60 of 174 · most liked firstVery good remaster of a fun game I played on PS2 almost 10 years ago. Pros: - Great platforming - Fluid and challenging combat - A lot of variety in activities and challenges - New textures look great - Comic book cutscenes are cool - Very nice soundtrack Cons: - Voice acting needs improvment - Script outside of comic cutscenes is quite poor at times - Camera can be annoying at times (especially in constrained areas) 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God I didn't know how bad the voice acting for this game was when I was a kid. But seriously, looking past the graphics menu and bad voice acting, this game is still enjoyable years down the line. It offers fun gameplay both platforming and combat wise, funny dialogue and an allround laid back, nice experience. P.S: Problems with tabbing out is fixable by running Borderless Gaming in the background
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I among many other people who bought this played this as a kid but by no means is this game only fun because of nostalgic value. These sort of kid like platforming games is what pc honestly needs. + Great graphical update from the original + Combat is great among most hack & slash games, its pretty solid on all levels + Platforming is fun and brings you back to when platformers weren't only 2d indie hardcore platformers + The sound is a huge bump up in quality, although I did experience a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →in case you don't know, this is a remaster of a PS2 game of the same name of course. the remaster is great in terms of graphics and steam integration (cards, achievements..etc) but lacks graphics options (it will run at the same resolution as your desktop's) and only in fullscreen. there is a quick fix for the fullscreen thing to run in borderless if you want that involves creating an .ini file. the audio seems out of sync a little with the characters lips but i don't recall if it was that way…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pros: -it's legend of kay so there's the nostalgia factor -it doesn't crash at startup (it's sad that lately that's become a pro to me) Cons- -no graphic options -audio option changes doesn't affect scriped scenes so they are louder than anything else -fully remastered but lips move completely independent of audio -previous audio invaded scripted scenes (training scripted scenes and listening to master go "hah" over and over annoying af) I want to like it, I really do but damn if it was just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A blast from the past! Legend of Kay Anniversary is a HD remake of an old PS2 3D Action-Adventure Platformer. First of all, yeah there are no graphics options but for me the game runs great. No hiccups, works perfectly in my native resolution. I really dig the asian setting, the HD remake looks great, the controls are fluid for an old game and it's time that we get some 3D platforming action back.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. I like 3D platformers, the likes of Spyro, Mario, and in a different way Sonic. But this game lost me quick. The combat is dismal, some of the time I have no idea what the character model is doing. The platforming is not great either. the jump and double jump don't feel good, and is hard to control. Multiple times I got stuck on ledges and ropes, due to not being able to climb up or drop down. The worst thing about this game though, is the voice acting. As…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Legend of Kay seems like a good idea, and it gets a lot of good reviews, but that's often the problem with remasters - people get all nostalgic and look past the flaws. In six hours of gameplay the toughest fight I had was with the camera. It frequently locks into a position where I can't look in the direction of upcoming obstacles or platforms, which results in missing many jumps and getting knocked down by many things. The story is pretty dull. A martial arts trainee is spoken of in some…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUHCbWO8PjM Legend of Kay is a mixed bag for me. I think it is honestly worth a look if you are a fan of the action platforming genre, but it does little more than bring a somewhat unpolished entry into the steam library. "Unpolished?" Yes, there are fetch quests in abundance with multiple legs of "find x item" that distract from the main quest. The combat is engaging and elegant, but beware: complex combos that lock you into a string of animations that you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally, my favorite PS2 game gets a remake it much deserves.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im writing this as a warning since it has an very positive overall review atm. I did not play this game when it came out back in the days, so if you dont want to play this out of nostalgia then think twice if this game really is for you. The good + The game starts and runs as it should + Cats The bad - Voice acting (trust me its horrible) - The main caracter and the story (there is nothing interesting about it) - The camera (uhoh its very annoying, you dont see what you wanna see..) -…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR 2/10 A game that was possibly of acceptable quality for it's time, but has aged very poorly. Bad controls, terrible voice acting, and an obnoxious camera make this game not worth playing unless you have enough nostalgia to help overlook these shortcomings Pros: + classic platforming structure + interesting setting Cons: - very very bad voice acting - poor control layout - bad camera (both the controls and the natural direction it aims) Legen of Kay is considered a sleeper classic…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Time for some nostalgia.