Description
Explore an open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville in Wavetale, a story-driven action-adventure game introducing you to fed-up fishermen, secretive hermits – and maybe a pirate or two. Traverse calm waters and surging waves as Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water.
Speed through the waves, swing yourself from housetops with your net, and defeat an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands. All with a bit of help from the shadows down below—and your cranky grandmother.

Critics reviews
Gaming Nexus
8/10
With pleasant visuals, beautiful music, and gameplay that most gamers will be able to autopilot through, Wavetale offers a fun way to while away a quiet afternoon.

7/10
A hearty journey that remains tonally consistent despite its joyous mechanics, with its pointless combat and customization not being enough to drag the experience down.

7.5/10
Wavetale is a simple adventure with a sweet story, featuring satisfying traversal, although it never steps out of its comfort zone.

Decent and Relaxing Platformer but Woke
2/5 5.5/10 Contains story spoilers! Game is very woke. However it could be worse b/c its mainly optional stuff in the journal/skippable. Outfits, 1 is a rainbow shirt. There are several gay characters: Klara has always had a secret crush on your mom. Cassius is gay with a husband, and they have a son, a big black guy who is the best builder there is and saves the day(gay hero elevation syndrome). Cassius has quest to find a ring so he can propose. (didnt like this b/c it didnt feel organic, instead just another checkbox to tick off) +Some more subtle stuff, like the pollution references for those that care about that aspect, but its the point and story of the game. + more subtle woke like 'stop grandma', (your elders are annoying and old fashioned and shouldnt be listened to) etc. +the big boss thing in the end is a dandelion that pollutes..? The dandelion, designated as a weed in real life, is one of the most healing herbs from root to flower to ever exist. You end up placing a 'modified' seed inside it to begin anew. Why even name it dandelion I found odd, unless its to seed misinformation and doubt in our young ones. Your mother was an activist fighting the dandelions(bad guys, who was actually the good guys) ═══════ ═══════ Anyway, the game IS fun, I had lots of fun and loved the free roaming parkour aspects! I loved the facial expressions, the visuals, sounds, music, and the voice overs was excellent. Loved the fact that the dead go below the earth and live at the core, instead of up in 'heaven'. Loved all the little details on items and houses, like the fisherman houses at the cliff sides, food baskets etc. Good controls, tho you need to get used to how you land. Once you have, its easy enough. Full rebind options, except the middle mouse wont apply and u cant rebind G which is for dialogue stuff. Great casual fun, boss fights are easy and not meant to be difficult and its sastisfying to butt the tall striders. Can recommend if your're able to look past the woke parts and enjoy it for what it is! 🐧 Arch Linux EndeavourOS

The tutorial made me refund this one.
The way the character controls doesn't feel great, it feels stiff and unnatural. All I wanted was a fun adventure game where to can walk on water and explore and fight stuff, but the game just won't give it to me. I'm so tired of there useless story tutorials, please just let me play the game and get right to the good stuff!!! Developers really need to find a better way to tell their stories, or just stop trying to cram them into their games where they don't belong and are not wanted. Game develupers, you are making a toy, not writing a book, please notice the difference.
