Inoffensive but really boring for me. I played it expecting a playable Disney movie but what I got was a bland and empty world with gameplay typical to a modern PlayStation game - simple uninteresting platforming and climbing, simple action combat with a hint of Pikmin but not enough. All the story and intrigue for this game happens inside cutscenes so honestly I would’ve preferred a version of Kena I could watch rather than play. Another problem when trying to emulate Disney is that when something feels off it drags it down a lot such as the loading zones sometimes, weird death (or lack there of) animations especially for fall damage. Kena as a character doesn’t do anything interesting there’s no story there that’s ever unpacked just the tiniest of threads. There’s things to find most of which is a cosmetic or the currency for said cosmetic. Just really disappointing but in fairness if they were going for Disney the music and cutscenes sold me on that much - similarly to Raya and the last dragon I don’t know what they were thinking but I guess it looks right sometimes.
