Let’s go, Xbox knocking it out of the park. Last year we had Deaths Door. Such a 💎. This year, we get Tunic. Can’t wait to get home and pick this one up.
@@Kpopforlife1995 yes brother. The ID@Xbox trailers has it at the very end. Xbox, PC and Game Pass. Just not sure if that’s PC Game Pass as well. Either way, I’m picking it up on Steam for the Steam Deck and playing it through GP on the Series X.
@@trobriandstorm Blue Fire is a 3D Platforming Adventure game made by Robi Studios that takes elements from both Legend of Zelda and Hollow Knight as well! Highly reccomend checking it out! ^^
There are definitely a lot of mechanics similar to those you'll find in Elden Ring, but this game has been equally fun and challenging. Not to mention adorable!
There are a lot of Zelda clones out there. This looks like a very great one. Looking forward to playing this tunic game. Plus link wears a tunic and so does this fox.
Just got a series x for my bday todayfrom my amazing wife and this is def one of the first games I’m picking up, thanks to NintendoCapriSun for showcasing this one.
saying the game is hard is an overstatement. I'd put it at the medium difficulty in my oppinion. One thing of advice playing the game: hug walls as much as possible! [Note: This game does not use a mouse, if you feel uncomfortable playing without a mouse this game will be a lot harder]
"nearly all the games dialogue is written in an undecipherable language", except that's just plain false, it is possible to decipher it, though not necessary to complete the game. It's yet another tier of secret that the hardcore players can enjoy post-game.
Another lie, the game is always saved, not only at shrines. You can leave at any time and rejoin and keep all your progress, though your exact spawn position may change.
Lastly, while there's no difficulty settings for combat, there is an accessibility option to become invincible, if you're not enjoying a really difficult boss.
4:20 oh oh.. and you play with a controller.. an obvious nod to Pong.. and umm.. there's a sword in the game, and obvious nod to Dragons Lair.. and umm umm.. there's achievements, an obvious nod to the first game to have achievements.

I'm playing this on Game Pass and got completely caught off guard by the fact that there's barely any legible words in this game. For some reason that made the experience even better
Just a heads up: this video has a lot of spoilers, including a spoiler for the game's big twist and the final boss. If you are interested in this game, please wait to watch this until after you finish.
Tunic made me cry in many ways. A warm surprise of creativity, immersion, tradition, puzzle solving and a deep message. It made me cry because this is a LOVE LETTER to high quality game design. Period.
@First Plays doesn't need to be confirmed. It's a 3rd party game. Look at the pattern of every 3rd party game being on Xbox first. MS doesn't do exclusives anymore.
@First Plays it's PC. Windows is an OS. Not a PC. Don't mix one with the other. There's a reason MS has to give Steam a 30% cut when they put their games there. Stop the cap. It's multiplat. It is what it is.
as opposed to Zelda games where enemies reset on timers or when you switch screens? That said an hour with this game was enough. The combats pretty bad and controls in general aren't great IMO
Game was fun until the area that has crystals that drain your health to 1 HP. On top of that it disorients you and slows you down. Also the enemies can one shot snipe you from across the screen.

Thank you for this
They also recently added an easy combat mode
There is now a "reduced" difficult mode.
@@223rockmaster even in reduced mode, first-trying bosses has felt very rewarding for me
@@ChuckSploder Glad to hear it!
Was looking for a relaxing game after beating Elden Ring... guess this aint it LOL
Was thinking the exact same thing. Definitely excited to play this....after I've cooled down from 120 hours of elden ring.
Lmaooooo
deaths door bro trust
Deaths door is amazing
I'd recommend Night in the Woods if you've never played. Great art and writing, and is a real 'stop and smell the roses' kinda game.

Thank you!
Thanks for the warning
Thanks dude, never heard of it. Looks awesome!!!

This game looks really fun, definitely gonna check this out.
The art style and certain areas in the game look really pretty

To think Tunic was created by a single person, very inspirational to a fellow solo developer
WAUW!

Once you see credits. You will see he had some additional help.

I've been looking forward to this game since it was first revealed at E3 like 5 years ago or something.

