    I found the game through a review recommending it to “Paper Mario” fans, but that video was so obscure I failed to ever find it again. The platforming is jank, the story compares unfavorably to another game with the same first 2 syllables, and the switch port is terrible with its load times. But I like the combat system, and while it starts fairly generic, each area becomes more and more visually intersting. Also we play as a silent protagonist, but they still gave them so much personality in the form of a hint system notebook, most devs would do hint systems as generically as possible to not confuse anyone, but I love them for not doing that.

    A true flawed 7/10 game.

    Tunic is great, it really is a love letter to the instruction manual and note taking. The combat was so satisfying to improve at as well.

    I just have one minor complaint about it, but it is kinda spoiling the game, and won't affect anyone unless they dive deep into the game

    Secret Treasure 4: Vintage. I get that they wanted to reward people who figured out the language, but you cannot then make it an English Cipher AND localise everything except it AND hide 1 of the 12 secret treasures behind it.

    They localised it, so a portion of their targeted playerbase will not speak English. They are now locked out of exactly 1 of these trophies, that is frustrating as fuck. And because I happened to notice that the booklet language does not change when I changed the game language, I thought I would have to learn toki pona or something, and gave up on a puzzle I would have probably enjoyed otherwise, because I thought despite me specifically speaking English, the developers would not be so cruel as to hide exactly 1 out of 12 trophies behind a specific language.

    Yes, I am still mad.

    Hiding like easter eggs or minor rewards behind it is fine, and although making ones own language would exclude more people from ever finding it on their own, it is at least fair.
