The exploration is satisfying, primarily because the collectibles aren't frustrating to find and generally come with their own little challenges. The boss fights, in particular, can be surprisingly hard the title undergoes a distinct difficulty spike during these battles, which is a bit of a shame but doesn't ruin the overall experience. The combat is relatively layered, even though it is simple when compared to similar contemporary titles, and it can be quite challenging at times. The gameplay is surpassingly enjoyable despite its occasional flaws, leading to a really entertaining experience overall. With a wholesome aesthetic, some beautiful music and a surprisingly moving story, the piece crafts its own distinct atmosphere that I find really charming. For me, the throwback design is a bit of a breath of fresh air and it carries with it quite a bit of nostalgia. The latter isn't really a problem whether you like that style of game or not is entirely subjective. It does mean that the controls are slightly clunky, the environment is peppered with more-obvious-than-usual invisible walls and the gameplay feels just a bit old fashioned. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. The whole title feels like something from the PS2 era in terms of its design, actually.
In a way, the level design is similar to that of 'Jak And Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (2001)', with several distinct locations spinning off from a central hub area to create the illusion of a single seamless world.(with the help of hidden loading areas). It's incredibly impressive for an indie title, with stunning visuals reminiscent of an actual animated feature and several ambitious elements such as a fairly larger interconnected world presented with very few loading screens.
It was developed and self-published by a small team known as Ember Lab and it runs using the Unreal Engine 4.
'Kena: Bridge Of Spirits (2021)' is an action-platformer in which you play as Kena, a young spirit guide who helps restless spirits move onto the spirit realm where they can rest in peace.
