Though the game is filled with some fairly common action-adventure genre tropes-it has melee combat that feels akin to titles such as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order or even Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, climbing sections similar to Uncharted or Tomb Raider, platforming that recalls games such as Ratchet and Clank, and puzzles like what you might see in The Legend of Zelda-it manages to combine a familiar approachability with some fresh spins on the ideas. Looking at common things with new eyes is a running theme of Kena, and that theme often applies to its gameplay as well. Locations that were once the sites of vibrant and happy times are scarred with the pain and trauma suffered within them. Objects like a construction hammer or a box filled with food are tied to memories of people who have been lost. A wooden mask is a link to the spirit of the person for whom it was made. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is one of the games you can upgrade.In Kena: Bridge of Spirits, everyday items are imbued with new, unseen emotional significance. Some game upgrades are available only in cross-gen bundles or special editions.A few games' saves won't transfer, and some require you to upload your save manually from the PS4 version before you can access it on PS5.You'll end up with a fresh list of trophies (each version's list is separate).Next-gen versions will be bigger files, so they'll take up more precious memory on the console's SSD.Some PS5 versions of current PS4 games aren't out yet.There are a few more limitations and caveats: If you opted for the digital-only PS5 and have a disc, you're out of luck. You'll still download the PS5 update from the PSN, but you won't need a PS5-specific disc - your PS4 one will become an authenticator. You'll always need to use the PS4 disc to play the PS5 version upgrading doesn't get you a free digital copy of the game. You can also upgrade to PS5 versions if you have a physical PS4 game, as long as you bought the PS5 with a disc drive. If you have a PS5, make sure you're playing the best possible version of your games.
