The 'just puzzles' ending portion of the game was by far my favourite part!

Easily one of my favorite games of all time! Even after 100 hours on it, I still come back every once in a while to re-experience the magic. What it does sets it apart from most other games I’ve played - I can’t get into it much for spoiler reasons but what I can say is, it contains my absolute favorite soundtrack in any game, blew my expectations out of the water especially in the later parts of the game, and made me re-evaluate game design as a whole.

I don't know if I'm dumb here, but the puzzles in Tunic are some of the most unique I'v ever experienced. Sure purely mechanically they are repetetive, but discovering them and realizing there's a puzzle there at all it part of the process. And that process is different for each puzzle and I would say makes Tunic unique. Then of course, some people might not realize how many and how grand the hidden puzzles get and might never experience them. I finished the game without solving the biggest puzzle of all. I'm doing it now though. It is brain bending to think there's even such a puzzle in any game at all. It's truly unique.

Tunic Team is basically one guy who created the whole game. Makes it more impressive.

I like the look of the boss battles and I approve that they have given an option for those who want a more chilled experience, as for me I am more the keep dying until you don’t kind of guy. Also can’t get over how much I like the art style. Thanks for the video Mort, I’m already installing this on game pass and will be digging in tonight.

It does a good job emulating what it was like playing games as a kid, not understanding the language. Elden Ring too revived some of that sense of wonder that's been lost over the years, simply by having so little hand holding. To me it confirms that modern video game development focus way too much on having everything be immediately understandable. Quest markers pointing exactly where to go. Tutorials that take away absolutely all the mystery of figuring shit out yourself.

Tunic reminded me a lot of Death's Door. I loved Death's Door so I thought Tunic will scratch that itch. Pretty cool game overall

I am really impressed with all the 100% reviews you have done, well done sir. You def earned a sub

Finding the pages from the manual is wicked cool

I simply don't see a problem paying $30 or even $60 for a shorter game if that playtime is dense, which, in the case of Tunic, I would say is the case. Most long games in my experience have just been loaded with padding.

This game’s design was out of this world, and pretty much outclasses almost every AAA title today. One of the best games of the last 10 years, absolutely.

As an aside I started playing Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children because you had brought up you're gonna review it. I'm already 80 hours in and not even close to 100%ing might take awhile my dude! Great game so far (starts a little easy/slow but ramps up in a big way).

This game recently came up on playstation plus for free and I needed a break from Helldivers 2. I'm probably only three hours in maybe more. Maybe some will not agree but I love the fact everything feels rewarding Because you start off with no information. Starting off not knowing what any items do or what your progression should be. You find more information and piece it together and you get that "Eureka" moment so many times. Again and I am just getting started! Judging by a lot of the comments this holds a special place in many people's hearts. I feel truly blessed I get to experience this for the first time.

I enjoyed it, got all the pages and the good ending but didn't bother with every puzzle. Have always love the early SNES Zelda games like Link to The Past so really liked this game even if some of the final puzzles were a bit of a chore. Would recommend to any Zelda gamer as I would Deaths Door which is similar.

Another great review Mortym! Thanks so much for the fresh new content every day! It is nice to have a short game to 100%. Right now, I have a logjam of games still yet to 100% that will take dozens if not hundreds of hours each to 100%. On its own I would play it, but it is doubtful it can get into the 100% queue which is already packed with 76 games in my Steam Library ahead of it :) The nice thing is, for all those 76 games, there are videos for all of them in your channel, which is fantastic! The biggest challenge is to choose which game to 100% next?

I absolutely adore cute things with a dark tone. Its like horror comedy, it shouldn't work, you'd think one would ruin the other, but it really does work well. But since it seems to be primarily a puzzle game its not one for me sadly. Shame, I really like the look of it.

It's the kind of thing that 20 years ago would have been one of my favourite games on Game Boy Advance or whatever was about then (DS?). But now that we're awash with indie games only a download away, along with review videos, it feels a little meh.

Loved your review. Got to say I enjoyed the game up to a point. Sense of exploration and discovery around the world is great but the combat is simplistic and it makes some of the bosses a bit of a pain. As you say, once I completed it I didn't feel the need to complete all the puzzles for the true ending - didn't even realise the puzzles existed until really late on!

Nice review as always. The game is enjoyable and cute, there's no denying. But as for the playtime, I'd say normal player would probably lean more on the 12-14h. Not that longer than your 10h, but still à 20% increase at least, so I guess it's worth noting :)

Howdy Mortismal, great video as usual! Video request: What game would you most want to make if you were in charge?

I love the endgame puzzles. It was like a whole game hidden within the game that was undee my nose the entire time.

Installing it now on gamepass. Been seeing really good reviews on this game so I'm excited to play this tonight.

Nice!

I got it a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it. Admittedly, there were a lot of puzzles that I really only figured out what I WOULD need to do to get the solution, and then saved myself the trouble and just looked it up. That said, the process of figuring out how to solve some of the puzzles was still really satisfying. This game also seems really well suited to multiple playthroughs, since starting a fresh file after you already know everything gives a lot of possible approaches to change up the experience, and it comes with a new game plus so you can start out with end game equipment if you really want to.

