Ein super tolles Spiel, nicht nur für Kids. Tolle Grafik, auch Erwachsene haben ihre Freude dran. Englische Sprache mit deutschen Untertiteln ist auch überhaupt kein Problem. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen 👍👍👍

Buen juego y buenos gráficos

Beautiful game

Nothing negative to really say about this. For a somewhat early next gen title, it does the PS5 justice. And gives a vibe similar to the early PS1/N64 games like Crash Bandicoot or Ocarina of Time, mixed with a Disney or Dreamworks movie. Visually, it's one of the best looking games I've seen, vibrant, sharp details and full of colour and texture (grass, tree's, sky box in the distance) plus the characters. The animation is also very nice, flawless actually, the dense trees and grass move on the wind and Kena's combat is smooth as butter as she transitions from one move to the next, there's no jank here. This is what Zelda: Breath of the wild should look like by now, yet sadly fails to; still relying on decades old washed out cel shading. The sound and music is very nice, whether it's the voice acting or fitting music. The music uses Japanese wind instruments, sparing tribal drums and delicate bell/wind pads to give a meditative and lonely vibe; perfectly fitting for exploring lonely ancient woodland where spirits remain. In terms of gameplay, there's some exploration and platforming/climbing mixed with a little puzzle solving and quite decent combat. You can lock on, do a weak or strong attack and evade or parry. You also gain some abilities from the little cute 'rot' creatures you find that become your companions. These range from binding enemies and heavy power attacks to a bow and using blue healing flowers in the battle area's. The collectibles extend to rot hats, costumes for Kena, unlockable perks or attacks, masks and charms that give passive abilities. There's even a trial area to complete difficult challenges for unlockables and a new game+ mode. For an indie game, this won't be finished in under 30hrs unless you rush through it on easy difficulty neglecting most collectibles. This game has an easy difficulty for those that want to enjoy the story or may be younger. And then on the hardest difficulty (master spirit guide) it will give veteran souls/borne/ring players a tough run for their money, trust me - it's brutal. On master spirit guide, some bosses are like those from Elden Ring but harder as perfect parry timing is needed and death comes in 1 - 2 hits. The story deals with spirits and death, your character Kena is a spirit medium or guide that can interact with the dead - helping them move on from 'limbo', but also must stop lingering evil or malevolent spirits. There's also a corruption caused by these malevolent spirits that is poisoning her village and land, killing the tree's and grass. Her little rot friends are able to heal and reverse this. Age rating, I'd say 10 or 12+ based on some of it's more somber themes and slightly darker/menacing looking enemies. I hope this indie studio make a lot more games, fresh and original games like this are strongly needed this generation. Between the Switch's vast copy/paste re-release library and the PS5/Xbox's many odd simulator and niche/generic titles, this generation is off to a bit of a slow start.
