastiche. With less of an emphasis on combat and even puzzle-solving (for whatever little puzzling Death’s Door has) and a greater focus on exploration, Tunic finds a better moment-to-moment balance in its pacing. No area of idea overstays its welcome. The crown achievement is the in-game manual, pages of which are scattered about the world. These pages fill in some clues about how to progress through the cryptic game with things like combat tips and dungeon maps. It’s a nice diegetic nod to the manuals and guides of old in the vein of the original The Legend of Zelda. Games like Fez and The Witness are clearly an inspiration here. Tunic gets a few other details right. The camera is more dynamic, especially during boss battles. You can’t walk off ledges to your death (although I somehow managed to do so accidentally just once). Dungeons are brisk and progression through them is fairly organic, with little in the way of keys or staged combat encounters. The world is compact and it doesn’t take too much time to get around even without the fast travel options that open up later on. The boss battles can be very tough though and the game is occasionally too cryptic for its own good, but usually only for non-essential things.… Expand

It wasn't too long until I had to use No Fail Mode, and thank god for its existence, otherwise I would've probably never finished this beautiful and intricate game. Although what I would have much preferred would have been some more difficulty options between "mind-numbingly hard" and "Kirby's Epic Yarn".

    But. nevertheless, exploring Tunic's fascinating world and uncovering its secrets was still a lot of fun, even with the challenge of combat completely removed. The concept of the manual is very intriguing and, if you like a good head-scratcher, you'll have something to chew on for days to come. Personally, I did most of the post-game stuff via guides, as I lacked the patience and keen perception needed to collect everything just from the cryptic hints in the manual alone.    … Expand

    The style, design, and implementation of the developers vision was all beautifully done. Collecting pages to build out the manual for maps, clues, and hints on where to go and how to play was wonderfully done. The combat was decent even if the attack and dodge animations ended up as a clunky combination that I never really got the hang of.

    An extraordinarily good puzzle/exploration game that's bogged down by clumsy combat, and difficulty ramps that will make you want to give up. It's a shame, this could have been one of the all-time great indies were it not for the combat.

    A few things out of the way first: the graphics, music, and aesthetic are fantastic. There's a very miniature/tilt-shift look to everything, and it's    An extraordinarily good puzzle/exploration game that's bogged down by clumsy combat, and difficulty ramps that will make you want to give up. It's a shame, this could have been one of the all-time great indies were it not for the combat.

    A few things out of the way first: the graphics, music, and aesthetic are fantastic. There's a very miniature/tilt-shift look to everything, and it's almost too cute. As the game progresses and you get deeper into the world, it does a great job of bringing you along with it. This game says very little to you, but still tells its story very well. It is clearly trying to drum up nostalgia for NES-era adventure games, and it nails it without being too on-the-nose. How it reveals things to you—both in story and in gameplay—is expertly done.

    This games puzzles aren't really puzzles in the traditional sense. It reveals things to you over time, but leaves it to you to realize that they have been revealed, and how to use what you've learned effectively. Its solutions are well hidden but not obtuse; I was able to complete the game with its "true" ending, and find many of its secrets without the use of any guides. The only cheating I did was to look up some things that would've required me writing down the solution myself, which would've been tedious but extremely on brand for the feeling the game was trying to evoke. Progression, puzzle-wise, this game is incredibly fair.

    What is less fair is the combat, which felt sluggish at best and infuriating at worst. While I feel most of what it required of the player was clear, actually accomplishing it meant grinding against enemies far too often, only winning due to what felt not like better execution but a better roll of the RNG. The difficulty didn't ramp linearly, but instead at steep cliffs requiring you to grind past them. A few times, it caused me to put the game down and I wasn't sure I was coming back. The combat is tedious in a different way from the puzzles: you need to sit through somewhat lengthy battles, and a few mistakes mean "start over". Any attempt to move through them faster will result in failure. None of this would necessarily be bad if it was fun, but there's nothing fun about it, again given the tedium plus feeling you won because of a lucky sequence of attacks.

    The combat would maybe even be fine, if they didn't unnecessarily stretch it out. There's a late-in-the-game "rush" you have to do against several waves of enemies, and it's incredibly unforgiving. This feels completely detached from the story, and feels like nothing more than an attempt to squeeze out some extra time out of the game. Up until that point I was willing to go along with it, but that made me just put the game into "no fail" mode to move forward. They could've skipped this and it would've made zero difference.

    Outside of combat, navigating the overworld was pretty unintuitive and takes way too long to become straightforward. Yet, you have to do it a lot. I wasted a significant amount of time just playing the "how do I get back to that spot" game, which isn't very fun nor interesting.

    Overall this game is really difficult to recommend to anyone: the extraordinarily punishing combat will alienate people looking for the excellent puzzle/exploration mechanics, yet the combat itself doesn't feel tidy, deep, nor interesting enough to make the more hardcore want to stick with it. The developers would've been better off scaling the combat back to let the great parts of the game really shine, but as it stands it's a game with too narrow of an audience. Huge bummer, really.    … Expand

    If you want to reach all the secrets, I recommend to have paper and pencil ready. You can play through it without many of the difficult puzzles. But if you want to go for everything yourself this needs time and is a great challenge. It is surprising how late i am in the game and still find out new mechanics.

