It is rare that a video game gains unanimous appreciation from the community. However, ‘Tunic’ developed by Andrew Shouldice has miraculously done just that. Available on Xbox Game Pass, this gorgeous action-adventure clearly pays homage to The Legend of Zelda games without being a rip-off of the title. But if you combine that detail with its charming art style, it is easy to assume it’s simply a light-weight kids game.

And that’s where you’d fall into Tunic’s trap. Because the reality of its punishing, demanding combat could make Souls veterans grin. If that sounds like your kind of game, you can join the legions of gamers who have high hopes from the adorable fox.

Tunic is now available on Xbox Game Pass

Tunic boasts a mesmerizing game-world that takes cues from The Legend of Zelda but isn’t a palette swap. Your adorable fox protagonist isn’t simply a stand-in for Link and has to quickly come to grips with the game’s notable difficulty curve. But this is exactly what makes the game so endearing.

A beautiful world, rife with puzzles and mysteries, where dangerous enemies lurk around every corner and you stumble your way to greatness. And that might be underselling it! As the Eurogamer interview puts it, “These are my favorite worlds. The best worlds, if you ask me. The best of all possible worlds”.

And they are not alone, as Tunic has accrued positive reviews from many major review outlets like Polygon, Gamespot, and IGN.
