Kena: Bridge of Spirits

Kena: Bridge of Spirits should take most gamers around 10 to 12 hours to complete, depending on the amount of exploring and the level of difficulty. While the blockbusters games of 2021 continue to deliver the same ho-hum experience of 2021, Kena is a much needed ray of sunshine to the current choices of titles available and more importantly, looks fantastic on the PlayStation 5.

For its first attempt, Ember Lab makes quite simply a master stroke. By delivering an ideally successful action-adventure game on all fronts, the studio, however neophyte, is not content to "just" perfectly fulfill the specifications of an excellent production. Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a delicious breath of fresh air, which marvelously combines the grace of a sumptuous animated film and the game design intelligence of an ingenious video game, with multiple inspirations. As for Ember Lab, faced with so much mastery of their subject for a first production, it is advisable to take our hat off to them and already wait firmly for their next creation.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is stunning spectacle full of heart and unbelievable charm. If you aren't carefully selecting hats for your Rot companions by the end, then you're probably made of stone. In the event that your soul is inhospitably frosty, Kena can be deceivingly challenging, throwing boss fights at you that will make those on Demon Souls look like a cake walk. A few minor issues stop Kena from being a showstopper, but there is no doubt that this a great game, and an amazing debut for a 15-person strong team.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is the game that was missing to end 2021 in the best way possible. This title pictures a reality not far from ours, where the corruption is imminent and the salvation of the land demands a path that challenge us and makes us grow into a better version of ourselves. As a Spirit Guide, Kena took the compromise of freeing every soul that needed her. She felt fear, failed to have decisions but with the help of her Rot friends she was able to accomplish her mission, in which is the perfect balance between duty and passion.

Ember Lab's very first project is a beautiful adventure set in an even more beautiful universe, and while it's borrowing a lot of its core components from different games of the genre, it still feels fresh and stands on its own. The future surely seems bright both for the franchise and its developer.

Telling a number of touching tales of loss and love, Kena is a visually stunning action-platformer that feels like a classic PS2 game in mostly the right ways.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a completely inoffensive, if somewhat bland adventure that will mildly entertain for the duration of its runtime, but won’t live long in the memory.

I was surprised when I played this, it came on PS+ a few months ago and decided to play it. This was not in my backlog of games, but it was amazing. The puzzles complimented what you've learned in the game, and they weren't so complex you have to waste hours on it. The combat was refreshing, its similar to a soulslike but the game isn't a soulslike. The story is complex, meaningful, and calm, its a nice change of pace compared to most games. The ending boss was challenging but not so challenging you have to restart the fight more than 5x's. Amazing game overall, definitely in my top 25 for sure.

This was a lot of fun. I found myself enjoying the atmosphere and the characters. I didn't find it super replayable. I didn't want to go back to it. I spent my time in the world and was just kind of done. A solid game no doubt, it just felt lacking.

This is one of the most beautiful games I've played! The scenic landscapes captivate your mind. Running around in this beautiful world is a treat! Loved playing in this scenic world. The majority of game is quite easy (I played at the lowest difficulty). And was fun! There's a variety of gameplay involving jumping around, collecting things, exploring new areas, uncovering the locked areas by "cleansing them", the small enemies and big ones. So why not 10/10? Because the last 30% of the game, the difficulty is too overdone. As with every other game in the market they lose their crap near the end. The jumps get super annoying (even for the story mode difficulty), you need to keep shooting arrows in the air while in the middle of jumps, the bosses get more and more ridiculously overpowered and smaller enemies get a lot more annoying because of those pesky archers and running / exploding bombs. The last 30% of the game isn't that fun. First 70% is 10/10 and the last 30% is like 3/10. Come on! I think it's time companies give us a "true story" mode that allows us to sail through even in the last 30% of any game. You don't have to make it ridiculous for it to be enjoyable. That's a myth! Overall, I loved the game but it's a one time play only because the difficulty near the end was totally offputting. But the scenic landscapes were such a breeze to be in! And I played at the lowest graphics settings since my comp couldn't support any better.

Bastante decepcionado. Esperaba un juego estilo pikmin con estilo visual a lo película de pixar. Lo que me encontre fué un juego con unos graficos resultones, con puzzles básicamente inexistentes y centrado en un combate estilo souls-like que no acaba de cuajar. En dichos combates nunca supe que era mejor, si fijar la cámara o dejarla libre, porque da igual que hiciera la cámara se movía como le daba la gana La historía bastante simple, protagonista que aparece para salvar el mundo porque si y un malo que es malo porque no le quedaba otra. Los gráficos estan bien, es un juego muy colorido y las cinemáticas destilan ese aire a Pixar Pero al final del dia, en un juego lo que importa es el gameplay, y en un juego que se centra en el combate mas aún

If i wanted to play an art project, i would have downloaded dreams. This felt like a pixar tax write-off.
