Rachael Fiddis - "With its Pixar-like characters and beyond stunning animation, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is as charming as it is dark with plenty of surprises that will not only keep players enthralled for hours but also captivate their hearts. Ember Labs might not be, as yet, a studio many people would recognise in association with video games."
There's been plenty of news about Xbox games moving over to PlayStation recently, but how about one coming the other way? Well, 2021's Kena: Bridge of Spirits has just been ESRB rated for an upcoming Xbox Series X|S release
Kena is owned,developed & published by Ember Labs studios & it was a "limited" PS console exclusive. PS having it as a console exclusive for 3 years is enough time to pass it on to another console platform.
what's that one Sony did before Kena that was like Ninetndo's pikimin, I forget, I missed that and it looked fun, might try to grab on sale, it would be my second ONLY ever digital purchase, (as I don't think it was ever physical as its a small game)
Amongst all the new PlayStation 5 releases, it's easy to miss some gems. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven most underrated games on PS5.
Returnal: such a great game that got some weird misinformation in the press. Like, if you don't know why lie?
Returnal: Yes.
Destruction AllStars: Hell no.
List lost all credibility right there.
Massive flop.
Returnal is still my favourite PS5 game. A really interesting concept and a fun as hell roguelike.
Gamesindustry writes: "Ember Lab has been around since 2009, starting out as a company specialising in commercial animation and digital content. But a decade later it would make its mark in video games with the release of Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
So how did its co-founders, COO Josh Grier and chief creative Michael Grier, go from wanting to become filmmakers to making a game that would catch the attention of Sony just as it was preparing to unveil PlayStation 5?
Speaking to the two softly spoken brothers at Develop, the difference between media matters less than being able to tell a story with original content."
Loved the game!
Wish there was a sequel or something new coming from them!
Been really quiet for a long time now!
Damn, another game and another good review scores. Sony know how to pick them time exclusives if it is one IDK still Sony has good eyes.
Maybe I'm old school or maybe the game quality has come far but in my humble opinion too many games get 10 out of 10 nowadays. I don't mean that in any negative way it's just that he used to mean something when a game got 10 out of 10
I still remember when mgs4 got 10 out of 10 from major publications and how much hype it created but now you have sites giving 10 out of 10 scores on regularly. But maybe because the quality has risen up so that's why but I still think 10/10 should be reserved for few occasions when a game triple knocks it out of the park
Sony should acquire this developer quick!