    The game is obtuse by design. You loot items from chests and the game doesn't tell you what they are or what they do. You're forced to use them to find out. So you use it, and now you know what it does, but now you don't have it any more so getting the thing in the first place was pretty useless.

    The level design just sucks. Often paths between areas will be hidden by the game's own camera angles, again with the being obtuse by design. I was stuck in one area for close to an hour because the path to get out of the area was a ladder completely out of view of the game's camera.    … Expand

    This game takes me back to my childhood playing the Legend of Zelda. Beautiful graphics and smooth gameplay. The bosses can be really tough but fair. I like alot about this game but I don't care for the cryptic language. Other than that though it's a gem and well worth your time.

    Bajo su aparente sencillez y mecánicas convencionales, Tunic constituye una verdadera celebración a la sensación de "descubrimiento" escasa en los videojuegos. No rinde tributo únicamente a Zelda sino a Fez. Su mundo es un gran candado cuyo cerrojo va destrabándose lentamente. Imperdible

Little Fox knows more than he lets on (when he walks and turns his head in a different direction it means there is something there). Cyptic achievements (you have to learn to interpret the lines to execute them and to know where to execute them). Manual pages are collectibles that are useful for something. It's on Xbox Game Pass, so try it out without fear.

    The bad:
    Very short. Difficult achievements. After exploring everything in a first session and knowing certain secrets, there is no more motivation than completing the Achievements and still thinking about it. The bosses are brutal. Difficult and cryptic achievements to get inconsequential and useless trophies.

    Lo Meh!:
    The manual gives you some brutal spoilers, but you don't understand them or you're not looking at it right. Foxy Zelda/Furry Zelda starts like that in Zelda Like, but as you progress and experiment you see that it is much more than Zelda, becoming a unique platformer, a puzzle game or a Boss Rush. No matter what version of the game you've played previously, it will show you that there is much more under that cover of Zorro Zelda (becoming Fez or Tron or with references to FF7).    … Expand

Tunic does bring much exploration aspects from Botw, but that's not a bad thing at all. I highly recomend anyone with Xbox game pass tô try out Tunic!

That is to say, some folks get frustrated in a hurry if it's not made clear right away what the next step is. Indeed, Tunic could and should be labelled downright cryptic. In my case, though, I can savor a mystery. And I don't mind a game that demands I stop to use my own deductive abilities to piece things together with only barely enough information to go on. It lets me feel like I'm outwitting the game, while beneath the surface the game is quietly rooting for me to succeed. Each obscure clue and baffling moment serves as an opportunity for a gratifying epiphany. If you are like me and you vibe with that sort of thing, I think that Tunic will be an unforgettable experience for you. It is a game that truly transcends the sum of its parts.

    The combat is difficult and similar to Dark Souls, which isn't my preference. However, it could be argued that this aspect of the game is necessary for the game's ultimate payoff. And there is always the No Damage mode to fall back on, if you need help getting past a particularly difficult part. However, I would advise viewing the difficult combat as its own sort of puzzle. Survival is often barely attainable, so you do need to exercise some thought and technique in order to persevere until the next checkpoint. That said, if you simply hate the idea of combat there is still plenty of game for you here even without it, but it will be a fundamentally different experience if you choose to negate the combat entirely.

    Tonally speaking, the cute fox is a red herring. The mood of this game is truly not so pleasant beneath the surface. Again, this isn't my preference (I wish Tunic were more of the “enchantingly beautiful” sort of mysterious, versus the creepy and foreboding kind, which I would say it mostly is).

    It is best to go into this game completely blind. I saw someone else compare it to Outer Wilds in that way, and I think they are right. Don't look up videos. Don't look up the game mechanics. Don't look up anything. Even reading these reviews is a big risk. Like I honestly wish I could be more specific in this review, but it's better that I'm not, for the sake of the prospective players who are reading these. Nothing is incidental and everything is a part of the mystery. Even a small detail can wind up being a spoiler.

    If you are familiar with Zelda games, that will give you a good background for comprehending Tunic. But don't make the mistake of thinking this is merely a fox-themed Zelda game. Zelda may be the soil from which it sprung, but Tunic is its own weird and cryptic plant.    … Expand

    Amazing presentation and sense of adventure. One of the best views and location I've seen in video games, achieved with tasteful, minimalistic graphics. Game is little difficult in the begining, but gets much easier once you figure it out and upgrage your fox. Sense of mistery, and the fact that game is not explaining much, while showing you many points of interest, makes exploration excelent.
    Made play in my working hours and stay late at night playing.

    On the side note, it's a shame that gaming community will praise whichever generic, uninspired indie game nintendo will sell them for 60 $ just because it has zelda or metroid in a title, while this game either goes unnoticed, or it's it's slamed for not being zelda.    … Expand

    Tunic demands all of your attention to experience its world and mysteries as intended. Fortunately, with excellent world design, fun and diverse gameplay and extraordinary ways to keep you interested in what to come next, it truly deserves that investment and focus.

    TUNIC is both an incredible and incredibly frustrating title. The combat lets down what otherwise is a masterpiece.
