Playtime: 15 hours 25 minutes Tchia starts off slow before the world begins to open up. It reminds me of Breath of the Wild lite, as far as the world and exploration part of it. It borrows a lot from Zelda. From being able to climb anything, to paragliding, to the use of a stamina bar that works just like Zelda. In this game you play as a little girl who ends up exploring a few islands. The game does a great job of giving you the island feel. Tchia is open world and like many of those games there are spots that once you get to open up more objectives for you to find and complete. I love exploring worlds and checking icons off my map. That’s what most of this game entails although many of the icons are simply items to grab. There are a few races to complete and shooting challenges but for the most part the game is simply traveling and exploring the islands. There is a little combat but what is there is sporadic and basic. By far my favorite aspect of this game is possessing animals, specifically the birds. You are able to possess every animal you find in this game, from birds to boars to fish to crickets. Some even have special abilities. But the birds are awesome because you can simply take to the sky and fly quickly over tall mountains or dense forests. It’s exhilarating. There is a stamina bar for this so you can’t spam it. But flying never got old. The story goes in some dark places compared to the atmosphere the islands portray. It ends up being one of the strong points of the game. It finishes up strong with a memorable ending. The music is really good, often giving me Lion King vibes. Despite tons of map icons that were simply go to a point to collect an item, I had a really good time with this game.
