This guide outlines the best graphics settings for Kena: Bridge of Spirits to help you achieve a smooth gameplay experience without sacrificing the game’s beautiful visual style. Whether you’re aiming for high FPS or visual fidelity, these recommendations strike the right balance.

---

Field of View & Motion Blur

• Field of View (FOV): This setting has no measurable performance impact. Set it based on personal preference.
• Motion Blur: Aesthetic preference. It complements the game’s cinematic style, but disabling it may gain 1–2 FPS and sharpen visuals.

---

Volumetric Fog & Ambient Occlusion

• Volumetric Fog: Visually subtle, but expensive in performance.
  🔧 Recommended Setting: Low
• Ambient Occlusion: The visual improvement is minimal, and performance cost is high.
  🔧 Recommended Setting: Low

---

Post Processing & Anti-Aliasing

• Post Processing: Affects film grain, chromatic aberration, and bloom effects.
  • Ultra/High: Adds dramatic visual effects but can feel overly stylized.
  • Medium/Low: Reduces visual clutter and enhances clarity.
  • 🔧 Recommended Setting: Low for sharp, clean visuals or High if you prefer smooth anti-aliasing.
• Anti-Aliasing: Impacts edge smoothness.
  • 🔧 Recommended: Low for crisper edges, High for softer, less jagged visuals.

---

Texture Quality & Foliage Density

• Texture Quality: Most modern GPUs handle Ultra without issue. Only reduce to Low if you have under 2GB of VRAM.
  🔧 Recommended Setting: Ultra
• Foliage Density: Little to no effect on performance.
  🔧 Recommended Setting: Ultra, unless on a very low-end system.

---

Shadows & Performance Optimization

• Shadows: A major performance factor.
  • High/Ultra: Sharp shadows with little benefit over Medium.
  • Medium: Best balance between quality and performance.
  • Low: May significantly reduce visual depth and immersion.
    🔧 Recommended Setting: Medium for a potential ~20 FPS gain.

---

Resolution Scale & Performance Tips

• Resolution Scale: If you need a major performance boost, lower the scale (e.g., 90–95%). Combine with higher Post Processing to retain visual smoothness.
• Overall FPS Gain: These optimized settings can deliver up to a 54% performance increase compared to the Ultra preset.
