Instead of wanting to explore every nook and cranny to find everything, I find myself doing a quick once over and moving on. While the forest is beautiful and can create some stunning sights, it prevents the game from having too much variety in how it looks and makes exploring the area much less exciting. Unfortunately, not all of that translates too well into a game. I think if you were to take a couple of cutscenes from the game and present them to someone who doesn’t know it’s a game, they would instantly believe it’s the next big animated movie. Visually, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is like you’re playing through a Pixar movie.
While it’s still nice to visually make things better, the village ends up feeling just as empty as it was before you began saving it. The most you get are silhouettes of spirits that disappear as you get too close. You don’t get to experience the joy of saving people’s homes or watching them move in as you make it habitable once more. Even though this village and the areas around it begin to look a lot better, it’s still abandoned. While I typically find this satisfying in most games, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is missing one important element. This corruption will spawn corrupted forest creatures against you until you clear it out, allowing the natural beauty to restore itself. One thing I’m a sucker for in games is being able to take an area that’s destroyed or messed up in some way and restore it back to beauty and that’s what you get with the main village of the game, acting as the hub area. Every good thing about Kena: Bridge of Spirits also having its flaws are a common theme with this game.Īs you’re arriving at the main village of the game, you realize that this whole area is dealing with corruption that’s taking everything over. Kena doesn’t speak very often and when she does it comes across as very bland, making it difficult for me to feel any connection with the character so far.
You can find hidden Rot throughout the game that adds to your numbers as they follow you around and, in my opinion, completely steal the show and make up for Kena’s lack of character. They will help you in environmental puzzles by moving around heavy objects for you or they’ll help you in combat by forming a giant hammer or stunning enemies. Rot are adorable small black creatures with big eyes that help Kena during her journey, very similar to how Pikmin behave. While the name may make it seem like these would be the evil antagonists, they are actually the complete opposite.
You play as Kena, a spirit guide who helps people who have died move on to the spirit world, who’s on her way to an abandoned forest village when she comes across Rot. The main conflict arose from Itokura not wanting to work with others, and as her time as the Professor ends, she learns the value of being part of a community.Kena: Bridge of Spirits wastes no time with its intro as you’re thrown right into things. At the same time, those things are only possible because Itokura makes the choice to start reintegrating early into the story. Lost Judgment's message here is fundamentally one of community and forgiveness. However, as a result of Yagami's work, all of the people who'd once been Itokura's enemies come together and help save her from Koga. RELATED: Lost Judgment Is a Worthy Sequel to the Original Game Itokura ends up trapped because of her desire for revenge. However, Koga threatens Itokura's sickly mother. Of course, when Itokura starts to realize what's happening isn't good, she tries to back out. As a result of her desire to pursue revenge, Koga - the Neo Keihin Gang's leader - ropes Itokura into his schemes and convinces her that the only way to live as her authentic, individual self is by helping him.
