      The Aesthetic was created to respect the wishes of the Balinese tribe from where the story, art style and music derive from. Everything was signed off by the Tribe before release. The game was only made possible, with the high production values at least, because Sony financed it, so it probably would likely have been an isometric dungeon crawler and not a real time 3D adventure if not for Sony picking up the bill, they did the same with Stray too.

      I found it pretty meh, i mean it looks great but for a game that revolves around movement, it plays a lot like Doom, as in it completely lacks fluidity, each movement technique is disjointed and often leaves you feeling as though your character is intentionally going slower than what they're clearly capable of doing. I mean, you can dash at supersonic speed but your sprint is about the same speed as a 5 year old on a tricycle.

      Possibly unpopular opinion but I wasn't a fan, it felt so stiff to play. I appreciate it's a much lower budget/smaller studio game but being a huge Souls fan I couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll give it another go in future.

      @@MossXM There are always games that don't click. God of War was one for me, I gave it two chances before deciding the combat just didn't work for me and decided I should stop trying and play something that does work for me. There are enough options nowadays.
      Kena is one of the better ones, but that doesn't automatically means it works for everyone, even if you are fan of the genre. I played a lot of souls & soulslikes, but there are a few more popular indy/aa ones which I also gave up on, but did like Kena and had no problem with the combat myself.

    @CountdownMegaFan Před 26 dny +7

    Thank you for mentioning My Time At Sandrock - it's become of my favorite games after buying it on a whim and I think more people need to hear about how great it is!
    The gameplay loop is incredibly addicting, the characters range from wonderfully weird to so, so lovable and the story is very well written and at times far more serious than one would expect from what many consider a 'cozy game' - the aforementioned twistssss especially.
    Pathea (the studio behind the game) is still actively creating content for the game, updates regularly and is very involved with the fanbase via multiple social media platforms (like Discord for example).
    There's so much love and care and passion stuffed into Sandrock, it's practically dripping from the screen while playing. Seriously, I cannot recommend this game enough.

You won't be disappointed unless you absolutely need a huge open environment to explore. The game is gorgeous and the traversal broken up with some light platforming and Pikmin style puzzles and the story which comes from Balinese folklore is well presented with adaptions of Bali's tribal music well composed running alongside the adventure.

    I spent about 8 hours playing Evil West on Game Pass and I would definitely recommend it. Kind of like Bullet Storm mixed with a God of War. Levels are very linear but there is a lot of opportunity for mixing things up in combat: Combos, finishers, knocking enemies off cliffs, impaling them on the environment, blowing them up, hitting their weak spots, etc. I played it on hard difficulty and I think that is the way it was meant to be played.

    If you play Kena Bridge of Spirits, it'll break your spirit with its difficulty, then smash your heart with the story, I think it's a crime that there's no sequel for this game, it's no joke of a game, I had an easier time fighting Elden Ring bosses than the bosses in this game (You can't cheese the bosses in this game), the first boss alone killed me so many times that I got hooked on the game so bad and ignored all of my other games to focus my muscle memory and reaction time, but the real challenge is to not cry or stop your heart from bleeding because of the story, it's right there with Mircale in Cell Number 7, Hachiko, and The Steve Irwin Story.

      Really? I had the opposite experience - I enjoyed fighting the bosses in Kena - and for me it wasn’t too hard (except that boss in the trees and the one in the mountain) - but the game was just so enjoyable and compelling that I just HAD to learn how to overcome the bosses and see it to the end.
      Unlocking the world is also satisfying… and the spirits that come with their own history and stories -- it’s almost like being in a dream that somehow continues across a couple nights. Kena is definitely my soul game -- it’s weird how it just makes you feel like a better person playing it.

    Kena Bridge of Spirits is a must play especially if you like difficult games with good combat, It’s basically if Pixar made a Soulslike. I might be wrong but it’s also the Devs first game too, before that they made Pixar style animated short films, which is pretty obvious in the art style and cutscenes.

    Man, it's been a while since I last played Kena. It was a surprise that I enjoyed it as much as I did, and it certainly ought to get a sequel or two. There's a _lot_ of potential in there for both the story and the developer. It would be a real joy to get to do more with that world. It's _impressively_ solid. Sure, it's got a couple of rough patches (control scheme is a little unintuitive, as I recall, which could create some fake difficulty) but they never really detracted from the experience all that much. Just enough to be noticeable in a "well, that's there" kind of way rather than controller-breakingly infuriating to deal with. It's pretty, the core ideas are really intriguing, and it really does draw you in in a way that's astonishingly kinda rare in modern gaming.

    Kena is just awesome. I was sold when the PSAccess team did a play through. The dev team does commercial animation (ads) and feature films and they’ve applied that talent to the game. The story is also pretty good - it’s rewarding to say the least, but there are certainly some tear-jerking moments.

    I want to direct everyone's focus to Shadow Gambit really. It's so underrated. All the abilities of all the crew members are just so fun to use and they work well with the writing, too. It also looks great and it has a pretty good interface and some optional planning elements. They even got good voice actors (or are they developers?) that carry the personalities of the crew members really well. Only reason I can see to turn down this game is if you either are not into stealth at all or if you want your stealth to be absolutely unforgiving, because this game is rather friendly with unlimited retries and quite a bit of tolerance for mistakes even without retrying.
