Wavetale is a breathtakingly beautiful game that feels like a mix of art, story, and pure joy. Surfing across the waves is incredibly smooth and satisfying, giving a sense of freedom and exhilaration. The visuals are vibrant and stunning, paired perfectly with an emotional story that touches on themes of hope and resilience. The soundtrack ties it all together, making every moment magical. Whether you’re into action or just want an uplifting experience, Wavetale is an absolute must-play. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable journey!

[H1]Wavetale Sigrid is a young girl raised by her grandmother on a small, quiet island with a lighthouse. Forbidden from going near the water, her life is simple, boring, and peaceful until one normal day a terrifying dark fog surges in like a tidal wave and monsters invade from the ocean. The lighthouse flickers and dies, and the dark fog seems like it would swallow Sigrid whole until something strange happens; There is a solid shadow in the water, a true reflection mirroring every step she takes until she steps into the sea. Leaving everything she has ever known, Sigrid walks on water leaving her island behind to find new energy sources to light the beacon, push back the fog, and save her home. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3386482312 4-9+ hours to complete, Wavetale is a fairly linear game that takes place in a submerged city newly named Strandville and its lingering survivors. A simple, straightforward game that’s easy to beat and complete. Despite the presence of sea monsters, combat will rarely give a significant challenge as the storyline is the main focus just as much as the surfing and gliding on the water is. Character customization is available with a wide range of outfits, hats, and hair dyes that unlocks as you progress through the game. Overall, Wavetale is pretty enjoyable! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3386484818

I'm going to be honest, the story and art style of this game were great. I got it on sale for $2.99, and for the price I payed, it was completely worth it. If i payed $30 for this game, I would've been very disappointed with the outcome. Starting with the good, the cut scenes were amazing, and although a little long, they were never boring, and added to the story. The voice acting was a lot better than I thought it would be, and honestly, that's why I bought the game, because the trailer's voice acting caught my eye. The exploration is fun, but its very linear, and no reward or incentive for exploring the different islands during the main quest, you'll already be lead there to flip a switch (basically every quest). The only real thing that is "optional" during the game are Asta's challenges, and even then, they are on the path towards the next area. You never have to go out of your way to do the challenge, because in doing so, it is leading you to the next area. The side quests are completely pointless too. The money that is scattered around the world, and the only reward for side quests is only used the buy different outfits, and if that your things, go for it, but its just cosmetic. There are no item upgrades, and the side quests don't have any achievements tied to them. I also watched the credits, and it was pure silence with a black screen for over 5 minutes. No background music, so cool scene, nothing. I didn't care if there was another cut scene after the credits or not, but to sit through the credits with NO music was really painful, especially since the music kicked in as soon as the "Thanks For Playing" came up, it was a deliberate choice to keep it silent, and it made me not even want to watch them. tldr: Story and voice acting/animation are really good, but exploration is a bit of a let down and side quests are pointless. Surfing is cool though.

Enjoyed the heck out of this game. Definitely worthy of being called a hidden gem. My only two gripes is that it's a bit on the easy side, and it's over way too soon. Still, if you can get this game on a discount, I highly recommend you doing so. Really good story, the movement is really fun, the artstyle is nice, and overall, just a really good game...as long you can accept the fact you'll likely finish this, side quests included, in roughly a day. XD But, in some ways, that might be a good thing as at least it doesn't overstay its welcome. Really looking forward to seeing what else the developers cook up.

Well if you buy it on sale like I did for 10 € its worth it. Let me get into it. The ocean vibe you get from this game is shallow. In all honesty there are 2 ''mysterious sea monsters'' and they're not even sea monsters, so the game could've developed that further a bit. The game play and movement is nice, you can either surf or slide trough the map. The ''plot-twist'' was simple, not very well put. I completed it in 4 hours, but after that the free play mode is, well, shallow, there is not really interesting side missions. Overall interesting game. A bit more work this could sell for way more
