An amazing little game that takes the form of a Zelda-like, but offers so much more than dungeons and hack-n-slashing enemies. The core of Tunic is effectively just learning how the game actually works; basically nothing in Tunic, down to simple mechanics, is explicitly explained to you as a player. You spend the game having these "a-ha!" moments for things as simple upgrading stats, to things way way beyond. My only complaint is the true ending requirements get a little Fez-ian (if you know, you know) and might be over some player's heads or patience, but the dopamine rush is still there if you invest the time on it.
