Reviews:
  • Probably the most aggravating thing about the game is simply the load times, which are pretty lengthy. They also tend to be a bit jarring as when you transition between areas the game will suddenly lock up for a little while as the assets for the next area load. Considering the game’s pacing, and that these events typically happen at the edges of areas, there’s no specific penalty you take on when these happen, they’re just a bit time consuming and suck the excitement out of the game at times. While the survival aspects of the game can, on occasion, get irritating for the most part the game has an abundance of key supplies strewn about as long as you’re willing to search for them. In particular the elements to start a fire are crucial as the fire will help you warm back up (to prevent you from eventually dying) as well as provide the means to save the game. I’ve deliberately been vague about the game’s story as some of what happens is much more interesting and mysterious the less you know about it. I appreciate the lore and the way revelations about what has happened reveal themselves to you, though at times it can also be disorienting as you try to understand what is going on. Though the ultimate finale to the game might not be as satisfying as I would have hoped KONA has a story to tell and uses a unique means to do so, making it a terrific addition to the diverse Switch indie library.
