I love when a small studio surprises everyone with something quality, especially when so many large AAA companies phone it in these days. I tend to root for the underdog
You fight the same tree enemy with variations only 12 skills to unlock that don’t affect combat at all and it becomes a pikmin basic game very simple the best part is the cutscenes and visuals other than that I believe almost every company is putting out this if not better content
@@maddix17 yh it looks really too basic
@@maddix17 , agree the game is very basic. Some people just like to hate on big companies
Sometimes simplicity isn't always a bad thing. A lot of absolute classics are very much that way.
Then in the other side of things, Fre Emblem has almost 600 PLAYABLE characters, and you need a PhD to understand the Kingdom Hearts story and timeline.
@@daestka5512 we rip on big companies cause the refuse to pay game Devs good wages and put out broken games with pay walls.
Given the budget and Dev team of Kena it's a very impressive game.
CD projekt red worked on Cyberpunk for literally a decade and it's essentially unplayable.
There are still big companies making good games, sure. But they're fewer and further between every year.
When developers focus on simplicity and fun combined with technical quality, there's no mistake. This game is a rescue of the good old art of making video games.
old art of making video games good said! :)
aaaaaaaamen to that
Preach
Hear, hear!
this comment is so refreshing. absolutely true!
I prefer 10 or 15 hours of an amazing game instead of 100 hours of bull crap in a huge empty world. I really like this game and think they’ve set a great foundation to make this a series.
I don't think it's that long
Same here these huge games, with 100's of hours of gameplay is becoming overrated and repetitive. There also isn't time to do all that irrelevant stuff anyways. These type of games are more simple and fun. Wish they would make more games like this. I would love to see Jak&Daxter and Sly Cooper back on ps4/5.
@@mr.anonymous.2749 My friend you are preaching the gospel, I’d love to see those series make a big comeback on PS4/5.

I like games that are simple. Studios have been too busy trying to overcomplicate things, which was interesting for a while but it gets in the way of fun sometimes. This game brought the roots of simple but fun back into video games for me. Well done guys
Yeah
Too bad the game is shit and not worth 40 dollars. 10 dollars at best
Ikr now it feel like real game, not overrealistic thinga. It so fun to play

The last time I felt like this while playing a game was back in the PS2 and Nintendo GameCube Era of games. It's so, sooo special!
I been looking for games like this since thanks for telling me
I have the same feeling. Just a simple but immersive game to lose some time in!

Trying to figure out which to use and in what sequence to utterly destroy the bosses in less than 3 minutes each is a blast, lol.
😐
Oh look a verified person
Playing on hard this game is genuinely rather hard and after the 1st 3rd button mashing isn’t really an option anymore from my experience so trying to pick the right option on the fly is a blast I agree.
@@AuraJewel sounds like a dev
Seems like a paid or sponsored comment tbh.
Considering this was their first game, I say it’s a big win. The world that they constructed was absolutely stunning, puzzles are fun with a little challenge, combat is simple which is a nice change of pace. Only critic I have is the movement, it feels clunky. If ember labs keeps making games I can see them creating a game that is beyond our imagination

Yeah this is what i was thinking. This game is already a hidden gem, and their graphic art style is incredible. Hoping for what you said, something beyond our imagination in the years to come.
I am so happy to see this game especially from the people who made Majora's mask - Terrible Fate short. I have been tracking it since it was posted on their yt.
ahh i didn’t know this was them!
That's wild because as soon as I heard there was a central hub with different directions, I thought of Majora's Mask!
The visual of this game is insane.
Pixar or dreamworks animation

I originally planned to pre-order the game but, with the delays and lack of media coverage i got a lil iffy and figured id wait till reviews came out, and thankfully the game is exactly what I expected it to be. An extremely pretty action adventure with a great animation studio feel and crisp story/music elements. Thanks for the quick coverage!
This game took me over 20 hours to complete. The last boss took like 3-4 hours before i gave up and completed the game on easy mode.
Last boss is easy

