Dont be fooled by kena's cute pixar aesthetic. That game is BRUTAL.

[@XenMaster]

That final boss was way more difficult than I could ever have expected

[@darthwiizius]

The Aesthetic was created to respect the wishes of the Balinese tribe from where the story, art style and music derive from. Everything was signed off by the Tribe before release. The game was only made possible, with the high production values at least, because Sony financed it, so it probably would likely have been an isometric dungeon crawler and not a real time 3D adventure if not for Sony picking up the bill, they did the same with Stray too.

[@ThatIndianGamerGeek]

Couldn't play it coz I got too used to face buttons being mapped to attack prompts. Couldnt remap the controls so dropped the game

Absolutely! I started it expecting a fun chill game. Ended up googling boss strategies as if I was playing a souls game!

Can’t believe you forgot to mention the absolutely gut wrenching storytelling in Kena.

Kena Bridge of spirits is a game worth playing. You definitely get your moneys worth especially if you like exploring and collecting things

[@dunwannitok]

Kena: Bridge of spirits is one of my favorite games of all time. Beautiful graphics, smooth and well tuned gameplay, and amazing PIXAR level cutscenes. The story is very effective and emotionally moving. Really a shame it got overlooked by some.

[@Boss_Fight_Index_muki]

Ghost Runner 2 is one that really caught me off guard with how good it was. Definitely a great example of a lower-dev-cost AA game (maybe even single A cost).

[@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle]

Rimworld or Prison Architect (before Paradox bought it). Easily two of the most fun games in last 20 or so years, especially if you consider that you can mod the hell out of Rimworld if it ever gets stale.

[@rich8642]

I found it pretty meh, i mean it looks great but for a game that revolves around movement, it plays a lot like Doom, as in it completely lacks fluidity, each movement technique is disjointed and often leaves you feeling as though your character is intentionally going slower than what they're clearly capable of doing. I mean, you can dash at supersonic speed but your sprint is about the same speed as a 5 year old on a tricycle.

[@chrisblanchard6413]

Kena is one of my all time favorite games. The writing is PHENOMENAL.

[@ChrisLT]

Kena's a great game. It plays well and looks beautiful, plus it doesn't overstay its welcome. Definitely worth a shot.

[@MossXM]

Possibly unpopular opinion but I wasn't a fan, it felt so stiff to play. I appreciate it's a much lower budget/smaller studio game but being a huge Souls fan I couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll give it another go in future.

[@MinorZero]

@@MossXM There are always games that don't click. God of War was one for me, I gave it two chances before deciding the combat just didn't work for me and decided I should stop trying and play something that does work for me. There are enough options nowadays. Kena is one of the better ones, but that doesn't automatically means it works for everyone, even if you are fan of the genre. I played a lot of souls & soulslikes, but there are a few more popular indy/aa ones which I also gave up on, but did like Kena and had no problem with the combat myself.

[@mattbattaglia4694]

It felt pretty half-baked to me. Fun for sure, though

[@jirizarr_21]

I finished it in 3 sessions. It's definitely a good game that doesn't overstay.

[@brucepreston3927]

​@@MossXMI felt the same way at first...I think it's because your character has a much wider turning radius than in Souls games, and it just feels awkward if you are used to the the movement from Souls games...I got over pretty quickly though...Once you get most of your abilities the combat becomes pretty smooth and fun...

[@ItsASuckyName]

I'm playing outcast right now, and it is such a beautiful world to explore. Gliding through the jungle trees with that relaxing music in the background is such a nice feeling.

[@dunngyllite7883]

Kena - not new, but must play, period. My time at Sandrock (first game of this genre I played) kept me engaged for far longer than I thought it would (about 300 hrs). Not just for the gameloop, but especially for the really good writing (dialogues etc). And yes, there are twistssss. Trine 5 - looks awesome, great co op as well. Metal Hellsinger - wouldn't even touch it with forceps, because thats def not my kind of music. Does Palworld count as a AAA game in your book, or why is it not included here? Other than that - good list, will check out some of these.

[@CountdownMegaFan]

Thank you for mentioning My Time At Sandrock - it's become of my favorite games after buying it on a whim and I think more people need to hear about how great it is! The gameplay loop is incredibly addicting, the characters range from wonderfully weird to so, so lovable and the story is very well written and at times far more serious than one would expect from what many consider a 'cozy game' - the aforementioned twistssss especially. Pathea (the studio behind the game) is still actively creating content for the game, updates regularly and is very involved with the fanbase via multiple social media platforms (like Discord for example). There's so much love and care and passion stuffed into Sandrock, it's practically dripping from the screen while playing. Seriously, I cannot recommend this game enough.

