Good news, here's another game saved from oblivion.
Thunderful Development's former Stadia exclusive Wavetale hits Steam this week, bringing its island-hopping story to the broader world just before Stadia's demise. Wavetale tells the story of Sigrid, aided by her wave-surfing shadow, on a quest to save a magical and ruined archipelago from its own past.
It's definitely an example of the genre of open-world exploratory platformers and action games that have proliferated in the wake of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but its stylish world and creatures do have a charm distinct from those games that are blatant copies of previous concepts. It's especially notable that it has two main ways of getting around: Speeding across the waves for one, and swinging with your net for another.
Wavetale also focuses on its cast of weird island-dwellers, like fashion desinger fishermen, cheeky surfers, and grumpy grandmas. There are obviously pirates, too. It'll release on Steam on December 12, 2022. It has full controller support and is currently listed as Playable on a Steam Deck. It's nice to see another Stadia exclusive that's not going down with Google's ill-fated game streaming ship. Horror game
