I remember the first time I climbed up a ledge and Kena spun her staff around, I was thoroughly pleased with how satisfying it was. I was a little shocked with how aggressive her voice acting was but it was fitting. Her animations and voice acting made her an adorable character.

I personally loved the character designs. Once you understand one of them, subsequent puzzles are easier. Sometimes things will need to be done in order but there will be a subtle hint that might be hard to pick out. Other puzzles were more challenging but often the environment will give hints. No joke, there was a puzzle that somehow I just knew how to beat but I don’t know how or why I knew it. I did notice that I did better when I calmed down and let the spirits of the forest guide me. Sometimes I was frustrated because there wasn’t a clear sense of which direction to go. The layout of the environment is beautiful but it gets complicated towards the end.

You meet some sage guy early on and he reminds me of Samos Hagai, the old man from Jak and Daxter 1 who had logs strapped to his head and feet. The art style reminded me of Jak and Daxter from the PS2 era in the best possible way, as if there’s another way. Like a dog lover interacting with a puppy. The Rots look so cute! I love how the voice actress sounds when she’s interacting with them.

Art style The cuteness of this game is almost unbearable.

The Rots Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a great game but it has some flaws. The cuteness of this game is almost unbearable.
