Polygon writes: "You’ve played this game before. I’m in the midst of another forest meadow. It would be picturesque if not for all the gnarled purple roots strangling the life out of the place, and the fleshy bulbs pulsating a toxic red. As Kena, a spirit guide who travels the land seeking to reunite the dead, usher spirits to the afterlife, and generally put things right, my top priorities are the forested valley and its health. For the most part, this means eliminating all those red nodules that blight the land."
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!
IGN 8/10, Dualshockers 10/10 and it's 40 bucks, seems low risk.
Why do I feel like every time Polygon kinda review something it came off as some butthurt rant?
They lost it with me ever since their TLOU review.
They're about as bad as Kotaku.
Well if we're going to complain and give low scores based on the "you've played this game before" scenario then polygon better be ready to hand out a low score for Halo Infinite as well. This is a piss poor excuse to low ball a great game but I get it click revenue is probably low at polygon.