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To sum up this game, I'd say "nothing special." It's a standard action platformer from the PS1/PS2 era. You'll explore and fight enemies. Unlike most action platformers, this one focuses more on fighting. Which is strange because there are not that many enemy types. You fight rats, rats with bombs, gorillas with axes, gorillas with maces, (teenage mutant) ninja turtles, crocodiles, and various animals and plants. But then you have the most difficult enemy, the camera. This is most easily one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On the plus side this is almost EXACTLY like the original PS2 classic. Let the nostalgia flow through you. On the down side this is almost EXACTLY like the original, including the crappy voice acting and clunky camera controls. That being said it's still a great game that deserves some attention, just don't expect anything mind blowing... and maybe wait for it to go on sale.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah yes... That one childhood game that you used to play when you were like less than 10 years old and had so much memory playing it but, in reality, had never even went past the first chapter of the game because you suck at these type of games back then lmao. But for real tho, it isn't exactly that "bad" of a game considering its age and the platform it's originally made for... It has a lot of interesting gameplay with lots of puzzles, platforming, racing(?) and combat. And speaking of combat,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LoK story in short - "rats and gorillas want to close my fighting school so I'm going to brutally murder them all and get some ♥♥♥♥♥" I don't know many less likeable characters than Kay, sometimes I really wanted to strangle him, he's boring, spits a lot of trashy lines, he's cringy and cliche overall. The villains were actually much better. Combat is a mess with bad controls that can't be customized in any way, most enemies are armored and that makes claws useless, launching a magic attack is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunatelly I have to strongly criticize this game. By buying this game, I was expecting nice 3D platformer adventure with classic style. Well I get this... but with tons of annoying stuff. Combat in this game is awesome! But terrible at the same time. I like the idea of the simple moves and combos. You can freely press Y (I will be reffer to XBox controller buttons) to go to the next enemy. You can dodge and strike from behind and also perform special moves and heavy attacks. But on other…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to give this game a thumbs up. I really did. The problem is the game is suffering from some of the worst optimization I have ever seen. I also suspect a memory leak. Now to set the record straight I am not running this game on a potato, unless you think a liquid cooled 4.4Ghz i7-4790k (cooled by Corsair H115i 280mm Radiator dual fan liquid cooler), 32Gb Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400 2.4Ghz DDR3 RAM and an overclocked Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX1080 Waterforce, powered by a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Remake of the PS2 version from 2005. While this remake will appeal mostly to the people who have played it before, if you're a fan of 3D Adventure Platformers then I recommend you give it a try It's been done really nicely, it controls well and is identical to the original. My only complaints are the camera, cutscenes and the voice acting; all are a bit janky at times. Unfortunately there are no graphical options but it does run at the same resolution as your monitor, in full screen and very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought I would love such a game from the PS2 era, a good old action platformer... just my thing. However, I'm really struggling to have fun with it. Camera control is abysmal, that's the major offender - not to mention when you're not allowed to look around in 1st person... there's literally zero reasons for which that should be a thing in any game in my opinion. Either you always can, or never. Jumping around isn't that pleasant either. Just land a little bit on the edge and sure as hell it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game, great combat mechanics, engaging history, nice soundtrack. There's some glitches here and there but not a problem for me at all, made me remember my childhood with ps2 as well :D. highly recommend it. It's a game that will never be forgotten by me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very nice port for a very nice game from ages ago! A good amount of effort was put into this port, wich is more than a lot of more modern day console game ports can say. All controller prompts have been replaced with the corresponding mouse and keyboard buttons, and it is great to finally be able to play this again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having a lot of fun with this one. The soundtrack is lovely, the gameplay is smooth and despite the nostalgic feel of this classic collect 'em, bash 'em platformer it doesn't feel dated at all. Legend of Kay provides relatively simple gameplay without being lackluster, the storyline is pleasant and engaging and though the cutscenes are a little lengthy at times there's hardly any cause for complaint if you're after a fun, easy-going action-adventure game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a great combat-based platformer with branching paths and a bit of exploration. Yes, the voice acting is bad, but it doesn't interrupt the fun parts of the game. This game takes a new spin on combat through its use of the three weapons and offering the player enough choices to conquer each fight. The only upsetting aspect of this game was its difficult camera controls. Some times you will have to back away from the action in order to move the camera into the correct position or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My ★★★★ review of Legend of Kay Anniversary on @infinitebacklog.net infinitebacklog.net/users/ejspon...
