Kena: Bridge of Spirits is now available worldwide for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. We reviewed the game upon release and were pleasantly surprised with its engaging combat and stunning graphics.

It’s clear that Ember Lab was inspired by Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series, as Kena: Bridge of Spirits feels like a stripped-down version of any 3D entry in the franchise. By controlling the Spirit Guide, players must explore a decently sized map where all locations feel readily available but are only accessible with the right ability or item. This semi-open-world approach works very well, as it allows players to branch out when they feel like searching for collectibles and optional content without making the adventure too dispersive. Kena also controls very easily, which makes exploring the lush locations of the game quite satisfying.