@@nix764ummm...what??
Correction, there are difficulty options, in the accessibility options menu.
Uhhh unless u mean the no fail mode no there isn’t
@@Top547-Pretty sure that counts as a difficulty option
The level design and sense of discovery is amazing in this game. Haven't felt this sense of discovery since Dark Souls.
This comment alone is the biggest selling point for me. Might have to pick it up, especially now that it’s on sale

If you don’t like owning games then yes
@@GeorgeZimmermen EXACTLY
Collecting games is played out. Especially with most games needing internet in some capacity now anyway
@@GeorgeZimmermen with how much money you save, that's fine by me.
@@GeorgeZimmermen not all of us want to have games stacked on a shelf
This is quality. It deserves a proper physical release on as many formats as possible for everyone to enjoy
It most likely will
It probably will when it launches on the other platforms like PS4/5 and Nintendo Switch, at least that's the trend with these Xbox@ID indies
So it's just on xbox?
No physical, no buy!

looks and plays a lot like Death’s door!
beat me to it. and death's door was awesome!
It’s a Zelda like game. Also like deaths door is.
@@Arjay82 this game was in developpements before death door
@@Arjay82 you’re just talking to talk. You’re wrong 😂
Tunic is much easier. Death doesn’t really have any consequences except you lose progress if you didn’t save. But nothing else.
There are definitely a lot of mechanics similar to those you'll find in Elden Ring, but this game has been equally fun and challenging. Not to mention adorable!
lol yea hit and roll and die.... thats about it
Yeah finding our porpose and way in this game are harder and confusing than doing hundred hours of deadly journey in Elden Ring's open world.
4:33 Is that the Moonlight Greatsword?!
This game has been on my radar for quite some time. Glade to see it being well received!!
Where does this take place in the Zelda timeline?
Best comment
There are a lot of Zelda clones out there. This looks like a very great one. Looking forward to playing this tunic game. Plus link wears a tunic and so does this fox.
This is definitely not a clone. There is so much more there
@@raph2550 Tehre's a souls mechanic too
@@oxob3333 two if you count the dodge rolling
There are a lot of game clones out there indeed. It's like sometimes people make things similar to what they enjoy and inspires them. What a tragedy.
This game is phenomenal the secrets in the game are 😮 crazy can’t recommend it enough!!!
Glad this is being offered on ps+.
Dodging attacks by rolling is so hot right now.
One of the most memorizing game I’ve played within a few years. The level design and the uniqueness of overall vibe, such a brilliant game.
SO a Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past-ish meets Dark Souls-ish. Nice.
Im loving the return to form RPG games with no quest logs, figure out on your own, harder fights. Should we thank FromSoft?
Gotta thank the legend of Zelda too, this seems like a great marriage of the two
Feels like forever since this game was revealed
Can’t wait to try it out!
Just got a series x for my bday todayfrom my amazing wife and this is def one of the first games I’m picking up, thanks to NintendoCapriSun for showcasing this one.
You sure there are no difficulty settings (4:34)? Other reviews showed both infinite stamina and infinite health options.
Could tell this game was something a bit special from the demo alone
If you liked Death’s Door you’ll definitely dig this one. Great review!
There is in fact a combat setting. Easy, normal, hard. 5 seconds in the settings would show that.
Randomly stumbled upon this and gonna love everything about it from the looks of things, really hope it comes to PS4 soon.
It will take probably around 3 months, I'm waiting for Nobody Saves the World to come to ps
out in two days 27/9 incase you didnt see it
saying the game is hard is an overstatement.
I'd put it at the medium difficulty in my oppinion.
One thing of advice playing the game: hug walls as much as possible!

Can't get over how beautiful this game is
Having just finished Elden Ring and was looking for something else to play after but also to scratch that itch, this game was perfect for it.
Bro they even got a boss wielding the Moonlight Greatsword.

