This year has seen a lot of discussion about Xbox console exclusives like Hi-Fi Rush, As Dusk Falls, and Sea of Thieves potentially becoming available on the PlayStation 5. However, the tables have turned with Ember Labs releasing Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S next week.
Known for being one of the best-looking PS5 exclusives, Kena: Bridge of Spirits shines just as brightly on Xbox Series X. If you missed out on playing it on PS5, this Xbox port provides the perfect opportunity to delve into its captivating adventure.
In Kena: Bridge of Spirits, players follow the protagonist, Kena, a spirit guide, as she navigates a land plagued by corruption with the help of cute yet powerful creatures known as the Rot. The game’s personal storytelling unfolds as Kena interacts with various spirits she encounters, making for a unique and engaging experience.
Gameplay in Kena: Bridge of Spirits blends action, platforming, and Pikmin-like mechanics, allowing players to control the Rot to overcome challenges. While not groundbreaking, the game’s mechanics serve the narrative and audiovisual experience effectively.
What truly sets Kena: Bridge of Spirits apart is its stunning presentation. Rather than aiming for realism, Ember Lab opts for a highly detailed, stylized art direction reminiscent of top-tier animated films. The visuals on Xbox Series X deliver a remarkable visual experience across different graphics modes.
The industry-leading visuals of Kena: Bridge of Spirits have made it a standout title on the PS5. The Xbox port maintains this visual quality, offering players on a wider range of platforms the chance to experience this exceptional game.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits launches on Xbox Series X/S on August 15 and is currently available on PC and PS5.
