    Those who gave zero to the game or did not play the game or have problems with the game publisher, otherwise what is the reason to give zero to one of the best games of this year !?

    I want to give a piece of advice to the game heaters. See, your friends say that this game is for children and nothing is challenging. It may even get harder sometimes than dark souls

    ((Amazing graphics is one thing, but Bridge of Spirits is so much more thanks to engaging level design and surprisingly deep combat. It's a game that overdelivers on almost all fronts, making for a truly superb and memorable adventure)) “gamer no”...best critic for best game

It's not the deepest, most complex combat we've seen, and some abilities feel more polished than others, but it's definitely fun. The puzzles are not too complex, but also not overly simple. The story is alright, with stellar presentation though.

    Overall a very enjoyable journey, but minor hickups and imperfections keep it from being a perfect game for me.    … Expand

    What a fantastic experience. If you're on the fence about this game, just get it. It stands on it's own with some of the $70 PS5 exclusives in my opinion. For $40 there's no reason to pass this one up. The production value is very high. Some of the lighting effects are among the best I've seen in any game. Loving it so far. About 5 hours in.

    It really is THAT indie game. It is so obvious to see how emberlab started out as a film studio.
    The sheer quality of the pre-rendered cutscenes, the ingame animations, and visual effects speaks for itself.

    This is one of those games where you can really feel the passion behind it.
    From what I've heard, the team over at emberlab was only about 10 to 20 people strong when they developed this game.
    That is ridiculous for a game of such quality.
    I mean it is very obvious that each and every person that worked on this game was incredibly skilled in their craft

    Kena isn't just good looking, it also delivers a simple but effective story that warmed my heart throughout the game.
    While the concept of the story and its characters is fairly simple, the writing is really nice.
    Combine the cute writing with stellar cinematography in the cinematics and you're up for some really beautiful story beats.

    What can I say about the soundtrack other than.. it's perfect? It fits the adventurous vibe of the game so incredibly well.
    They really poured in a lot of work into the music. I mean we're still talking about an indie production here.
    It's not like the game has just a few good soundtracks no, each map section has its own little soundtrack. Variety is guaranteed.

    The gameplay is very smooth for the most part.
    The camera controls and the dead zone of the sticks felt a bit off when I first started the game,
    but it's not so severe that it impacts the overall gaming experience.
    The combat controls are for the most part very responsive and all the action animations and visual effects look and feel absolutely great. I still get surprised at how good everything looks.
    The combat also gets better the more you progress in the game due to the skill tree.

    The game's side activities aren't the most outstanding, they are fairly limited,
    but I still found great enjoyment in roaming around the map and collecting things.
    The world of Kena is brimming with beauty, it really reminds you of older games like Zelda at times.
    The combination of the well-designed lustrous world, and the soundtrack really makes the adventure outside of the main story enjoyable.

    I played on the highest difficulty that was available in the first playthrough. I really enjoyed the balance of the difficulty.
    It wasn't too hard where I'd have to fight a boss for hours on end, but it also wasn't too easy.
    I feel like it was nicely balanced for a game like Kena.
    There is a even higher difficulty setting which I assume is for new game+. From what I have heard, that newgame+ mode steps it difficulty up by a lot.

    Kena is a cute character, I really like the voice actress.
    I'm happy that they chose a more "deeper" sounding actress instead of a generic higher pitched child voice.

    The Rots are the most adorable thing I have ever seen in a game, the way they carry around things for Kena or the way the swim behind you in the water.
    Everything about them is just so wholesome.

    The game's length is totally fine for me.
    If you fully explore everything and play around with the photo mode a bit you'll spend more than 10 hours with the game.
    I've heard that, if you want to get the platinum trophy for the game it takes roughly 20 to 25 hours.
    I'm glad that this isn't a bloated empty open world game.

