tchia is many things: cute, cosy and calming.
this game absolutely nails the aesthetic and commitment to representing the island nation of the games creator, which was really lovely to see and take part in.
however, it's not the most fun game of all time. it's repetitive, the combat isn't very involved and it's a collect-a-thon in a way that often feels at odds with the games message. the map ends up littered with bits to pick up, races, statues to destroy, camps to take down.
I would've appreciated a more focused game and there's a few design choices here which miss the mark. there's a lack of fast travel, which is fine if it wasn't for the fact the game wants you to bounce around islands for a cutscene but it takes forever and a day to travel over.
I'm fully aware I'm behind the times here but on my PS4 this game didn't run very well either with a lot of stuttering.
but hey, i appreciate this game for it's setting and cosy feel. I can see this being a great jumping in point for new gamers or children and it's perfect for that!
