NoobFeed Editor Kurtis Seid writes - Wavetale is impressive and extremely fun for those who enjoy high-speed traversal. It lacks challenge when it comes to combat, but it also means it doesn’t take much to return to exploration. There is a lot of extra stuff to do besides the main story, though it only results in more cosmetics.
XBA says: There is a simplicity with Wavetale that makes it really hard not to love. A simply delightful game.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "When the credits rolled, Wavetale felt akin to some sand stuck in your shoes after leaving the beach. You don’t know how it got there, but now you’re slightly irritated while driving the whole way home. That lackluster finale eventually reminded me of other sour notes, making me reflexively weigh the pros and cons versus the experience itself. I’m reminded of the freedom in the water, but also the constraints on land. Sigrid’s odyssey has a fine overarching message, yet there’s so little creative spark within its storytelling compared to its better peers.
These waves of complaints and praises crashing from different directions never totally damage its solid bedrock: the traversal & platforming mechanics. Because of that, it's closer to an easy sell for genre fans."
