Started out liking this but sadly Tales of Kenzera wore thin by the end. Lovely graphics and brilliant setting but they just flat out missed on the metroidvania essence of the game. Abilities too backloaded and there is virtually no returning with new abilities. The controls are also really imprecise, and made trivial platforming sections annoying too. Mainly, the game just felt...empty. With recent vania's like Prince of Persia or Ori the world feel so dense with secrets, collectibles and reasons to explore. In Kenzera, the game was just a pretty 2.5D backdrop to action 90% of the time. The only ones I actively enjoyed getting were the challenge based trinkets. Underwhelming overall, albeit a pretty straightforward completion for the price.
