Kena: Bridge of Spirits ESRB Rating Summary
This is an action-adventure game in which players control a spirit guide (Kena) as she removes corruption and restores various environments. From a third-person perspective, players traverse platforms, solve puzzles, interact with spirits and creatures, and battle corrupted spirits and boss creatures. Players use a magic staff, arrows, and small creatures (called Rot) to strike enemies and drain their health meters in melee-style combat. Enemies (e.g., human-like spirits, tree-like ghouls, giant wood creatures) attack players by using bladed weapons and explosive bursts of fire/energy. Combat can be frenetic, with frequent impact sounds, screen-shaking effects, and cries of pain.”
Kena: Bridge of Spirits, was released back in 2021 on the PS4, PS5 and PC, and was developed by Ember Lab. It received generally favorable reviews and is currently sitting at an impressive 81 on Metacritic. Following its release, Ember Lab has released multiple updates for bug fixes and even for new hats.
