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

    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.    … Expand

    Embers of Mirrim is a solid puzzle-platformer with atmospheric visuals and storytelling woven into interesting puzzle segments. It's rather short and can sometimes be frustrating due to a few shortcomings, but the overall package is quite fun and engaging to play through once.

    Embers of Mirrim has a fantastic core concept: controlling two characters simultaneously in a 2.5D platformer. Developer Creative Bytes have leveraged this concept against a deep variety of puzzles and challenges, and wrapped the whole thing in a majestic, understated graphical style.

    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.
