Tunic Reviews
Tunic is precisely the short but awesome game that so many players are missing these days. But, even if you’re left wanting more after finishing it, what you get is a meticulously crafted and heartfelt game that deserves more than a few praises.

It is easy to misunderstand TUNIC as an adventure reminiscent of 'Zelda' for its cute, fairytale-like graphics and sound, But the reality is different. While the fox hero grows up overcoming boss battles, the unexpected difficulty stimulates you to challenge more. The catalog styled story and twist also show the game's charms.

We are immersed in the world of Tunic in a special way, facing any challenge again and again with great pleasure, with the sole purpose of leading our little fox hero to his own Promised Land.

Tunic initially looks incredible. Featuring a top-down attack and dodge style, it immediately gives off a Death’s Door vibe with an abundance of colour. Upon entering the game though, it becomes very clear that Tunic is just an empty shell of a game. With basically no story, basic combat, and a world that looks amazing but leaves the player wondering where to go. It becomes very stale very quickly.
Un juego que toma cosas de aquí y de allá pero las hace suyas y construye cosas nuevas sobre éstas.

So this is the magic of Tunic, the ability to combine tradition and innovation, using as main ingredient an element, the manual, which is really one of the most extraordinary devices ever seen recently in a videogame. It also has a certain symbolic and emotional value, for those who still remember the instruction manuals of twenty years ago. It doesn't matter if in the very last hours you feel the lack of an amalgam (narrative, above all, since also the story is quite obscure), that fully justifies the resolution of the most hidden puzzles (whose resolution is necessary to unlock the real ending): it is the small and negligible duty to pay to the creation of an exciting, intelligent and unique experience.

Tunic provides a lot of promise for fans of the old-school Zelda games, but you have to find your way to get there. However, for players who don’t mind the difficulty, the journey is worth the treasure that awaits you at the end.
Tunic is a challenging and at the same time beautiful game in isometric projection that you can't get enough of. It may be a bit on the short side, but the challenging enemies and a practically unreadable manual ensure that you have a lot of time in Tunic.

Tunic left a very positive impression on me. I haven’t enjoyed an adventure game like this in quite some time. Tunic cleverly drops the player in its world and just lets them discover things for themselves without feeling overbearing or confusing. It’s a feeling I don’t think I have felt since the good old retro days. Most of all I left most sessions with a smile whether I made progress or not. If that sounds good to you, then I strongly suggest checking it out.
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.
Tunic isn't the game I imagined when it was announced in 2017, it's something better, a product that has surprised me more than expected. Normally accustomed to games where the paths are guided in excess, they have managed to find the exact route to pose a basic adventure, but covered in several layers and puzzles that make it more interesting and challenging.

While its difficulty spikes could use a bit more balancing, it does nothing to diminish my love for Tunic. This is a masterfully designed game that challenges you to take elements of classics that have become familiar and apply them in all-new ways. Its triumphant in-game manual gave me more moments of stunning realization than every other game I’ve played in 2022. If you’re a fan of any of the titles that stand as major influences to Tunic, you owe it to yourself to check this one out.
This adorable fox won’t win everyone over, but everyone else will wax lyrical about Tunic for weeks and months to come. For me, it’s a stunning triumph that enchanted me every step of the way. From its retro manuals to its hidden secrets, this is a world I lost myself in for days at a time and never wanted to leave. Nothing has come close to matching the joy I felt from Link to the Past all those years ago, until now!
Tunic is a beautiful and charming little indie title that harkens back to the old-school Legend of Zelda releases that clearly inspired it.
Tunic is so magnificent in every way, from gameplay to visuals, that you can't do anything other than envy the its developer. This is without a doubt one of the year's absolute must plays.

Tunic is a beautiful game. Its gorgeous visuals, moving soundtrack, and charming environments lure you into a world of mystery and wonder. Exploring each environment is an absolute delight and the challenges that await you are ready to be overcome and defeated.
Challenging from start to end, Tunic goes far beyond expectations in creating an action-adventure that is charming, deep, and keeps you coming back for more every single time.
A unique game that communicates directly with our childhood through its superficial adventures and its darkest secrets. It has enough potential to please every indie lover and it exudes personality on all sides.

TUNIC is an obtuse deconstruction of the original Legend of Zelda, capturing its spirit and modernizing it with a soulslike edge.
TUNIC is both an incredible and incredibly frustrating title. The combat lets down what otherwise is a masterpiece. If you can look past it or feel fine using the accessibility options it is worth checking out. Gorgeous graphics, incredible music, and intriguing lore just may be enough to carry you through, and being available day one on Game Pass on PC and console certainly doesn’t hurt either.