Thanks as always for the great review. You're my go to guy for any game before I grab it. I don't know if this is been mentioned already, but Tunic is available on Game Pass which is how I am going to try it. I don't know how many times GP has saved me money. If I really like a game on GP, I usually buy it on Steam anyway :D. Just thought I'd mention that. Thank you again and keep up the awesome videos!

I wasn't interested but now I'm intrigued, really curious about this manuel telling the story

Probably won’t play it but you did a great review as always dude good job 👍🔥

Good Review as always, And good Thing: it's on PC Game Pass

Tunic was a great GamePass experience.

Hey if you liked this at all, then you should really check out the ys series. This looks a lot like that

I got the game "for free" through PS store monthly games. I like the game and it took me more than 10h to figure it out. The early game puzzles were cool and I really loved the game. I didnt like the game so much anymore so much in the late game with all this dark content - i dont understand why every souls game, even with a little fox hero - must always be so dark and sad. The end game puzzles however, especially the fairy ones, were just stupid hard. Thanks god you can just look it up online. Thanks for the review Mortis.

Good show sir

Bravo you managed to 100% the game! I'm surprised you played this one

It's on game pass as well, please mention if it's on game pass

maybe if the creator can get a team going they can make a sequel to this game and have i be longer and have overall to it?

This is a comfort game. I always have to come back to it. The soundtrack just melts the real world away and I’m the 🦊 lol

My only issue is that some of the areas are really dark, its my first time playing and I'm on the area where the enemy can grapple towards you

This game looks interesting. Have you heard of Knights of the Chalice 1 and 2. If so do you plan to check them out any time in the near future?

Might be worth pointing out here in the comments that at least as of July 2022, Tunic is available via Game Pass for both xbox and pc subscribers, so if you want to give it a try before you buy, that's certainly possible

The whole manual in another language would of been painful to pull off well in a longer game .

You should definitely try to 100% Yakuza 7 at some point. That game might be a completionist nightmare but in a fun way.

G'Morning Mortim

After seeing your video, I remembered playing some sort of demo, at some point. It was kind of "meh," imo. Not that it's bad, but time spent in any game is time not spent in a better game, given most people's limited gaming time. As a result, I find that there are a lot of" OK" games like this that I'll never play; way too many better games out there that I struggle to find time for. Thanks for the content.👍

It's funny that you mentioned not playing due to the art style because it's outward appearance initially convinced me not to play it. Your video convinced me to at least get it on sale because it looks like fun.

Saw your video while I was doing my playthrough of tunic and had to force myself not to watch it. However I have since 100% the game and can now watch!

I really like ur review man, really well done. I've just finished the game and was wondering if the puzzle sections annoyed other ppl as annoyed me lol. Too repetitive with almost no hint at all, having to guess too much and not a satisfatory reward after all that work.

Digimon Survive please :D Comes out Friday

It feels a lot like Deaths Door?

1:00 wtf mortym, it took me almost 30h for the first ending. Either they have added a bunch of stuff, or you're a legendary player.

In all seriousness, are you still enjoying playing games? You seem to spri t through them, to get that 100%, and quickly. I can't imagine that stays fun, and entertaining, when turned into a job.

If you like the vibe of this game, I strongly recommend The Last Campfire.

Comment for the Skull Throne

My GotY the year it released…easily!

100%? Then I take you translated Trunic. XD

I love the fact that you do reviews after 100 percent. I think this or a system in which journalists are not aloud to review a game at least until it's out like 3 weeks is necessairy. Impressions can change so much within a playthrough. Take Elden Ring. First 10 hours I loved it , but it felt a bit underwhelming. After that I started thinking it's great and loved it. 75% in the game it started to annoy me a bit, feeling like the difficulty spike went a bit too far with end game bosses and I was dependent on my mimic tear. And 2,3 days after finishing it and letting everything set in I realised that with all it's issues it's an absolute masterpiece and the good stuff in it just overshines the bad stuff by miles. So 4 different impressions throughout my journey. If I would have reviewed it at anytime before being completely done with the game and letting things set in , I would have not given my actual opinion , and I would have done this without even knowing

This looks a lot like Death's Door

I'm pretty burnt out on souls likes by now, I started this game up and loved the style and exploration until I realised it had souls like elements and then stopped playing. I understand it's a well made game but I just can't handle any souls like aspects for a while.

free comment.

How do you complete games so fast? How do you not get burnt out?

I'll be honest... thought that game language was Japanese at first... lol

Sounds like you weren't impressed by this. Also, sounds like you didn't start out with old Zelda games.

i liked it until u got the stupid dash

the writing that you can't read makes the game a 'not even downloading for free' for me.

Cute little game, btw thanks for accepting my friend invite on steam(mattznick) honestly didn't know you add viewers lol
