Critic Reviews
WayTooManyGames
By Leonardo FariaIt may have taken nearly three years for the port to be released, but it’s basically the same game as the PS5 version, if you’re a Series X owner. For Series S owners, there may be one or two setbacks, such as the framerate cap, but the game is still beautiful and very much enjoyable. The final verdict is simple: Kena has issues, but it’s still one of the most fascinating indies released over the past few years. I fully encourage you to give it a go, if you still haven’t at this point.
Rectify Gaming
By Rectify GamingWhether it’s on PlayStation or the newly released Xbox version, Kena remains a captivating experience that is a beautifully crafted adventure that blends a heartfelt narrative with stunning visuals and engaging gameplay. This is a game that excels in storytelling and visual artistry, making it a must-play for anyone who appreciates a meaningful adventure.

By Matt MarstonI went into this game with no expectations. I felt continually impressed with what independent developers Ember Lab cooked up for players with Kena: Bridge of Spirits. What few misses there are, Ember Lab makes up for it with a bright and colorful creation, wrapped around some dark narrative moments.

ByKena: Bridge of Spirits is very high quality and incredibly beautiful for the indie scene. It combines a simple story and uncomplicated puzzles with well-developed combat mechanics, while offering time-tested solutions at the same time.
Xbox Achievements
By Dan WebbKena: Bridge of Spirits is an absolutely stunning game on the eyes and ears, but is perhaps a little too much style over substance. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with the mechanics, they can at times feel fairly shallow and archaic, but thankfully things don’t really get too repetitive or boring, and what you get in the overall experience more than makes up for that.