@@KayP90 low budget. Not good gameplay. Mediocre visuals. 40 dollar price tag for an indie game ? Seriously why would anyone want this game
This game is amazing!! I’ve sunk close to 8 hours in so far. The game mechanics are very similar to god of war with the fighting, dodging, parrying, upgrading. I’m playing on normal and have died close to 10 times. It gets surprisingly challenging. You have to learn your enemies move sets to dodge and attack like in dark souls games. The graphics are also so gorgeous! The Rots add a lot different play variety and charm to the game. Every time I boot it up I get lost in the world of Kena. I haven’t been so excited about playing a game in a very long time. This one really draws me in and makes me forget about the outside world for awhile. You guys should definitely check it out in my opinion
just finished ut and its such a great game, i had a love hate relationship with how you respawn all the way at the begining if you are doing a mutiple fights
only bad thing is it end quite soon :(( The game is not long (only around 12h) but still worth your time
I have to disagree bro i have bought this game & this is not similar to god of war mechanics in my opinion nor dark souls not even close. I was incredibly disappointed personally i feel like there are not many different enemies throughout the game, fighting feels super super repetitive & gets boring after a while. Not many upgrades at all also when i first played kena i would've thought the hats actually did something in combat for the little guy's but it's just cosmetic aswell as they should atleast be somewhat different colors instead of all black to bring even more life & beauty to the game. Throughout cutscenes the frame rate drops atleast for me which honestly isn't really an issue so no biggie but i can see how it would bother other's. I think the boss battles are not too shabby but me and my friend have played this on the hardest difficult & it just feels way a little too easy story wise feels just bland & mediocre.... i was truly expecting this to be the new Zelda mascot for Playstation & who knows it might just be! Not giving my hopes just yet because i do know that this is ember labs first ever game but i do have some pros & i just love how beautifully designed this looks pretty much identical to a Pixar film ❤ i can assure they put tons & tons of work into this the map is pretty big. I love how calming the atmosphere is just giving off a vibe of pure bliss & emerging you into landscape nature honestly a game never has done this for me besides breath of the wild but it completely takes away any anxiety i sometimes tend to deal with, it just puts me in a meditative 🧘🏻♂️ state but it sure is a fun game no doubt
Overall 5/10
Can you explore the world a bit or is it very linear?
@@tango8011 its a linear game not open world. You open new places in the game process, you can tele back to old place ofc but still linear
I love this game so far. Just finished The Medium and Ratchet & Clank: Rift apart and now playing Kena. It's great!
This seems like the Jak & Daxter of our generation.
Hella polished platformer-esque/adventure game that has you wanting more.
I miss Jak & Daxter. I hope they bring those back and to the PC. Same with Twisted Metal. Those were my childhood games
@@archenemy2242 Same Jesse. Back in the day my Dad randomly surprised me with a PS2, and Jak & Daxter was the first game I played on it.
I remember thinking it was the best graphics I'd ever seen (at the time).
Would love a new war of the monsters game. We need more 2-4 player couch coops like that!
What i would give to have Jak&Daxter back on ps5. 😔
@@DigitalKid14 ya, game really does feel like a jak and daxter game....
Also first game I played on PS2 is final fantasy 10 and when showed the cinematic. I was completely blown away by it.
I am balls and elbows deep in this game. 10 out of 10 for me. Haven't had 1 issue with bugs and such either. For their first ever game, Ember Lab made one hell of a debut in the gaming community. I can't wait to see what other games they put out. Will definitely be keeping my eye on this dev studio.
Bought it, LOVING IT, Game of the Year so far!
I love the game and I can’t wait to see what Ember Labs does next, also the Majora’s Mask Terrible Fate film is incredible, THAT is what video game films should look like and i want an extended version now! 😊
Well, FF7 Advent Children is a better example outside Nintendo games.
I picked this one up because my wife was interested. Haven't made it too far yet, but first impressions are really good. The world is gorgeous and looks so good on ps5.
I like your wife
I like your PS5
Picked it up?😂 you mean doenloaded it
I like how you never spoil not only story but like features or like upgrades. I appreciate it. Great vid.
