Solid metroidvania that seems to take a lot of cues from Ori in terms of movement (which means it has good movement).

tunic is a wild game because on its primary layer it is a competent enough top-down action adventure game that doesn't do all that much in regards to its combat to stand out all that much, but on its secondary layer, it is literally the coolest fucking thing ever. the wild part is that it is entirely possible to miss that second layer lol.

A game like this could have had so many things go wrong but it didn't. One of the most intelligently designed and passionately made action games I've ever played, dropped out of the sky outta nowhere like baby Jesus on a stork, setting the bar for Game of the Year in fucking JANUARY
