Aka is a small adventure game. It was developed by an independent French studio Namra Games.
Aka takes us to the picturesque archipelago. During the game, we play as a red panda, who, after the end of the bloody war, comes here to regain inner peace. Wanting to forget about the traumatic experiences, she has to do her best not to let the demons of the past remind her of themselves.
In Aka we observe the action from a camera hanging above the character. Production gives us an open world, which consists of various biomes. We can find here both picturesque beaches and forests or snowy mountains. Wandering through them, we encounter a variety of animals and other creatures, which we can help in solving their problems (for example, by feeding small dragons) or interact with them in other ways (for example, by taking a nap on the back of a large capybara). In addition to exploration, our red panda can deal with cultivating the land and preparing tasty meals and potions, as well as obtaining resources needed to produce various items and construct various structures and small buildings.
The colorful, cartoonish graphics of Aka match well with the calm pace of gameplay and the idyllic atmosphere that (at least at first glance) prevails in the game world.

Aka clearly has its heart in the right place, but it doesn't have anything that goes a little deeper or that asks anything of its players, and without that it just feels like a cut-rate version of Animal Crossing.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Michelle See-Tho
In Aka, you get to be a cute hero in a pretty landscape, taking naps and strolling through trees. So dreamy! It's just a shame the game has launched with this many bugs. The frequent stalling of progression and basic tasks is a little wearisome and players need a little more paw-holding to grasp the objectives. At this stage we'd recommend waiting for a few more patches, then playing the game in all its fluffy glory. That way, you get to soak up a red panda's life of luxury. Who wouldn't want that?
Try Hard Guides: 6 / 10 by Erik Hodges
Aka is a game with a great idea at its core. The promise of a peaceful, directionless experience can be something that greatly attracts a certain type of player, who will definitely find the game worth the time. However, Aka sort of fumbles in the execution. This is a game I recommend picking up after a few updates and quality of life changes, because the potential, much like the game, is limitless.
