In for a chalice too, I quite like the sound of it. Stunning looking game from a small team that stays in its lane, resists the open world route doesn't take a lifetime to finish.
IGN 8/10
With its elegantly simple combat and beautiful world, Kena: Bridge of Spirits harkens back to the days of the N64/GameCube-era Zeldas, Okami, and Star Fox Adventures, while also adding modern sensibilities and a distinct personal touch.

Kena is smooth as a pebble - a game engineered to be so unoffensive there's no reason not to play it, or to play it at all.
Gamesradar 4/5
An agreeable adventure that's transformed into something special by its enchanting aesthetic

Kena: Bridge of Spirits promises magic, but can’t deliver much of it
Destructiod 8/10
I wouldn’t call Kena: Bridge of Spirits overly ambitious. More like “strategically ambitious.” Ember Lab avoided biting off more than it could chew with its first game, and I dug it.
Rock Paper Shotgun
Kena: Bridge Of Spirits is a beautiful action-adventure game full of joy, wonder and character. It's a breath of fresh air.
Seems like a game worth supporting.
The studio appear to have accepted and embraced their limitations.
The result means it isn't an earth shattering release but what it does it does well and in some areas excels. (or at least thats how reviews come across)
Feels like an antithesis to BioMutant.
I would give it a go if I had a PS5 or it was on Xbox.
Definitely the CX it’s an amazing set. Not loads different. Think the overall nits are lower and there are some extra picture processing shenanigans but ports remain the same (4x HDMI2.1) and honestly a stunning picture.
The LG C9, CX and C1 are very incremental upgrades of the same TV and I think the recommendation has usually been get whichever is the cheapest. Bear in mind that Black Friday is mere weeks away now though.

Only just set it up, so will be doing some more tests shortly - including using the consoles etc. If you’re looking to avoid OLED costs, then the new QLED TCL’s seem a decent budget alternative.
I've given up for now too. Used up my Amazon vouchers on various things and realised I've got games coming out my ears elsewhere anyway. If Astrobot can wait so can everything else.
I haven't turned on my PS5 in almost 2 months, you are not missing much once Astobot is 100% completed and the structural issues with Returnal become apparent
Yeah I love my PS5. Play it far more than any other console it’s such a great machine (as is the Xbox but I just play it less). It’s quiet and the QoL stuff for loading and FPS improvements makes most PS4 games shine.
