Legend of Kay Anniversary

"Токсичный комок шерсти вступил на путь война" «Legend of Kay: Anniversary» - это ремастер игры 2005 году с PS2. С оригиналом знаком не был, ностальгии не случилось. Плюсы "+": 1. Неплохой сюжет. 2. Разнообразные механики из игр старого поколения. 3. Простые головоломки и казуальный геймплей. 4. Временами хардкорна. 5. Приятный визуал и музыкальное сопровождение. 6. Адекватная продолжительность. Минусы "-": 1. Отвратительная камера. 2. Токсичный главный герой с приступами ЧСВ. Как видим, плюсов оказалось в разы больше ;) В целом удовольствие получено и это главное.

I played this one originally on a console and it wasn't much different of a port on the PC. It's not the best action adventure game out there, but it's definitely not a terrible one either. I think the characters are pretty cute and I liked the comic style cutscenes.

Legend of Kay Anniversary is a terrible game for the following reasons: 1. The story is bland and uninspiring and it's just another cliche about a loudmouth brat destined to save his world. 2. The voice acting, mouth movement and the script is atrocious. 3. Sometimes the cutscenes are presented in animated comic panels however the drawings in the panels sometimes look weird. Also sometimes there are even mistakes. For example in the cutscene you see when you make it at the misty islands we see frog palanquin carriers carrying the rat king. The rat king gets down from the palanquin to scold some gorillas but when the rat king gets back on his palanquin the carriers are rabbits. 4. The camera sucks and will even get you killed. 5. The button mapping on the controller cannot be changed. 6. The game has no save slots and no stage select meaning if you missed something like a demon portal or worse your game glitched you have to start from the beginning. You would think a game that is supposed to be a remaster would have quality of life features such as a basic stage selection or the ability to back. 7. Some of the early levels take way too long to finish because they are filled with random objectives you have to do that sometimes require you to backtrack but the last levels are just straight forward. 8. Some of the moves are pointless to do as they require you to button mash in order to execute them. 9. The super move where you summon lightning for whatever reason does not have its own button and in order to execute it you will have to hold the attack button to do it leaving you vulnerable to attacks. 10. While playing you will find giant gems that change color when you hit them the only way to break them is by using your special attack, this means you will lose mana that you could have used on enemies but the worst part is that the game at least as am aware does not tell you that and it also does tell you what the color of the gems does other than give you points. 11. Your character can swim but for some reason if you swim long enough you will lose health and will have to start from a checkpoint which makes you wonder why you even have the ability to swim in the first place. 12. In the game there are portal that you can access through a demon potion but unless you use a guide or look up a walkthrough good luck finding the portals as the demon potion only lasts for 10 seconds. 13. Killing enemies drops coins however if you don't collect them fast enough they will disappear but because you get sworn with enemies on later levels and also in harder difficulties there will be times were you will lose most of them. 14. The enemies you fight feel like damage sponges because they wear armor and are always in ‘’block mode’’ meaning it doesn't matter from where you are hitting them they will block your attack and it will take you a while to take them down. (You are supposed to grab them but most of the time at least for me doesn't work) 15. The only weapon that is actually good is the second and third hammer but you can only obtain them when you are close at the last levels. 16. The final boss was super easy even on nightmare difficulty. 17. If you wish to unlock everything you have to play the game and try to get as many points as possible. 18. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ‘’races’’ are so atrocious that they need their own paragraph. The game has ‘’races’’ where you ride an animal and have to go through an obstacle course for no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason. The races are ridiculously hard and very precise no matter what difficulty you are playing. If that wasn't bad enough the races are also very glitchy and will result in you having to start the race again and again and that will drive you mad to the point of wanting to beat up the people who thought it was a good idea to include them in the game. It would have been ok if the races were just the optional ones. But no you are forced to complete some of them to progress the story. However they are literally pointless as they only give you coins for completing them or atleast most of them. The only thing that this game has going for it is that you play as an anthropomorphic feline and I like anthropomorphic felines however It would be cool if you could choose which of the four animals in the kingdom you could play as. Most if not all of the aspects of this game are not good and did not age well and only someone with nostalgic glasses will be able to appreciate it and look past its many flaws.

