    The Last Campfire is a beautifully told tale with a fantastic blend of smart puzzles and eye-catching art direction.

    The Last Campfire is a delightful little game that succeeds on both an emotional and a mechanical level, combining tried and tested environmental puzzles with an intimate and personal story. It represents a huge departure from the title that made Hello Games (in)famous but is a perfectly formed experience that continues to entertain throughout its well-judged duration. Probably the best thing to happen to campfires since toasted marshmallows.

    The Last Campfire is a wonderful way to while away a few evenings, pondering your own mortality while having a fun time doing it by solving puzzles in a lovely fantasy world.

    The latest game by No Man’s Sky developer is not only enjoyable to play, but also pleasant to look at. Despite visual simplicity it will charm you with its style and vibrant colors, bewitch you with its fairy tale atmosphere and sooth your senses with subdued soundtrack. If you’re looking for a puzzle game that won’t overheat your brain but will provide a couple of hours of varied fun, give The Last Campfire a chance. [11/2020, p.59]

    Without too much fanfare, The Last Campfire is a proposal that fulfills its purposes, through a game that develops a profound narrative and with the aim of reaching the heart of those who are at the other side of the screen. Neither its puzzles are a challenge nor its gameplay is the most elaborate in the world, but if we take this as a kind of "short film video game" it provides very good moments. An evocative title that is not common and only appears from time to time and that helps to provide a differential touch winch is so necessary in the games industry.

    The Last Campfire is a short experience, well executed, but trivial in the result.

The voicework on the main character is excellent and reinforces the mood. The artwork is beautiful, animation excellent, and the world feels alive. The puzzles have a nice difficulty curve, and never fall into being too hard; the difficulty feels just right for this kind of game. I'm an adult, and I've thoroughly enjoyed most everything about this game. I knocked one point off my score for a bit of glitchiness that required a reload (I'm playing in the first weeks after release, so these are probably in process of being patched.)

    Anyhow, I've enjoyed the so much and came here to leave this review to spread the word. This is one of those gems that gamers need to play.    … Expand

The game is spread across of handful of regions, each of which introduces new mechanics to the puzzles to be solved.

    The puzzles themselves are varied and generally interesting, though not the most challenging: for me, they ranged from easy to moderate, though it helps to have a good spatial sense and a willingness to experiment.

    On the whole, a satisfying 6+ hours of gameplay.    … Expand
