Tunic review: Not-so-fantastic Mr. Fox | Digital Trends

Frustratingly obtuse from its start, the most difficult thing about Tunic is progressing after getting stuck.

Thats how I felt after playing the demo. Oh well, maybe next time.

"I don't know how to play games that don't 100% hold my hand" - the review.

Kerppamaister1141d ago

Let's start a petition to remove digital trends' review from metacritic. /s

They're entitled to their opinion.
Never take that away from people.

But when I'm seeing this game get 8s, 9s, and 10s, and then see a 4 with the biggest criticism being the game is too hard for them, that's when you have to question how they're using their own rating system.
If anything they should have gotten someone else to do the review.

This is what I never get. Elden was praised for this stuff. But God forbid another game not hold your hand. Games nneeeeeedddddd to get back to this. It's fine if it wants to give you general areas and you can use custom waypoints. But I wanna have games where you need to pay attention, that's what made games like Ocarina of Time so great back in the day. It felt like a bigger adventure than games 40 times it's size because you had to explore and figure it out with basically riddles or slight Navi commentary. I hope games start a trend of not holding hands anymore. I actually plan on starting over Horizon and not using any waypoints. Just me and the map. It was my favourite part with elden, not knowing what to do etc

MadLad1141d ago

It's part of the reason Morrowind was so much more interesting to me than later entries. Just to get to many mission locations, it required you to memorize tips given to you, identify landmarks. Really scout out your location.

Just that alone added a lot to the game.

i surprised to see Fifa 24 here for free for PlayStation plus am sure people are still buying the game with how big the Fifa games are.

VersusDMC365d ago

Especially with the Euro cup coming up in june and it still selling as it was the 2nd best selling game for March in the UK. Big soccer competitions usually get me to play some FIFA(or FC now).

God damnit! I had just bought eafc24 on sale last month..

Cacabunga365d ago

they already gave FIFA23 last year, no surprise.
i do not have 24, I am still playing 23 I like the World Cup mode.
Ghostrunner 2 looks good, reminds me somehow of Mirror Edge.

CantThinkOfAUsername365d ago

It works for EA since it drives more people to try the game and get trapped in the casin... Ultimate Team cards.

Christopher365d ago

It came out over 6 months ago and most of its income now is MTX. Not surprising IMHO.

Abear21364d ago

Exactly! Nobody is buying it so they give it away and get a little boost of mtx, this is what these glorified rental services gets you

Tunic and ghost runner are damn good. Solid month.

monkey602365d ago

Yeah I'm happy with those 2. I didnt play Tunic when I had gamepass so ill be glad to finally give it a go.
I'm also amazed they still find ways to give Destiny 2 away. But at least its an added game and not one of the main titles

Tacoboto365d ago

Tunic was such an incredible experience, I'd instantly recommend it to anyone wanting a more old-school figure-it-out type of game.

The music alone is very peaceful and calming and balances well against the more strict combat

monkey602365d ago

I remember loving the demo for it but just hadn't got around to getting the full game yet.

shinoff2183365d ago

I thought tunic was pretty cool. Didn't care much for Ghostrunner

Einhander1972365d ago

Four games including one of the best selling and most popular sports games and you get to keep them as long as you have a subscription to the basic tier. This is an extremely high value month

What does games with gold give this month? I'm sure if anything at all, it's just a bunch of stuff that has already been on game pass for years.

Tacoboto365d ago

Your troll attempt is six months late to the party.

Einhander1972365d ago

Oh pardon me, they changed the name to game pass core so Phil could talk up some inflated numbers even after they said they weren't going to share numbers anymore.

Tacoboto365d ago

Why is this relevant in an article about PS Plus anyway?

You're spamming for the sake of spamming with a troll post over something Microsoft did away with half a year ago.

This line up and I still see people complain about it at the blog.playstation.com... gamers these days...

I don't play all of them, but an amazing month!!

MWeaver589365d ago

I have everything I want, but I am still overjoyed to see Tunic make the list. It's such a charming love letter to games of the past, and something anyone who enjoyed gaming in the '90s should absolutely check out. I mean, it even allows you to create an in-game manual that is reminiscent of those you'd read on the ride home.

Best Surprise of 2022

VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "Every year gamers are treated to a wide assortment of games from different genres. From small indie darlings to large tentpole releases, there’s just about something for everyone. And yet, every year, we’re still caught unawares by games that both surprise and delight us. 2022 saw the release of several key surprises, as the shortlisted candidates demonstrate.

Chained Echoes by lone developer Matthias Linda took everything fans love about 16-bit JRPGs while modernising them in several innovative ways. Neon White by Angel Matrix had players speed-running through levels while slaying demons with Soul Cards. Tribute Games masterfully took the Ninja Turtles back in time to the age of arcade beat 'em ups with Shredder’s Revenge. Andrew Shouldice almost single-handedly channelled the essence of classic Legend of Zelda games through Tunic. And finally Luca Galante had countless gamers addicted to Vampire Survivors, as they battled endless hordes of monsters in an action roguelike shoot 'em up of sorts."
