Back on Wednesday, we were treated to the surprise that Tunic would be shadow dropping on Xbox Game Pass as part of the Xbox Indie Showcase, and since then, Xbox fans have been spending countless hours with the little fox.
Here at Pure Xbox, we had a chance to play the game prior to release (before any of us knew it was going to be a Game Pass game), and gave it an "Excellent" 9/10 score, stating that "it’s an almost immaculately realised thing, a fascinating and fantastic adventure that’s one of the very best games we've played so far in 2022."
If you're interested in even more Tunic content, we had a chance to speak to the game's creator, Andrew Shouldice, about the influences that shaped it during its creation, in an interview we loved putting together a few weeks ago.
So, now that everyone's had a few days to play Tunic with Xbox Game Pass, what score would you give it so far? Let us know your opinions down in the comments below, regardless of whether you've played ten minutes or ten hours!

9/10 a t little game. Really enjoying it.
It's fine. Like so many of these "retro'esque" romps, it's too linear, but the gameplay is serviceable with just a bit of clunkiness and the lore fragments are presented in a fun manner. A great game for GP.
Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is the far better addition to GP this week. But I‘ll give Tunic another try.
@Mingus Don't agree at all. The voice acting, walking around and the fights of Naheulbeuk are generic and a chore.
I disliked Tunic the first ten minutes, until a review changed my mind about the intention of the game. It's ment as a mystery, with corridors and rooms you can't really see... but are there, and make the sense of discovery great.
I think it's a masterpiece. Honestly.
@Bartig Generic fights?! You have to play Naheulbeuk for more than 10 minutes too. But turn based rpg's are a matter of taste.
@Zochmenos ....linear? This game is not especially linear, especially because you get so little guidance. You may have picked a direction and been fortunate enough to find something, but the game world is very open for a game if this type.
@armondo36 The game gives you plenty of guidance once it's clear how you access it, but early vagueness and a few forks in your path (98% leading to a chest with extra coins and a dead end) doesn't mean it isn't linear.
I like it well enough, but it isn't much more than the good Link's Awakening clone it clearly set out to be.
@Mingus Haha, touché.
7/10.from me, I like it, but I dont think its particularly inventive or original.
Lack of localisation means signs and instructions are a mixture and you dont get half the instructions which is little off as the game isnt always obvious and I can see many not pesevering.
It also takes a while and few options befire combat seems fair or interesting.
However, its sharp presentation with a clean careful colour palatee and its carefully designed exploration with an emphasis on discovery, have been real pulls and make me want to come back and finish. Sweet title to be given on gp, hope lots of people enjoy it.
very difficult for me, but I love it 👍
Too early to tell for sure but about 4-5 hours in it's a solid 8 or 9.