unlabelledView post →I really don't understand the mixed reviews. Yeah, the game features atrocious voice acting and is not innovative, but it is still a fun and lengthy action adventure (took me 15 hours to beat on easy), the remastered graphics look great in my opinion and it's well optimized with no hiccups (at least on my pc). The only thing I disliked was the fact that the game doesn't give you much information on how to obtain unlockables. Played the game till the end and collected almost everything I saw in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't understand, what the hate is about. This was such a nostalgic trip for me personally. Game "looks" old, but they don't make games like this anymore. Something about this past PlayStation 2 games era is so perfectly imperfect. Sure, there are some issues, like for me from time to time game stopped for like 6 seconds, which caused me heartattack multiple times, but no crash. "Driving" a boat is very, very bad. I agree on that. That was such a pain in the ass. Even those races were meh...…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for a bit. The voice acting is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Kay is voiced by a squeaker on his best xbox mic. There was no effort to fix anything from the original, just added new models and slapped on some anti-aliasing. The camera is ass. The controls are ass. The voice acting is ASS. The subtitles are useless cutting off sentences and ending them in the middle. HOW HARD IS IT TO GET SUBTITLES RIGHT??? There is NO excuse for all of these problems. Sly Cooper came out in 2002 with NONE of these issues!…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game when it came out for the PS2 and I liked it a lot. When I saw the remastered version I was psyched. Mac-Support and Full Controller Support. Sounded awesome.... BUT Unfortunately the "Full Controller Support" doesn´t count for Mac, because it simply don´t work. The producers even say is themself that there is no controller support for Mac (http://steamcommunity.com/app/313810/discussions/0/520518688936957136/) which is unfortunate... When they advertise FULL Controller…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty boring honestly I expected much better giving the generation this game is from. I was an hour in the game and was still basically a tutorial the game is only 8 hours long so yea... I refunded it really didn't seem like it was going to get better
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this game ten years ago after buying it to cheer myself up after a particularly bad day, was so happy to see it on Steam. If you can get past some of the bad voice acting in certain places (and there is a fair few places where it's a bit cringey) this is a really solid game and a lot of fun. The graphic style, music, gameplay and story are just fantastic.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this one originally on a console and it wasn't much different of a port on the PC. It's not the best action adventure game out there, but it's definitely not a terrible one either. I think the characters are pretty cute and I liked the comic style cutscenes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Legend of Kay Anniversary is a terrible game for the following reasons: 1. The story is bland and uninspiring and it's just another cliche about a loudmouth brat destined to save his world. 2. The voice acting, mouth movement and the script is atrocious. 3. Sometimes the cutscenes are presented in animated comic panels however the drawings in the panels sometimes look weird. Also sometimes there are even mistakes. For example in the cutscene you see when you make it at the misty islands we…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is at the same time awsome and pathetic..., I'm playing on normal difficulty and know what I'm doing for the most part, but this game is old and suffers a lot of old time issues with its hit boxes, platforming, enemy reach, small arenas, forced do overs, forced race events, and countless odd glitches, but what takes the cake is the final battle, which is made impossible for all the reasons above, the key to victory also stands to mean effort for naught, huge AoE, knockback, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm the type of person who likes to get into a game, kinda get behind it's combat system and get into it to people who say the combat in this game is grindy, i could understand thinking that, however there's lots of options to negate enemies blocking, and i think what i love most is how by the end of the game you can really tell your way better than when you started you just start kicking everyone's ass, and for me, that makes this game i will agree with what many people have said, camera can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This under the rader PS2 game didn't deserve a remaster. It's bad in every element of design, and most important of course being gameplay. Camera is bad, controls are bad, combat is bad, voice acting is bad, story is bad - I really do mean it's bad all over. Only the graphics are fine and the music - sometimes. Most this will offer you is frustration. I believe only people who have played this as kids back in the PS2 era can enjoy it today, and even then, I expect them to change their minds…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a remaster/console port of an old Playstation 2 game. Gameplay is a mix of simplistic 3PV combat and 3D platforming. The game is aimed at children as you control furries and fight other furries. Unfortunately while most of the porting work was done well, some of the fighting and combo moves don't work properly using KB+M, you'll need to use a gamepad to play this game properly. While most of the game is playable with a controller, the camera angles suffer from consolitis which is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The tutorial is way too long I am bored out of my mind.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was expecting to play a classic and enjoyable action-platformer when I first launched this game. Well, it wasn't very enjoyable. The plot is simple but exposition keeps getting shoved down your throat for way too long, unskippable dialogues and cutscenes that drag on for too damn long. The camera is pretty terrible, it gets stuck in corners, doesn't focus on ennemies during combat, at least it wasn't too troublesome during platforming sequences. The voice acting is a ridiculous load of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm in the frog swamp trying to steer the canoe... Unbelievably frustrating. This game tries to make you do something it simply does not have the controls to do. I am respectfully backing out of this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As of the time of my purchase, the cut scenes have a lot of trouble. The visuals and audio do not match up if you leave the game on screen, with fragmented audio following the comic book style. You only get fluent audio in the cutscenes if you minimize the game to your task tray, forcing the game to catch back up after you open the game again. Not to mention that at the end of the cut scene, your game will crash, which forces you back to your last save point to have to try to get through it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favourite childhood classics remastered ♥️ Got this and Simpsons Hit & Run along with my first own PS2 and its always stuck with me since. The nostalgia definitely has an impact on how I view this game but honestly 10/10 for a cartoony platformer from the 2000s ✌🏼♥️
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey everyone, so for this week, I'll be playing The Legend Of Kay Anniversary and probably beat it before Thanksgiving. Friday and Saturday are up in the air, but if I do decide to stream on either of those days, it'll more than likely be a new game. Have a good Thanksgiving everyone!
