I thought the reward for the puzzles was not good enough, either. When you play Outer Wilds, you figure things out, unlock a wonderful story, and learn tricks for other puzzles. When you play Tunic, you (eventually) figure things out and get a bad ending for a game that barely reveals anything, story-wise.
I also thought that requiring a web app or a bunch of paperwork to figure out the language was far too inconvenient for a game made in the 21st century. They borrowed the wrong lessons from Fez.
hey i learned to read the language in fez fluently. this is more like they took the wrong lesson from double fines Hack'n'Slash, where the glyphs are absolutely everywhere and look so much alike that the easiest way to decipher them is to replace the font.
