    I'm blown away by how well Kena: Bridge of Spirits - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition holds up, especially considering it released almost 5 years ago and I had just as much fun playing through it now than I did back then. Slight visual downgrade aside, this is a near-perfect port.

    Certainly a stunner visually, and refreshingly unique in its overall style of play, the only concern is whether the game clearly chose the audience it wanted to appeal to.

    Kena: Bridge Of Spirits is a great addition to the Switch 2 roster. A visually stunning platforming adventure with great storytelling and an adorable companion mechanic. Combat and enemy design leave a lot to be desired, but this doesn't do much to dent the experience of Kena’s journey.

    The Switch 2 gains yet another great title for its library with Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Ember Labs hit remains one of the most likeable 3D action-adventure games of the last few years, and its approachable gameplay and stunning visual design feel utterly at home on a Nintendo console.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a natural fit for the Nintendo Switch 2 in both presentation and gameplay. It could (and should) have done a bit more to introduce newcomers to the elements of this world, but it offers a charming, occasionally dark adventure that will fully engage players once they settle in.

    Great graphic style and fairy tale charm in a game with a too simple structure and repetitive terrain.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a fun game that mixes platforming and mechanics reminiscent of the Soulslike genre, in terms of combat and attacks. However, the gameplay loop relies too heavily on repetition and ends up being tedious, as does the Switch 2 port, which leaves much to be desired in several aspects.