[@arguekayes]

Kena Bridge of Spirits is a must play especially if you like difficult games with good combat, It’s basically if Pixar made a Soulslike. I might be wrong but it’s also the Devs first game too, before that they made Pixar style animated short films, which is pretty obvious in the art style and cutscenes.

[@TheDiligentTen]

Kena is amazing. Would love a part 2.

[@James-gj8rn]

I want a Kena Bridge of Spirits sequel man, Ember Lab's does amazing work, Majora's Mask A Terrible Fate was amazing so to see that kind of animation prowess in a game was fantastic, i really wish there was more that we could experience from the team at Ember Lab's, incredible stuff

Love the videos! But just a suggestion to the editor, instead of putting number 1-10 when you click pause or touch the screen you should put the name of the game then "#1" would be nice just incase you want to skim through the video but still see what the title of the game is . Keep up the great work guys!

[@Shadows_Inc]

I'm so happy you brought up Evil West. It feels like a modern day version of a good 2000s game, in the best way possible. It feels like a high-caliber spiritual successor to Darkwatch on the PS2.

Kena is the type of game if was the released on the PS2 or OG Xbox... it would have be a flag ship title for sure, people would be crying out about when they will be getting the 8th or 9th installment! it's REALLY good!

[@nightrunnerxm393]

Man, it's been a while since I last played Kena. It was a surprise that I enjoyed it as much as I did, and it certainly ought to get a sequel or two. There's a _lot_ of potential in there for both the story and the developer. It would be a real joy to get to do more with that world. It's _impressively_ solid. Sure, it's got a couple of rough patches (control scheme is a little unintuitive, as I recall, which could create some fake difficulty) but they never really detracted from the experience all that much. Just enough to be noticeable in a "well, that's there" kind of way rather than controller-breakingly infuriating to deal with. It's pretty, the core ideas are really intriguing, and it really does draw you in in a way that's astonishingly kinda rare in modern gaming.

[@hiimspee828]

Cannot recommended Kena: Bridge of Spirits enough. Amazing game that does combat pretty well(though it will seem a bit simple at first), story very well, and is a master-class in score/visuals/atmosphere. I have not played another game that was this stunningly gorgeous. That does make sense though, considering Ember Labs(the developers) was an animations studio before this game, and they definitely build on the strength. Check it out, worth full price, imo, but I know many will want to wait for a sale, which does happen reasonably often.

[@karlmark9967]

If you play Kena Bridge of Spirits, it'll break your spirit with its difficulty, then smash your heart with the story, I think it's a crime that there's no sequel for this game, it's no joke of a game, I had an easier time fighting Elden Ring bosses than the bosses in this game (You can't cheese the bosses in this game), the first boss alone killed me so many times that I got hooked on the game so bad and ignored all of my other games to focus my muscle memory and reaction time, but the real challenge is to not cry or stop your heart from bleeding because of the story, it's right there with Mircale in Cell Number 7, Hachiko, and The Steve Irwin Story.

[@theanimaster]

Really? I had the opposite experience - I enjoyed fighting the bosses in Kena - and for me it wasn’t too hard (except that boss in the trees and the one in the mountain) - but the game was just so enjoyable and compelling that I just HAD to learn how to overcome the bosses and see it to the end. Unlocking the world is also satisfying… and the spirits that come with their own history and stories -- it’s almost like being in a dream that somehow continues across a couple nights. Kena is definitely my soul game -- it’s weird how it just makes you feel like a better person playing it.

[@karlmark9967]

@@theanimaster it is enjoyable, hard things can be enjoyable (that's what she said) but after it offered me a greater difficulty and tried the said difficulty, nearly shit myself.

I spent about 8 hours playing Evil West on Game Pass and I would definitely recommend it. Kind of like Bullet Storm mixed with a God of War. Levels are very linear but there is a lot of opportunity for mixing things up in combat: Combos, finishers, knocking enemies off cliffs, impaling them on the environment, blowing them up, hitting their weak spots, etc. I played it on hard difficulty and I think that is the way it was meant to be played.

I was a day one buyer of Kena bridge of spirits. I highly recommend that game.

[@8bitboss929]

Kenna was a great game! Super fun great visuals and sound design. I want a sequel

[@FelisImpurrator]

Now hold up. The weapon customization is one of the best parts of Outcast 2, besides the incredible traversal. This is a baller list though. Quality games all around. Now this is a list from someone who plays indie games for real! There's a bunch more worth checking out too. Asterigos Curse of the Stars, Tchia, Atlas Fallen, En Garde...

