    This is a gem, another brilliant game of 2022. Really unique game that feels oldschool. Don't listen to people whining about the difficulty, not every game has to hold your hand.

    Me parece que es un juego con aspiraciones muy bien realizadas. Apartado artístico, sonido y el propio lenguaje son destacados, peros obre eso es un gusto increíble jugarlo

    Seemed like an OK game at first, played for a few hours, and then one time after I died it set me back ALL THE WAY to the beginning of the first map with no way to get back to where I was...uninstalled.

    An impressive little adventure game that takes inspiration from Zelda and Souls games and executes that blend very well.

    The game is not easy at all! But it's extremely satisfying discover by yourself reading the pages of the manual that your find, what you have to do! For sure a very nice suprice!

    Absolutely fantastic. A great mix of Zeldalike and Soulslike. I enjoyed the game from start to finish.

    This game is surprisingly good considering the fact that it was made by one person. The controls are good, the "manual" is a unique design that I haven't seen in any other game, the graphics are good for what it is. The gameplay loop is interesting and it is fun enough that I lost 6 hours testing it after I installed it on the grandkids PCs for when they come over this weekend.

The gameplay loop is interesting and it is fun enough that I lost 6 hours testing it after I installed it on the grandkids PCs for when they come over this weekend. I just meant to play it for a few minutes to make sure there were no bugs and that the controls worked properly, 6 hours later I realized what happened.

    The main character is cute, the story is good, they should only need minimal assistance figuring out where to go and what to do, so they should love the game. In my opinion, that makes it pretty much a perfect game.

    Beautiful game! Love the art style and the music. All those negativ reviews are from brain dead nintendo zombies.

    I thought it would be just a copy of the legend of Zelda, but I was pleasantly surprised, a fresh style with a good degree of difficulty.

    I LOVE the art style in this game. Downloaded for my kids but ended up playing all the way through on my own as well! Really makes you think about what you're doing. I also thoroughly enjoyed the music. It just really all fits well together. Highly recommend.

    I never played zelda and I just recently get into some souls like games.

    For the souls like aspect of the game I can just say that its a hard game where you need to block and roll to survive. Besides that it has the same sort of level design where you find new shortcuts and ways to traverse the world. The only thing is that this game is much more forgiven than dark souls and does not

The only thing is that this game is much more forgiven than dark souls and does not punish your death as hard as dark souls will do. (SO NO FREAKING WALK 5 MINUTES AGAIN TO FIGHT THIS BOSS EACH TIME YOU DIE!)

    The way how the game explains everything to you the player was by a guide book where you will find pages for. This is also the only way how to figure out where to go and its amazing. It leaves a mystery for the player and something the player can discover by just reading it. That is also where the game shines the most as it does not want to explain things but you need to find the way yourself.

    9/10 for this unique little game and do not believe what the people here say with a 1/10 as that is certainly not the case.

    This game remembers me of the old Zelda games and I mean that in a good way.
    It's a fantastic game especially the bosses are spectacular, I can recommend it

    This game is loaded with secrets, has some surprisingly difficult moments, and GORGEOUS visuals. That sounds like Zelda to me, and for a game that pays much homage to the Zelda series, it looks like this developer got the job done right.

    The secrets often feel like Fez if Fez was done right. There’s many paths to take and many of the unorthodox ones are hidden in plain sight but easily

    The secrets often feel like Fez if Fez was done right. There’s many paths to take and many of the unorthodox ones are hidden in plain sight but easily missed if you haven’t traveled down them before. That makes replaying the game a joy.

    the visuals can get very bizarre which is very refreshing. The interesting creatures that inhabit this land are a sight for sore eyes. They’re also just beautiful. The soundtrack is very fitting, the gameplay is simple and sweet, I could go on but I’d like to get back to playing more Tunic.

    Very good Zelda light game I love how they make you figure out the foreign language and give you a sense of discovery the lock on system could be a little better a little more variety of weapons but it's an amazing game if you are into Zelda or deaths door like games! I highly recommend gorgeous art style!

    I can see why a lot of people are enjoying Tunic, but I find it frustrating. You don't know where to go so you wander for 15 minutes, finally find a passageway behind a wall, die, and then you have to re-find the path again which isn't easy because a lot of areas look so similar.

    One of the most boring games I've played. There's a reason the original Zelda's game style is dead and buried. Most of the time I've spent playing this game has been wandering around wondering what to do. If you aren't using a guide or talking to people like all the reviewers did to figure out what the hell to do, this game is a boring chore.

    At least 3D Dot Heroes allowed customization. It should have been so much better.

    Addictive. Nostalgic. Pure genius with a splash if cute and cuddly protagonist and sometimes creepy and devastating antagonistic. Tunic brings back the classic feel of the original Zelda like games but with a more intense environment that literally from the start leaves u wondering where to go and what to do.

The game basically doesn't tell you what to do, you have to solve it like a puzzle and figure out what each item and actions do with clues from cute little drawings to a journal kept by your fury little friend. Its a game that keeps you guessing and yet enamoured throughout nothing like defeating a boss by pure luck that gives you a chill of satisfaction. Expand

    Tunic is a fun little game that will immediately remind you of classic Zelda games on the Nes and Snes consoles. The game is just a joy to play for both young and old. If you are one of those that enjoy classic Zelda type gameplay with a cute little fox, the go ahead and give Tunic a try.

    Me he encontrado que a muchos jugadores les ha terminado de agradar la música relajante pero es ahí donde encuentro el bemol, si bien el juego es un indie, son aveces los arreglos musicales que tiene el juego que no me hace separar la idea de un indie barato, me hubiese gustado una mayor variedad de melodías o al menos que estas fueran algo distintas una de las otras y no la mayor parte del tiempo la melodía relajante de juego de puzzle indie.

    This game is challenging, that's for sure... But in a good way. The graphics have a wonderful art direction, and the music is fantastic. People who want to just mindlessly play a video game, stay away. This will make you think and focus. I absolutely love it.

    Tunic is one of those games that won’t let you go until you see the credits rolling. It’s insane, what Andrew Shouldice and his small team came up with and how much lifeblood was poured into this action adventure. Definitely an indie title you should not miss.

    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.
