Tchia | Review in 3 Minutes 

I've been waiting for this game ever since its first trailer dropped. It seems like a charming and relaxing experience. My aunt lives in New Caledonia. And I would love to discover more of the culture and its vibes through a gaming medium.

This game is great and felt polished! The exploration, soul jumping, mini games, music, and heart. Solid performance on PS5 too.

It's certainly not without flaws but it's full of heart and really fun so far! Will we get a ZP on this? Tchia being nautical themed and all!

Any game with a poop button can't be bad

All faults with this game definitely are not because a lack of passion and care. You can tell there was alot of heart put into this.

1:29 hey finish those shrimps!

The map didn’t seem too big to me (compare to other games), and I don’t recall any frame rate drops or crashes, but I played on PS5 (not sure if that makes a difference). I agree that the story isn’t super compelling, but I enjoyed it. I liked how chill it was, and I always, *always* super enjoy flying in games. I just wish you could unlock an infinite posess timer after you’ve beaten the game. The only issue I experienced was where I got stuck in a crack and fell through the map while a crab, and the game seemed to recognize this, as it went to load screen and sent me back with the message “You got lost in the void.” Another time, when Loise gave me the camera and wanted me to take a picture, a nearby wheelbarrow glitched and catapulted me about two miles into the air. XD That one I couldn’t do anything about though, since I was in photo mode and the game doesn’t let you progress until you take a picture of Louise, but it wasn’t anything a simple load didn’t fix.

Thanks for the quick review

Planning on playing this one! Can’t wait

This game needs more attention! It’s beautiful and is infused with so much genuine culture

Sounds like there's a solid game in there and they just need to bake it a little longer. Excellent review though! Very nicely balanced.

I will def play this but will wait for some patches, maybe a 60fps for ps5 but if they can stabilize fps and get rid of crashes I'll jump in

I've only been playing it for a little while but the movement controls are very good, you can do flips and shit and slide and stuff like that it's pretty fun. Also you can use palm trees as slingshots which is also pretty awesome

Tchia ? Bless you.

I don't know if they updated it after day 1 but damn, it was showing upscaling artifacts (like ghosting) like crazy. If this game is not agressively upscaled (no idea why it would need it) than I just wonder what is the reason for all the ghosting.

“Semi-non violent” is quite funny considering the final cutscene lmao

Was looking forward to play it but the performance issues and bugs drove me away after a couple of hours in. Its a good game but needs some extra work.

i love stories set on tropical islands. why does new caledonia have water in the middle in the game? is this post sea level rise?

on PS5 the game runs perfectly

My favourite game this year

not my usual type of game but it does seem interesting enough to try out

I've beaten the whole game and all the artifacts location and treasure location but on ps plus, I enjoyed the game itself , I enjoy how u can explore, soul jump into anything, imma buy it next month for sure

Played it years, runs great. Awesome game.

Seems like the developers tried to deliver too much, rather than scale back and do less but better. It's a bit of a shame, because the game looks lovely and unique enough. Maybe a good stepping off point for future games.

Sounds genuinely pleasant for a chill game, hope they iron the wrinkles out before launch

I love this game!

Wait she... doesn't kill the people that kidnapped...hu I wonder how that works.

Despite the flaws, it looks like a pretty enjoyable game for some chill exploration. I might pick it up because of my inner culture nerd. Thank you for the review!

Here's hoping for a switch port 🙏

This game is amazing! The map is vast for exploration and the navigation system is pretty cool too. The only problem i have with the game is frame drops game could get really choppy

Shoulda played it on PS5. I've played it for a while now with zero problems.

Love the art style. But, those sort of games never really hold my interest for long. I couldn't see myself getting even 50% in, to be honest. I'm prob not the target consumer in fairness. But they're clearly great developers. Hopefully it does well as a release. Clearly a lot of time and attention has been sunk into this

Huge open world and a trophy guide that’s needs 100% completion is a huge put off. They really should of scaled this game back

Seems like Far Cry without the mass murder

2:45 the dude's never played morrowind, has he? 😅 (where you get a "loading area" every 10 steps)

It runs seamlessly on the PS5

Platinum’d the game yesterday. Great game

This to me appears to be a non bias review. Good job gents. That's what game reviews should be.