[@whitewolf3051]

Looks like Outcast at 2:38 - 2:47 is what Anthem *should’ve* been.

[@FelisImpurrator]

@@whitewolf3051 Yup. Outcast 2 has peak traversal.

[@shoked99]

I'd still like to play Kena. I was interested from the first trailer. Thanks for the video.

[@SuitedCynic]

I absolutely love Kena, the game is perfect in my mind =)

[@PackN_Heat_Games]

Evil West was so refreshing. Just keep moving forward shooting vampires in a western setting. I'm sold.

[@Swancorner]

Loved Kena and Hellsinger, gonna give the others on this list a try 👍🏻

[@bensonsj98]

We love an Evil West shoutout.

[@zackeverson3666]

Kenna is such an underrated game

[@poppamic]

Yes love that game 👌

[@intellectic9155]

Yeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that.

[@tylerrondeau]

It’s so freaking good, I cannot believe it never got more hype

[@palazzo1113]

Kena is amazing from start to finish. And it's a gorgeous looking game.

[@dreygogames5900]

FACTZZZ!!

[@SilverMoonAscends]

Kena is one of my favorite games of last year and I want to go back to it soon.

[@Skeksis-skeksil]

I dont think the words "Boring empty starfields" were used accidentally lol

[@datbunneh3671]

Exactly. Started looking for this comment the moment I heard it.

[@cenciende9401]

What a pathetic grasp at straws

[@iconicboxing91]

Glad Kena is getting some love again. Its an incredible game. Some of the bosses are brutally hard. Specifically on Expert+ Settings.

[@aleszol]

Loved Chorus, really great game.

[@Scroolewse]

I was quite surprised when he showed that one. That game is pretty as hell

[@jroameverywhere]

PLEASE don't ever stop making these types of videos. Often the most ambitious ideas come from these games and they stick with me just as much as AAA games. Def gonna check out a few!

[@matthewnewberry9843]

Evil West is really good but they just won't fix the lvl replay bug.

[@jotarokujo7955]

lazy developers

[@matthewnewberry9843]

@@jotarokujo7955 As a completionist I gave up on lvl 3 when I found out they hadn't bothered to fix it since launch

[@reyennarhel2505]

Love that you talked about Kena! I also highly recommend Asterigos and Blacktail. Both are excellent indie games with interesting worlds and story.

[@randomgamerz3193]

Loved KENA it reminds me of immortals phoenix rising

[@LJ-qh2xr]

Blasphemy

[@darthwiizius]

Reminds me of Beyond Good and Evil and Pikmin.

[@Mega_Medz]

Kena Bridge of Spirits is one of my favorite/best games I’ve played in a long long time. Please take some time to check it out. I really hope there is a sequel or at least the company keeps making games like this!

[@MrSkullMerchant]

Outcast and kena are fantastic games

[@GrippeeTV]

Kena was so damn good. I truly hope it sold well enough to warrant a sequel. It had such old school Legend of Zelda vibes.

[@gameranxTV]

👍

[@KaiBue]

Bruh who is recording these gameplays, missed 3 shots in a row in Hellsinger 😭😭🙏

[@theanimaster]

Kena is just awesome. I was sold when the PSAccess team did a play through. The dev team does commercial animation (ads) and feature films and they’ve applied that talent to the game. The story is also pretty good - it’s rewarding to say the least, but there are certainly some tear-jerking moments.

[@RyanRocker]

Are there 'A' games?

[@Nick-bn6ch]

I guess that's a 2D indie game lol

[@lordmoreau]

A very good question brother 🤔

[@Slidezy]

Anthem starts with an A. I hear it's great 😂

[@SpencerfromEarth]

It's all arbitrary anyway.

[@RandomPS5Guides]

They are called indie games.

[@SuspiciousSilence]

I think I first heard of Kena: Bridge of Spirits on this channel a year or so ago. Awesome game, honestly. I really wish we can get a sequel one of these days, but who knows. The animation and art design is straight outta Pixar or Dreamworks. Good recommendation.

[@iangoen6862]

Banisher ghost of new Eden reminds me more of Greedfall

[@imFidiox]

Evil West is now installing. That. Looks. Sick. As. Hell.

[@RokBraker]

Same

[@imFidiox]

@@RokBraker Update: The game is actually really cool. Really corny storyline but the action is undoubtedly fun. Once you get the repeater shit goes crazy