I've been enjoying this immensely. It is so nice to have a game I've been excited for launch as a complete product with so much polish. Can't wait to see what this dev studio does next
I’m just shy of half way through the game and I think it’s something special. It has this horizon feel to it but a little less complex. I think this game is quite overlooked because it may not have the best of the best combat mechanics or options but the simplicity allows you to fully appreciate the cinematic experience. I was very impressed and especially loved all of the little puzzles. I like that they don’t baby you through the whole game. I find some games get repetitive and boring when they tell you exactly what to do and how to do it. KBS makes you think before you act.
I’m loving this game, so old school with new school tech to show it off. Great first job can’t wait to see what they do next with a bigger budget.
Got this game for Christmas. Just started playing this a few days ago. Stellar game so far. My favorite is the art, graphics, and the music, and nature sounds are just breathtaking.
I have been playing Kena for a long while and delay finishing it, as I enjoy exploring around every hidden forest path and crevice. I pretty much agree with your review, yet there's one thing I'd like to add. Yes the graphics and the music are lovely, the boss fights are surprisingly challenging, and its exploration personally fills me with joy. But above all, I value the feel that this game gives me. It is truly my "meditation" game. In between the tense fights and the cheerful discoveries, wandering in this world makes me feel calm and free at the same time. I also actually love how the game doesn't focus on the character too much, contrary to modern games that over-showcase their protagonists as the ultimate hero / most important person. Kena is humble and silent and she gets the feel across. It's also super cool that the studio involved native artists in the game's making! Now that the game is coming on Steam, I hope everyone will share some of the experiences I had with this beautiful game!
Loving the game! I’ve been anticipating it since the trailer was revealed.
The length is surprisingly okay for me. I tend to like longer games, but between cutscenes, exploring, taking photos, doing puzzles, finding collectibles and chests, and getting beat by monsters, I’m already 5 hours in and not even to the first true boss fight yet.
You
No I agree. Why to speed run games? We should take our time to enjoy all the job that’s be done. Then the game is far more than a 10 hours game. Some games can also be too long… I would say it is a 40€ long game☺️
bought it and I'm loving it 😊
After 46 seconds i'm already bought. I wanna play that right now!
Watching this trailer gave me chills the same way seeing the Jak and Daxter trailer for the first time did. I'm so excited for this!
Thanks Jake. Looks amazing and very happy with a ten hour game. Bored of 100 hr experiences which I never finish!
It's a ten hour game if you rush it.
Been playing it for the past two days and only just beat the first story boss... I think I'll be playing this for another two weeks at least!
@@luuketaylor Same here. I just started second region and played, like, 15 hours.
People are going to try to buy Ember Labs.
I don’t see them selling, but could you imagine what they could make with a Sony first party budget and still with total control?
That’s what I’m saying
This looks like the PERFECT Friday evening game for me!!
I think what really stands out about the game (that I wish was discussed more) was the music and environmental sound effects. Theophany really hit it out of the park with the tracks for each section, and I didn't mind redoing certain boss fights because the music was always phenomenal. Truly, in my mind, the best part of the experience
True, the music is lovely, very fitting for mysterious, ancient and overgrown forests. But also great combat music (Taro, or the 3 chests in the village)
Just bought this game today...stoked to play it down the line!
Literally waited for this before I made my final decision. 👍🏼 thx!
Glad you mentioned Spiritfarer because the early story in Kena reminds me a lot of that game
I’m really looking forward to playing this once I have the time. There isn’t many games out there that capture the feeling this game gives off. It reminds me of that feeling of playing jack and dexter for the first time or some other classic and unique game.
I finished playing Fenyx Rising, and was looking for something similar. This looks like fits the bill.
That was a fun ass game man, I definitely hope they make a sequel
That's exactly the vibe I got off this and loved Fenyx Rising.
play biomutant aswell :)
Then play biomutant, destroy all humans (new one), legend of Zelda botw cemu (if u have a strong enough pc)

