Critic Reviews for TAMASHIKA
TAMASHIKA is undoubtedly a surreal, bizarre game that uses psychedelic visuals and whiplash action to funnel players into a flow state. Yet it is a game that also feels intimately familiar and natural to the roots of the FPS genre.
Tamashika’s intensity stems from its roots as a voidlike shooter, a hyperniche subgenre inspired by Post Void and its corridor structure that strips out all the fat. No involved level design. No side quests. Just kill, kill, kill.
Tamashika is not for everyone, and it is bizarre. I don't expect it to blow up, since it's excessively lean at times and lacks direction or guidance. Yet, I think it's aggressively trying to make a name for itself, but it struggles to really say anything. Loud and chaotic, Tamashika plays nice enough, but it's hard to discern what it's trying to prove or to whom. Ultimately, I'm looking forward to returning to see if I can pick up anything that I might've missed, but as it is, it's something you need to invest time into each week.
