    This game is so good - filled with wonder and charm - but seriousness also. The voicework on the main character is excellent and reinforces the mood.

The puzzles have a nice difficulty curve, and never fall into being too hard; the difficulty feels just right for this kind of game. I'm an adult, and I've thoroughly enjoyed most everything about this game. I knocked one point off my score for a bit of glitchiness that required a reload (I'm playing in the first weeks after release, so these are probably in process of being patched.)

    Anyhow, I've enjoyed the so much and came here to leave this review to spread the word. This is one of those gems that gamers need to play.    … Expand

    The game is simply beautiful.

    It is a relaxing adventure. The narrator is absolutely pleasant to listen to. The puzzles go from easy to moderate in difficulty. All the environments are beautiful.

    Visually appealing and oddly moving, the most surprising thing in this short puzzle game is the way in which it touches lightly on profound themes of empathy and hope. The game is spread across of handful of regions, each of which introduces new mechanics to the puzzles to be solved.

    On the whole, a satisfying 6+ hours of gameplay.    … Expand

    I loved this game it almost reminded me of Journey. I will definitely play it again. I think it had a great message and I liked it didn’t hold your hand you had to figure out what to do next yourself. The puzzles weren’t too hard but at the same time weren’t too easy.

    Uno dei giochi più ispirati di quest'anno sia a livello artistico che a livello tecnico.Puzzle ambientali ben congeniati e durata tra le 9-10 ore consacrano Hello Games con un titolo completamente diverso dal loro controverso primo titolo.Consigliato.

    Este un joc de puzzle foarte lipsit de lumină. Interfața nu este făcută pentru PC și există erori non-stop și intrări laggy (softlocked de mai multe ori). Farmecul pentru care jocul este mult prea superficial, astfel încât puzzle-urile acceptabile lasă de dorit. Încercați în schimb GRIS!

    Visually the game looks fine. The big issue for me is that it's a 3d game using point-to-click movement (you don't use with WASD or controller joystick, you just click once where you want to go). With the 3d environment and semi-realistic cartoony artstyle, this immediately ruins my immersion in the game. Movement becomes clunky and just looks off compared to the rest of the game.

The puzzles are okay even though they can be really easy at times.

    It's not a bad game, just really mediocre. The lauch price is fairly low but i'd still wait for a good sale if I were to buy it at all.    … Expand

    Just good. There are some bugs, but other aspects are perfect. Lovely visual, soundtrack and atmosphere.

    I highly recommend using the arrow keys and space bar instead of point and click :) Fun and relaxing game, I loved it.

    This is a wonderful experience and a rewarding game to play. The visuals and sound of this serene, explorer, puzzle solver are sublime and add to the whole experience. The narrator's voice is magic, with a young, naive girl's tone full of wonder that accompanies you on your journey. My only complaint is that I did not quite feel I understand what had gone on by the time I reached the end.This is a wonderful experience and a rewarding game to play.

My only complaint is that I did not quite feel I understand what had gone on by the time I reached the end. But that says more about me than the game. The puzzles are satisfyingly challenging without being too hard. The controls are simple and make sense. The journey is partially linear (you move from campfire to campfire) partially exploratory (free to move around in each of the lands to find lost souls). Probably about 10 hours of gameplay.… Expand

    The latest game by No Man’s Sky developer is not only enjoyable to play, but also pleasant to look at. Despite visual simplicity it will charm you with its style and vibrant colors, bewitch you with its fairy tale atmosphere and sooth your senses with subdued soundtrack. If you’re looking for a puzzle game that won’t overheat your brain but will provide a couple of hours of varied fun, give The Last Campfire a chance. [11/2020, p.59]

    Without too much fanfare, The Last Campfire is a proposal that fulfills its purposes, through a game that develops a profound narrative and with the aim of reaching the heart of those who are at the other side of the screen. Neither its puzzles are a challenge nor its gameplay is the most elaborate in the world, but if we take this as a kind of "short film video game" it provides very good moments. An evocative title that is not common and only appears from time to time and that helps to provide a differential touch winch is so necessary in the games industry.
