It's a fun little game. The story is somewhat silly and you will very soon question yourself how dumb someone can be. Also you may expect a plot twist or two in certain scenarios but that's okay. After all it is a game also meant to be played by kids so I guess it is fine though. Gameplay wise it's actually pretty creative in some levels. Even though I expected the coins to be one-time collectables like in other Kao games. But that is fine with me. Also it was sometimes a bit too easy to get out of bounds in this game and you find yourself stuck behind a hitbox or the lack of such. Or you managed to get somewhere you'll not be able to get back from except respawning if possible. I had some occasion where I had to reload the game to het back on track. Which kinda is annoying in a game which expects you to explore the levels for secrets. Played the game on Deck and it ran very well. I suppose it deserves the Steam Deck verified badge.

An incredibly charming 3D platformer that pays a nice homage to the previous three Kao games and uses elements and other touches from them all. It's silly, it's inventive, the game worlds are varied and gorgeous, and there's stuff to collect under every single nook and cranny everywhere you can see in all the worlds. Which is to say it follows all the beats of the best 3D platformers like Ratchet & Clank, Spyro, Jak & Daxter, and so on. The fact that it's made by the same company including many of the same people who made the original Kao trilogy back in the early 2000s is a nice little bit of video game history trivia. On the downside, the game is quite easy. There's a challenging section here and there, but you will never, ever come close to losing all your lives. Heck, it's pretty rare to lose any lives at all, and I was stacked up at 24(!) of them when I finished the game. But consider it more of a platform-puzzle adventure where you frequently swing the camera around to hunt for hidden areas and objects and to navigate your way through the game worlds. The in-world enemies are trivial and the end-world bosses are tricky until you figure out the solution to beating them. The game seemed to have a fair amount of problems when it first released, hence the negative reviews from back then, but they all seem to have been patched out now. One major tip though! Lock this game's FPS to 60 or else the hook swing maneuver sometimes doesn't work correctly. The FPS lock will also stop the camera from stuttering when you swing it around, and you need to swing it around constantly. All in all a fun, lighthearted, classic-styled 3D platformer that was mostly a joy to play. 8.5/10

~BENEFITS~ Kao the Kangaroo is a 3D platformer with fun and fast-paced combat with just the right amount of collectibles! Artwork for the characters and environments are wonderful! The combat and platforming feels very fluid and the controls are very responsive! ~DOWNSIDES~ Buggy Collision that forced me to restart the level from scratch multiple times, luckily your collectibles save. The constant pickup sound for Ducats can get very annoying after awhile. Very small complaint but Jokes feel a bit forces at times, and often made me cringe rather than laugh. DLCs ~CONCLUSION~ Quite possibly the funnest 3D platformer I've played from the 2020s! If you love 3D platforming this game is for you!

if you able to see through all the nitpick, this game is fine as it is. missing sound effect everywhere, object despawn wrongly sometime, the hook swing giving a wrong direction launch when release. the game length are on the shorter side for this game of this type but it's a good amount. The dialog being cheesy at first then getting better later. the combat is fine, there is a few tools they're provided. boss mechanics are fine, although the final boss is easier than the first ever boss of the game. the level design is pretty great! you can play them a few time and not got bored. progression tracker are slightly lacking, for someone who want to 110% complete the game may upset about this. overall, a good enough light-weight platformer game the relax and chill on.
