In our Kena: Bridge of Spirits review, we praised its exploration, battle system, and visuals. Though it's a console exclusive for PS4 and PS5, you can also play this one on PC.

How to play Kena: Bridge of Spirits on PC

The main thing to know about this game on PC is that it's exclusive to the Epic Games Store. That's right — you'll need to download the client for EGS to get started before being able to purchase Kena: Bridge of Spirits. It's common for the Epic Games Store to feature exclusive games, as it makes the platform much more appealing.

Step 1: If you visit the Epic Games website right now, you'll be greeted with the option to download the launcher. Simply click the top right where it says Get Epic Games to do so.

Step 2: From here, you'll need to go through the steps of installing the launcher onto your computer, just like you would any other program. It's free to download, so as long as you have room on your computer, there's no downside. In fact, the platform often features free games for you to download, similar to PS Plus or Xbox Games With Gold — only they're actually free since you don't need to have a paid membership.

Step 3: After you've initiated the download, click through the prompts, and you'll eventually be asked to sign in. At this point, if you don't have an account, you can create one. After you've signed in, the EGS launcher will open and you'll be able to make your purchase.

Step 4: When it first launched, Kena was advertised all over the Epic Games Store, so it was easy to find. However, you can type in the name of the game in the search bar located in the top right of the screen to find it. Here, you can make your purchase. Keep in mind Kena: Bridge of Spirits costs $40. There's also a digital deluxe edition that costs $50, but comes with the soundtrack, a unique Kena Staff, and Golden Rot Skin.

How to play the Frostpunk 2 beta
A city in Frostpunk 2.

We're all awaiting the full release of Frostpunk 2 to give us some chills during the heat of the summer, but you don't have to wait until July to go back to the Frostlands. Developer 11 Bit Studios is hosting a beta period where players can experience some of the game much earlier. This isn't a regular open beta where anyone is free to download it and play with no restrictions. There is one big catch to gaining access, and even then, it is only available for a very limited time. Here's what you need to know about the Frostpunk 2 beta and how to join it.
When is the Frostpunk 2 beta?
The Frostpunk 2 beta will run from 1 p.m. ET on April 15 through April 22. That will give you seven days with the game, but you'll only be able to access a modified version of the sandbox mode called Utopia Builder Preview. No story missions or content will be available.
How to access the Frostpunk 2 beta
There's only one way to get yourself a slot in the Frostpunk 2 beta, and that is to pre-order the Deluxe Edition. This normally costs $75, but is currently on sale on Steam for $67. The Deluxe Edition also includes access to three future DLC packs, 72-hour early access to the story mode, an exclusive item, a digital novella, and a digital artbook and soundtrack.

As skilled as your character may be in Rise of the Ronin, there are some challenges you will want to bring in some backup for. After you're thrust into the open world after the tutorial, however, you won't find any clues as to how co-op works here, or if it even exists at all. While co-op certainly does exist in Rise of the Ronin, it isn't accessible right away and may be more limited than you would hope for in a game like this. It's time to draw your katanas as we prepare to cut through all the mystery surrounding how to play co-op.
How to play co-op

The first thing that needs to be made clear about co-op in Rise of the Ronin is that it can't be used while exploring the open world. That means you can't bring a friend along to explore, do the various activities on the map, or do any side missions.
