The Generation GapWhat our critics say

The 2015 'Anniversary' edition of Legend of Kay brought a charming, martial arts-infused platformer from the PS2 era to modern consoles. While the original debuted in 2005, this remaster highlighted its timeless blend of combat, exploration, and light puzzle-solving. Its fluid animations, distinct animal-themed world, and engaging melee system showcased how a well-crafted, character-driven action-platformer could endure, reminding us of the genre's foundational joy beyond mere spectacle.

While the "Anniversary" tag screams remaster, the core of *Legend of Kay* (originally PS2) is a solid 3D platformer with excellent combat. It blends hack-and-slash with satisfying platforming, wrapped in a charming Eastern-inspired aesthetic. This isn't some soulless open-world collectathon; it's a focused, well-crafted adventure from an era when character action platformers weren't an endangered species. A reminder of how good these games used to be.
