I used to play video games as a kid back in the early 2000s, but then I stopped playing. For two whole decades I didn't touch video games. Two months ago I started playing again, and Tunic is now the second game I've played as an adult. I had heard rumors about Tunic being super hard, unfair even, and similar to Dark Souls (which I know by reputation), so I was hesitant to pick it up. And in the very beginning, yes, the game did feel hard. It never felt unfair, however. And now that I have played for 10 hours, the combat system has "clicked" for me. The game doesn't feel hard anymore, it feels challenging in just the right way. And this is coming from a guy who started playing video games just two months ago after a 20 year break.
The game has a slow-burn start with an eerie atmosphere and an air of mystery. Then, when you unlock superpowers, it becomes a full-on power fantasy.