    I'm very happy for emberlab and I congratulate them on their first game.    … Expand

The combat reminds me a mix of God of War with Horizon, it has parry, defense, melee, range, magic with the rots. Well, it's an indie game better then a lot of AAA we see around.

    Un jeu vraiment sympa mais un peu trop linéaire et classique.
    Un jeu indé très beau, on sent que le studio viens de l'animation.
    Pour le gameplay je suis un peu déçu, c'est assez redondant et manque d'inspiration. C'est du déjà vu.

    L'histoire est sympa, mais sans plus, un peu trop enfantin pour moi et vraiment maladroit par moment, Comme certaines scènes qui ne sont pas du tout cohérentes avec e qui c'est passé plus tôt. Des dialogues un peu long et sans intérêt etc... Je pense que le fait qu'ils viennent de l'animation ils ont essayé de faire comme dans un film d'animation mais pour un jeu ça ne marche toujours car on est actif contrairement à un film.
    Le jeu est un peu trop linéaire, on suit l'histoire et pas grand de plus. Peu de chose à coté à faire, peu de possibilité d'exploration et de liberté.
    J'ai eu un bug super chiant dés le début après le tutoriel lors de la première quête quand j'ai récupéré le masque de Taro. Dés que je le mettais je rester en mode vision FPS. Très chiant et même en prenant une ancienne sauvegarde le problème continuer. J'ai dû recommencer une nouvelle partie et tout recommencer.
    La musique est sympa et correspond très bien à l'univers du jeu.

    For their very first game, Ember Lab did a really good job. The artistic direction is beautiful, technically it follows, and the atmosphere is grandiose. I was transported from start to finish. It is very refreshing.

    Es un juego realmente fantástico, sus escenarios te hacen detenerte en cada rincón y postal que te encuentras, la historia te mantiene pendiente, y el mapa hace que quieras adentrarte en cada estrecho que te llama la atención, es un buen juego, y algo que no me esperaba de un estudio independiente, es un titulo bien logrado, con buena historia y entretenidas mecánicas.

    Игра буквально позволила вспомнить радость и магию первого столкновения с видеоиграми в детстве. По-настоящему волшебная графика, простой и понятный геймплей, незатейливый добрый сюжет. Оказалось, что больше ничего не надо и что всего этого не было так давно.

    For a small indie team making their first ever full game I wasn’t expecting too much but this has to be one of the best experiences.

Think of Journey; it builds to this amazing, awe-inspiring ending, whereas for Kena herself (those that have played will know why I refer to Kena herself), it didn't feel like it wrapped-up her story. With the backstory she told, and her reason for seeking the mountain peak, I was hoping that storyline would have had a definitive bow tied around it.

    Has some of the newer Tomb Raider series mechanics as far as traversal platforming.

    Has double jump -Combat is basically Pixar’s version of blood borne control scheme wise -Combat itself presents a challenge but not dark souls challenge -Has a bow and arrow you unlock later and if you jump and shoot , you get a slow down like horizon zero Dawn - combat is very smooth and you can interrupt enemie hits except the bosses unless you hit a weak point on the boss - puzzles are very easy IF you pay attention to EVERYTHING around you

    Kena is a playful and beautiful adventure, but it does not bring any breathtaking innovation. But it has the potential to take you to a fairy tale and let you experience the story of a young girl, which is a balanced experience.

    Ember Lab didn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead the developers opted for tried and true mechanics that entertained us time and again in many action adventure games, and mixed them in an almost perfect way. The beginning might be a little slow, but when Kena: Bridge of Spirits gains momentum, it becomes truly great. It’s hard for me to point out any significant flaws apart from overall lack of originality. What a debut! [12/2021, p.74]

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits should take most gamers around 10 to 12 hours to complete, depending on the amount of exploring and the level of difficulty. While the blockbusters games of 2021 continue to deliver the same ho-hum experience of 2021, Kena is a much needed ray of sunshine to the current choices of titles available and more importantly, looks fantastic on the PlayStation 5.
