- Tales of Kenzera: Zau reviewed by Jarrett Green on PlayStation 5, also available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
The worst thing I can say about Tales of Kenzera: Zau is that it’s platforming and level designs are fun, clearly inspired by some of the best Metroidvanias around, but don’t really produce any moments that rival those inspirations. Its combat, though also simple and familiar, manages to sing thanks to the small but meaningfully different offerings of skills and enemies. And that action is ultimately just a satisfying break from the main attraction: a truly moving tale about how to go on in this world when your loved ones have passed on to the next.

Shout out to using a different hairstyle for the main black character.
Levels above the rest of this alone.
....Even Fortnite does this. Yall are just showing you don't really game. This meme was never funny. That one style still pales in comparison to Black characters without it.
@xKingx16 lol, fortnite is for babies. You were definitely born after 2000. You've probably never played a game from 1992-2011.
@@Bob-ti3uq In other words, even a game that is "for babies" does better than this. Epic self own much?
@Alexander_Kale how is calling people who play fortnite the lowest common denominators a self own? Admitting to playing fortnite is the only self owned here. Away with thee foul little fetus. You were born after 2000, your life is worthless.
@@Alexander_Kaleby your logic that would mean Taylor Swift is the best musician in the world
Dude who did this ain’t ever been a game director before and is an actor and it a personal story. What a great job
No Killmonger hairstyle!?? 1/10 😂
There isn’t a single person in this game that looks like ME 🤬how is it even possible for me to enjoy this
18 million subscribers but only 50k views, shows you how far ign have fell
3.2k dislikes to 1.1k likes is a telling number as well
because inc3ls run hate campaigns on any media that doesn’t cater to them specifically
@@acorlite More like because indoctrinated purple headed land whales like you care more about peddling ideological garbage than playing games with said garbage.
This is modern gaming community if it isnt all white dislikes
@@fayelis keep telling yourself that bruv
It has an Orí, Will of the Wisp-like gameplay. The nostalgia got me getting this.
anyone else is sus about the lack of SBINC mentions in the comments? someone's been deleting them
yeah they are deleting them
blah blah blah
Even /v/ is seeing any mention get deleted. SBINC is probably some glownagger op.
@@acorlite Prove you're not a bot.
Genuine question...what is SBINC?
It's crazy because the same people screaming DEI don't say a word if it's a Japanese based game like Ghost of Tsushima 😂
Fetishization of Asians is why.
It's because of how some feel like it has manufactured overhype and how it was introduced at the game awards. There is interest in the game, but you can tell when getting a corpo prop up.
Asians are usually fetishized, that’s why.
Interesting point.
Some people love to f*t*shize Asians, that’s why.
You don’t even need to look at the score at this point.
…Which is why you should watch the review.
Yet you have a underage cartoon character as a profile picture
@@AllmenshouldrespectallwomenI have no idea what my profile picture has to do with my comment, or why you’re assuming the character is underage (which makes you look like the creep here.).
@@_Cetarial you edited your comment because you were trembling in fear. Which caused you to misspell elementary level words.
Your profile picture is of a very very young girl.
Screenshot for evidence. The FBI warns the public about those who use cartoon avatars to lure in their victims. I’ll be posting this on X and Reddit
@@Allmenshouldrespectallwomenyou look angrily childless
Hemmmm the game is also on Switch, you forgot to mention it in the description
Thx

@@eradicatedpulse6896 based

Always love Bayek and can't beat that price on PS+.

