The Last Campfire is a puzzle adventure game where players control Ember, a lost soul on a journey to aid other stranded spirits while seeking a way home. To progress, they must interact with the environment and solve puzzles, gradually uncovering three main areas. The game’s melancholic yet calming atmosphere sets it apart. For those who prefer to focus on the story, an exploration mode removes most puzzles, offering a more relaxed experience.
The Last Campfire was developed by Hello Games, the studio behind the now-successful sandbox game No Man’s Sky, and was released in October 2021. The developers are also working on Light No Fire, an ambitious MMO that lets players explore an entire planet freely. The Last Campfire has been another success for Hello Games, further showcasing their talent for creating immersive worlds.
The puzzle adventure game has received over 11,000 reviews on Steam, maintaining a Very Positive rating of 97%. On Metacritic, it holds a Metascore of 83 and a User Score of 7.7. While generally well-received, some players criticize its short length, simple puzzles and repetitive mechanics, which can make the experience feel somewhat monotonous. According to howlongtobeat.com, the game takes around 5 to 6 hours to complete.
