Rating 9/10

From franchise that's known for games that are decent, but nothing special, comes a reboot that's decent but nothing special.

I could pretty much end it right here. It's an okay platformer clearly influenced by Spyro and Crash - you have an overworld (there are four) from which you access levels and collect coins, diamonds and shards, which are necessary to access other levels. You can also find heart pieces, for which you can get an additional heart if you collect four of them. It uses lives system, which, normally, wouldn't be ideal, but by the end i had so many hearts and lives that i barely noticed it. It's very simple, but that's not necessarily bad and for the most part the game is fun.

However, the story aspect is where i had some problems. Kao is in search for his sister with help of his master and magical gloves - It's nothing to write home about, but that's not the issue - it's the dialogue and voice acting. I'll start with the latter - It's very clear that they didn't have too much money to spend, as is evidenced by the polish theater kid they chose to voice Kao. Not only him, every character has a noticable polish/slavic accent and quality wise it's a mixed bag - some of them are okay, but others (including Kao VA) sound like devs picked them up from the nearest Zabka (or whatever other supermarket they have in Poland).

The dialogue can be quite cringeworthy at times with plenty of pop culture references masquerading as jokes - I mean, this is a kids game, right? I don't think many kids nowadays have seen 80's classic They Live or listen to Simon and Garfunkel.

That's really my only major gripe with this reboot. I don't think it's the best thing ever, but it's enjoyable. I only wish it was written better and that they hired voice actor, who, at least, sounds like he understands the language.
