I wanted to purchase this Day one after Abu's speech, and playing the demo but then - Denuvo :(. Now I have to wait until Denovo is removed before I can purchase.
Think I’m gonna wait a bit for this one, still playing through The lost Crown and just finished Blasphemous 2 (which absolutely slaps, play it). Plus Balatro has its hooks in me now. I have surrendered to the cards. I love the African art style, the color palette, gorgeous looking game. Definitely gonna play this one just a little burned out on metroidvania. I wish we got more games like this with art styles and cultural influences from other parts of the world besides western Europe/japan/U.S.
Absolutely love the artstyle. I'd much prefer this over the recent PoP. If only it had the same gameplay depth. At least this seems like a story that could resonate with me as someone who struggled with grief and acceptance a few years ago.
Was probably going to buy this one regardless of how good it is to support the devs because it’s nice to see someone work on something they’re passionate about
It's probably just because I'm old and not very knowledgeable when it comes to this kind of games but the whole thing reminds me of "Nights into Dreams". Maybe it's the purpleness and the spinning around. I don't know. Gives me good vibes anyway.
Bayek and AC origins should have had a continuation with his story. But I'm very glad he was able to develop this beautiful looking game I definitely will be checking it out!
I was sold on this game after watching the preview at the Games Awards. I am so glad it is good and recommended. Looking forward to playing it! Thanks Austin for the review.
This gameplay is really good, the platforming is good too, movement and fights feel good with the switching of the masks, voices are well done and so far the whole shaman aspect is interesting and enjoyable. The fact that it got 21% of 1 star ratings on ps is ridiculous, bunch of hating twats, this game is so fun, even if it's not your cup of tea it would at least hit a 3 star for everything else it does right
I've played through Act 1 as it was free on PS Plus - it's a fairly solid if a bit easy Metroidvania with nice platforming so far The only major flaw i've noticed is the serious lack of enemy variety, maybe that branches out in the later areas but i've only faced about 4 or 5 enemy types so far and only one boss fight. There also seems to be a bug on the PS5 version where when you open and close the map sometimes Zau will hit an invisible wall and you have to walk back in the opposite direction to resolve it.
Watched Salim being on the Playstation Access Podcast earlier today he seems like a totally great dude that to whoom this is an absolute passion project. Definitely sold me on the title that prior to this I didn't care much about.

I had to pause this episode on Spotify to come here and comment that this is hands down my favorite dev interview on this channel. Jake came with great questions and Abu came with amazing conversational skills and insight (he is an actor, so that probably checks out). Love, love, loved this episode guys!
