This game is so old I played it on my 1060. I should try it on my 3070 now lol.

It's very much a gamepad with a TV type game to me. Shame it wasn't on Xbox earlier it's a good fit for it. In a sad way I want to say would have been a good fit, but still. Better than never etc lol

I played it in 2021. Its not bad but the boss difficulty was ridiculous and not fitting. Pretty game though.

 

[Darsxx82]

I suppose a question of the time of console exclusivity signed with Sony. Otherwise, it's extremely strange to release the game so late.

That being said, If that's the case, yes, better late than never.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Not a bad game. Enjoy it Xbox folks.

Would have been a useful option for many who just played it on PC instead, or been more useful to Xbox a few years ago than the present moment.

 

[Roberts]

Didn’t get it when I had PS5 but will definitely pick it up now - looks fun.

I’ve heard more than once (including here) that boss fights are super hard. Are we talking From Software/Lies of P hard?

 

[NikuNashi]

Very fun game. Beautiful, responsive controls, perfect length, never gets old. Would recommend to the xboys.

They're very frustrating with no margin of error, but that's on the highest difficulty mode if you want all the achievements/trophies. They're fine on normal.

 

[Diddy X]

So I understand it was exclusive to PS, a multiplatform sequel es coming maybe?

 

[PanzerCute]

Great game, don't sleep on it.

 

[Fahdis]

Aaahh, finished it and it was decent. The poor man's Okami though.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Solid game, will be interesting to see if Kena is GP day one title.

Too bad that Ember Lab went back to animation, but it was a fine one-shot.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

It's a great game, check it out.

It's kind of like playing Knack and then every once in a while Cleric Beast from Bloodborne jumps in the game and stomps you into the ground for a bit.

 

[Mr Moose]

I thought it was already on Xbox.

 

[Physiognomonics]

You are going to love this guys. It's a bit like a modern Zelda 64 ish.

 

[skit_data]

Bought it and kinda liked it but it got way harder than I anticipated so I dropped it after a while. It wasn't the experience I was looking for at the time, but I could see myself picking it up again at some point.

 

[adamsapple]

I thought it was already on Xbox.

I think you're thinking of either Sifu or that weird game with the island animals.

 

[Toots]

xbox fiends treat yourself with this great game it deserves your time especially if your into ghibli type art direction

 

[Euler007]

I was really looking forward to that game and was very disappointed (it was my avatar for a long time). It feels like it was made by Dark Souls fans that didn't get what made Dark Souls good. Huge enemies with elastic limbs that are way more mobile than you, you feel sluggish and immobile and it becomes an exercise in tight punishing iframe windows.

Don't you dare speak ill of Bugsnax like that.

Is this true? I remember them talking about working on a new original game after Kena released. My info is old though.

Where did you get information from?

I've read somewhere that they've pivoted back to abimation for the time being but I don't have links so dont @ on that.

 

[Bridges]

Exciting! I was jealous of this one at launch, very glad to see it finally make it over

 

[lughnasadh123]

Was really surprised how much I loved playing this game. Enjoy it Xbros!

 

[skyfinch]

All the best games take forever to release on Xbox. What's next, Foamstars Xbox edition in 2030?

Fuck, my Series S looking at me all side-eyed in the closet knowing I'm tempted to sell its ass for a PS5 professional.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

 

[FoxMcChief]

I still need to play it. I think I got it on a sale for $10 at some point.

 

[tmlDan]

game is great but if you didn't play it already you never wanted to

 

[The Shepard]

I really liked this game, got the platinum. Hope they make a sequel.

 

[THE DUCK]

One of my favorites, great to see it get to more screens. Don't sleep on this if you haven't played it.

 

[Lupin25]

Game is on Ps Plus Extra for “free” right now, it’s a no brainer to drop it on Xb and gamepass soon.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

It's a PlayStation console exclusive. Lots of Switch and Xbox gamers that haven't had the opportunity yet.

 

[dorkimoe]

really liked this game, got stuck on a boss and never picked it back up, Id get it again for xbox though

 

[tmlDan]

It's a PlayStation console exclusive. Lots of Switch and Xbox gamers that haven't had the opportunity yet.

it's also been on PC for 2 years with super low requirements

The Switch isn't capable of running it.

These don't seem to go together.

 

[tmlDan]

These don't seem to go together.

The switch is lower than low, its gutter trash spec-wise

 

[bumpkin]

I enjoyed the game on PS5, though I wish they had made some QOL updates like a mini-map and custom waypoints with an on-screen guidance/compass. It was tedious as fuck trying to “find” specific places on the map that weren’t the fast travel shrines.

 

[GHG]

These don't seem to go together.

Only if you have no idea about the technology that is defined as a "low spec" PC these days.

 

[Gaiff]

The switch is lower than low, its gutter trash spec-wise

A low specs PC these days is still far more powerful than a Switch. Hell, it’s far more powerful than a PS4 too.

 

[Ogbert]

Was the game rated ‘boring’.

 

[Goalus]

To me it looks like a good alternative to the Kameo sequel that we never got, i.e. I've always wanted to play it. But unless it is available on Xbox, I won't play it.
(Same with Turrican - I would love to play it, but it seems that its publisher doesn't need me as a customer. I have a Switch and a ROG Ally, so in theory I could play it, but I realized that I don't like handhelds.)
