I don't want to bust into a conversation happening in the elekk discord right now but my hot take is that Tunic is a kind of mediocre game that has pretentions of greatness because it has a weird and unique gimmick
@coriander it has a gimmick?
@aescling Are you familiar with the game at all?
Genuine question, I don't want to either over- or under-explain
@coriander i know that it exists and stars a fox
@aescling Okay do you WANT me to tell you the gimmick?
technically Tunic spoilers but like just for the central mechanic of the game so
@aescling So basically the game doesn't have a real tutorial, instead what you do is you go around the world and sometimes find pages of the instruction manual that explain how different things work
The secondary joke is that the vast majority of this manual isn't written in English so you have to do a lot of extrapolation from the pages you find coupled with the little bit of information that you can actually read
re: technically Tunic spoilers but like just for the central mechanic of the game so
@coriander that is pretty cool, actually
re: technically Tunic spoilers but like just for the central mechanic of the game so
@coriander anyway if you wanna play a good game that does that play the outer wilds dlc
re: technically Tunic spoilers but like just for the central mechanic of the game so
@aescling I DO still need to play that DLC
re: technically Tunic spoilers but like just for the central mechanic of the game so
@coriander it’s actually incredible. they really did simply Do It Again
re: technically Tunic spoilers but like just for the central mechanic of the game so
@aescling the absolute mad lxds
re: technically Tunic spoilers but like just for the central mechanic of the game so
@aescling Yeah, it's a really cool and unique gimmick in what is otherwise not that very good of a game, IMO
