I’m definitely hooked, the amount of challenges the game offers, its interesting world, an admirable protagonist, wisely implemented environmental puzzles, and the adorable little companions called Rot, Kena is one of the games that made it to my 2021 Game of the Year list. I kept playing Kena: Bridge of Spirits since its launch and I haven’t touched any other game since. There’s only so much when there’s just a handful of team members in a studio, but with their experience in short animation films, Ember Labs didn’t disappoint.
But I was reluctant after knowing that Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a debut game from a studio that consists of 15 core developers with a few outsourced developers helping out. The trailers looked gorgeous, and the gameplay shown got me excited. Ever since Ember Labs revealed Kena: Bridge of Spirits last year, I’ve been eager to get my hands on the game that very much looks like a Pixar or DreamWorks animation film.
