As you can see, the vast majority of reviewers liked the game. It is praised for its beautiful visuals and satisfying, although simple, combat system. Kena: Bridge of Spirits is supposed to be quite an old-school game. It is based on solutions used in the genre in the times of Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, adding some additional fresh ideas. Players who were hoping that the game will follow the path set by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be disappointed.
Most reviewers didn't seem to mind the use of legacy features, especially considering that Ember Lab is a small studio that thankfully didn't try to bite more than it can chew. This approach bothered only a few editors, who gave it the lowest ratings. However, they are in the vast minority, so it should be the same among players.
