Kena: Bridge of Spirits: The Kotaku Review

Ember Lab's first game isn't perfect, but it's an impressive start.

A new indie team didn’t make a perfect game ? No way . Actually when I think about it I’ve never played a perfect game

bouzebbal1327d ago

16bit era had perfect games that had it all..
In my eyes Streets of Rage 1 is a perfect game. Music gameplay fun replayability it had it all for me

Kurt Russell1326d ago

I preferred Streets of Rage 2 myself. But I was only 9 when that came out... and everything I did when I was 9 was awesome.

Flewid6381326d ago

I was 9 when I first booted that game up. I couldn't believe what my ears were hearing. Its literally the reason why electronic/EDM/techno beats are my preferred genres.

CrimsonWing691327d ago

Yea I felt like that was unnecessary for them to say. It’s almost like you just can’t give it to them.

I know its weird right? How could this new game developer not make a perfect game from the very start, shame on them. I swear game journalism is such a joke these days.

bacano1327d ago

Of course, no game is *literally* perfect, but when I think of Undertale, I can't imagine a way to make it better

Flewid6381326d ago

I have, and tbh, more often times than not it's from indie devs and not AAA studios.

I haven't played it, but it is hands down the most gorgeous $40 game I've ever seen. I feel like a lot of people don't know this is $40. Seems like a very promising studio, can't wait to see where they go from here.

Hellblade is one of the stiffest games I've ever played and the camera is uncomfortably close and restrictive, and it has the blurriest performance mode in any of the games I've played

“Better than hellblade?“

Hellblade has an amazing art style while Kena has amazing graphics. Can’t really compare the two.

Jin_Sakai1325d ago

Sorry I read that as “Hades” for some reason. Ignore my other reply.

This game was made by a 15 person team and its their first game ever....think about that!

Asking kotaku to think, are you crazy, lol.

Game is really good. Not too short, not too long. Exploration and powers never overwhelm you. It's the perfect length. My only nitpick is that the boss fight mechanics are horrendous. They change direction mid air so that they always hit you or dodge your attacks. The dodge window is very very small and you need to die more than a few times to learn their attack patterns. The games suddenly turns into Dark Souls when it's mostly a beautiful chill exploration game.

dbcoops1327d ago

Agreed, a couple of the boss fights become very difficult. I was like what the hell is this a rougelike and no one told me, lol. I think the Platinum is off the table for this one as it requires a hardest difficulty setting run and that's not happening for me.

Flewid6381326d ago

That parry may help over the dodge. Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye out as I get deeper in the game.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits Xbox Series X review - Console Obsession

Console Obsession says: "With Kena: Bridge of Spirits having been previously released on PS5 and PS4, it would have been easy to look up information to know what sort of game I was letting myself in for. But I decided to go in cold and experience the game without knowing much about it. "