One of my favourite childhood classics remastered ♥️ Got this and Simpsons Hit & Run along with my first own PS2 and its always stuck with me since. The nostalgia definitely has an impact on how I view this game but honestly 10/10 for a cartoony platformer from the 2000s ✌🏼♥️

Couldn't force myself to complete the game. On the swamps the platforming becomes absolutely awful. You are either overjump the object constantly, or slide from it. This game is very irritatingly unpolished and I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Played this game recently due to it being one of the childhood games of a friend of mine. I wanted to stream it for him, and about halfway though the game it turned into something of a scoring challenge run for me, just to make the game more interesting. Kay is something of an oddball that I would describe as a "you're 10 years old, poor, and you barely have any games on the PS2" masterpiece. This is the kind of thing where, if you're a dumb child with no skills or standards but tons of free time on your hands, you could easily play this game for 200 hours and just lose yourself, just playing it again and again and adapting to its quirks easily. Admittedly, there are quite a few high points, such as an oddly charming dub (...ahem. I'm talking about the Italian dub. Seriously, just give up on the English voicework and switch to Italian. It works oddly well), very neat little comic-book-style cutscenes, as well as a fairly fun time routing yourself through the game in order to achieve a high score (this got a bit annoying towards the end, but I could easily see someone going whole-hog on that aspect). The soundtrack is also pretty decent if you like Asian-orchestral instrumentation in various styles. Oddly enough, one of my favorite parts ended up being the humorous story beats. While it's not high art, when you take a step back and look at the game, you realize that Kay is a game about "one young man's radicalization against hostile immigration by a foreign empire seeking to placate the sheeple with fancy public works projects, technology, and propaganda, culminating in his underground resistance striking a deadly blow at the heart of the system -- its corrupt, bickering rulers." And then you go, "wait, this was in a kid's game?" If you don't believe me... there are literally parodies of Che Guevara posters in this game. It's really funny. So, there's some decent stuff to like here, but I wouldn't exactly recommend the game. It's aged very poorly in a lot of ways, the combat itself is pretty ho-hum and tedious (and not terribly flashy), and... ...this gets its own paragraph because I truly, from the bottom of my heart, hate the camera in this video game. THIS is the worst camera in any video game I have ever had the displeasure of controlling. It doesn't turn fast enough. It has momentum, it REFUSES to ever go into a wall for the sake of your immersion, and it's basically never pointing where you want it to when it matters. The only game I would say even competes with how bad this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ camera is would be Kingdom Hearts 1, where the camera is so bad that it literally gives me a headache. This doesn't give me a headache, but I still wish whoever decided the camera couldn't pan up or get too close to a wall would stub their toe very painfully in the next few days. So, yeah. Bad camera. Like, truly, legendarily, generationally awful. It's not so bad when you're just going through the game normally, but it's terrible if you're going for a scoring run and trying to see where you're jumping so you can collect every last crystal in a particular arc of them. If you can get past that, what awaits you is a game that is "overall, aggressively mid, but with a few honest high points and a commendable level of cohesion/polish." So give it a shot, if you're so inclined. Steam's review system demand I either recommend for or against this game, so in lieu of a neutral option, I'd say give it a go.

Legend of Kay Anniversary – классика, но с оговорками (6/10) Это переиздание старого доброго платформера про боевого кота (настальжи ps2), которое выглядит лучше благодаря HD-графике, но всё же чувствуется игрой из прошлого. Бои бодрые, исследование интересное, а кататься на вепре – вообще кайф. Но управление временами туповатое и туговатое, камера неудобная, а диалоги порой наивные. Если любите олдскульные приключения в духе Ratchet & Clank, вам зайдёт. Если же ждёте чего-то современного – стоит отказаться тк игра явно покажется устаревшей. Вердикт: весело, но с шероховатостями. 6/10.
