"It's almost like the music is trying to speak to me." Yeah, about that... (Spoilers: it actually is. People have found secret hidden messages in thr music itself)

Great video

Check out the Tunic Randomizer mod. It’s offered replayability and offers some interesting challenges.

I really liked Animal Well, but i fund a flaw that made me not like it as much as Tunic and other games of this genre. It start as a metroidvania, and it's a great game in this genre, up untill the endgame, when you start finding the special items fot the hidden secrets and eggs. At that point the backtracking become it's core gameplay and if fall flat on that aspect, because your traversal abilities are very few and all almost useless except for the Bubble, that is stupidly usefull compared to all the other items. This make the backtracking slow and repetitive, because you move as slow as the beginning of the game, with only shortcuts opened to speed up the movement between areas. Also most items are a wasted potential, you use them in just a couple of rooms and that's it, you don't need them anymore for the rest of the game, like the Slink. they could have mad it as a high jump or double jump item outside of just using it to solve some puzzles, same with other items. It's really a shame that the only items used for traversal are the Bubble and the Disc, even tho for the second one you need to use a trick that's pretty hard to pull off every time. To sum it up, it's a great puzzle game and just a good metroidvania untill you reach the endgame, when it become an annoying one.

I enjoy games like tunic, la mulana, void stranger and the like, but I must say that animal well failed to properly catch me. It was still a nice game and the love put into it shines through, but by doing some soul searching i think we didn´t work out because it doesn´t contstruct a proper world with an history and a strong internal coherency, which help fuel my curiosity in other similar games. Nice video as usual!

Such a lovely channel. And a lovely video, too - describing the appeal of this game so well. At least from my perspective, anyway.

Welp, I'm utterly convinced to play this now. Great breakdown that doesn't gloss over why the great elements of the game are great and how rewarding they are for the player.

its ok

Tunic is my favorite game. I've played almost every Zelda and dark souls, but this game hits soooo hard.... I'll never be able to let that feeling of learning this game go. It's a true masterpiece in every way, even the soundtrack is transcendent. I couldn't recommend a game higher than this

This deserves far more attention, wonderful video

Someone didnt groove in the power plant

just to let u know the whole game was made in 2 years

Tunic music is Therapy for my nerves 😌

I enjoyed the review a lot!! There were many points I rarely see in other reviews. I'm glad you touched upon them. We'll continue to improve the game and our next projects based on that feedback!

Thank you so much for the review, we're glad you ended up enjoying the game! You have bringed up a lot of intseresting and valid points, some I can totally understand, but others not so much. This is more reggarding Axel, personally we know a lot of people that loved his gameplay loop and enjoyed him even more than Hazel, this is more of a personal thing, and everyone's thoughs are valid tho Either way thank you for you coverage, we hope you look forward to CODE Bunny's future and Team Seventh Star's future

great video in surprised you don’t have more subscribers

great video but id say you're two harsh,defietely desrve more views and subs,please make avideo on the multiplayer side of things tho

This is a great video. I recently revisited Tunic to attempt to 100% it on my Steam account. Since then I've been scouring the internet for people talking about the brilliance of this game and there's honestly not nearly enough commentary about it. Thank you for making this and sharing it, I really enjoyed it.

TF2 brought me out of the mainstream. Devs, for this game, were always trying to push the limits. Now video games have a platform, so it turned into a cod hell hole. I loved COD until I seen what they could and have become.

