Great awesome game kao is a cutie but my god this game is so weird I felt drugged playing it

Nov. 2024

A nostalgic platformer that was clearly made by a small team but is a vast improvement over the absurdly difficult original game. 'Kao the Kangaroo: Round Two' is heavily influenced by the surge of mascot platformers that were around at the time such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. You can complete this game within 3-5 hours, the graphics still look great and the controls feel nice (I played using a PS4 controller with no issues). My only issue was with the dialogue moments as there would always be an awkwardly long pause between each line, but it's a minor issue. If you were like me and remember playing this game on PS2 back in the day, then definitely pick this one up. Side note: I don't like the way they pronounce KAO's name in this! It should be "Kay-oh" like K.O. but they all pronounce it as "cow"

Sept. 2024

Underrated 3D platformer. I had a lot of fun playing this even if it was kinda short. Controls mostly translated over to steam release and I enjoyed how smooth the game had felt. It feels very much like a smaller version of Rayman 2 if you have ever played that.

Aug. 2024

Amazing game for $2! The plot is a little confusing, but this game reminds me of Crash and Spyro on the PS2 and a little of Mario 64 with the hub world. 5/5 rating for the price!

July 2024

The game definitely has a certain charm to it. The skyboxes look really nice sometimes, the Spyro--esque level desighn is nice, the presentation is overall there. There are moments where the environments really shine through, like the snowboarding level. That level has a decent sounding dnb track playing (sucks that the controls kinda blow cock and that touching any wall or anything in general will damage you), which is kinda the problem with Kao 2. Moments of genuinely cool or cozy things in a game that certainly shows its age. The biggest sin Kao 2 commits is the hitboxes and the poorly timed dialogue (save for the fucking final boss). What I mean by this is that with some enemies or some platforms, Kao gets hit from 5 feet away or slips and falls like some bumbling bafoon off platforms. This all leads to the biggest pile of shit in this game, the final boss (this is in context of doing the no hit achievement) but the first phase of the fight is complete bullshit as there are some projectiles that just become invisible if you go into certain areas of the arena, some hitboxes extend beyond what you would believe as the projectiles will hit you even if you are a few character lengths away. I still give it a recommend due to there still being some good environments and charm. It delivers what it says on the box, a nice romp through a sorta memory-holed platformer. Do not attempt the no hit achievements, I got very angry.
