Hollow Knight Silksong might still be a secret, but it’s a great time if you like action platformer games. There are lots of new games competing to be the best Metroidvania game of 2024.
Some of these are Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, Ultros, Saviorless, and BioGun. A new game called Tales of Kenzera Zau is also in the mix.
It’s made by a former leader of Assassin’s Creed. It just came out on Steam, but it’s struggling to get noticed. Only a few hundred players have tried it in the first few days.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau was first shown at The Game Awards 2023. The person behind it, Abubakar Salim, is famous for being the voice of Bayek in Assassin’s Creed Origins. He made this game as a way to remember his father who passed away ten years ago.
In the game, you play as Zau, voiced by Salim. Zau goes on a journey through mythical lands to become a warrior shaman after his father’s death. He uses special powers to battle spirits and heal himself. The game is short but has beautiful places and exciting fights.
Even though not many people have played it yet, those who have liked the stunning graphics, fun combat, and great voice acting. They say it’s worth playing because of its low price, beautiful art, touching story, and unique setting.
With so many big games out there, Tales of Kenzera offers something smaller but still memorable.
It might not be as challenging as some games, but if you want a heartfelt adventure through amazing worlds, you can find Tales of Kenzera: Zau on Steam for $19.99/£17.99.
