    Log Away turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I never thought too much about a game where you could just build cozy log cabins to your heart's content, but this one works quite nicely. It could maybe do with adding a few extra content, namely construction options and furniture and furnishings. Otherwise everything you need to create your own dream cabin, a place to just unwind, is possible with Log Away.

    Log Away is a relaxing little builder that you can lose yourself in for a little while. It might have some bumps here and there, but you’ll have fun if you play it on occasion.

    Log Away doesn’t have quite as much to offer as other games in its genre, lacking the sprawling freedom offered in other building games and not making it up enough in other areas to make it worth playing all on its own merit. While Log Away certainly has its moments when the sun hits your cabin just right, the overall experience leaves a lot to be desired, with hardly enough opportunity for creativity to make coming back worth it.

    Log Away taught me that the hardest part of escaping into the woods isn’t hunger or the cold, but fighting the interface and desperately searching for anything - absolutely anything - meaningful to do.

    Log Away aims for calm cabin-building bliss and reaches it…only to lose it minutes later. While its cosy vibes have some charm, with no pressure to do anything besides crafting the tiny retreat of your dreams, the experience is dragged down by poor optimisation, a lack of settings, and shallow, highly limited building options. With nothing to do after quick completion and no world to explore, relaxation soon turns into boredom.
