Kena: Bridge of Spirits

Kena bridge of spirits. This is game that that is most notably a CGI masterpiece. I feel like that what attracts most people to this game. No surprise, the graphis and world design are the strongest aspects of this game. It's a beautiful game to look at and it's fun to explore to appreciate these details.

At a glance, the combat seems pretty simple. The upgrage system in't all that and you only have one and a half weapons. But the simplicity goes away as you progress through the game, encounter different and harder enemies, and are encouraged to make use of the upgrades you have and are also forced to learn the combat, get used to your abilities, and actually strategize to get through tough bosses. Though I still wouldn't play this game exclusively for the combat.

Gameplay is nicely balanced between combat, exploration and puzzles. The puzzles have such a nintendo vibe, making use of you skills and platforming to solve them.

Kena is a game that is like a feel good cgi ghibli experience that's not ni no kuni. Combat and puzzles are nothing. Rots are what it's all about. I will go through the the dangerous quest of those Challege chests just to find them new hats. These little pikmin guys can be useful in combat and puzzles, but I honestly just want them to look cute, which they are.
