Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a story about a young spirit guide who must help a village who's inhabitants have long since passed away. Why help a village if there are no people? Simple. The villagers spirits are trapped in the “corruption” that is covering the land and it's up to you, the spirit guide, to set them free. However, there is a malevolent force that is blocking your way and you must find a way to defeat him, and good luck with that.
Pros:
Very good graphics
Good story
Puzzles range from easy to look it up online
Non-linear, for the most part
Much to find
Open world
Well optimized
Cons:
Controls are hard to master
Difficultly is set a bit high
Timed puzzles.
I originally gave this game a negative review because I thought the difficultly was set to high. After thinking on it, I believe I was to hard on the game. I mentioned in the comments to a reader that I don't do well under pressure and this game has a lot of pressure moments that you must act quickly or you'll die. I don't care for that. But to be fair. The story is good, the graphics are beautiful, and the voice acting is excellent.
So, with that, I'm going to change my review from negative to positive. I have to honest, there are times in the game that I did enjoy playing it. It's just when I posted my original review, I was still fuming about how I couldn't complete it without dying many MANY times. However, the comments left here made me see that I was being unfair to the game.
At the time of this review, Kena was selling for 39.99. If you really like a challenge with a good story.
