Of course, Awaceb has crafted a heartfelt narrative for you to pursue in Tchia – one which is directly inspired by New Caledonian cultures – although right now it's fun to do anything but. Gliding across gorgeous open plains, catapulting between bending trees, and gracefully scaling mountaintops is an absolute delight, as too is the freedom to head to whatever point of interest that catches your attention after a brief scan of the horizon. Exploration feels fantastic, enough so that you're effectively able to enter a flow state as you gradually gather momentum. What's clear is that Tchia has a strong sense of identity, with its prioritization of movement and locomotion helping to set it apart from other sandbox games already available. I’ve downloaded for free via PS+ Extra and bought it to help the developers as much as I can.After playing Tchia, I'm not certain I really understand what the point to all this is, but then I'm also not sure that I care all that much either. 10/10 from me for pure hope that this game receives a follow up. Tchia is the crown, Sifu is the wearer and Scorn… won’t ruin my review. ![]() It’s been my most wanted game for a long time and I hope the team work on a sequel to this over Sifu/ Scorn or any other that Kepler their parent company has made. I would top it to a 9 simply for the awesome soundtrack and pure passion project this has clearly been. So 6+ review scores are low but believable, 7-8 is where it’s at. Review Score: I feel Tchia deserves a solid 8, anything lower than a 7 comes down to subjective reviews but anything lower than a 5 isn’t appreciating the work that has gone into this game and it isn’t a broken mess. ![]() ![]() Im loving the customisable outfits which are plenty! More to come tomorrow and especially over the weekend when I have more downtime but I’m already practicing melodies for a cool video cut I’ll post at the weekend. I’ve got to go back for my trophies which I left at my house to play the claw machine. Currently I’m too engrossed swinging off trees/ flying around, climbing buildings and jumping off. It grabbed my attention even though he squashed a crab which got my back up a little after the loveable one from the trailers but I’ll get my revenge later on I’m sure. Enemies & Story: I am very early stages into the game but so far the gangs of enemies are easy to take out, the main bad guy had a great introduction and better than my favourite Little Big Planet game which was 2. That will keep me playing for longer if so. Flying around as a bird exploring the islands is the best feature, I’m not too far in to say the soul jumping will later last as long as you want but I sure hope we can and also glide without a stamina bar too. Room for improvement on some of these but still it’s a step in the right direction. Innovation ideas: While BotW has new ways for combat and play style using the slate, Tchia has the ability to transform yourself into a number of items/ objects and animals to mimic their movements or if it’s an object then you can see how good the physics are. I’d be more amazed if you haven’t already noticed it fits well and isn’t just a cheap gimmicky soundtrack thrown together unrelated to the games atmosphere. It has the perfect blend of paradise and wonder mixed with a family party vibe depending on your location and activity you’re currently doing. The music is both true to the games feel and if you’re like me you can get lost in it so easily. ![]() The lighting is exceptional, seeing the sun illuminate the clouds in front of it in any location of each island is a sight to behold if you can kick back and be adventurous. The raft is a one man Sea of Thieves pirate ship where you can drop your anchor at anytime, adjust your sail for speed and hop off and warp into a bunch of animals to go exploring or deep sea diving. The sea looks incredible and you can explore it in many ways. Graphics: For its style it’s perfect, Zelda is the closest thing and I’d lean on BotW and Wind Waker the most. There’s a lot of room for improvement which is a good thing when the first instalment into Awaceb’s small studio has already ticked many boxes that a lot of games don’t. There’s a lot of room for improvement which is a good thing when the first Tchia is a beautiful game to sit down and explore for hours. Tchia is a beautiful game to sit down and explore for hours.
