Improved Anti-Aliasing with 40 FPS – Advanced Graphics Settings
I managed to find a way to significantly improve antialiasing in Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Steam Deck (Steam version). With my help, you will enable the advanced TAAU image scaling technique in the game and significantly reduce sharpening.

In Desktop Mode, go to:

/home/deck/.steam/steam/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1954200/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Kena/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/
Download Engine.ini file and put it here.

You can also create a text file yourself, name it Engine.ini and paste the following lines:

[SystemSettings]
r.PostProcessAAQuality=4
r.TemporalAA.Upsampling=1
r.TemporalAA.Algorithm=1
r.ScreenPercentage=70
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

[ConsoleVariables]
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.5

When you are ready then return to Gaming mode and launch the game. To maintain better performance I recommend changing the graphics settings to:

Window Mode: Fullscreen
Resolution: 1280×800
Graphics API: DirectX 12
V-Sync: On
Motion Blur Intensity: personal choice
Quality: Custom

Advanced Graphics
Dynamic Resolution: Disabled
Screen Percentage: 100
Visible Rot: Low
FPS Limit: Unlimited
Motion Blur: Medium (or off)
Volumetric Fog: Low
Ambient Occlusion: Low
Post Processing Quality: Medium
Textures: High
Foliage: Medium
Shadows: Low
