Finished up (mostly) Tunic early this week. Still working on translating the manual, and trying to think up more ideas for the (presumably) final final post-game puzzle.
If you’re interested in exploration/discovery/puzzle games, I’ll recommend it, with 2 caveats:
A) The combat system is really not good. Particularly with regard to boss fights. I’ve played all the optional post-game stuff in some BRUTALLY difficult games: Hollow Knight, Celeste, Dark Souls, Elden Ring… but THIS game is the one that broke me. Not just cause it’s difficult, but it’s difficult for all the worst reasons. Point being, don’t hesitate to just drop the difficulty or turn on no-fail mode. It’s not worth it.
B) Don’t just write off the in-game language as puzzle only for puzzle enthusiasts. It is optional, but I wish I had been putting effort into solving it, little by little, since the beginnig. It would have been really satisfying to solve some of the other game puzzles that way.
