It's hard to believe how such a small indie developer simply releases this masterpiece as their first game, WTF....I'm still speechless. What big studios fail at, Kena manages with ease: a likeable protagonist whose fate really gets to you, a beautifully designed world, great level design and, on top of that, challenging, really well designed and (almost) not unfair boss fights. I am blown away. The storyline is quite simple, but the "little" stories of the ghosts you accompany really touched me, every single one of them. I didn't think the game would get so close to me, but I was absolutely gripped by it. Just how great the game looks and how lovingly but also masterfully crafted the animations and cutscenes are, is unbelievably amazing. It feels a bit like the films Avatar and Princess Mononoke have been made into a Souls-like game, a dream come true for me. If I ever have a daughter, I really want to play this with her :)
