Of course, you will not only find yourself in dark environments, as shown in these screenshots. The utilization of light plays a significant role in this title, and the game’s early minutes reflect that. As such, it pairs well with the cartoony animations and the game’s occasional cute moments. It is essentially an interactive animated Pixar movie. It is all about the proportions, reduced texture surface details, and a “lighthearted” color palette (for lack of a better term). As much as I adore comic book art, the visual style employed works better here. Characters or objects are devoid of any black outlines. Other than the Borderlands franchise, it achieves that without the cell-shading look. Kena Bridge of Spirit’s art direction is highly stylized and could be described as “comic-like”. Combat is absolutely not kid-friendly and can make your hair turn gray a lot faster (if there is still any left). However, do not let the visuals fool you. This gives the game a distinct look that stands out from the rest of the Unreal crowd.

Not only do things look nice, but Ember Lab also utilizes a unique visual style reminiscent of animated movies like Shrek, Toy Story, and others. This is usually an indicator of a flashy visual presentation, and Kena does not disappoint. The technical underpinnings of Kena Bridge of Spirits are based on Epic’s Unreal Engine 4. Let me tell you about it.Īs always, I begin by discussing the game’s technology. I still had trouble with some of the bosses, but for the most part, I fought my way through the game on the normal difficulty. Despite that, I went into the game with an open mind, and I am glad I did. I must often resort to the Easy difficulty to complete challenging sections or bosses, and in the majority of times, the Easy mode is so accessible that it is borderline boring. It has more to do with my inability to master the combat for an enjoyable experience.

Still, it apparently did well enough for Ember Lab to warrant a free anniversary upgrade at the end of September 2022.Ĭlose combat games aren’t usually my jam.

I haven’t heard much of this game after its release.
#KENA GAME PC PC#
Kena Bridge of Spirits is a PlayStation and PC exclusive, and it is the first title I played after building a gaming PC after just one year of abstinence. It is a different game, though (horrible segue *cough*), and one that I think stands out among all the others I have played in the past decade. Whatever it was, I am rarely on time with game releases, so why would Kena Bridge of Spirits be any different?

It was a tough year for me personally, so maybe that was one of the reasons. I was immediately hooked, but I did not jump in right away when it launched in 2021. According to this announcement trailer, it must have been sometime in 2020.
