    Working with a mix of a story of young love, where any distance apart can feel like agony, and some reasonably creative puzzle-solving Fire Tonight at least has a fresh general feel. That said, if the love story component isn’t something you’re craving, perhaps the essence of the puzzles, navigating through the city as you try to avoid fires (thus the game’s title) and the authorities, mayWorking with a mix of a story of young love, where any distance apart can feel like agony, and some reasonably creative puzzle-solving Fire Tonight at least has a fresh general feel. That said, if the love story component isn’t something you’re craving, perhaps the essence of the puzzles, navigating through the city as you try to avoid fires (thus the game’s title) and the authorities, may not have enough flavor to sustain the experience. It’s not meant to be long or terribly deep, more of a light snack of story and some exploration that completes itself rather quickly. Not bad, but not terribly inspiring either.

    Maya and Devin are separated in a city on fire. In the year 1990, before cell phones or Internet. They’re on their own, wondering about the choices that brought them here, how they met, and what the future might hold.

    Even if it’s not lengthy or challenging, Fire Tonight still wins you over on the strength of its personality. The game does an outstanding job of giving Maya and Devin personalities within its limited time, and it’s easy to root for them to achieve their modest goal. Even more importantly, the game looks and sounds incredible, with visuals that scream 1990 without being too obnoxious about it, and an incredible synth-pop score. It’s those things — the great music, the engaging characters, the nice graphics — that make it easy to overlook Fire Tonight’s short length. It’s not the sort of game that will swallow up days and days from your calendar, but if you’re looking for a fun way to spend an hour, Fire Tonight is definitely that.

    I’m a big supporter of shorter titles for the busy adult gamer, but Fire Tonight seemed to take the challenge to the extreme when they created this 40 minute experience. There’s a ton of quality packed into Fire Tonight, making for a great streaming or YouTube pick for content creators or just an easy, breezy game for those who want something a little more casual. Where the aesthetics are a sight for sore eyes and provide chill synth beats to relax to, there’s not a whole lot of replayability to be had here. But for the price of a cup of coffee, you could do a lot worse.
