Yeah people tend to be turned off by one of Tunic's combat or puzzles, neither are basic enough for those not interested in that side of the game. I liked both but preferred the puzzles, drawing out some pictures of the endgame puzzles to help me was a blast! Some of the optional side stuff was too esoteric for my liking, but I'm fine not doing that if it's got no connection to the main story.

The instruction manual is one of my fav mechanics in games in a long time, Tunic came the closest to making me feel like Outer Wilds did. But I completely get people being down on it.
