This game feels like watching a Dinsey film while playing it. One of the masterpieces for the year 2021. The gameplay is really challenging and wise. Reminds me of some Dark Souls Concept gameplay. It gave me enough challenge to maintain my sanity, to be honest. Kidding aside, this game actually created memory in my soul. This is the only game I played during the time I am recovering from my illness. I played this for hours and never got tired of it. I loved it too much. The graphics are too awesome. It really shines on the new consoles given its hardware capabilities. The story is great as well. Though the only thing I hated about this game is the fact that it didn't really focus much on the character backstory but rather threw us directly to the world itself. How I wish we could've explored more on the story of Kena alone.
