Review Tales Of Kenzera by GamesCreed
The game has a brilliantly written and an incredibly heartwarming story that?ll help you through the progress of a loved one.
The combat that involves the Sun and Moon masks iss very fluent and highly addictive. Including their special abilities that take your battles to the next level.
The African themed visuals are gorgeous to look at and their deigns and colors are both vibrant and beautiful.
The voice acting is outstanding, and you can see their emotions through their voices. Especially, from Zau who seeks on resurrecting his late father.
Most of the time after I resume the game after pausing, my character freezes and I have to wiggle the controller to create for the character?s movement to happen.

Intrigue very well executed and explored
Explore sensitive topics in a respectful and well-executed manner.
Zau and Kalunga are incredible characters.
The dynamics of the masks are very cool.
The exploration and platform gameplay is appreciated.
Deadly traps cause headaches where they are not needed.
A somewhat dull fight
Few variety of enemies
He could have more useful skills in combat and exploration at the same time.

Good combat and jumping system of the protagonist.
Detailed and colorful scenarios
Rich information on African cultures
To be a metroidvania, it is quite linear.
There is no logical connection between the sections.
The hit-box of some enemies fails in close combat.

Zau has powers and abilities from the beginning
Fights are fun once you master the power of masks.
The boss fights are challenging and rewarding.
His art and music are magnificent.
Its story, unexpected twists and its cultural conception of death are moving.
Very linear to be a Metroidvania
There are platform sections that are only there to fill gaps.
The waves of enemies have no justification and can be frustrating.
Not much variety of creatures
The experience sometimes becomes monotonous.

A wonderful, deep, and well-told story.
Gameplay of a classic, enjoyable and smooth metroidvania...
Choose the dubbing in Swahili!
Technically a bit "dirty" and little variety in enemies.
... but without creative features and with some hiccups.

The Metroidvania elements here and there are too traditional.

Heartfelt, emotional story with strong thematic throughlines
A rich and magical setting that is brought to life wonderfully
A solid cast of characters, thanks in large part to excellent voice acting performances
Combat and traversal can both be fun, albeit from a superficial perspective
Looks absolutely gorgeous.
De-emphasizes exploration a bit too much
Map design feels too pared-back at times
Platforming is often let down by occasionally sluggish movement and some frustrating design decisions
Combat quickly becomes repetitive
Paper-thin progression mechanics.

Artistically very inspired, both visually and musically.
An intense and sincerely felt story
The two masks of the shaman are an excellent idea to articulate the mechanics of exploration and combat.
The dubbing manages to give an additional boost to the story.
Design of enemies is less varied and less brilliant than that of the characters.
Some platforming stages can be very frustrating even for those who have experience with the genre.
