Best Puzzle Game – Tunic
Solving a puzzle that has had you stuck for hours is just as satisfying as beating the toughest boss. Having the secrets of the game revealed to you through your own cleverness is a special kind of feeling, one that leaves an lasting impression.
But when one interesting to solve puzzle only reveals an even greater, deeper layer of puzzle, things can really begin to open up in incredibly creative ways, and solving it all puts you on top of the world when you’ve figured it out.
That’s only part of why Tunic is the PSU staff’s choice for Best Puzzle Game in 2022. Tunic is more than just your average puzzle game. Everything about it is a puzzle to be solved.
It’s an incredibly layered experience that is not only plenty of fun to play and solve, it’s a gorgeously designed game with a better soundtrack to boot.
Tunic was such an influence on the PSU team that it was the unanimous choice, with no runner up.
