Tunic is an amazing game.

I started playing it over the weekend and it's one of the best games I've played. The combat is engaging and the art/music is great. I love the design decision to include the instruction manual pages as items to find in the game, complete with little pencil marks on some of the pages making it look like someone's personal notes. It really hits the nostalgia of when games came with physical books.

Tunic is great, it really is a love letter to the instruction manual and note taking. The combat was so satisfying to improve at as well.

I just have one minor complaint about it, but it is kinda spoiling the game, and won't affect anyone unless they dive deep into the game

Secret Treasure 4: Vintage. I get that they wanted to reward people who figured out the language, but you cannot then make it an English Cipher AND localise everything except it AND hide 1 of the 12 secret treasures behind it.

They localised it, so a portion of their targeted playerbase will not speak English. They are now locked out of exactly 1 of these trophies, that is frustrating as fuck. And because I happened to notice that the booklet language does not change when I changed the game language, I thought I would have to learn toki pona or something, and gave up on a puzzle I would have probably enjoyed otherwise, because I thought despite me specifically speaking English, the developers would not be so cruel as to hide exactly 1 out of 12 trophies behind a specific language.

Yes, I am still mad.

Hiding like easter eggs or minor rewards behind it is fine, and although making ones own language would exclude more people from ever finding it on their own, it is at least fair.
