This game has a lot of flaws, but I still recommend it overall. Happy to see an African mythos game, and hope to see more. Also the SBI "controversy" is a nontroversy and just typical racism veiled with coded "antiwoke" language, unsurprisingly. Also keep the clown rewards coming, it's just a running tally of racists for me and it gives me points 🤷🏾‍♀️

Great game with a great story. Had a lot of fun. Not too much back tracking for no reason like in some other metroidvanias. Solid game and would be a great start into the genre or someone to sit back and have a good time.

It's fun, and the setting and characters are different from what I've encountered before. Full disclosure, I am a fan of African literature (Chinua Achebe, Ngugi Thion'go), so this is right up my alley. I'm looking forward to playing more like this.

Update after finishing the game: - Phenomenal voice acting and soundtrack/score (play with headphones) - Really incredible story for a platformer/metroidvania - The graphics and environments are stunning, so great seeing a different setting/world being explored - Found the gameplay and combat to be fun although mostly fairly easy through the main game. Boss fights do ramp this up. The challenge areas can be incredibly difficult though if you are looking for a real fight and some of the trials to get trinkets are insanely tricky in terms of platforming. - The map could use some work. Would really prefer if the "fog of war" only lifted for areas you've explored in any given region rather than the whole section. - Controls on the glide ability could be tighter Overall really great little game, and considering it's the studios first title it's at an incredibly high bar in terms of quality and polish. Also can't really go wrong at this price for a 10ish hour experience. Worth it for the story alone. Curious to see what comes next for the world of Kenzera.

If you are like me, and you recently played Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, then Tales of Kenzara Zau might feel pretty good in comparison, but not excellent. But we can't let the "pretty good" be the enemy of "excellent", and considering the affordable price, wonderful art direction, touching story and unique setting, I think this is definitely a worthwhile experience.
