“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍 Highly Recommended 👍 Kena: Bridge of Spirits was honestly such a great experience. I played it together with a friend where we shared our screens and went through the game side by side, and it made it even…”
“Beautiful, gorgeous and challenging but thank you to the devs for including a difficulty option. I know souls games are all the rage but some of us play to unwind and get swift away to fantasy world to escape reality…”
“This game is absolutely gorgeous. The visuals and world-building are so charming that at first glance you’d think it’s a cozy adventure. Don’t be fooled though ts is tuff!!! I dove straight into Master diff. on my first…”

“STEAM DECK REVIEW: 9/10 great story, great combat, great mechanics, LOOKS BEAUTIFUL and runs GREAT on steam deck. Puzzles are okay but need more diversity other than throwing a bomb and shooting an arrow to make rocks…”
“I was a bit disappointed in this one. It looks really beautiful, don't get me wrong... but it just... doesn't quite go the distance it needs to in any other category. This is a linear, story-driven game that is a bit…”

“The game left quite a pleasant impression, especially with its atmosphere that feels like a fairytale. The story is simple but enjoyable, and the gameplay is generally traditional, without any major innovations.…”
“Stuttery mess on the performance side, clunky controls and movement on input side, with really uninspired mechanics and exploration and weightless combat on gameplay side. Other than pretty but shallow picture there is…”
“I wanted to really like this game. It has the foundations to be a very good game. However, it fails to actually build on any of those foundations besides the visuals. I think the worst aspects of this game really shine…”

“Story is a 5/10. Serviceable and has its moments, but it could have been better. Good gameplay. Trials are interesting, but felt like it was disconnected to the main story. These could have been integrated into it (for…”
