About
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a 2.5D metroidvania developed by Surgent Studios under the EA Originals label that released in 2024. The game follows Zau, a young shaman navigating the mythological lands of Kenzera while using athletic abilities like double jumping, wall jumping, and air dashing to explore interconnected environments. The title stands out for its compelling narrative centered on bargaining with Kalunga, the God of Death, to revive Zau's father.
The game is quite accessible from a performance standpoint, requiring only entry-level GPU hardware with a benchmark score around 6284 and 8 GB of RAM. Most modern graphics cards will handle Tales of Kenzera: Zau smoothly at high FPS across standard gaming resolutions, making it suitable for budget-conscious PC gamers. You won't need a high-end GPU to achieve stable 60 FPS performance, and the game scales well across various graphics settings.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is worth playing if you enjoy metroidvania exploration and engaging narratives, though its 68/100 rating suggests a solid but not exceptional experience. The combination of accessible performance requirements and meaningful gameplay makes it a reasonable choice for most PC gaming libraries.
Performance profile
April 2024 release. As a current-generation title, Tales of Kenzera: Zau pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Tales of Kenzera: Zau. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
Storyline
