Animal Well launches day 1 into PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on May 9.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Reminiscent of The Last Case of Benedict Fox, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU feels like 2024's definitive example of mismanaging Metroidvania 101 tenets. And it's a shame to be that harsh when its inspiration feels like a wonderful antidote to the soulless company (EA) backing it and the commercialized entity (TGA) which first advertised it. Through an impassioned sense of grief, Abubakar Salim wanted to craft a story that authentically tries to wrestle with those same feelings. That's a great achievement of the medium as a potential creative outlet. Unfortunately, though, it's saddled to a haphazardly-designed game that falls short of sustaining that enthusiasm and squaring up against its contemporaries."
Antony writes: "We talk with composer Nainita Desai on how she poured grief and acceptance into Tales of Kenzera: ZAU's stirring soundtrack."
Nirav from GL: "Animal Well has shattered my understanding of game design in the best ways."
I'm Loving it! The physical edition goes on sale tomorrow from LRG. I know a lot of people dislike them, but I want a physical copy of this game so I'm gonna double dip and buy it again!
At first I was like eh, then I clicked and seen there's more .
Miasma chronicles is my highlight. I loved mutant year zero to death and this is made by the same studio. Couple other good ones in there to
Pretty light month as far as content I would probably play. But it doesn't matter anyway because I can't even clear my purchased games backlog.
Only ones im interested is Miasma Chronicles and the premium games. the rest are wtf?
Oof
The only game out of that bunch I'm going to try is Zau.
