I was blown away by Tchia. I'm really glad I got the opportunity to play this incredible game, which has obviously been lovingly put together by an excellent team. There were one or two teething issues when I played Tchia, otherwise it was a flawless experience. Once I got into the game (which didn't take long), I became addicted thanks to the amazing open world gameplay and the story you eagerly get absorbed in. If you like games that has a bit of everything in it, such as exploration, music, collectibles and loads more, then Tchia is a great game to invest in.
Tchia might very well be the most ambitious indie game we see in 2023. This open-air and open-sea adventure takes some of the best gameplay elements from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey and combines them into an adventure that’s filled with heart, humor, and compassion across a breathtaking archipelago. If you enjoy games with exceptionally designed worlds that are meant to be explored with a fine-tooth comb, I can’t see any reason why you wouldn’t love what’s on offer in Tchia.

Une lettre d'amour à la Nouvelle Calédonie, petite merveille du Pacifique. Un jeu qui permet d'en découvrir les paysages somptueux, la culture, les habitants, leurs traditions... Très original & enchanteur. A faire sans hésiter

Sometimes you just need to relax, calm down, and breathe in the culture, and Tchia lets you do just that. It's got its issues, the technical side of things is a bit lacking, and the combat can become a bit tedious with time, but when you're just wandering, seeking out new stories, taking in all the world has to offer, everything else falls away.
Definitely different from other dispersive and soulless open world experiences, Tchia is a tropical adventure that pays homage to the culture and territorial beauties of New Caledonia. However, this scaled-down version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has its shortcomings, including technical stability issues and a not-so-great story longevity. In any case, Tchia remains a fun game that knows how to make players fall in love with the unique culture of the Kanak people.
Tchia is an extremely fresh game, bringing a perspective from a very exotic region of the world. It’s beautiful to look at and to listen to and its story is quite well executed. Its systems are a bit dated, though, and there’s not much fun to be had if you’re not into wandering the map and exploring for yourself. The greatest delight is undoubtedly the discovery of a whole new culture of New Caledonia.
Tchia is a classic open world, that takes great inspiration from other games. If not for its tropical environments, its beautiful artistic direction and its culture, it would have been just another déjà-vu game. Instead, it’s a real invitation to travel despite its numerous technical problems. It's hard to resist its stunning landscapes, its sweet melodies and its relaxing rhythm. A generous and exotic game that made ambitious things with little meanings.
Tchia has left us slightly cold – and that in itself is disappointing, because we had high hopes for this title. If you’re expecting a Breath of the Wild-style adventure, as trailers and previews (even ours) may have led you to believe, you probably should keep your expectations in check. There is beautiful island fun to be had here, and Tchia’s abilities are wonderful – but by the time you’ve fought your way through its surprisingly drab and disappointing campaign, you’ll unlikely see much reason to return.
What a little gem! Had a great time playing this. Happy it was on PS+ otherwise I might have overlooked it.

Easygoing open world game. Very pretty graphically (Breath of the Wild-Esque), some interesting and varied gameplay, and a fun story. Maybe a few to many collectables, but, nonetheless a fun little open world with mild combat, and some occasional platforming

TchiaTchia is a delightful little game about New Caledonia. The game world itself is not little. The open world map is full of oceans and islands to explore. I would love to take a vacation there, hike up a mountain, swim in the ocean, and eat some fish and rice for lunch. As a vehicle to share culture, this game is a major success.
The gameplay of Tchia brings something new. Tchia has the power to become any object in the game. Want to roll around as a rock? Become a rock. Want to be a canister of exploding gasoline? Go ahead! Be bird and fly up to your objective. Be a fish and swim down to a secret chest. I love these possibilities. After playing games for decades, I love being surprised by something new. You really cannot get this kind of innovation from the major publishers.
The characters and game world all have a low budget, indie, novice developer feeling. I would never want to change that and I am certainly not reviewing this game as a big budget AAA game. I like seeing the labor of love in every wonky looking character and smooth textured cliff face. The world has a uniqueness that sets it apart. The flipside is that the game looks rough, like something made by fans in Sony’s game making game, Dreams. The missions in the game are limited and also optional. In the true nature of a “chill” game, any gameplay sequence can be skipped. The size of the game, though, means the game never outwears its indie style. There is an end game for anyone looking to collect everything.
Full disclosure: I downloaded Tchia from my PS+ Extra collection. I’m sure most people did. The game launched on PS+ Extra. I’m glad it did. New Caledonia looks like a cool place that more people should virtually visit.

Honestly the game seemed cute and nice but as I progressed into the game there is a scene in the game where your character who is a 12 yr old girl is a click and hold to kiss another girl her age and there are no option to choose to not to do it.
I feel as though that the player should have a choice on what they want to do and for the game to give no choice to not to choose really makes me feel that there really trying to sexualize 12 yr old kids and I'm just not ok with that.
I understand its a game but for kids who are that age who will play this game, I don't feel its right to not give them a choice.
My wife really loved the game up until that scene and just stopped playing.
