Recomended if you get it at a sale, otherwise don't bother. It's a cute game that definitly had some Wind Waker vibes, the art is good, your traversal over water feels great and even if the story is pretty predictable (like you can guess almost every major story beat and reveal right away) but it does it's job and some of the caracters are great. It's the gameplay that's a bit lacking. You don't really get any new abilities during the game, so there is little progression in that sense. It's also extremely easy, i don't think i lost more than two hit points at a time and you regain health almost instantly, there are also like 4 different enemies not counting two bosses. The puzzles are mostly climp upwards and hit switches. For full price? No that would be a thumbs down, but it regularly goes on deep sales, think i got it at 85% off, and for that? Sure it's a enjoyable enough couple of hours.

Man, what a charming little game. Wavetale isn’t a difficult game. The combat is simple, and the platforming isn’t particularly challenging either—but that’s not where it shines. What really sets it apart is its unique movement system that lets you “ride” across the water. It feels incredibly satisfying. Skating along the ocean surface is pure dopamine, and when you combine that with platforming that just feels right, the movement becomes something really special. The story is very charming. It might come across as a bit cheesy to some, with touches of family drama, but nothing too serious. I finished the game in about 4–5 hours, which feels like the perfect length for this kind of experience. Wavetale felt like playing an interactive movie. Again, it’s not a hard game, and the story just flows (pun intended). The gameplay loop is fairly simple—go somewhere, do this, collect that, and return—but it works well here. Traveling across the water is so enjoyable that it makes up for that, especially in a shorter game like this.

This will do for a lovely gem in your collection. its all about the flow. A breeze of the old Beyond Good And Evil comes up when playing. Well written tale with nostalgic dubbing, in a small world where every polygon recieved love. STRENGTHS: - floaty, simple, forgiving gameplay - straightforward like in the old days - iconic characters and story - nostalgic design between Ghibli and Zelda Wind Waker - great soundtrack! WEAKNESSES: - Fighting controls are a bit underdeveloped - fairly easy good for all ages. This game will be a lovely memory one day. Amazing Soundtrack!! i'll keep this one close to my heart.

Short 3D action platformer. The game isn't hard in any way. The achievements are straight forward, no need to do side quests or gather collectibles, the only missable achievements are 4 challenges and speaking to the trader a few times, even then these can be easily obtained after the credits roll, everything else is story related. I struggle to come up with anything else to talk about, the game as a whole is quite cliche but it just works. If you're looking for something chill that you can finish in a day, this game is worth taking a look at, make sure to get it while on sale tho.

A 3D platformer with some very interesting storytelling and mechanics. As you surf along the waves, jump and race, you'll find it all works out in the end... probably. About 5 hours to 100*%. + Well crafted story and characters. + The drawn facial animations are adorable. + The dynamic music is great! + Very smooth movement over waves and land. + Cute sidequests. - The 'interruptions' of the tutorial are a bit annoying. - A fast-travel system would have been nice. - Side-quest items only exist after you get the quest. - When quitting, it should show how long ago your latest auto-save was. All in all an experience well worth having, a hearty recommend from me, yarr! --- *The last achiement is slightly broken, which took a little longer: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1823930/discussions/0/591761879137787368/