Did you just show me all the bosses and a bunch of other spoilers?
installing it right now, remind me of the days of zelda four swords so ill be playing this game without a doubt
another W for game pass as usual
Awesome!
But definitely gonna wait for a Switch release. Indie games just feel more at home on Switch.
Lol
That's incredibly dumb.
yh same. playing while in train or in bed.
Get it on steam deck then ez
@@Blue-bv1ur too heavy. never seen anyone using it too.
4:20 oh oh.. and you play with a controller.. an obvious nod to Pong.. and umm.. there's a sword in the game, and obvious nod to Dragons Lair.. and umm umm.. there's achievements, an obvious nod to the first game to have achievements.
Can't wait to play this, if you guys like this, I'd recommend tails of iron as well, that's a side scrolling indi souls like game with a cute protagonist and all voiced by geralt of rivia!
That game is amazing! The combat is so satisfying and the plot is cool!
One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had in life!
It does have difficulty options under accessibility, at least per Gamespot.
yah, they probably should've mentioned that.
This game has the type of soundtrack I’ll listen to befitting falling asleep, it’s just so calming
What happened to only showing early areas. You guys showing everything in the game in the review.
This game is so pretty 🥰 lovely mid week Gamepass surprise
It's not indecipherable, it's called trunic, but the video is still very helpful and well made as always. Very nice
I'm playing this on Game Pass and got completely caught off guard by the fact that there's barely any legible words in this game. For some reason that made the experience even better
This def should have won indie game of the year - there's so much more game here than Stray
But stray has cat
One of the best games I've ever played. The concept of finding the instruction booklet is genius, even though it only helps a bit.
Why would you show the final boss battle in this review?
Thank you for the 60fps review ❤️
Not only one of the best indie games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing, but one of the best games I’ve ever played period!
This actually looks like a lot of fun.

What's the tune during the beginning of the review?
I'm so glad this turned out to be great. Definitely thought we had another long in development dud on our hands. Here's to Gotham Knights not sucking🥂
Just finished it wow its fantastic the sound track is beautiful aswel .
Wasn't expecting it to be so hardcore.
If it has memorable music, I'm sold
Reminds me so much of Death's door. Might just pick this up
Looks great, but how long is it?
Game Pass is the best thing to ever happen to mankind. Okay, maybe just for gamers. No... for mankind as well.

it is
It will be released to be in Game Pass in the ID@Xbox event going on right now.
Thanks bro! Glad to hear it
It is. They shadow-dropped it into GamePass
this review video revealed so many of the secrets you're supposed to puzzle out on your own...
This game is truly amazing and the closest us non Nintendo gamers will get to a Legend of Zelda game.
Not a single reference to Death's Door, which is more similar in terms of combat and looks, but as usual Dark Souls comparisons in every review lol
The first thing that came to mind to me was Death's Door lol. But this looks much better.
What's the background music
You see we need a game like this on switch
Theres like 400 games like this on switch lol.
It's coming to switch and PlayStation it's only a timed exclusive to Xbox and PC
@@Buddhakingpen Exactly. Just about all there is on the switch...indie garbage.
Game of the year for me.
It has also 2 endings, the second one is definitely satisfaction pure.
Review has major spoilers.
So far it's game of the year for me to
it was so awesome that it was at the store the moment they revealed it was hitting gamepass... instantly downloaded from my phone to my xbox S
Every review now always has to reference some other game. Don't think reviewers now would know how to review without mentioning another game.
Reviewer challenge: review a video game without saying the name of a different video game
It’s also available on Gamepass!
Feels like some Fez influence in there as well.
imagine just spoiling the fact that u fight the fox lady even though at the start of the game she seems like a friend
Is the game playbale with keyboard and mouse?
Cant wait to play this on the switch.
It’s not on switch it’s on Steam deck
It has Nintendo's level of polish, very impresive for an indie game.
looks fantastic and available on Xbox gamepass , amazing
Respawning enemies when you save is one of the more annoying things from souls be mechanics
as opposed to Zelda games where enemies reset on timers or when you switch screens? That said an hour with this game was enough. The combats pretty bad and controls in general aren't great IMO
Love how it was made in Halifax Nova scotia
This looks like the successor to Hyper Light Drifter I've always secretly wanted. Just with a cuter face.
Game was fun until the area that has crystals that drain your health to 1 HP. On top of that it disorients you and slows you down. Also the enemies can one shot snipe you from across the screen.
Found the gas mask that stops the crystals.
So the game is so hard that it makes it not fun?
@@BkBk-gy6vr its not that hard, when you beat a hard enemy its really satisfying but you can usually beat stuff after a couple of tries
At the last boss, you got to beat her twice. Get out of here.
Totally easy zone. If you come in the right way, unlock the shirt cut paths, reset. And then go through the short cut you just unlocked.
Only 1080p Gaming Video in 2022??
Buying this next time it's on sale on steam. It looks fantastic.
Tunic vs deaths door?
Pro tip for beating siege engine, run around him constantly. Just legit don’t stop
Finally a game that understands that players don’t read anything in the game.
yea im looking at these tutorials in a made up language that just say A button and even the pictures are like wtf is he supposed to be doing? lmao
Here for the PS Plus ❤️
It's on Game Pass? LET'S GOOOOOOO XBOX
