Wavetale

Wavetale is a wonderful Stadia-exclusive action adventure game that marries intuitive and exciting gameplay with a touching and charming story. The aesthetic reminds me in wholly positive ways of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Submerged: Hidden Depths, but the speed of play sets it apart. I finished up my first play through and loved the experience; this is instantly one of my favourite games.

Wavetale is available as a Stadia Pro game, so if you haven’t used Stadia before you can sign up for a free trial and give it a shot at no cost.

Surf the waters of a submerged city! Unravel the past, save the islanders from mysterious sea monsters and discover secrets hidden under the surface.

Explore an open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville in Wavetale, a story-driven action-adventure game introducing you to fed-up fishermen, secretive hermits – and maybe a pirate or two. Traverse calm waters and surging waves as Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water.

Speed through the waves, swing yourself from housetops with your net, and defeat an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands. All with a bit of help from the shadows down below—and your cranky grandmother.
