    This is a game that is crying out for either a more sparsely populated map with more deliberate encounters al la Breath of the Wild, or a more fast-paced hack-and-slash combat system.

    KAKU: Ancient Seal offers a great experience in a fantastic world, but certain design choices leave something to be desired.

    Kaku: Ancient Seal is sub-par in every aspect of the action-adventure genre. Stay clear.

    When Kaku: Ancient Seal is at its best, it shows the potential of a great sandbox adventure. Many of the design choices are spot on. Great examples are the choices to focus more on horizontal progression than vertical, and to fill the world with rewarding respawning items. However, at its worst, it is filled with some of the genre's worst design choices. The main offenders are cruel invisible walls and non-existent enemy progression. In between, Kaku: Ancient Seal is depressingly textbook good. Sure, the game works, but nothing stands out, and the polish to make it memorable is lacking. However, it does leave curiosity about what future titles Bingobell will deliver with more experience under its belt.

    It’s a thoroughly average 3D platformer that doesn’t do enough, good or bad, to be worth praising or condeming.
