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.
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.
