Spirit Mail & Deliveries

Yahtzee reviews Kena: Bridge of Spirits, a short, visually appealing action-adventure game with standard combat and exploration, but lacking in innovation and memorable story elements.

This review covers Yahtzee's take on Kena: Bridge of Spirits. He notes the game's short length, standard combat mechanics (light attack, heavy attack, dodge, block, parry), and exploration elements involving restoring color to corrupted areas. The protagonist, Kena, is described as a spirit guide helping restless spirits move on. Yahtzee critiques the game for its lack of innovative gameplay, Kena's detached role in the narrative, and the character design, which he finds overly influenced by Disney/Pixar and ill-suited to the game's tone. He also mentions the collectible hats for the Rot as a somewhat unrewarding incentive for exploration. Despite these criticisms, he acknowledges that the game doesn't significantly falter in its execution and offers a refreshingly straightforward open-world experience with minimal extraneous content.
