shitty history, easy as fuck and boring, insane shit. probably the worst game in history.

Adorable Indie game with fun gameplay

My skills of not knowing what the story is in games is getting so much better. I had so little clue on this one that I skipped the ending as it played.


Great game, annoying technical issues on PC - FPS drops/stutters especially in intense combat, and crashes on occasion.

A gorgeous game but unexpectedly and needlessly difficult. I'll usually play everything on 'normal' difficulty setting but I had to knock this one down to 'easy' (there's an explorer setting too).
I'm not a fan of the Souls type of games and there's not enough variety here that would encourage me to persevere when the combat got too spicy.
I knocked the difficulty down at about 2/3rds of the way in and it made the game a much better experience. Still challenging but I could beat bosses on my 2nd or 3rd try rather than 40th and I wish I'd changed the settings sooner.
I'd really recommend checking the game out but if you're like me, don't be too proud and just pop it on easy to begin with and you'll have a way better time with it.

Jogo bom, mas foi esquecido muito rapidamente.

Beautiful game but the gameplay wasn't hooking me all that much. Enjoyed the time I spent with it though, just won't finish it.

I really hope no parents were tricked into buying this game for their kid, because unless you play on a difficulty lower than normal, this game can be fucking tough lol.

Lets start with the obvious, the games art style and graphics are beautiful. Its overused to say but its true, it really does feel like playing a Pixar movie at times. Its at its best when you are going through a shimmering forest or through the village, unfortunately the last act takes place in a darker area and while it still looks nice, I don't think it looks as good as it does in the brighter areas.

Peel back the "pixar botw-lite" layer of this game and you'll find babies first Souls game lmao. The boss fights and even some of the regular encounters in this game are deceptively hard, some to the point where its an annoyance more than a skill issue. A few times I debated lowering the difficulty but didn't need to in the end but a bit like Tunic, I don't think I'd fault anyone who did lower it as I think it can ruin some peoples fun with it.

Not much to say plot or character wise, probably one of the weaker points of the game. Kena doesn't really have much of a personality and the game is basically three mostly separate mini stories that somewhat tie in at the end with the main big bad, but its loose at best.

Overall its fun but I think its short length helps as I dont think it would have a lot of staying power if it was a longer game, but a great first effort from the people who are known for a majoras mask video. Definitely some design flaws in the game but I think experience will fix that for whatever they make next.

Kena é uma obra que com certeza merece ser jogada, o seu gameplay lembra bastante o god of war 2018 (inclusive achei melhor que ele). Gostei muito da história, em certas partes me fez chorar.

It's as if you mixed a game like Horizon with the aesthetic of a Disney/Pixar movie. Absolutely breathtaking in every way.

Sehr einfach, sehr schlauchig, teilweise echt putzig, stellenweise auch wirklich ohne jede Seele, mit 0815 Story.
Man merkt, dass hier entweder Geld, Zeit, Ideen oder alle 3 Dinge irgendwann ausgegangen sind.

I forgot to write a review of this, didn't I? Absolutely stunning game and with surprisingly solid gameplay. If only that final boss didn't suck.

No inventa nada, pero lo hace todo bien. Es probablemente el juego más bonito que he jugado en muchísimo tiempo y tiene una dificultad desafiante pero nunca injusta o frustrante. Pequeña joya indie.

Colorida propuesta de acción plataformera que mezcla mecánicas de grandes referentes con acierto, satisfacción y añadiendo su propio toque, acompañadas de un brillante apartado artístico y sonoro. Nada mal para un estudio primerizo como Ember Lab.

I bought this on a whim when it appeared in my Steam discovery queue. I like the look of it, and it looks to be an interesting game, so I decided to get it. 30 minutes in, and I love every minute of it. I'm pretty early in the game still, so the puzzles are still manageable. I am never great with puzzle games, so I hope I won't get too lost.

A quick game that doesn't really come together until about halfway through but it's pretty good once it does. Also, the character designs look like Illusion studio knock offs and I hate the little ghost kids' big creepy eyes. Which is probably how most people feel about the anime character designs I love.

Looks stunning and really is fun to play

One of my favourite titles of the year. Please play it! It's much more than just cute black rot side kicks followi... Okay the rot and photo modes with the rot is one of the best things never mind.


The cutscenes are the clear standout in this game.
The gameplay is fine but some of the puzzles just slow it down and are annoying. The plot is the most mid thing ever.

Its okay. The gameplay is fine but the world feels so empty.
