    Highwater takes us on a new adventure across a flooded post-apocalyptic Earth, presented in a distinctive style Demagog Studio is known for. With its unique approach to turn-based combat, road trip-esque vibe, amazing visuals, soundtrack and immersive atmosphere, Highwater is living proof that video games are an art form.

    Highwater is an excellent adventure game that puts a magnifying glass up to the growing issue of climate change and the ambivalence that humans can have towards the state of the environment. While the story is bogged down by inconsistent writing, I found plenty to enjoy in its combat system and its ancillary storytelling.

    A unique, story-driven take on the post-apocalypse with an emphasis on its story, characters, and exploration.
