How Tunic Goes Beyond Nostalgia

Tunic is the latest game to make my brain go "oh... huh... that's really cool" and so naturally I started writing about it. Eventually the game became a very interesting examination of not just how nostalgic appeal works but how it CAN work, where it can go and what it accomplishes along the way. Tunic is possibly one of the most powerful singular gaming experiences I've had even if the game itself is a pretty light 15 hour adventure in of itself. I suggest this game to anyone even half interested and this video (while spoiling basically everything) explains why.
