Tunic turns out to be the game you get when you combine the nostalgia and adventure of The Legend of Zelda with the puzzles and aesthetics of Fez.

This game does so much right with the dense level design and euphoric sound track that it can be quite jarring when you get stuck with the uneven combat pacing (particularly with the bosses) and unfortunate camera movement.

This game felt very special, but I was a little fatigued by the combat by the time I got to the endgame and had little patience for the final puzzles.
