Kena Bridge of Spirits PC Settings Guide - Best Visuals at 60 FPS
Kena: Bridge of Spirits has now been released on the PC and it's amazing!
But despite it's simplicity, it is quite demanding on the GPU. Fortunately, the graphics settings allows for tangible performance customizability.
This means a wide range of PC users can tailor their experience according to their own configuration. (Unlike other games with settings that don't mean anything *coughs* *Biomutant*)
Fun fact: Kena's developer - Ember Lab - is primarily a CGI studio that makes animation and digital content for marketing. They are a team of ONLY 14 people and this is their first time creating a game! Absolutely impressive!
If you noticed, I was only able to test in the early area because this is exactly how I setup my games after installing them: first get the best possible framerate-visuals combination before proceeding with enjoying the game. The flow of the video is also a 1:1 reflection of how I configured my graphics settings for Kena in real-life.
UPDATE: Patch 1.08 changenote highlights optimization improvements in the final area boss fight. Kindly test it out and report if it does improve performance.
Tell me all about your experience guys, did you also have the weird ambient occlusion issue? What game would you like to see next?
