Seriously! I still am on the hunt for that feeling all over again in another game or watching others experience this game for the first time. It's crazy because even the Steam description of the game is a major spoiler.
TUNIC is another game that you can only play once. I recommend it to anyone who likes elaborate puzzles
Oh man that one was good. You can get a couple endings but yeah it's hard to really replay it I have found. I actually really did like Death's Door if you like Tunic. It's a lot simpler but has nice mechanics and a very dark and lovely story
Return of the Obra Dinn will scratch a similar itch
I agree and I loved Obra Dinn! Case of the Golden Idol is very similar, I recently ran across it and couldn't stop thinking about it until I finished it.
When I first played I didn't even know that you left the starting town. It was just strongly recommended to me by a trusted friend, and I took their word for it, and bought it without even reading the store description. It was truly the kind of wonder producing experience that old gamers don't get often.
Lol I didn't know anything either, and a friend of mine also strongly recommended because he wanted to talk about it so much. I tried it and stopped after like 7 min. He was IRATE. I didn't give it a proper go until like 3 years later. He thought I was trolling him when I started playing it, and it quickly turned into one of my all-time favorites.
Rofl, yeah if it hadn't come so highly recommend I would not have stuck it out. Because at first I was put off by the very obviously stock Unity-looking visuals, floaty feeling physics... it wasn't a good first impression IMHO. But it made a great second, and third, and fourth impression 😉 Game just got deeper and more poetic the more I played
Completely agree! I know a lot of people say you can't play it more than once, but it's actually a nostalgic journey for me to replay and do all the lore pickups. Have done it several times now and it hasn't taken away my enjoyment in the slightest.
Definitely. It feels good just moving around, checking things off your lists. 😌