It's no A Hat in Time but it looks ok.

This game needs more polish like Stray had

Games like this should be co-op online or something at least.

I was so excited to play this game, but because of it's constant stuttering frame-rate, it's almost unplayable on the PS4. Such a shame...

So you telling me that i don't have to cut the trees to gather logs / stones / weed for fiber / ropes and have grid to craft like all stupid games nowadays?

Me hearing the breath of the wild comparison: "Ok, can go on the list of potential interests" Me hearing the Assassin's Creed comparison 10 seconds later: *scratches game out with the darkest of markers*

Great game for me my daughter to explore

This game's name sounds like a sneeze The character also remind me of the Xbox avatars, uh

game runs fine maxed out on my pc idk whats wrong with yours

I think I downloaded the wrong abzu

I was thinking of getting this for my 6 year old. Seems like the right age group my dude!😅

I don't understand the negative reviews, as every video I've seen of this game makes it look like a 9/10 experience.

Not on the Switch? Criminal

Another reviewer's description also made it seem like Breath of the Wild but buggier and not as good.

There's plenty to like in theory. But yeah, after watching 5 mins of gameplay I was bored, and the reviews just re-enforce that there's really not much there.

30fps on ps5

I tried it. Nice intro and art style. Got boring quick with the mini games copied from other games.

Damn! It needs some cartoon violence to it like Spyro, Spongebob or something 😒

When you don't have a story to tell, you make an open world game.

if i feel like playing wind waker, ill just play wind waker.

Breath of the Mild

The story made me cry hands down

With both Hogwards Legacy and Tchia (basing my intuition on this review) I see that the new Ubisoft-open-world-like games are trying to be interesting to explore and playful rather than “useful” to explore and grindy. I appreciate the direction, but I’m still waiting for something fun enough, or well written, or actually worth exploring for the sake of it. I think I’ll stick to the indie-small-but-focused games for the time being.

I think that this game would've been better received if the developers made it a story centered game with a semi open world, but i guess someone said "Hey, BOTW is still popular, do that" open worlds with barely anything to do but to collect stuff and look at how pretty they are are just boring to me, i played this for a couple hours but the game is way too simple for me, feels like the target audience is children, because of the artstyle, story and excessive size

This feels like Sable in almost every way, except more gorgeous

Lost me at "Semi Nonviolent" 😝

Pass.

Saved me some money. Thanks!

Dora the explorer 😂

Calling the art beautiful is like calling Coco Melon on par with Renaissance paintings.

Nope

30fps on PS5, gonna skip until it gets an update

so its ben 10 basically

Looks boring af

Said nonviolent. Possessed creatures might say that’s a form of violence given it’s a form of slavery.

I thought the game was just really weird and strange I just couldn't get into it.

Sneaking in forced agendas to expose my daughter to was very disappointing. I am tired of that

"Non-violent" video game? ...pass.

on PC ? you ain't a gamer

The worst thing that the main character is gay they are targeting children 😢

My boat is stuck and there's no going back. Can't move. Fuck this game. Going to a game that I can actually do things in.

SCORE: 2/10 We "Tried" Tchia twice, both times were played on OneXPlayer, 16gb, 4800U, & we "thought" this game felt like an extremely EARLY BETA version, As like most gamers, if Im just trying to find out if a game is even worth playing, u SKIP the story/dialogue a lot, this lead us to having NO IDEA where to go or WTF we were supposed to do, the game does have the quest objective, but NOTHING about where to go! We both gave up after approx 45mins. Its NOT like ZELDA BOTW, its LESS than 5% of what BOTW is or has to offer & Tchia is soooooo broken & just lame.
