While I’m not actually sure I’ve come across a huskie yet, The Last Friend does contain a wealth of dogs to collect. The whole concept leans into the dog puns almost as heavily as I have and somehow it makes it charming. The four-legged companions are leveled up using dog treats, collected during combat, and nods to Mad Max inspired road warriors just make it all the more fun when you’re busy trying to find every wayward hound for the in game codex. Heck, you can even make camp and wander round petting the cuties too! The Last Friend isn’t an overly deep game but some of the classics aren’t either. It is a knowing mix of beat ’em ups and tower defense titles wrapped up in a beautiful glossy finish that would make a collies coat seem dull. The pacing is more akin to a mobile title than a night long raid, but that’s all part of this game’s overwhelming charm. If you have a few hours to spare then, whether it’s collecting all the canine cohorts or bashing end of stage bosses, you’ll find The Last Friend puts a smile on your face. The Last Friend is out now on PC. Check out more over on the official Steam Store now.
