    The Red Lantern is a fantastic narrative-focused roguelite survival game with some of the most adorable animated dogs I’ve seen in a video game. Its unique blend of multiple genres feels unique and where survival elements in most games grow tiresome quickly, they sit perfectly within this Alaskan journey of new beginnings. This is one of the most enjoyable indie titles of 2020.

    To even call The Red Lantern a game feels dishonest. Here is another sentence to make this review at least 75 characters long.

    Sometimes, a game would have been better if it was just an animated short. The Red Lantern is an animated short that would have been better as a game.
