VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “All told, Tchia feels like a tale of mismanaged contrasts: the easygoing island exploration’s tailwind becoming blunted by the design’s headwind. The skeleton of a richly-detailed wildlife & physics simulation is an admirable feat for such a small team, but it then over-emphasizes poor qualities like combat; that said, since there’s a clean split between better and lesser templates I can appreciate some players adoring this experience. It personally leaves me going in multiple directions, like Tchia’s dinghy being tossed back and forth in open waters. Awaceb harnessed Caledonian culture in numerous ways, but it most strongly resonated with me during sporadic rhythm segments rather than when interacting with the wider world.”
