Wavetale

With Wavetale, Thunderful have managed to put a unique spin on post-apocalyptic worlds through its joyful tone, characters, style and more, making one want to spend as much time in it as possible and discover every sight to see. Of course, it helps that zipping around on the water is fun and makes for terrific gameplay, and the platforming easily evokes the classics. Audiences both young and old should give this a chance, as it’s a terrific action/adventure game with a lot of heart that shouldn’t just be ignored like mere flotsam.

Wavetale’s forgiving platforming and trivial combat arguably make the game a bit too easy, but its thoughtful narrative and gorgeous world will keep you happily glued to the screen throughout the entirety of its brief duration.

Wavetale is only four hours long and can be too one-note for its own good, but a captivating world and resonant story make it worth playing all the same.

Wavetale is an adventure that blends platforming and combat, but fails markedly on the latter. The parkour and exploration turn out to be smooth and enjoyable, but overall it always lacks that extra idea that could charge the game. The plot also does not stand out, although without major flaws. Wavetale is not bad, but it is also not interesting enough to prompt us to recommend it to everyone.
