Kena’s Switch 2 Debut Shines Visually, But Combat Isn’t Deep

Kena: Bridge of Spirits arrives on Switch 2 in stunning, Disney-like visuals with a charming Rot companion mechanic and a heartfelt story, while bundling New Game Plus, trials, and four difficulty modes; performance remains solid in handheld and docked. However, enemy variety is limited and the combat lacks depth, though exploration and Rot-related rewards help keep the experience engaging. Overall it’s a polished, must-play for fans of character-driven 3D platformers and earns a solid 8/10.