OMG, im so excited, such technology, gamers gonna be superhappy. Something about Obooba bayak... So excited to play diversity game! Cant wait to see.
this is an anomaly. Free demo, Low price at launch, no Microtransactions, no in game shops, no time wasting mechanics or grinding and made by a small studio with passionate developers.
How is this an anomaly? The indie gaming industry has been extremely exciting these last few years. It's hard to find indie games with predatory practices
Yet you still didn't buy it cause all you can is yapping on social media 🤣🤣
@@pappi8338 Its published by EA, they could've easily forced "little something"
This is just a everyday metro game, just reskinned, literally thousands of same games out for free.
why is this an anomaly?
2.3K DISLIKES to barely 1K likes LMFAO
How can you even see dislikes
@@AhmadMustafaKashif chrome extension
What kind of loser downloads a Chrome extension to see what fake impact he and his fellow unfuckables collectively made
@@ericsun4663 You can always ask your care taker to download it for you if it confuses you this much
Short and sweet with a nice story to go with it. I'm enjoying it so far, surprised to see so many dislikes on the video though. It's not like the game has bugs or microtransactions, what gives?
This getting the same score as Steller Blade shows where the people at IGN have their heads at.
ign dumb
Why? IGN gives everything a 7
Stellar Blade is mid af
you think Steller Blade deserves a higher score ? lmao
@@DebaucheryParade Have you even played it? Its a badass game!
Main character is not a purpled hair female land-whale in a wheel chair -100/10
True hard pass no white characters in an all Black cast DEI is not represented.
IGN gave this game the same rating as Stellar Blade
ha. don't worry they arn't biased.... totally....
And.... your point?
He doesn't have one
@@DebaucheryParade the likes of my comment speak for themselves.
IGN gave Defcon 5 this same score back in 1996. OMEGALUL. Biased af
Why is this comment section such a cesspool.
This game looks amazing. Prince of Persia was a 10/10 for me so this has me hype.
Exactly
Wouldn't recommend it
@@thetimeisrite Did you play it?
I'm hear for it. I'll definitely give it a try for the price! Finally some different mythology!
To call the gameplay "groundbreaking" is laughable. The gameplay is basically the same as Ori but a lot more clunky and less satisfying.
'if not groundbreaking..'
which is why they probably said it's not groundbreaking?
How long to beat says 8 hours. nice but short :/
What do you want for 20 bucks?
perfect length
Gonna blow your mind with this one, baby. You can actually
wait for it
just wait for it....
You can replay video games! Neat, huh?
7??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????
are you cracked IGN?
7/10 seems fair. From what I've played so far I'd give it a 7.5. It's pretty sweet, the gameplay is nice. It's a decent single-serving game.
It runs like garbage on nx
@@joelsytairo6338 what's "nx"
What doea a 7 mean?
safe bet XD
Its means it's really a 3
Its the lowest score possible at IGN.
It means its very mediocre. IGN rarely give anything below a 7 unless its a complete and utter disaster.
@user-hl1ex6py8l That's crazy cause StellarBlade recieved a 7 from them as well. Isn't that interesting?
People please look on Aurion Legacy of Kori-Odan!
Thanks a unique theme instead of regular Samurai etc
Looks fun and priced at a nice $20 price tag. I’ll bite.
its free
@@DepresjaToFikcja no it's not. Atleast not on Steam.
@@DepresjaToFikcja Demo is free
on ps plus extra is free
free
Looks like a game where I'll be skipping through all dialogue and cutscenes
7GN strikes again
First platformer with this level of special effects
Okay! Bout time we got a decent Afro-fantasy game!
There's another one called Dandara based on an Afro-Brazilian warrior. It's also a platformer but with very different gameplay.
SB had a hand in this. HARD pass
What is SB?
@@cw6132sweet baby inc a bunch of racists who hate men and gamers
@@ethan123p4you people are pathetic
@@acorlite Pathetic? says you, with 100 different comments on a single video. Get a life
@@acorlite Nobody pays attention to you in real life so you sit on yt spamming nonsense eh?
This give Ori vibes
This gives never playing it vibes.
@@temperedglass1130 your loss poo-poo head
Pretty much is, but Ori did everything 10x better
It’s very much inspired by ori1 in the setting and even the narrative and themes but it has a unique enough spin on it that I’d recommend
Shocked they didn't give it a 9 tbh
Metroidvania needs backtracking. What do you mean you enjoyed not doing it?😂
This looks like a very solid attempt
🤣🤣🤣 solid attempt at what? plagiarizing or at telling mediocre stories ?
Lot of braindead people comparing this to Stellar Blade. Probably the same ones who compared Stellar Blade to Starfield just based on the review score
They promote DEI, but games don’t have DEI
@@linlaodenis2933 what?
the lack of diversity in this game is TRULY DISTURBING
Raised by Wolves prequel
whos here for ps plus free? ;)
No way this game is a 7. IGN just scared of ESG and backlash on twitter 🤣
Reported
Do you guys enjoy getting upset over imaginary things
Are you referring to the same kind of backlash that got one of IGN France's articles pulled? Or is it only backlash when the "other" side does it?
@@kosog6584 don’t listen to him. He has a underage cartoon character as a profile picture
Most reviews for this are actually scoring it higher than IGN 🤷♂️
Sweet bay Inc strikes again.

the game looks gorgeous

And it gets a 7 like Stellar Blade lol. sure.

