At first I thought this was what happens when Fez and Link to the Past got mixed in a blender with a dose of fox, then I realized that, no, this is NOT Fez. It's The Witness.
And considering how The Witness is almost the perfect puzzle game and Link to the Past is the perfect 2D Zelda and foxes are cute, Tunic is one of the best games I've ever played.
My only complaint is that the combat is not as perfect as the puzzles. It's good, don't get me wrong, but with Hades, Death's Door, and Unsighted in contention of best 2D combat, Tunic feels clunky. But as a whole package, Tunic is top notch.
Special review blurb for puzzlers: It's essentially a very, very, well done puzzle hunt with a 2D adventure game tacked on to it. I definitely screamed "OMG I FOUND THE META" at some point.
