Chindie Posted December 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2020 The worst named game in many a year is upon us. And it's not awful, apparently. Breath of the Wild lite x Assassin's Creed. It looks like mechanically it's pretty solid but err, your mileage may vary in everything else. I personally hate the way it looks and the 'humorous' presentation is marginally worse than cutting your bollocks off with a blunt hacksaw, and of course there's the big 'Ubisoft' elephant in the room, but it's surprisingly unshite if you can set that aside. Reeks of big discount in a few months mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted December 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hmmm. Looks decent enough but definitely not at full price. Especially when Genshin Impact does a similar sort of thing but for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 This is doing very little to make me think it won't be a standard UbiSoft game once the Breath of the Wild sheen wears off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you've had the chance to play it or seen much of it but for me as a BotW rip off kena Bridge of spirits looks a lot more interesting than this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 4, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2020 I kinda struggle to get past how much I hate the art style. It's generic, bland, flat, ugly... It has that whiff of free to play scalability. Which is all the more bizarre because the technical elements of the graphics are pretty shit hot. They just applied them to an art style which is utterly, utterly shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that it seems to be going for an older Zelda template rather than the BOTW template. Kena feels very much inspired by the likes of Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask which is great cause those are the classics. I am definitely more excited for Kena which is an indie game than Immortals that's for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Enjoying this so far. Think @Demitri_C might enjoy it too based on his last gaming experiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted December 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2020 Quick heads up. Just went to get this (as a Xmas present from the good lady wife) and it's currently available in a flash sale on Amazon for £30 instead of £50. Which was nice.

Just had a look and Watch Dogs Legions is the same price too - not that anyone will buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2021 Finished this yesterday. Not too shabby at all. Solid RPG, with decent combat and some fun puzzles all wrapped up in Greek mythology. Not in the same league as BOTW, but then again not much is. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
