What are your playing this week?

I just started playing Tunic. I’ve heard several people say it’s great, so I’m going in blind.

First impressions were that the aesthetics do not feel interesting. The graphics look like default unity polygonal, and animation is quite rough. Physics objects are floaty and feel insubstantial. The outdoor lighting burns the colours in some areas, which feels unintentional.

But after 3 sessions of about 30m to 2h, I can say that I’m loving this game. The sense of mystery and discovery is masterfully embedded in a world that feels increasingly charming, the more it gets its hooks into you.
