It's not open world, which is a great change for a change (I'm truly burnt out on open world games at this point). The fluid animations really show off the devs background in traditional studio animation. Deep, vibrant colors and a super cute art-style genuinely make this one to behold. The game is gorgeous and runs beautifully on the PS5. And you know what, unsurprisingly it's a good title! This update should now provide an extra reason to give it a go.Showing up in Playstation's recent batch of PS Extra games, I started Kena: Bridge of Spirits after reading so many good things about it. It's "a game engineered to be so inoffensive there's no reason not to play it, or to play it at all". We described the game as "a gorgeous yet unoriginal adventure" in our Kena: Bridge of Spirits review. In particular, we can't wait to see fans play the New Game+ mode, which will allow players who've completed the game to restart Kena's journey with all of their previously unlocked abilities, upgrades, outfits, Rot, etc, as well as redesigned and more challenging combat encounters." "It's one of the reasons why developing this DLC has been a labour of love. "Kena: Bridge of Spirits was our very first game and, as you might expect, means a great deal to everyone at the studio," said developer Ember Lab's Josh Grier. The press release also notes new accessibility features have been included, though Eurogamer has been unable to verify what they are.

These can be found in the new Spirit Guide Trials that provide extra challenges in three categories: Obstacle Courses, Wave Defenses, and Boss Reflects. New Game Plus is a major addition, allowing players to adventure again using their acquired abilities.Īnother big inclusion are equipable Charmstones that provide adjustments to stats and abilities, allowing players to customise their playstyle.įurther customisation has been added through new costumes for Kena and hats for her Rot companions.
