What an impressive debut game!
There's nothing extraordinary or super innovative about it, most of its structures and mechanics are quite familiar - but it doesn't really matter when it's just so well made and fun to play.
I played on a higher difficulty and found the game to be quite tense and actually quite hard at points - even if the last section of the game is a jarring difficulty spike. Some of the boss fights offer a surprising amount of spectacle for what it is ultimately a game by a fairly small studio.
Clearly these devs knew what they were doing and just delivered a cute and engaging experience in Kena: Bridge of Spirits that doesn't feel 100% realized (story and character-performance-wise) but one that has a strong sense of style and offers some straightforward action-adventure fun.
