Professional reviews from gaming critics
A beguilingly beautiful and practically pitch-perfect mixture of Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls mechanics, Tunic is a boundlessly charming and highly challenging adventure that gets so much right that it borders on ridiculousness.
Tunic has become a very special game to me. Its approach to game design is something I haven’t experienced in years and truly harkens back to a time when games felt off putting and mysterious. A time where Luigi just could’ve been hiding in Super Mario 64 and copypastas could be real. Tunic shows that its creators understand what made these games so special but doesn’t feel like a retread of other games.

Tunic is a Zelda clone in the purest sense possible; by this, I mean it takes its queues from the original Legend of Zelda on the NES. You are dropped into
Tunic harkens back to the 16-bit era with a challenging adventure full of discovery and wonder.

Tunic had a lot to live up to after years of built up expectation, and it doesn’t just meet them, it shatters them and stands out as one of the most joyous gaming experiences I’ve had in years. It takes a little while to feel at home in Tunic’s gorgeously rendered world, but once it clicks and the secrets of the masterfully constructed in-game manual start to reveal themselves, the resulting game is up there with the likes of Zelda in terms of exploration and discoveries.
Tunic is an isometric action game where players take on the role of a small fox on a big adventure in an unforgiving world. It might look cute, but it is far from soft, presenting a unique, cleverly mixed fusion of Souls-like combat and Zelda-like exploration and puzzles.
TUNIC has been around for a while already but it's finally available on PlayStation consoles so let's see what all the hubbub is about.
And yet, despite its obvious muses, Tunic manages to rise above mere flattery, by paying deeper homage to the medium itself.
Tunic is at once a puzzle game, an adventure game, and a beautiful piece of art that manages to recognize its influences while crafting its own, unique identity.
