Another walking simulator with flow-like moments. Lost Ember kinda lacks what makes the other games so special, but also has some moments that are a breath of fresh air. transforming into different animals is very fun and creative, but there are so many times when the gameplay turns into a crawl where you have to control a slow animal. the cutscenes are also pretty bad and the story is forgettable. still a cool experience though.
Walking simulator with a beautiful journey. I liked the possessing different animals' thing. Maybe too many cutscenes though.
beautiful story but the lack of polish in some areas really took away from the gameplay and immersion, especially when you have to leave the game to figure out why the fuck i cant ram this damn wall!!
Cute, pretty, not too riveting
Super fun gameplay throughout the game. You follow a sprite as you learn about your past. During your journey, you can possess wild animals such as: ducks, wombats, fish, etc. The animals give you different abilities to reach secrets and progress your story. The game is pretty chill as you wander around the environments. I had a lot of fun goofing around as each animal to find hidden objects; it made finding collectables enjoyable.
The concept is pretty solid. The story is average. It's not remarkable but it wasn't bad either. The main voice actor has a nice voice and it matches the tone of the game.
It could use a bit of improvements. Sometimes the background sound would be glaringly loud while a couple of lines from a character was super quiet. The controls could be tighter.
The two biggest fixes: the camera and cutscenes. The camera moves a lot. You could see through walls at times. It'll move from first person to third to first again. One night I played, I had bad motion sickness from my session. Terrible vertigo. I think it was the camera moving constantly.
While I appreciate you can pick chapters if you're missing collectibles, but you cannot skip cutscenes. It forces you to watch them again to progress. Incredibly annoying that there's no option to skip.
Overall though, I had fun playing. I didn't mind collecting the extra collectibles too.

would've been better as an open world sandbox type game completely focused on the animal swap gameplay and without the lackluster, kind of annoying story
