Every blade of grass, every tree branch and forest stream is exquisitely represented as a living breathing world with some great use of lighting to set the mood.Д®ntering the Forgotten Forest for the first time around thirty minutes in, Kena braves a storm whilst tracking a wisp-like memory. ItвЂ™s absolutely beautiful and really shows off the power on offer with the PS5 or a comparable high end PC. The VillageД®ye-catching would be the understatement of the year when it comes to the visuals on offer in Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Small, black, furry creatures not dissimilar to Pikmin who assist Kena with all manner of tasks. Stumbling into your first quest fairly quickly itвЂ™s also early on that you make your first (of many) magical friends - the Rot. Uncovering a string of interconnected events around a corrupted village from which the spirit hails, Kena sets about helping those trapped whilst uncovering the secrets around her powers and the people the spirits left behind. Those who choose not to move on into the afterlife however don wooden masks to represent their new form and exist to finish tasks or unfinished business with the adverse effect of corrupting the land. Little information is given on how Kena ends up in her current predicament but itвЂ™s clear sheвЂ™s been tracking a fairly powerful spirit on her path to a mountain shrine.

ItвЂ™s also a standout production by Ember Lab who you may recognise from their acclaimed MajoraвЂ™s Mask fan animation - Terrible Fate Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a third person action adventure with a healthy mix of puzzle solving, RPG elements and challenging combat in a beautiful world inspired by eastern mythology and architecture. As the two collide it becomes clear itвЂ™s not as simple as it first seems in Ember Labs action adventure - Kena: Bridge of Spirits. A powerful spirit lingers and corrupts the world and a young spirit guide tries to follow in her fathers footsteps to help those who remain to move on.
