@topcyclist: I need to look at the Witness again. That was definitely one of those games where I stumbled around for a couple of hours attempting to figure out what to do next. If I NEED to use a walkthrough, it sort of defeats the purpose (and fun).

Totally agree with the GamePass rental experience. I am playing so many more games than I normally would. When I find one I really love, I'm definitely going to buy them down the line.

I think it looks cool but have never been an old-school Zelda fan myself (still like the games just never played em much)...in fact the only zelda I got into was when they went 3d on wii and switch. So i get others have super nostalgia for it just like metroidmanias and Castlevania like games i also never got into but liked games that copied them like ori or whatever.

My question is why people are so positive on some game being hard and needing to take a notepad out or decifer things in a book and figure it all out vs Mad and angry that Elden ring and the like dares to punish them. It seems people love tunic but bounce off and hate Elden ring. Anyway dont want to derail anymore.

Im happy its on gamepass, i heard the only issues for the game are the difficulty and that's alleviated by just figuring out how to play. Really think the book thing is creative and right in our faces the whole gaming era and no one tried to do it again...loved reading those booklets front to back as a kid and was shocked that people just tossed them (most of my friends) and then got mad when the tutorial part didnt tell them everything (back then you were expected to have read some of the booklet).

I wonder how the sequel will do since this sold so well, will people turn on it and say its just another one of those, get tired of the booklet, see some new clever idea as corny. Maybe put the booklet to a mirror and see a message kinda stuff.

I remember an old Zelda on Nintendo ds did a cool one where you close the ds to stamp onto the lower screen. Wish more games messed with the tech their on. Guessing they dont cause big wig execs at the front wont "get it" and wonder why people would waste resources trying weird ideas lol.

I think people just have this notion in their head that Elden Ring and Soulsborne games are just the hardest games ever, they're too brutal, and "OMG they don't even have quest logs? Trash game." I don't even think they're that bad. I'm not particularly a fan of difficult games, they just require patience, which I think people don't have much of.

I have been loving Game Pass for this reason. I have found so many gems that I may have not bought. Infernax (blog post) is a great example of this. Hell, even Guardians of the Galaxy, which I was playing (and really enjoying) before Tunic came out - I would have never played that game, mostly because I thought it was that terrible Avengers game for some reason.

I hope Tunic gets a sequel! I've been interested in those DS/3DS Zelda's as well.

@rorie: It will be worth the wait! It's actually pulled me from Elden Ring, which works out because I was looking for a game to give me a bit of a breather before jumping back in.

@av_gamer:Wow, I never heard of those Neutopia games. Looks like they're on the PS3 store.

Tunic really is awesome. I still getting WTF moments every time I play, it's extremely refreshing. I haven't turned off stamina yet, but I agree that it's great that the option is there.

@constantk: Thanks, duder!

I'm trying my best to not get spoiled either. I have watched a few build videos because you can truly make some insane characters and I'm curious. As for walkthroughs and "go grab this talisman/weapon/armor" videos, I've been staying away. They'll be plenty of time to min-max, either with another playthrough or a respec. If you're having fun, and it's letting you progress, it doesn't matter.

@bigsocrates: I had the same experience, bosses mostly taken out in a single try, but level platforming was what became diffiuclt later on. I still loved my time with the game.

Last Stand Media has a bunch of Patreon-exclusive interviews. Here's a Playlist with 27 of them made available to all on YouTube.

There are hundreds of interviews on the Patreon, mostly in the form of Scared Symbols+ and Colin's old "Fireside Chats" podcast. Sacred Symbols is a great gaming podcast in its own right (as well as Knockback and Defining Duke).

It's been some years since I read it, but when you said "modern" I immediately thought of The Circle series by Ted Dekker. It's a 4 novel series about a man being shot and waking up in a strange fantasy world. Now, every time he goes to sleep, his consciousness swaps between the modern world and this fantasy world. He starts to question what is real, what is a dream, who he is, good vs evil; all while attempting to stop a terrorist in the "real" world.

I know there are other series that share the world and possibly some characters, but I haven't read them yet myself.

Also, Dekker is technically a "Christian" writer, but at least for The Circle, it's more allegorical than in your face. Really just asking questions about good vs. evil.
