Critic reviews
- 8.0The Last Campfire is an unusually freeform puzzle adventure that stuffs its six-hour playtime with conundrums of every kind. While a few puzzle designs deserve more time in the spotlight – or could support whole games by themselves – the game's commitment to new ideas makes for a refreshing change of pace. This is proof that Hello Games don’t have to build a universe from scratch to entertain. More of this, please.
- 8.0While The Last Campfire might not be bristling with new ideas for the genre, it packs more or less every kind of puzzle you could expect and embellishes the package with immerse charm and creative ingenuity.
- 7.0Stories are meant to enthrall you, and they come first before gameplay. When one tells a story that can be remembered for weeks after the game has ended, then that’s an amazing game. The Last Campfire, to me, is an okay game — one that can do better.
- 6.0Unfortunately, the controls in The Last Campfire are also a bit clunky. Ember can be tough to move, and often gets caught on tiny lips in the environment. Similarly, the tool used to move objects sometimes disengages or fails to pick an item up.
- 6.0The former is a consistent issue that breaks immersion a little too often, but there's always a delightful NPC or puzzle on the other side to draw you back in. Despite not doing anything new, The Last Campfire is a lovely palate cleanser in between the bigger games this year.
