Tchia metacritic plus#
I guess if you are already subscribed to PS Plus then it is worth a try but think twice before spending $25 to purchase it. Not sure who I can recommend this game to. The game at launch has some levels of bugs and performance issues although it hasn't affected my playthrough that much, but I've heard others have had it worse. A lot of game content is copy and pasted and brings no value to most gamers out there, bit of a time waste. The controls I admit could be better and I think other gamers will agree here but it's not terrible for me. The world although is not a graphical masterpiece but it is lovely to look at and the art style is good. Tchia as a game actually has a soul and a great concept, unfortunately it falls apart in delivery and story telling. By no means is this game as terrible as my experience with Forspoken. I honestly feel like a sucker for marketing experts these days as this is the second sony exclusive I got burnt this year. The I honestly struggle to like this game even though I really wanted it be good.

I honestly struggle to like this game even though I really wanted it be good. I did appreciate my time and the beauty and comfort of the locales. There was just a slight lack of engaging content to propel the game forward. Overall, by the end of the experience I was ready to put down Tchia and move on. The rewards unfortunately don't really drive you forward to want to 100% explore the map, as they are primarily used for new cosmetics for Tchia or her boat. I routinely skipped the simplest sequence, the music ones, in favor of getting back to exploring the islands. Luckily the developer likely knew of the simple nature of the game and every gameplay sequence is skippable in the menu options. The various minigames are also fairly boring, Tchia is able to carve wooden stumps, play along in musical sequences, and perform various challenges for the slingshot, boat, and diving.
Tchia metacritic how to#
The gameplay is not without its faults, instructions and directions range from completely in your face obvious to being vaguely obtuse on how to proceed. The music feels authentic to the island setting and is well placed in moments of sailing and exploration. The vast draw distance allows you to see the other islands at all times, the water is perfectly clear to the sea floor below, and the soundtrack ties it together perfectly. The graphics and lighting do a wonderful job of actualizing the vision of the isle.

The story and gameplay here, though, is completely secondhand to the general vibes and aura of the islands. Luckily all types of animals are able to be stored into Tchia's backpack for quick and easy use, just don't forget to restock them there as bag space is very limited. I do wish the world was a little more denser in terms of its animals, it can be a little frustrating when there is no fish or bird nearby. Upgrades are scattered throughout the world which allow you to inhabit this objects longer or increase your own stamina for climbing, diving, and gliding. Flying over the scenic mountains and vistas or swimming through the various reefs are wonderful experiences.


These abilities greatly open up the speed of the exploration as the animals move so much more quickly and fluidly through the environment than Chia can. Tchia is able to shift into animals and objects in the world for short amounts of time, such as birds, fish, rocks, coconuts, lanterns, etc. Almost everyone you meet out in this world is cordial and relaxed, which lends to how laid back the actual gameplay feels also. You play as Tchia, a young girl with the ability to soul shift into animals and even inanimate objects at will, on a quest to rescue her father from pirates/monsters? (its kind of unclear) The story here is serviceable and the voice work definitely sounds appropriate for how the locals may speak in this area. The small development team at Awaceb, this is their 2nd game, set out to deliver a love letter to their home and were mostly successful in showcasing the uniqueness of their home islands. You play as Tchia, a young girl with the ability to soul shift into animals and even inanimate Tchia is an unabashedly cozy and wholesome game featuring beautiful and scenic island locales to explore.