unlabelledView post →For a PS2 era game this is actually aight. The camera getting stuck on random collisions sometimes is definitely a miss and especially on these round arena platforms the camera just really prefers to look at the edge rather than the middle for some reason which is not ideal in big fights. But the platforming and the fighting system actually work pretty well together, the story and art style and even voice acting are pretty great. Even items are managed really well, fights are challenging…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If like many others in the reviews section you played this when you were younger, I can reccommend this port. It's solid, and got all the fun combat and secrets you remember. The tutorial is a drag, but the mechanics do hold up and it's been a tonne of fun so far. If you haven't heard of this before, watch some gameplay on YT first or something. Pros: - Huge nostalgia trip - Combat holds up - Fun secrets that aren't too hard to find, but just enough so to be engaging Cons: - Dialouge is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to say, this, in my opinion is great game with so much potencial, yet I do not see second part, which is shame but maybe I can understand why tho. It is old story and with such a community as this I guess it wouldnt be that popular these days. But for me, it is my childhood.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was looking for something like Crash or Spyro. This is definetly not it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Anniversary edition has not fixed any of the underlining problems with this game and for as far as I can tell, has made no siginificant changes from the original. It's still as broken and buggy as the version I have for the PS2. It is not a game you want to play unless you want to be like me and make a video on youtube about how terrible it can be. I still can't believe this game was targeted towards children and some of the enimies in the game call you a ♥♥♥♥♥. Even if you're playing as a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game for nostalgia and still love this game on my PS2. But i cant recommend it, at least not for PC I can't. Ive seen a number of playthroughs for consoles and after experiencing the ridiculous controls for PC im ready to throw in the towel. Experiencing both sets of controls I can honestly say buy it for a console, its a worthwhile game. Buy it for PC with these controls at your own discretion.... not to mention the buggy frame rate between scenes, which make watching the story…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As I've seen some other Negative reviews say, I really wanted to like this game. I love platformers and I think the game looks great, but whenever there's a conversation happening I find myself tuning out. The game needs more gameplay and less chatting. A dialogue skip button would be nice.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Riding sequence can be annoying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this game recently due to it being one of the childhood games of a friend of mine. I wanted to stream it for him, and about halfway though the game it turned into something of a scoring challenge run for me, just to make the game more interesting. Kay is something of an oddball that I would describe as a "you're 10 years old, poor, and you barely have any games on the PS2" masterpiece. This is the kind of thing where, if you're a dumb child with no skills or standards but tons of free…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tonight at 8PM CST, I'll be starting The Legend Of Kay Anniversary. It's a remaster of a action platformer game that came out on the PS2. After several years since the remaster has launched, I think it's time to check it out. www.twitch.tv/bearsona11
unlabelledView post →Couldn't force myself to complete the game. On the swamps the platforming becomes absolutely awful. You are either overjump the object constantly, or slide from it. This game is very irritatingly unpolished and I cannot recommend it to anyone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely love this game BUT, and big BUT, the mechanics of saves and level progression is AWFUL! I wanted to 100% each area and find all of the collectables, but when I was in Chapter 8 playing on nightmare, I accidentally went through the turtle head to Chapter 9 and missed important items and demon portals. There is no manual save functions or chapter selection, and no way to return so it killed my playthrough and I can not be asked to start the ENTIRE GAME again. Such a shame because I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is painfully mediocre at best, but Jesus Christ on a bicycle this game just drags on forever because good god I wasn't even enjoying it at all, and I have to turn on the Skip Cutscenes option in the options menu because I just want to finish the game already! Just don't even bother buying the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is Legend of Kay ? Its a remaster of an old game of the PS2 era, I probably got it during a sale considering its a pretty cheap game and I have enjoyed a lot of older adventure/platformer games in the past, it looked like a promising pick so I gave it a go, as soon as I started I noticed a few things, the remaster does a pretty good job making the game run better and stable on a modern hardware, it looks nice and the game shows a lot of personality in its cutscenes and the way it sets the…
