Tchia Review - The Final Verdict

[@Khirashi10]

Saledonia? Wtf dude 🤦

travel between missions takes too much time? you can go across the whole island pretty fast with soul jump lmao?

[@mattgottesmann3514]

Respect for one of the few real critiques! It's a game for children with little gaming experience. Anyone older than 12 will get bored really fast by the repetitive tasks and empty, unremarkable world and story.

Ya know what this game needs? Is a add on( much like no man’s sky) where you can add surfing, or paddle boarding, or even wingfoiling. Add better combat. More enemies!

New Selladonia?! btw the framerate was not fine on my PS5, the game stutters like a mothereffer in fidelity mode, and also occasionally in framerate mode too, but way less. I haven't had a single crash though.

[@fiddlinman_1playsgames641]

The part that has stalled the game for me is the awful chunk in chapter 7 where you have to sabotage the factories to open up the prison. As said in review, combat isn’t fun, and due to limits on her spirit bar combined with placement of enemies v possessable objects to do damage, this part is a chore. Once I figured out I could, I skipped that gameplay chunk for last factory (that and I glitched into ground). Enjoyed it up until that point. But wow that ground it to a hault.

[@justinbeagley5151]

10 seconds in "... Inspired by new saledonia" Ah yes... A man who has clearly looked up, literally anything, in preparation for this review.

[@kevinthatcher1202]

I played this yesterday, and it is not good, it reminds me of a game made in dreams, a bad one at that as well, if and indy game is good, like hollow knight, then it deserves a high score, if it's bad like this, then obviously like any game, it gets a bad review, I'm mean she's like spiderman, she can climb any building, it's fun at first, but then you know they just can't be bothered to program what she can and can't climb.

[@coryburns4309]

@@kevinthatcher1202 i played it too. it rules, youre wrong. also botw has the exact same climbing mechanics. so that game sucks too? PS. If youre trying to claim it got a bad review because it's a bad game... then the fact that most reviewers are giving it great scores... MUST mean that its a great game. Based off your nonsense logic.

[@hugodogobob]

I got the platinum and had 0 issues with crashing or glitches. I played it for free on PS plus so I didn't have any buyers remorse. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as I decided to give it a shot without any prior knowledge of its existence. If you want a chill explore game with very fun movement and an easy platinum, play this game. The flipping and tree launches stayed fun for me the entire time. I had a few days off work and just smashed it, it was a blast and I might go back for the PS4 platinum

[@celecha]

Wow this is the first review I've watched/read of Tchia that's like 95% negative. Every other review says this game is worth getting. I think I'll still get the game to see for myself, but I really appreciate this review and your perspective!! Love hearing thoughts from both sides

Hm, other reviews seem to be positive. Well, I guess I'll wait till the game releases and for the user reviews.

[@ampwattzable]

This game goes out of its way to make itself worse. Your given this cool soul jumping ability to help with travel but there is never any animals near enough so you wind up having to chase them down only for them to run away. Then the only way to defeat bad guys is by soul jumping into an explosive but you guessed it... those are never around either. Then your given tiki summon but for some reason its on a cooldown. I wind up standing in a corner waiting for the cooldown like every three minutes. Its so bizarre, this game could be great. It has great art, the music is amazing and the story does an ok job but man do they hamstring everything else.

[@PotatoJonson]

Sounds like you were grumpy when you played it. Also probably not best to cram this game like you have to for reviews.

Played this game for 6 hours straight on release day. Love it. It’s such a charming little game with an open world done right. Proves you don’t need combat to be fun. Edit: I take this comment back. A forced scene at the mid game made me really uncomfortable and had me uninstall the game. I’m not sure why the devs saw it necessary to add something like that into an innocent game.

[@ChefRobWithTheDualSense]

What does woke mean to you? I’m curious.

[@spector969]

@@ChefRobWithTheDualSense Wokeness in terms of games or movies, just means injecting the entertainment with a far left-wing political agenda, often at the expense of the piece of media in question. So for example, in woke media, pushing diversity is far more important than historical accuracy, or in the case of fiction, staying true to the source material. Another example would be elevating female characters to such an OTT extent that they become Mary Sues with no faults, and nothing to learn. etc. Basically pushing a so called "progressive" message takes precedence even if it's at the expense of the narrative or setting of the story being told.
