The verdict
A beautiful, unique open-world kung-fu animal RPG with fun crafting and exploration, held back by repetition, shallow systems and a constantly chattering narrator. Skip it if you want depth or full price value.
Great for
Relaxed explorers and loot/crafting fans who like cute stylized worlds and can overlook shallow systems
Main risk
Repetitive, shallow gameplay and an overbearing narrator that wear thin after the first hours
