Wait for a sale, game is not that great.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

It was definitely massively overrated by some people on here around the time of release. They're pretty quiet now, so whatever.

Not as overrated as your goty’s

Kena is far better in fact

Wow, only two or three bitch-ass fanboy comments in this thread. I'm proud of you guys!

The game is awesome. The Souls difficulty spikes are ANNOYING, but if you drop the difficulty it’s much better. I finished it on PS5. Might play through it again if they add stuff to this version.

I don't want to hear the word "overrated" from the same person who gave that walking sim travesty 10/10 lol

Amazing game, buy this when it comes out!

It's not a very good game

 

[lughnasadh123]

Thank god this was another case of ignoring the negative word of mouth to try something for myself as it turned out to be a really fun experience. Absolutely worth checking out.

Agreed. I have it on PS5 as well. Solid game.

It definitely took them a while, and I doubt they had exclusivity agreement with Sony that was that long.

Extremely charming game with the kind of fast paced combat I enjoy. I low-key hoped that this long delay in multi-platform release meant that they were working on even bigger budget temp exclusive. However, IIRC they said they might not even be working on a new game, but a animated movie?

Without those considerations, the more platforms the better, obviously. They deserve lots of sales and success.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Disregard what this poster says as I don’t think they enjoy much of anything

Being a ps2 era type game with souls type combat is a good thing imho

The boss fights were actually much more challenging than I expected.
The game was also much larger than I thought.

And it looks great.

Truer words have not been spoken

 

[BennyBlanco]

Great art style and animation. The game itself is mid.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Great looking game that starts off kinda eh…but like other games gets good once you start getting some abilities.

 

[mayham2199]

Game was pretty cool but just didn't do it for me. I can see other enjoying it. It looks really great.

 

[Darsxx82]

Better late than never, but of course the reason for so much delay is not understood if it is not because there is an exclusivity clause...
Now it will have to compete with more current games and the great competition it has in Gamepass with similar games or better.

PS. And despite everything, the XSeries generation is going to be the generation where more numbers of games of all types and regions are launched on an XBOX console

PS2. Also in physical format? Interesting.

 

[NeverYouMind]

It is basically a ps2 era game behind all the fancy graphics. Combat, level design, puzzles. Everything is basic as a ps2 title.

You don't have to sell it to me, I was already going to buy it.

Are there abilities for faster movement or bigger/faster jumps?

Been awhile but I seem to remember a dash and double jump.

I didn't care for this game at all after giving it a few hours. The Pixar-quality cinematics suckered me into buying it. Nothing else convinced me to see it through to the end after getting through a few early areas and bosses. Gave my copy to my younger cousin as a bday gift - he didn't care for it either.

LOL at someone in a past Kena thread that said this game has better combat than the Souls games.

No GamePass . . . DOA. ha! Probably the best game that releases on Xbox in 2024.

Right because no one is interested in the new Doom, Indiana Jones, or Avowed game. Grow up, dude.

Should be a bit more careful with using your punctuation properly, some times

 

[phant0m]

It's really good. Imagine a cute Dark Souls.

it isn't nearly as challenging as any souls game

 

[EverydayBeast]

Let's read between the lines what Kena really is, it's an unknown game where you conquer "Corrupted" rot, there's collecting, upgrading and powering up all the trends are here, I cannot wait for a sequel and know Xbox players will enjoy it.

 

[Bernardougf]

I gave it a shot... pretty generic and boring .. didnt get the hype ... but well a lot of people liked.

 

[Thief1987]

On Master difficulty it's harder than any souls game, not for the right reasons though.

 

[Fahdis]

Don’t buy This game. It is basically a ps2 era game behind all the fancy graphics. Combat, level design, puzzles. Everything is basic as a ps2 title. It’s like a college student’s first game. The worst part is the difficulty spikes during combat encounters. The game isn’t even that hard but because the combat is so tedious, everything feels like it goes on forever.

Big pass.

One of the easiest games to play. There was only the second boss I died to once, that too because I didn't read the pattern the first time.

Git gud.

 

[pasterpl]

Got it around release date on my PC and never played.

 

[Duchess]

Absolutely loved it when I played it. New Game+ is excellent.

I'd be up for a sequel, but apparently that's not happening.

PS2 era games were some of the best tho.

lets bet on how few copies it sells

Let’s just enjoy the game and quit the fanboy bullshit.

 

[xrnzaaas]

w...without Game Pass? how does that work?

 

[PanzerCute]

Amazing game, play it.
