TUNIC

Una belleza de juego sin dudarlo. Como fan de Zelda, considero que TUNIC es un hermoso homenaje a la era clásica de la saga, donde los acertijos eran complejos. En este juego, los puzles tienen una dificultad elevada y eso es precisamente lo que lo hace brillar, cuenta con una guía interna (un formato que no me tocó vivir por el año en que nací xd) que te da pistas y te enseña los conceptos de su mundo. Gráficamente el juego es bellísimo, me encanta su arte minimalista, así como el manejo de las sombras y la iluminación. Sin embargo, mi punto favorito es el soundtrack. POR DIOS, Janice Kwan y Lifeformed hicieron un trabajo increíble, es una banda sonora ambiental riquisima, con temas que van desde melodías relajantes para dormir hasta temas que te sumergen por completo en la tensión. Es verdad que el juego es bastante corto y la historia, a mi parecer, no es su punto más fuerte. Pero quitando eso, es una experiencia que le recomendaría a cualquier fan de Zelda o a cualquiera que ame resolver puzles. Calificación en resumen: Jodidamente recomendado man.

This game is made specifically against people like me. I am directionally challenged and specifically play isometric games because moving backgrounds make me want to barf. This game has several areas that don't even have the vague overworld map and I wasted so much time backtracking back and forth because I could not figure out the one little thing I was supposed to notice so I could leave the area. And all the boss fights have spinning backgrounds. Ended up giving up right before the end. Tried to look at a guide instead for all the pages and faries and at some point I just had to cut my losses and stop because trying press 50 buttons in a precise order not knowing where I am messing up for the fifth time in a row is not fun anymore.

Quick Description: -Tunic is a beautiful action adventure game heavily inspired by the Legend of Zelda. Death's Door is probably the the most similar modern Indie game by comparison, although I do think that Tunic is better in most ways. This game looks gorgeous visually, has a stellar soundtrack, and has some of the most creative exploration and secret hunting ever implemented. Slowly finding pages of the manual to learn all of the mechanics of the game is brilliant and is the star of the show. Occasionally, I would accidentally figure out a mechanic that would be crucial to the game moving forward, which is incredibly rewarding. This is truly a special game! Consensus: -Excellent Game (Tie 2 and makes up 25% of my reviews). The reason that I didn't give Tunic my highest score is b/c of how frustrating a few of the late game choices are. I will never understand why devs insist upon a late game mechanic that temporarily takes away all of your stats. I don't know if I've ever met anyone that thinks this is fun, interesting, or compelling. While figuring out everything through discovery or through finding the manual pages is extremely rewarding, the flip side to that is that it is incredibly frustrating when you accidentally miss a page or two. This game is one of a kind, but it is not for everyone. It's also on the shorter side (10-15 hrs for a non completionist playthrough). Fans of Link's Awakening will absolutely love this game!

It's just one step away from entering my personal hall of fame of complete masterpices. If only it delivered more on the [spoiler]emotional / story[/spoiler] side it would be absolutely perfect. A shame, but it's still an extrodinary, great game. If you want to be surprised and challenged in a non-standard way, and/or looking for a specimen of the rare metroidbrania genre, this is it 100%.

No es tan difícil como dicen los cagones fiferos. NECESITO MÁS JUEGO Y MÁS DIFICULTAD QUE BONITO Y QUE PEDAZO DE DISEÑO DE NIVELES. NO es como dark souls, los puzzles NO son una locura, NO tiene nada que ver con outer wilds mongolitos. Me teneis hasta la fresa del pito con las mismas comparaciones de siempre.

Very good game, deserves to be called a metroidbrainia, lovely style of both in game graphics and manual, good music, overall great experience
