\"\"<\/a>Kiki may be vibrant, but it\u2019s still a pretty bare bones 3D platformer.\u00a0 View the action in first person perspective as you jump over pits, avoid obstacles like sawblades, and collect stars and trophies as you make your way to the exit.\u00a0 Kiki is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Play control is simple.\u00a0 Just move around with the left control stick and the camera with the right control stick.\u00a0 Jump with the X button.\u00a0 Sometimes you must pick up a key by aiming your viewing reticule at it and then pressing the R2 button to pick it up, and then drop it on a keyhole tile to open a gate.\u00a0 They don\u2019t tell how you to do this in the game at all, but luckily it\u2019s pretty easy to figure out.<\/p>\n

My main problem with this game is the viewpoint.\u00a0 Since it\u2019s first person, it\u2019s hard to tell if you get hit from the side of something as you pass it.\u00a0 And the jumping controls don\u2019t feel as responsive as they should be.\u00a0 There are no checkpoints which can be frustrating to have to go back all the way if you die on a complicated level.\u00a0 At least the music is decent, but I can think of tons more 3D platformers I\u2019d rather play than this.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kiki: A Vibrant 3D Platformer is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You can fall into pits or get hit by sawblades, but the game just zips you back to the start when that happens and you don\u2019t see anything so I don\u2019t consider that violent.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed, but younger gamers may find it too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
