Guessed by @drbunnig

Tunic was the first "campaign" game (as in, it has a beginning and an ending) I played this year, having only just finished it in September. I've really been cramming all the games in at the very end of the year! It wasn't helpful in terms of getting this list done in time.

Anyhow, I really enjoyed this, even if it felt a little too brainy for me at times. Some puzzles were extremely cryptic and demanded so much from the player it was bordering on insane, but I mean, that's what the game's all about! This was clearly meant to replicate the kind of experience kids had with cryptic adventure games in the 1980s, and it does so rather well. I prefer my games more to-the-point I suppose, but I respect Tunic for being so creative with its 'manual' and for having a genuinely heartwarming ending.