It looks nice. I'll check it out
it isn’t better then prince of persia
And?
Ok?…

LOL the game bombed hard its not even in the top 300 games.
These kind of half-baked metroidvanias just make me yearn for Silksong even more :(
It's made by EA? pass.
Based on IGN scores, Sandland got a 6 and this game a 7… 🙄
7 this gets a 7 and prince of persia lost crown gets a 8 ?
Prince of persia is so much better than this game its litterally a whole different level tbh, this game maybe 6 and prince of persia lost crown 9
you played this one?
They gave it a 7
Why is this review posted at 8:30pm EST?
They don’t want ppl to see it
Doesn't really matter to IGN. There are people watching this in other timezones where it's opportune for them.
Time zones exist
@@DovahkiinChild which time zone is advantageous for?
@@mikeuk666 thanks big guy and which time zone is this for?
This is ea's ori basically
This is EA next failure basically.
@@temperedglass1130 dont worry ubisoft will show they are worse
@@ElGe-ei8vgwhat was wrong with the lost crown?
shovel ware game
At least the story and setting is original. Would rather more representation came this way, instead of messing with existing characters and IP
They need to make some updates to the game.. once you get Tshukudus might.. half the time I’ll press the button and it holds on its own and doesn’t let me do the dash
I’ve pre-ordered this so I’m looking forward to playing it
Looks like the same generic metroidvania crap that gets pumped out every other day.
Look at it
Game looks fun. Solid $20 experience
AI wrote this.
Can't wait to get this game. all the designs look amazing, the team did a fantastic job
Nah, it's childish.

No thanks
Shut up bot
@@KenGKaidenbot mad 😂
@@KenGKaiden angry?
His hair looks like a cornicopia!
All the people that claimed that they just didn't like "forced diversity" in their favorite franchises, and that what they actually wanted to see was new original stories with diverse characters, are liars. When a new IP gets made they don't play it and respond with the exact same recycled memes and negativity they always do.
Needs more DEI
Stop crying yt
cry about it
cope
White ppl when game characters aren’t all white:

7/10 Sounds fishy.
It’s pretty accurate tbh
African castlevania
Nope. It’s it’s own game. Stop trying to devalue their hard work
@@Allmenshouldrespectallwomenyou're dumb asf if you think what he said is something bad
@@Allmenshouldrespectallwomenfor some people if its a game in this style its a castlevania game.
Also if it has stats, bonfires, dificult combat and you loose your currency upon death. Its darksouls. It doesnt matter if its kena bridge of spirits, steelrising, nioh... its darksouls
@@AllmenshouldrespectallwomenHow is comparing to Castlevania devaluing? That's a positive.
@@AllmenshouldrespectallwomenLMAO 😂
Game can't even reach 300 concurrent players on Steam
Where are all those yapping "diversity and representation" supporters? Too busy screeching on social media to even buy the game?
LMAO
What a failure
Cause, unlike you terminally online clowns, we actually have lives.
What the hell are you even talking about?

Game looks fantastic
Why is everyone shitting on this game lol😂..going through comments and I'm not seeing amy positive ones
because the protag isn’t white
Idk it’s creepy and wierd. It is a decent game with great voice acting and visual style but for me playing handheld switch it ran horribly with constant lag and frame dips and stuff glitching put

there are less people playing this game right now than there are ants in an ant hill.
*fewer
Like how you have fewer brains cells than ants in an ant hill.
and you’re maidenless
The dude that was a game director had never been a game director before and it is personal story to do with his personal grief
@@Henbot the point is twitter creators with millions of interactions all claiming they're buying and playing the game to support it, yet the reports suggest literally nobody is playing this game.
6hrs only? uff that's rough
No time for this Stella blade for me 😂❤
I'm in
Looks cool just wish there was more ethnic diversity. Like, seriously guys it’s 2024! We need representation
why? it’s not the americas or europe
@@acorlite Africa is diverse and multicultural too. Other races can be African you know?
@@TheIcarusEffectnope just black. All others are other colonizers and foreigners
miles morales looking ahhh
Gotta be a must buy for me. At $20 IT'S A MUST BUY.
Where are ppl of other skin's colors? IT doesnt meet DEI standards!
All all whit3s this pathetic or is it just you?
prove it
they listened to you guys since you all hate it soooo much they took it out so you to could enjoy the game
not appealing in any way
Just checked steam numbers - 232 player peak, on release. HUUUUGE success!
