Combining the inspirations of Princess Mononoke and The Legend of Zelda sounds like a match made in heaven, right?
That’s exactly the vibes we get from looking over the trailer for Of Peaks and Tides, which really leans into the fantastical setting with gorgeous visuals.
It’s understandable if you watched that and were immediately enthralled, the game seems to channel what makes these stories of adventure tick, with a group of plucky survivors dropped into a stunning world filled with wonder and mystery.
Of Peaks and Tides certainly grabbed the attention of GAMINGbible’s Kate Harrold, who went hands-on with the game recently, and her words on it should give you something to look forward to.

One glance at this Unreal Engine 5 world should evoke memories and feelings that come from the Nintendo franchise, The Legend of Zelda.
It’s clear to see the breadcrumbs of Breath of the Wild here, but it’s not the only thing that springs to mind.
Studio Ghibli films can be seen in the art direction here, with Princess Mononoke being the leading example, as wildlife and heroes live together.
As a survival game, filled with crafting and exploration, it should appeal to a wide audience.

Starting with nothing but the meagre clothes on your back, it’s up to the player to use ingenuity and clever ideas to strike out into the wilds and thrive.
Seemingly, everything in this world is interactive, providing either a source of food, or materials for your base camp, or even weapons and armour. This is sure to capture the attention of those who love a good survival game.
The game is also filled with minigames, and a wide range of exploration options, including a glider, meaning you won’t be stuck in one area for long, and the vast world awaits.
