Story driven action adventure from Ember Lab, Kena: Bridge of Spirits sits in the same space as modern Zelda style exploration and light Souls like combat, with a strong focus on atmosphere. The Deluxe Edition on PS4 bundles the base game with extra in game items, aimed at players who want a slightly richer starting kit rather than pure cosmetics.
Who is this for?
Pick this up if you like third person adventures that mix puzzle solving, platforming and boss fights without turning into a grind. Combat rewards timing and positioning, but it is more approachable than most punishing action RPGs. The real hook is the world: lush environments, a gentle pace between set pieces, and the Rot companions that help in fights and environmental puzzles, giving the game its personality.
Deluxe Edition extras: bonus in game items that give you a few more tools early on, rather than changing the core experience.
PS4 version: a solid choice if you want a disc copy for a standard PlayStation library.
