Saying Tunic has zero replayability is absolutely insane to me. IT EVEN HAS A NEW GAME PLUS!!
I kind of agree with OC's sentiment. The game is a masterpiece, but the puzzle solving and metagame is half of the game, if not more. Once you've solved that, replaying it is just going through the motions of a pretty OK action adventure game. I dunno.
It's like playing Braid after beating it. Another masterpiece of a game! You could speed run it—which I was very much into—but the thought of playing it again after that just doesn't interest me. It's just going through the motions.
That being said, its been years and years since I've played it and there's a new anniversary edition coming out with new content. I'm almost certainly going to buy it.
I loved the built-in speed run of that game. You only had 45 minutes to beat the whole thing. The first time I accomplished that, my time was 44:58 and some change! I lost my shit that I managed to juuuust squeak in a win! 😂
I ended up getting it down to 37 minutes. There are so many tricks in that game to speed it up. I wonder what the official best time is. Back in the Xbox 360 days there were a lot of cheaters using the back-end to submit bullshit scores. Or people doing save trading and all having the exact same time down to 1/100 of a second.
I've got my Tunic time down quite a bit too, and since your upgrades carry over I'm super OP with my health, magic, and stamina spanning basically the entire screen lol. To me it's fun to go in and just do a run here and there. Personal preference obviously but there's certainly replayability there.
NG+ is optional since it's not required to finish the game or appreciate the story. It's there for the challenge.
"Finishing the game" comes before the "replayability" aspect though. You finish the game first, THEN you see if it's replayable. So..... Yes, I completely agree? Replaying is usually always optional lol
