Owned and played this as a kid but never beat it. Felt nostalgic and decided to give it a go again. Ended up 100% it and getting all the zoo animals even!
While not a perfect game by any means, it ended up having the same vibes as Jak and Daxter. Except in Jak and Daxter's case, they ended up getting more games to continue the story. No such luck for Kya, which is a shame especially given the cliffhanger and there having obviously been more planned for future games.
Still, the studio behind the game isn't dead (though it is funny that they mostly just make racing games, with their newest release being a checks notes smurf kart racer), and they celebrated the game's 20th Anniversary with a stream, so there is still hope of some kind of re-release, even if we'll never get a continuation of Kya's story.
Then again, they were also purchased by a blockchain/crypto company, so maybe not. :( Free them.
