sounds easy right? well you can only do one of these things at a time, meaning you have to let go of the oar walk to and grab the sail and adjust it to speed up or slow down then let go of the sail and walk back to the oar to steer again. The Raft, seems to be trying to be semi realistic with its controls forcing you to adjust your sails for speed, use the oar for steering and raise and lower your anchor. Since then I have never run out of breath, literally explored an entire sunken ship on one breath. Swimming, I am not sure if you are supposed to be able to hold your breath forever or not but one of the first few times I went swimming after some time the stamina bar popped up and rapidly drained till I passed out. this can be upgraded by finding stamina fruits but they only upgrade 1 point at a time or around.

Only allowing around 10sec of glide time and climbing. Tchia can climb like Spiderman straight up smooth vertical surfaces but your starting Stamina is extremely limiting. You can put pins in the map that show on your compass and raft also shows on the map but Tchia does not. The Map is strange in that it only shows your 'Last Known Location' that is updated either by interacting with a signpost or one of the synchronization type spots that reveal the location of collectibles on the map. I also see no difference with film grain or motion blur on/off the game looks and runs the same. I have not seen any noticeable drop in FPS though. The graphics while not demanding do tend to have a lot of ghosting and stuttering while moving the camera around, especially in areas with a lot of trees. Jumping from light hearted exploration and music playing to possessing a machete and slashing someones face.

The game is very cartoony with the graphics yet seems to not be sure if it is either a casual/relaxed adventure game or a serious story. However be aware of both some very strange game design ideas and at least one very frustrating bug. I will start by saying I am enjoying the game so far for the most part and wold recommend it.
