![]() You can unlock new melodies by completing rock formation minigames, which provide you with certain abilities that help a great deal. Playing the ukulele is another important mechanic in Tchia. If you want to skip these sections, you’re free to do so, especially when some can take a bit too long to complete. There are scenes where you can take part in rhythm sections featuring instrumentation from the culture found in New Caledonia. Exploration is always rewarded, and one of my favourite things about Tchia came in the form of a treasure map that led to a wonderful adventure across the island, making me both utilise the various abilities on offer and search for clues. ![]() Minigames like slingshot target practice and arcade-style games can reap rewards, as well as finding treasure chests at the bottom of the ocean. Tchia’s appearance can also be customised in plenty of different ways, in much the same way as your boat. While you can’t fast travel on foot, there are plenty of docks that you can instantly visit as long as you’ve found and unlocked them on the map. There’re plenty of ways to customise the look of your boat, whether finding items by completing quests and minigames, or purchasing new stuff in various locations. Lifting the anchor, raising the sails, and controlling the helm gives you the freedom to control direction and speed, which makes sailing more engaging and fun. You don’t simply get on the boat and sail, either. Your boat is an important extension of who Tchia is. You only get a certain amount of time to take over animals and objects, but again, by visiting shrines, you can gobble on soul fruits to increase your soul-jumping gauge. ![]() It’s a useful ability that isn’t limited to just animals, and anything you can focus on, you can become. Some let you run faster, while others simply let you poop on people from a great height. If you need to get to a much higher area such as the top of a mountain, or cover more ground to get to where you need to go, you can use an ability called soul jumping to become one of the many local animals. Like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you have a stamina gauge when climbing or swimming, however, it can be increased by finding stamina fruit. You can climb up trees and use them to catapult you across the sky jump and glide off of high peaks become crows and parakeets, boars and deer, or tiger sharks and puffer fish to travel much faster across land, sea, and sky and use a fully customisable boat to set sail across the clear blue waters that surround you. There’re plenty of ways to travel across the mountains, jungles, and beaches, as well as making your way across the clear blue ocean. Getting around the islands was never a chore. Everywhere I went, something caught my eye and pulled me into such a wholesome and enjoyable experience. Tchia is filled with some smart mechanics, both new and familiar, and although there was a story to play through, I had so much fun pulling at the threads of mysteries scattered across the world, uncovering treasure chests that led to adventure and secrets that offered new cosmetics and skills through the use of music and soul jumping. ![]() There was so much to do and so much to see, and the ways in which you get around offer complete freedom. The overarching narrative focuses on finding a way to defeat the antagonist Meavora, but for much of my time in the gorgeous sun-kissed islands inspired by New Caledonia, I saw a young girl grow into a warrior, overcoming her insecurities and making friends with a host of colourful characters, all inspired and created by a passionate team of developers who are proud of where they came from. Tchia is a story of self-discovery just as much as it is about saving your father from a group of enemies called the Maano.