Ayy was waiting for this 🔥🔥🔥
Its included with PS Plus this month and started playing it. I was very pleased to find it.
This looks like a blast, pretty incredible that this is Ember Labs(?) first major game. I look forward to playing it but am also super excited to see what the studio can achieve in the future. Great work as always Jake.
I haven't played a game that reminded me of a platform adventure game since the old mascot platformers form the playstation 2 era. I'm so glad I got to get that old school childhood feeling again. For me this game is a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to see what this developer brings to the table and am very hopeful that this game becomes a series.
Agreed!!! 👍🏻💯
I wasn't really expecting much of this game after checking out the trailers, just another game I could miss, but with all the positive reviews it's getting, I am considering to buy it
Did you buy it? I might buy it on Wednesday on my day off. It looks great
@@ju4n831 not yet, I have a lot of expenses these days, but I may be able to buy it next month, we'll see

I’m glad the reviews for this game are good, I’ve been interested in this one for a while now. Probably will wait to pick it up for half price during Christmas time
Yeah they're coming out with a physical version in November, so if you prefer that, waiting is perfect! They first said it was digital only, so that's what I got. It's such a good game!
I understand because I do the same with a lot of games, but this is not $60 game. It's $40 and it's worth the money.

My go to review series for a game if I’m on the edge deciding if I wanna buy it. Great as always!
This was one of the games I was most excited for when the first games for PS5 was announced. Looking forward to playing this, this weekend!
Already got the game, but was still waiting for this video
I have been waiting so long for this game to come out. It was probably my most anticipated game of 2021, and thankfully I wasn't disappointed at all. I loved it. It's so beautiful, and has a pretty good (and kind of sad and bleak) story. The mechanics are great, and the fighting is a little more challenging than I expected it to be. I wouldn't necessarily call it hard, but it's also not boringly easy I can't think of many negative things to say about it honestly. I will say that the story probably could have been a little better (and longer), but it was still pretty good. And there's no new game plus, but that could always come later. And they definitely could have come up with a few more types of skills, just to add a little more variation to the fighting. The rot creatures were adorable though, especially with the little hats. All around I'd give it an 8 out of 10. But when you consider that this is the first game this small company has ever released, it definitely bumps the score up to 9.5 out of 10. I can't wait to see if they release some dlc for this. And I'm also really excited to see what games they develop in the future. I will definitely be picking it back up at some point in the future to play it on the harder difficulty that's unlocked upon beating the game. Hopefully they might decide to come out with some dlc for it as well by then. All in all, I definitely recommend it.