Also, wanted to point out striking differences between representations of combat AI in this franchise. Tf1 campaign have a plot-formative position on the matter: spectres guarding civilian hostages execute them on the spot when command requests their presence elsewhere; battle overseeing AI Spyglass blatently overrules human superior's command to evacuate personel due to negative projections; actions of AI combatants is the last needed excuse for 2 out of 3 depicted IMC commandors to switch sides and join militia, and one of them uses their increased employment in combat as the main talking point in persuading Blisk to also defect from IMC in the last mission of the game. Tf2 - BT is your best buddy! And except him, no other AI has relevance to the plot, although IMC forces are shown to have much higher automation. Whole game BT effectively follows orders no matter circumstances, regularly condacting probability calculations and making decisions based on his own projections. And opposing his mission is a bunch of mercinary sadists, most of whom explicitly value causing violence and carnage more than completing their mission. Noted, Blisk was kinda like it already in the first installment, but this time he is more psycho- than socio- path. So, resulting moral is something like: deployement of autonomous robotics in combat and designating military supervision functions to AI is unethical, obscuring value of human lives more than preserving the ones of soldiers! ...Unless, we are good guys, and alternative is to employ mentally unstable hirelings. I believe testing BT-Cooper duo morality at least a bit would've helped flesh out the message. That is, if events of two games combined was meant to be viewed as continuation of a single story at all.

Hey, nice vid, but have you played titanfall 1 prior to tf 2? I have, and wanted to comment that tf2 on release felt more like a sidegrade than improvement for me, and specifically campaign I remember as disappointing(still played tf2's multiplayer for 2000 hrs+, probably my favorite pvp shooter). So, seeing your video praising tf2 mechanics feels a bit weird for me, coz most for them were already in tf1 - pilot movement almost unchanged; npc fodder chatter, animation and AI; gunplay; titan combat - it all just recieved graphicall update, polish, a bit more variety and for campaign case - relief form netcode compications(not to downplay additions like pilot sliding, but still). Personally, I ended up with much more love for tf1 campaign, and remember myself more engaged with it's gameplay AND narrative. Amusingly, quite on point with your intro about first experiences, however, maybe it's more than that? Recap: it was 9 missions, each of them is just a half minute briefing on lobby screen, 1 minute cutscene of dropping into action, flavoured mp objective on a mp map, and then some brief action alteration on evac phase. It's story is radio chatter, few scripted NPC routes at the start and skybox action. But these limitaions achieved some of what tf'2 lacked for me: existing on those maps is an uninterrupted challenging platforming section, for your efficiency in taking powerpositions is tied to your survival; narrative and gameplay have a sense of urgiency, for you are racing for an objective complition with opposing team; exposition is brief and story just can not be interrupting, while there are still few cool setpieces you can appreciate if follow npc's from drop locations or just look up at the skybox; it is SHOWN and told why IMC are worth raising militia armies against, as soon as after level 2 intro it is undoubtable; and tf2's campaign just dropped the ball for not having a single mandatory pilot vs titan section, it is a gameplay alteration on par wih any single-level-devices it introduces, while tf1 campaign ofc was full of such interactions, and they enourmously added to pilot with/vs/without titan fantasy. So, back to my point... tf2's camaign is overall much more production costly, effort given, diverse, better paced and, despite my personal gripes, overall superior expiernce than tf1's, and also, one that can still be played, lol... But I don't think TF2 campaign is close to peak design, given it was already working with so much preestablished mechanics, and examination of its potential is incomplete without looking at tf1 and its own multiplayer.

Your video having this low of views is criminal - I wish you the best in finding your audience! Great work! Subscribed 😁

I genuinely thought this was another 6 year old video essay with 2 million views. Very well made :) I remember Titanfall 2 being so good that i just never played CoD again. It completely and permanently reshaped my expectations for first person shooters and video games as a whole. It has its flaws but its so good.

Yooo, this video is amazing, i was so surprised to see how low the view count is along with the engagement. This truly is a great cover on our forgotten legend and i just wanted to let you know how much i loved this video. I think this video has potential for much more views, honestly idk what your plan is but since I've noticed you've broken this into chapters i recommend that you cut up each section and post the individual bits onto something like tik tok, now that they've allowed for longer formatted videos. Best of luck out here.

