Firebugs mean you did it wrong. There’s a visual clue on the correct order. I think you need to hit them in a certain period of time too.

After three hours played, I dropped Kena. And the interesting thing here, imo, it’s how hard was for me to decide to drop it.
It’s a beautiful game, and the gameplay is decently polished in both platforming and combat, so there was no obvious reason to drop it. No part of the gameplay was inherently bad, so it was to consider dropping it.

And still, I did it. It’s just so… dull. Bland. Derivative. From start to finish. Maybe it’s the definitive proof that an absence of jank doesn’t make a good game.

That is how I am feeling. Nothing is really wrong with the game. It kinda just feels basic. Like navigating the environments is basic. Combat is basic. What it does it does fine, but I don’t know if that is enough to keep playing these days. It does look nice.