@@RealJewels Go to bed.
I know this video is a year old, but I recently just started playing the game and I am loving it! It was actually one of two games - the other being Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart - that sold me on preordering the PS5. I'm not sure how far I am into the game time wise, but it feels like I just embarked on what will likely be the last set of quests. There really isn't much I don't like about the game. Like you said, it looks and sounds beautiful, the story and characters are endearing and well told, it plays pretty well, and the upgrade system is laser-focused on stuff with actual utility.
It's a bit strange to hear you say that Normal is easy. The difficulty of some of the bosses and enemies caught me off-guard and I'm playing it on the lowly "story" difficulty. I still haven't come to grips with the parry timing so I don't even try it anymore, I just stick to dodge rolling or double jumping. Maybe that's why it's giving me some trouble here and there. I don't know if you play the Souls-like games... maybe that's why this seems easy to you? I don't bother with 'em.
I would absolutely love a sequel, but if Ember Labs is making one, they're being very tight-lipped. The only thing they've said is they're more likely to do more with Kena in other mediums like movies and such, not necessarily games. A shame, because Bridge of Spirits is phenomenal for a first outing by a fledgeling games studio.
Hey Jake. Going trough a tough break-up right now and I'd like to say that the videos have been really helping me being distracted from the whole thing so thank you
I'm watching this while studying 🥲♥️. I'll play it soon!
Game of the year so far. Love it! Need more games like this
This one has been a joy to play. Simple, to the point video game. Makes me feel like a kid again.
Sometimes you want a deep long difficult game, and sometimes you want something to chill and have fun... I was looking forward to this game and I'm glad the reviews seem positive. Definitely getting it soon.
I explain this game as a cross between Spyro and Pikmin with the art style of Pixar.
It’s a very pretty game. My only complaint is that it’s more of a kids game. I got bored of it really fast.
The game surprised me a lot. Visuals are identical to what's displayed on trailers. I love Kena's back jump.
Caught this on sale on Steam. Then my sister sent me this review after I recommended the game to her. (Nicely done, btw!)
I’m about 4 hours into it. But I’ve been exploring “every crevice.” And I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it!
My only major complaint so far is the default keyboard mapping. I highly recommend using a controller instead of your keyboard if you play on PC.
Some of the actions are really awkwardly placed on the keyboard. At least for me. I didn’t even know there was a sprint button or an in-game (fully kitted out) camera feature until I switched the the controller and started playing with buttons to see what was where.
I agree that jumping distances does feel a little weak, but I haven’t really had any trouble. I thought I might, in the first area that has a lot of cliffs and climbing/jumping, but it ended up being pretty easy. No accidental deaths. Lol.
Overall, loving this game so far. Definitely recommend.
this game just like its devs said "interactive pixar film" of beauty!
yes i got the game, no haven't played it yet, yes i a excited to start it! and i don't care about any "negative" reviews.
this type of games is my childhood! platformers, collectathons, action adventures, also female MCs are always welcome!
i can easily say it, Kena bridge of spirit has the potential to become a classic! a timeless game!
this game has what majority of new games LACK .. this game IS FUN! it gives you entertainment!
Never commented before but just wanted to let you know that you are amazing at what you do. The way you review games is professional and tells me all I need to know but in a very friendly and conversational way and because of that, I ALWAYS watch your video before I buy a new game. Keep doing what you do Jake, it does make a difference!
Just a little tip for the exploration; you can aim the bow in midair and it will send you forward a little (like warframe sort of) which helps make all jumps much easier and honestly feels better than double jumping most of the time. Most of the gaps feel too small for one jump, but too big to need two jumps. Aiming the bow and using the forward momentum it gives makes jumps much smoother
One of my favorite games of this year. Brings back AOL in spectacular fashion. "You've got Spirit Mail!"
I’m just past Taro and I love love love this game. I don’t really have many gripes. Maybe the invisible walls in places where you should be able to jump but that’s so minor it doesn’t really make me like it any less. It’s up there with Racket and Clank as best of the year so far
I just finished his storyline last night. Man I was surprised at how emotional it got! I originally downloaded this to play with my daughter's but now I'm super invested in it on my own haha
I already bought it and played it, it's amazing
Just finished this yesterday and its a great game. Simple move set but the game can still get plenty hard at times. The game was longer than I expected since all the reviews say its short, but either I play slow or I spent more time exploring.
Didn’t really run into any issues with the game except double jumping was a bit awkward, as the 2nd jump seems to almost entirely lose forward momentum. But once you kinda figure timing for longer jumps then its alright. I found most of the time you want to run off the ledge then jump. Had only one instance where I needed to save and start the game again, I had fallen into some area I wasn’t supposed to be able to go and got stuck. Overall worth the buy for me.
