If you wanna play this game my suggestion is to play it until you beat, no looking up on youtube where to go or stuck here there, no, do it, finish it.

What i really like when playing tunic for first time is theres no tutorial, i like it. You need to figure things out for yourself, how do this, do that, just use "fuck around and find out" rules, i hate when tutorials slap you with unskipable text or npc literally nags you about this that, just let the player fuck around, more effective learning method than slapstick tutorial or "in-game in-universe tutorial"

The control, its feel very nice, clicky and satisfying to hit your target, visual also help the game feel.
I do note the auto lock system here is little wack, not very big problem but when your enemy can fly or go away fast, the autolock is reset so you have to lock again, also if you locked onto enemy, your sprint is directly goes into the enemy, this thing killed me many time, cuz i like my auto lock is not tied to where my sprint is headed, the last thing i want to sprint to is from an enemy sword hitbox

The OST is banger, the composer really knock it out the park, the music instill curiousity, calm, mysteries, dread, i dunno how to describe it but it really is magical, almost all music is unique and add to the atmosphere, proprs to the composer

Visual are GORGEOUS, i have 3 seperated moment when my jaw dropped or amaze just how good the art is, the spectacle, color, and added context to the scene really makes me goosebump even on multiple playthrough. And i really rarely get goosebump

Tunic is best when you going in blind and not knowing where to or how to, use the in-game manual book as your assistance, figure things out yourself, i promise you, the experience is something else

and yes, the game can get pretty hard (not in my case i apperently only do the final boss 3 attempt lol and most bosses only 5 or 6) but learn their pattern, you can do it, theres also assist mode if you really having hard time, but whatever you do, just play with no browsing

Its one of those game that can only be experience fully if going in not knowing anything and figure things out, you really feel like a child playing video game for the first time, that curiousity, the joy that we have when we young and exploring things both irl or playing games, its wonderful, i thought those memories or experience cannot be re experience, but im glad tunic offer me that, and i hope it does to you too
