Ember (PC) Review

In the distant past, a time called 1999, my family came into possession of our first computer. My parents were positive this would be a valuable tool that would drastically improve my schoolwork. I however, knew the truth. What followed was a period of sloth and gaming that was never present in my life largely due to games like Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Diablo. Those were good times. Ember, N-Fusion Interactive’s recent RPG, certainly brings back those memories. CRPGs, like those are experiencing a revival of sorts. Between new entries into the genre like the Shadowrun games and Pillars of Eternity, along with mobile ports of Icewind Dale and Baldur’s Gate, it is a great time for fans of sprawling worlds and deep stories. These games offer enthralling, engaging plots and complex layered systems, and that’s what’s great about them. While Ember succeeds in emulating the look and story of this style of game, no one can call the mechanic complex in the slightest.

[...]

Ember offers a fun RPG experience from a rising indie developer reminiscent of classical games of the genre. Technical flaws and over-simplified mechanics mar an otherwise quality experience.

Score: 6.5/10
