Tunic Reviews
A gorgeous art style, phenomenal gameplay, and old school game design make TUNIC one of the most enjoyable indies in years.
We’d use one word to sum up TUNIC: delightful. Few games will make you feel so skillful and clever, and fewer still will have the ability to slap a grin on your face.
If the difficulty proves too much for you, the accessibility options are a godsend and there's no shame in using them. You may have to get out your actual notepad to keep track of the hints, puzzles, and clues you find along the way, but if you follow that journey to the very end you are rewarded with a game unlike any other. Tunic is a modern masterpiece and its mysteries, secrets, and puzzles will stay with you for a long time after the credits roll.
If you've studied this review, you'll find that TUNIC is entirely worthy of your time. Its existence on the gameplay service so it means that many Xbox holders will have no excuse to avoid the TUNIC experience.

If you were looking for a foxy answer to the question "What would happen if Zelda was a Soulslike?" (I don't know why you're looking in a foxy way), you found it.

Tunic is one of the great surprises of this year, thanks to its varied and beautiful world, a soundtrack that is recorded on fire in your head and a gameplay that, although sometimes has some other failure, makes us enjoy an adventure that will give you what to talk about.

A wonderful game, reminiscent of both the old "Zeldas", and The Witness, and Fez, and other iconic releases. Instead of completely copying ideas, it adds its own unique "chips", thanks to which it will go down in history.

Playing Tunic feels like revisiting something old, not like something new and original. It's an engaging indie gem with beautiful graphics and oldschool adventuring, but its lack of narrative can make you feel lost and not interested.

Tunic is a fantastically clever adventure that kicks off in familiar Zelda-esque fashion before branching out to become its own thing entirely. There's an exquisitely designed world to explore here, a great big puzzle-box to probe and prod at as you progress through a story that's got just the right amount of mystery and intrigue about it to keep you hooked in. Combat can be a little clumsy at points early on but it improves as new powers are introduced and the game develops and grows into a surprisingly big, surprisingly challenging experience that's absolutely one of our favourite games of 2022 so far.
Tunic is an isometric action adventure with colorful visuals, fun exploration and well executed combat, though its insistence on lack of player guidance can make for a few frustrating moments.
Tunic is an absolute gem of a game. The combat is exciting without being overly difficult or frantic. The exploration feels organic without dragging on for too long. The dual inspirations of The Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls complement each other, and the isometric viewpoint makes it feel fresh when compared to other titles inspired by one of the aforementioned games. The time needed to knock out the campaign feels just right, while still naturally encouraging you to try another run to see all of the game's secrets. With no real negatives to speak of, it feels only right that Tunic occupy a spot in the library of any adventure fan.
TUNIC is a great indie game that will get its hooks in you as you try to decipher its incredibly elaborate game world and once you feel like you've seen everything, you'll keep discovering more and more to the point where it's hard to not think about this wonderful game.
Tunic is the fruit of a powerful love for a video game season of the past. After nearly seven years of development work, Andrew Shouldice packs a product in which homages to series such as The Legend of Zelda and the introduction of mechanics taken from the far more modern soulslike series are expertly mixed. In doing so he is able, as if by magic, to move back the hands of time. Tunic succeeds in conveying the same pleasure of discovery experienced by gamers at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, the authentic wonder of which you will return to. A product not to be missed.

Tunic is a game that impresses with its style, atmosphere and intelligent approach to mechanics. The way the storyline and basic mechanics are presented is one of a kind. Discovering the story on its own draws you in. Although it is a challenging game, the satisfaction of discovering its secrets and overcoming difficulties is immense. Tunic is a real gem in the world of indie games.

Tunic has a few things that are just a bit to vague or cryptic and a couple of other small gripes. Despite that, Tunic is a great game and absolutely worth your time!
Undoubtedly the most well-crafted “tough Zelda” game out there, with tons to discover and learn (usually the hard way)
Tunic game is definitely recommended for fans of Zelda and Souls series, but because the game is not very difficult, it can be attractive for other audiences as well.

It's just a pity that the story tends to fade into the background over long stretches and is ultimately too much linked to the intensive study of the manual and the analysis of the environment. If you like exactly this kind of storytelling, you will also be fascinated by it.
