It's like playing a beautiful, sad, playful children's book, narrated by a Scottish girl with a wonderful voice. It has a lot of interesting puzzles, some of which are very challenging. I was blown away by the artwork and design, and the world it's set in, and the way it weaves a pervasive sense of melancholy into everything. Truly, one of the best, and most moving, experiences I have ever had playing a game.… Expand

The player character never fightsThe Last Campfire excels at what it is, a chill puzzle game with a lot of heart. There are no stakes here. The player character never fights and never dies. The puzzles start off easy and grow in complexity but never so much that they cannot be solved with brute force. (What if I place this block here, how about here, and now how about here!) The point of the game is to take a magical post existence journey with a lot of colorful characters and a gentle narrator.
   
   Some will bring up the value per hour argument for games. I brush those concerns aside, mostly because I bought the game for 1/2 price (as I often do) but also because quality is more important to me than quantity. During my 6 hour playthrough, I enjoyed every hand made level and every puzzle. Pieces have a nice sound to them as you slid them around. I can understand an argument that the puzzles should be harder. The game, though, really wants you to finish it. You even get a platinum trophy for your efforts. Indeed, 51% of players have the trophy for completing the game, some of the highest completion stats I have ever seen. Variety is good. Chill games are good. Short games are good. If you are like me, you might easily spend 6 hours working on a platinum trophy or collecting gems to raise your attack by 5%. Think about what you have just done with your precious time here on earth. Maybe you could spend that time playing an entire other game instead. The Last Campfire can be that game.
   
   All-in-all, I recommend The Last Campfire. This is the kind of game that makes me question the devotion to bloated, open world AAA games and microtransaction driven games-as-a-service. How much more would you enjoy your free time if you spent on hand made little experiences like The Last Campfire. What if a game is really just exploring someone's imagination? Whose imagine would you pay to explore?… Expand

A classic story driven puzzle game, with a lovely graphic style a basic but cute story and a fantastic score. Really like the narrator too, she has a good voice and the accent is very pleasant too. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's a lovely game to play to relax.… Expand

Right off the bat I was impressed with the visuals of the game. I love the little Embers, they remind me of the beans from Fall guys, and the world that is created here is very immersive. The melancholy soundtrack fits the mood of the game perfectly, as there is not a very happy or upbeat subject matter dealt with in the story line. It’s nothing too serious, though. The main goal of the game is to find your way back home and to help fellow Embers who have lost hope and become “Forlorn” along their journey. I enjoyed the narration and storytelling throughout the game, which is not something that I normally care for. I also enjoyed how the story wrapped up in the end as well, but it did leave me wanting more content. Gameplay is super simple, in fact I’d definitely recommend this game to younger gamers who enjoy puzzle platformers as the puzzles in this game are not very difficult at all. I guess that’s one of my main gripes with the game. I feel that if the puzzles were a little bit tougher and the game a little bit longer, it would have been absolutely amazing. All in all it’s a game that will take you about 5-6 hours to beat if you explore the entire map and find all of the journal notes. The areas that you explore are unique enough that no map is required, so getting lost is not a big problem. All in all it’s a game well worth the $6 I spent on it, and I definitely recommend this for beginner gamers and veterans alike. You can see that much passion and care were put in by the devs when creating this fantastic little world. I’d love to see a part II in the future, hopefully a little longer and a bit harder.… Expand
