I dunno man. I'm hyped by the game precisely because it's not "hype". It looks like a gorgeous, simple game. And that is all it needs to be. At least for me.

I'll take it. Is it coming out this year?

eh, i agree, wanted to get this on pc but now i'm not sure anymore. Looks good but the gameplay is not groundbreaking imho, seems like Alice Madness Returns (which is good, just not so new).
I wish gamers supported these type of indie efforts more and did not pair them against AAA games. Because they will never reach those heights in production values.
And then when the game bombs, indie devs resort to their tired 8 bit throwback games and metroidvanias.
We need more AA games like this one, daymare 1998, dangerous driving, biomutant, song of horror...

It looks as expected to me. Its a new studio that capable of delivering good animations. The gameplay doesn't seem to set the world on fire and its supposedly beatable over a few evenings. It might be a good purchase for a young crowd, its got a lower RRP as well.
In all honesty this looks like a good PS Plus release, probably not going to purchase. I might've if it actually hit launch day.

Has it been stated how long is this game going to be an Epic exclusive on PC? (Godfall too, for that matter)

Yeah I’ve been super impressed before but this video made it seem… I don’t know, old I guess? It loans many things from other games but maybe not the best bits, like I don’t think anyone are excited to play a long segment where you just climb on white edges.
Looks stellar though, the cinematics are pretty amazing, fantastic animation, and it’s made by a small team.

I saw someone guessing it would be locked to EGS for a year.
I don’t have a problem with Epic in general but with Steam I can stream to Steam Link or Nvidia Shield which makes it easier to play with the kids.

There is something incredibly relaxing about it, like a game I'd love to play to rest after binging on something hard.
Comes together just fine. Looking at the skill tree could be really short, for the better. Tons of framerate chugging but that will hopefully be gone on release at least on PS5, not a day one pick up but likely later.

I'm hyped for a game with this quality of animation and character designs from a 13 or less group.
It really puts things into perspective for studios that are 100+.

It's funny that everyone is kinda saying graphics look good but gameplay looks meh. Goto a Ratchet thread and I don't think anyone said a thing about gameplay at all, just how good the graphics are. It's gameplay is anything but ground breaking.

Damn. This looks really impressive. How big is this studio. This does not look like an indie.

Kena is cute, but it's not a Rivet...
Tribeca is a film festival, right?
I think to be show there they should polish the animations more.

Love this game, got it on preorder, very excited, but there ain't no way I'm spoiling 50 minutes of the experience voluntarily.
Of the two or three minutes I did watch, Kena's running style seems a bit basic but other than that it's very impressive - I'm reassured to see hints of the inexperienced developers showing through... make it seem more... legit?

They need to tweak these animations a little.
But the game is fine for what it is, I do plan on giving it a try, barring some major disaster.

This just seems to be the line to take for people who want to sound clever. It's pretty tiresome given how incredibly rare genuinely original games actually are.

Yeah later. Day one version is definitely digital. Retail release nobody knows.

Animation and combat looks a bit wonky but I’m looking forward to trying it

7/10 incoming? Hope Kena has a better future.
Ratchet has the wow factor in its graphics when it comes to gameplay. Kena looks good but when it comes to creating awe in gameplay it absolutely fails. I guess I would ultimately say that Kena looks like a 4k remaster port of a ps2 game whereas Ratchet would be a game made from the ground up for ps5.
I'm still going to buy it since I want to see where the story goes. Plus I think the cut scenes are going to continue to look amazing.

Yeah tell me about it!
The dude so bad its making it difficult too watch!
No wonder devs often script gameplay demos. Game journalists can make every game look bad

Difficult to know with this joker playing. Hopefully it's more complex