I agree with about 80% of the takes made in this video, particularly the lack of the platforming sections, but feel like you undersold how raw/emotional the story got towards the end. Additionally, I feel like you're not doing the time travel level justice and personally it's perfect the way it is; any longer and it would have overstayed its welcome - but that's just me. Good watch.

Having just finished this, I've been recommending it as "if zelda was still like this, I would still like Zelda". This game was transcendent though. I have literally never before felt the need to bust out a pen a paper for a game. If one has required it before, I didn't continue. Tunic is adorable and dark and compelling and intriguing and one of the best we've ever seen.

Tunic revived my love for video games, I wish I could play it again for the first time

Would love to hear your take on 3D Dot Heros. A similar game that got the "it's Zelda but..." comparisons.

Hey, Tunic is gonna be on next month's PSPplus, and I blame this video! (Totally a good thing I promise!

Great essay and presentation! You should have more subs! (says the guy who's been doing YT for 12 years and just barely cracked 40k)

Zelda growing up with it's audience is called The Adventure of Alundra.

13:50 ""ts almost like the music is trying to speak to me" ...hmmm indeed...

Hell yea, love the messenger.

It's a brilliant game. Unfortunately, I'm not a brilliant player - and after failing to find the frog boss, I just kinda set it down, the secrets undiacovered.

Great video! As an editor I want to point out that I specifically enjoyed your use of four screens and making them flicker between colour and black and white in the intro worked very well! Don't know if anyone pointed it out yet!

One thing I forgot to mention that I found funny: the physical version of the game from Fangamer. It comes with... the manual. Just the straight-up manual that you collect in the game, all together in a physical booklet. I am so glad I didn't realize it until I'd beaten the game. It's such a spoiler to even be there in the game case lol I would have found out things way too early if I'd actually thumbed through it.

I adored this game. Adored it. I haven't gotten that sense of whimsy and mystery playing a game since I played Fez so many years ago. This looming sense that beyond the cutesy look, something so much bigger and possibly sinister was going on. Even the soundtracks are kind of similar. The gimmick with the game manual was brilliant. It made figuring things out so much more fulfilling. I AM ashamed of how long it took me to even realize you could upgrade your stats. I spent a massive chunk of time just thinking it was an incredibly hard game. Took me way too long to find the manual page explaining it. (I didn't even discover the color changing room until the second playthrough. I happily replayed the game with a white fox wearing a black tunic.)

Dude I cannot BELIEVE how good your production quality is!!!! Just found your channel and I hope you keep making more of these excellent breakdowns!!!!

This and Outer Wilds are the only games that made me feel like a genius when solving their mysteries. Very different games with very similar feelings. Some of the best ever made

Tunic is definitely one of those games that I file under "Games I wish I could play for the first time again".

One of my favourite jokes in the community is that you can tell how long someone has played it by what they compare it to "Oh it's like Zelda", "Oh it's like Dark Souls", "Oh it's like Outer Wilds" and finally "Oh it's like Fez"

this game is probably the only thing in my life, I wish I could forget the experience to really go through it a second time fresh. absolutely amazing game. never loved a thing so much that I wish I could also forget. that's wild to me.

I WANT to play Tunic... but bills are more important...

Only game that manages to make opening a door with a passcode the hypest experience possible. I was physically shaking when that thing opened

Oh, hey! Someone else who loved Sea of Stars and played the Messenger after because of it! I find the connection between the two wild on a surface level, they seem so different, but there's a lot of good lore, I'm all about that shit

I don't know if I'll ever experience anything more mind-bendingly euphoric as the golden path. If ever I find a more satisfying puzzle, it would be an insane feat

👍

Dude your content is really great. I’m glad I came across your channel and excited to see more of your stuff in the future! Thank you

Making the music loud doesn't hide any flaws there might be in ur recorded voice it just makes u even harder to hear dawg

"The right game, in the right hands, or at the right time can be a treasure more valuable that can be expressed with money or words." Rogue Legacy 2 is that for me.
