Tunic

This might be controversial to say, but I loved Tunic more than Zelda: Link to the Past (even with full nostalgia goggles on). The game drops you straight in to explore and learn how it works. In a world of tutorials, it is always refreshing to have a game that makes it easy and rewarding to learn it organically...…

At first, it looks simple. A cute little fox wakes up in a mysterious world, grabs a stick and fights some enemies. You know the shape of this kind of game. Exploration, combat, secrets, shortcuts. Familiar ingredients. Then Tunic starts pulling the rug. The magic of this game is not just that it hides things. Lots…

Tunic is one of the best games I have ever played, and quite possibly *the* best game I have ever played. As a game, Tunic is a robust top-down metroidvania. Pathways are not only locked through the traditional "you need X upgrade to use this path" method, but also through clever manipulation of the isometric camera…

Love everything about it, but it was a little too hard. Wish there was a way to adjust difficulty.

If you like Zelda, mysteries, exploration, puzzels, and tough boss fights then this is a game for you and I'm not going to spoil it any further. ... and it has a beautiful landscapes, greate character design, and fantastic music that you will want to look up on Spotify.

It's more Souls-like than I expected (and less Zelda), but fun. Enjoyably hard.
