Hello Friends,

Today I will review the game TCHIA. Originally the game was a exclusive for EPIC GAME STORE. Now it is available on steam. Also, this game may look cutesy, but it is not really for very young children. There are death, enslavement, demons, and other dark aspects of people in the game. Although the game looks and starts out very child friendly, the deep messages in the game are somewhat dark. Avoid this game if very young child.

This game takes place on a actual island based on a real life location near Australia called New Caledonia. Although the game is fictional and probably based on some kind of legend from there, the people and the locations in the islands all use fake names and fake people names. The storyline is ok, and is a interesting legend about the island. Also the music is awesome and great. There are many collectibles in the game you can also find. The ability to soul jump into animals is pretty neat too. One really good point is you can pet any animal in the game, which is awesome. Anyways, here is my Pros and Cons list:

PROS:

- The world is quite beautiful in this game.
- The game can be considered relaxing while not doing the main quest.
- Lots of places to explore on several different islands.
- A young lady with special powers to fight evil.
- A storyline that could be considered possibly myth from the country.
- Ability to soul jump into any animal and control them.
- Abilty to pet almost every animal in the game, including dugongs and many other animals.
- Players can find clothing that lets the player upgrade different skills depending on what they wear.
- Minigames and awesome music scores.
- Easy to get all achievements. Although players must complete the whole game to get them all.
- Supports controllers. I used a ZEN PRO switch controller.
- Works on Windows 11 OS.


CONS:

- Some people may take offense about what they would define as "WOKE" stuff in the game. This personally did not bother me, but these range from one same sex kissing scene to some flags that show gay pride colours and other sexual orientation flags. If this bothers you, please avoid this game.

- Some bugs are in the game. One such bug is that i found it rains underwater and inside buildings.

- The diving minigame is quite difficult. If you do combos, which is basically doing one move to back to back moves, it makes it easier. Out of all the mini games, the diving one is the most difficult.

- This game is not for children. It is more appropriate for ages 12 and up. There are also things about death, slavery, violence, and other dark things.

- Some people complained of stuttering in the game. I have not personally run into this issue. I did have slowdown only on one part.

- No steam cloud saves and no Steam cards. They may add these in the future, but at the current time of the writing of this review, they have not been implemented.


Recommended game. The fact this was a epic game store exclusive game, and the woke stuff in the game make many people turn off this game. If you are interested, i suggest buying on a sale.

Beautiful soundtrack, tons to explore, and you get to possess animals and rocks. If you play for just the story it might be underwhelming. But if you pace it right, and spend time exploring and completing side objectives, it's very nice. Treasure hunts were surprisingly fun. I'm about to finish the game, and I wish it was a little longer just cause I want to keep playing. :)

Jogo bem relaxante, apesar de ser bem simples em vários aspectos é bem divertido, tendo um gráfico bem bonito mesmo tendo uma modelagem bem simples, tudo combina perfeitamente o mundo os personagens e uma excelente trilha sonora, parece até um jogo de Nintendo. Caso queira focar apenas na historia principal você consegue fechar em tarde, caso queira os 100% leva algo perto de 20hrs
