    Embers Of Mirrim is a delightful fantasy adventure with only a few notable flaws. It may be a bit on the short side and have some jarring bottlenecks that pull you out of your enjoyment, but it’s a beautiful game to experience from an artistic standpoint. We would recommend it to anyone who has an appreciation for art in gaming form. Although the gameplay sometimes misses that mark, Mirrim nonetheless stands as a worthy experience for those that are looking to try something a little more thoughtful.

    Embers of Mirrim offers some solid, clever and challenging platform action. If only it had a more gripping story, or something else which drew you into the characters it might have been a bit more memorable.

    Thinking back on it there were pieces I really enjoyed. But it was also the kind of game I couldn't play for more than a half hour at a time. Even when I was enjoying it, I could feel it overstaying its welcome. It's decent in short bursts, but marathoning it would just expose its warts even further.

    Great game if you want to get bored out of your goddamn mind.

    It starts out promising with cute characters and all and seems like a game that offers you some sort of deeper "experience", but trust me it's none of that.

    The game has a hard time deciding if it wants to be a platformer or a puzzle game, the mix between the two just does not work.

    There is no facial animation, so it feels very bland and lifeless.

    Honestly you gotta be some sort of major furry to enjoy this game I think, the critic scores are ridiculous.

    Also beating the game takes you 3 hours at most, for a price tag of 19.99? Lmao get outta here.

    Genuinely boring af.    … Full Review »
