Tunic is an amazing game.I started playing it over the weekend and it's one of the best games I've played. The combat is engaging and the art/music is great. I love the design decision to include the instruction manual pages as items to find in the game, complete with little pencil marks on some of the pages making it look like someone's personal notes. It really hits the nostalgia of when games came with physical books. #games #gaming #tunic @games |

Oh yeah, it’s incredibly immersive. Got a lot of mileage out of an iPad with a pencil taking screenshots, scribbling out patterns and puzzles and working them out even when I didn’t have the game on. Even after figuring out everything in the manual and getting all the trophies the game still has a ton of mysteries and that rabbit hole goes deep. |

I got stuck on a boss and couldn't find my way back to them after rallying and attempting to make a second attempt. |

Me personally, I thought the combat was pretty ass. Boss combat, in particular. Like they played Dark Souls and their takeaway was "Okay, so to make good combat, you need to make it SUPER difficult, and then give them a dodge roll." REALLY put a damper on the experience as a whole, which is a shame, because every other aspect of that game is FANTASTIC. If you haven't played it, do yourself a favor and just be ready to turn on assist mode or no-death mode for the bosses. |

I love it so much whenever I accidentally stumple upon my clusterfuck of written notes in my paper notebook. Found it, but just in case marked for spoiler

Tunic is great, it really is a love letter to the instruction manual and note taking. The combat was so satisfying to improve at as well. I just have one minor complaint about it, but it is kinda spoiling the game, and won't affect anyone unless they dive *deep* into the gameSecret Treasure 4: Vintage. I get that they wanted to reward people who figured out the language, but you cannot then make it an English Cipher AND localise everything except it AND hide 1 of the 12 secret treasures behind it. They localised it, so a portion of their targeted playerbase will not speak English. They are now locked out of exactly 1 of these trophies, that is frustrating as fuck. And because I happened to notice that the booklet language does not change when I changed the game language, I thought I would have to learn toki pona or something, and gave up on a puzzle I would have probably enjoyed otherwise, because I thought despite me specifically speaking English, the developers would not be so cruel as to hide exactly 1 out of 12 trophies behind a specific language. Yes, I am still mad. Hiding like easter eggs or minor rewards behind it is fine, and although making ones own language would exclude more people from ever finding it on their own, it is at least fair. |

I really liked the "you could do this all along?"-ness of it |

Crap game. The devs couldn't balance the game for shit, and when players complained enough they gaslit them with opt-in setting instead of actually fixing the base game. Not to mention the fucking lies in their stupid digital manual/map |