This game reminds me a lot of the best Zelda / Metroidvania copies - stuff like Arkham Asylum or Darkstalkers, but injected with so much charm. I love the whole Pikmin mechanic, and Kena herself is just so damn nice and wholesome. Watching over the summer, there were two games that really stood out - this was one and it really didn't disappoint. Looking forward to Kena 2.
It reminds me of a classic PS1 action/platformer
Probably game of the year for me. Looking at the complete package it just has this charm that made me genuinely smile while playing.
Me too, smiling all the way through
Have you even played? That’s a huge statement
@@grahamkelly8662 I have played yes
I think you haven't played opus the echo of starsong, it's one of the best at game of this year in terms of story and music. If this game can be a game of the year potential then opus echo of starsong will be the game of the year.
Not gtoy. Garbage game
Love this game. Took a gamble when I bought it a week ago but wow it has surprised me. Coming from a guy that’s obsessed with GoW 2018
This game gives me the same feel that aid got when booting up Jak and Daxter up for the 1st time back in the day and I love it
the gameplay can look better than the cutscenes at times
Freaking amazing game! The combat is super fun and the special bosses, super thrilling and awesome to fight! Also, the world environment is very beautiful, like damn, I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time. Highly recommended, kudos to emberslab and looking forward to more of their future projects!😁
I like the simple objectives and the way they ease you into the world playable areas are blocked off until you get a certain gear, artifact or powerup just like old Zelda games
It's a nice and simple game really
Thanks I'll probably get this. My most recent purchase was Lost in Random and I adored the game, something fun, short and engaging. Just my style.
I fell in love when the game was shown for the first time because of the graphics, music and atmosphere.
Playing it now, I really enjoy it! It's beautiful and fun to play and, I never say such things but I cannot resist in this instance, Rots are sweet/kawaii.
I'd appreciate it if there was more way to interact with Rots and there were any consequences if you did not! Maybe there are but I am not far enough in the game but I doubt that.
The only problem I have is movement:
1. jumping between ledges is a bit off; just from looking at the position of the character, I don't know whether I already can or can't jump/leap from them.
2. I play on keyboard + mouse so moving Rots with a mouse is HORRIBLE. I need to check how the game behaves with Steam Controller.
Who’s here after it got added to ps plus extra
Omg this game gives me such nostalgia of all the old games back then. Some of the world building and atmosphere kinda reminds me of Pitfall - The Lost Expedition.
Looks incredible. This blows me away for a smaller studio's first outing.
I may pick it up, hearing the lack of voice acting doesn't bother me since link in Zelda games never talks!
Game looks great, interesting story, fun exploration and amazing music.
When it comes to the combat though it does a lot of things that personally I really dislike such as: enemies re-targets/rotate mid animations making dodge timings unnatural. You are locked in to animations and can't cancel attacks with dodge or parry. Combat lock goes on enemies heads, meaning when you are in melee with tall enemies the camera ends up on the floor, sometimes even beneath the floor. There is no grace period for damage in dodge OR even when you take damage, making a few of the enemies attacks basically one shots if you get hit at the start as you get locked in without being able to dodge or parry. This is just to name a few and not mentioning a couple of bugs I've encountered but those I assume will get fixed.
Its funny how no one here mentions combat, when its rather clunky and unnecessarily hard. Everyone is afraid of the "get gud" mob.
Being locked in animations is something I'm used to from MH but the rest sounds rather annoying
@@Surokis matching animations to multi-clicks...I just can't stand. Looking at you Batman Arkham games.
Playing this game with my fiancee - stunning game with plenty of charm, variation and awe-inspiring moments! And the soundtrack... it's gorgeous!
Always appreciate your information, Jake
Man, this and Deathloop wants me to have now a PS5!!

It reminds me of games from the SNES era that aren’t long but you can replay easily because you enjoy the overall game. For me I’m barely in it right now, pulled it from ps+ but after playing it I’m definitely buying a copy to support the developer. I want more games like this, not everything has to be 100+ hours. It’s been said, when a developer actually spends time on a 10-15 hour game, it shows and I can see that with this.
Such a great game, almost done with it but loved every second. Art design is AAA and the world is so beautiful. Totally agree with your video. Btw. thanks for all the great content!
I can't wait to play this. Looks so good. Wish it was on Steam...
What's it on?
It’s 17 right now on sale should I buy it?
Finally an easy 3d exploration game that's just fun. gonna check out more reviews and strongly consider this one. Thank you!
I just started this game a month ago. I’m loving it. 10/10 for me.
Does anyone remember the game Kya on PS2? Getting those kinds of vibes from this game which is super nostalgic
THIS COMMENT!!!! I fucking loved that game so much so when this got announced I couldn’t help but think about Kya: Dark Lineage. Honestly felt like I was the only one that remembered that game.
@@adhdandrea glad to hear someone else remembers that game. It has a special place in my heart and reminds me of the good times of my childhood. I still have my PS2 and just bought Kya dark lineage on eBay.
