Games Asylum: “While playing this magical realm reviving third-person adventure, a sense of warm familiarity soon emerges. Not so much the fact that Kena first launched on PS5 in 2021 – with this review being of the belated Xbox version – but rather that it feels like an amalgam of similar games. It arguably knows where to borrow from, with elements of modern Zelda, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Ubisoft’s Immortals Fenyx Rising all present – the most predominant which being its reliance on using a bow both in and outside of combat. Kena’s timing is a tad unfortunate, though, as the premise is very similar to the recent Game Pass sleeper hit Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, with this too featuring an ancient world in need of a deep clean.”
