    The writing from Coralie and Florent Maurin is nothing short of extraordinary; the team did not focus as much on technical subtleties, but we are ready to forgive some of the shortcomings given the exceptional quality of The Wreck’s narrative, fully capable to express all the majestic – and sometimes scary – might of our lives and our destinies.

    With a playthrough taking around four hours, you can be done with The Wreck in one sitting. Chances are, you’ll come to care for its characters, as flawed as they all may be – but that’s something this game does excellently. It’s real. It’s raw. It doesn’t try to sugar-coat how brutal grief – and human emotions as a whole – can be. It tells its story in a beautiful way, and while there are no major plot twists or huge, action-packed moments, it kept us hooked from start to finish. The Wreck might not be a technical marvel, but it’s clear that The Pixel Hunt have mastered the art of human storytelling.
