The mountain forests, the rolling fields, the corrupted caves and lairs all are beautiful to behold, with rich foliage and clammy rock surrounding you. I’m floored by the visuals on display, especially considering this is a tiny fifteen person team at Ember Lab producing AAA quality. On that note, you’re going to be making your way through an absolutely gorgeous world in order to accomplish your goal. It’s up to her, with the help of little creatures known as Rot, to clean everything up and usher several tormented spirits to their next destination. Kena has sensed that something is off at the Mountain Shrine, and upon reaching the base of it finds a Village and the surrounding area corrupted by a poison that is killing the land. You play as Kena (pronounced kay-NUH for all of you like me who kept saying KEE-nuh), a young spirit guide who has the job of assisting spirits, who are stuck in limbo between this world and the next, to move forward. It’s hard to decide just where to start with this one, so let’s go right to the beginning. Not only has Kena: Bridge of Spirits managed to meet them, but it has somehow found a way to surpass my hopes of what was possible in this studio’s debut. Yeah, there was a bunch of hubbub right before about review embargos and codes not getting sent out, but my concern has been in one area: whether the game I had been waiting over a year for could possibly live up to my lofty expectations. Well, finally release day eve came up, and in my inbox lay a code for this wonderful title I was waiting for. Even though I’m probably a bit biased on the game, I wanted to review it so badly, and arguably talked the PR team’s ears off over at Ember Lab (sorry about that :D). Personally, I’ve been ridiculously excited for the game since it showed up at the June 2020 PS5 Showcase, with it’s charm and beauty captivating me. I’ve honestly had a really tough time coming up with how I want to open this one. ![]()
