    Kao isn't quite up to the task of bringing classic 3D platforming into the modern area. It's rather thinly designed (not much to do, not very interesting while doing it) and seems to prioritize creating a BIG game over a polished game. For example, the story is very rote yet takes an outsized portion of the player's time.

It's rather thinly designed (not much to do, not very interesting while doing it) and seems to prioritize creating a BIG game over a polished game. For example, the story is very rote yet takes an outsized portion of the player's time. There are swooping, neatly choreographed camera which don't communicate any narrative information. The exposition isn't in the gameplay, which is a pity because if it were it might have made either the gameplay or the story somewhat interesting. There is a story, but it's so basic that it might have been better cut entirely and told without any words or dialogue. The writing may have been too bland for any voice actors to salvage; it's certainly too big of a challenge for these voice actors. To put it mildly, Kao the Kangaroo is a classic 3D platforming game in which the 3D platforming gameplay isn't satisfying.… Expand

    Exploration, search for collectibles, clashes against enemies and bosses… the formula is ultra-known, but the work of Tate Multimedia offers a great adventure thanks to its successful graphics and an immersive cartoon atmosphere.

    Kao the Kangaroo might be a solid reboot that walks you down the memory lane for a few hours, but it won't be an experience that stays with you for a long time, just like any other game in this franchise.

    The return of the traditional 3D arcade was successful and kangaroo Kao gave us a real nostalgic blow. But there could be more worlds and content.
