I love the look, the feel, the tenderness, the hope and all the wonderful puzzles 🧩❣️❣️ I just finished this game and I am both satisfied and yet tempted to start it all over again to find or solve parts I missed! (And to stay in this beautifully arranged environment longer:) My 6 year old daughter has been playing on her own (with some help) and we’ve been playing side by side helping each other. While she watched me finish my game she was sad, said she never wanted to leave and immediately wanted to find a “last campfire 2”. As a Mom trying to change my world and the world beyond through teaching myself and my children, it is so wonderful to find such a touching game as this that is charming, engaging, beautiful, challenging and has such a truly deep and healing message - as we all have felt stuck and hopeless at times! And it’s wonderful to remember and reinforce that we are not alone and all in this together and we are here to help each other home. It’s such a joy to find a game with puzzles and challenges that my children love that isn’t intermingled with all the violence and elements of attack as so many other favorite games have. Even my 16 year old daughter, who loves Breath of the wild and Hero phoenix rising loves this game! We love good puzzles and it is such a wonderful joy to be healing the mind along the way! Thank You Creative team for making such a fun and beautiful game!

Embarrassingly, I just downloaded this game because I got the 12 Pro Max recently and wanted to test the graphics quality. I searched “HD game” and this popped up. At first I was bummed and wanted the graphics to be a bit higher quality... but immediately something happened inside me. My little heart was cradled by the whole mental and emotional production of it all. The dialog is actually really deep, music is moving, and the story is special. I just finished this game and can’t really explain the feeling I have. For all those little healers out there who enjoy thinking games, this isn’t a game... it’s an experience. It’s a healing, and captivating experience and I think it came out at just the time when the world needs this message of hope most. ❤️Edit: I just read some other review and I definitely agree that this game helps mental health in more ways than I can explain. One review thought that the game should be free, but from what I can remember from the buy screen, I thought it is. If this was something done because of the comments, I am sincerely grateful. I needed this experience. Thank you. Also I don’t really know what to do know. I’m sad it’s over, and I want to play another game, but I don’t want one without the meaning and adorable nature of this one... think I’ll be on the hunt for an experience like this for a while 🙏🏾🥰

I generally get games on my phone to pass a few minutes here and there. I did not count on being so drawn in to The Last Campfire (or spending 10ish hours completing it.) I have played many games on many platforms but never have I had anything close to the beautiful, moving experience of playing this game. It absolutely blows my mind that this game is included with Apple Arcade. First, the reason I originally downloaded the game: the puzzles are thinky and fun - challenging but not much so that you get overly frustrated. Lots of variety and nothing tedious about them! The graphics and sound are incredible - every tiny visual detail is depicted, the shadows fall exactly as they would in real life, you can see the texture on objects. You hear the stretching and snap of cobwebs as you walk through them, the gentle lapping of the water against your boat as you row, and the narration is perfect (I also listen to a lot of audiobooks and the narrator for this game is probably the best narrator I’ve ever heard!) The story is deep and emotional, full of reflective moments...I found myself close to tears a few times, and downright cried at the end. I have depression, anxiety and adhd, a good bit of fear about death and the afterlife, loads of existential dread. Ember’s journey - the conversations held with others, the wise words given and received, and especially the conclusion of the story - was like a healing balm for all of these. The entire experience was perfect, and I can’t recommend the game enough.

I don’t even have the words to describe just how great this game is. This game is not only ADORABLE, but also unique in all the best ways. The Last Campfire challenges both your mind and your heart. Every puzzle is strategic in it’s own way and encourages you to think outside of the box. The story it tells is so beautiful and narrated in such an alluring way. The closing scene captured my heart in a way no other game has before. It teaches an important lesson and puts life into a completely different perspective. The creators gave a face to what it feels like to lose hope & went a step further to show the importance of pressing forward throughout it all.The Last Campfire shows the impact that holding onto hope can have on an individual and those around them. It shows the importance of giving and lending a helping hand. This game has so much potential for aiding in mental health & I didn’t even think that was possible for a video game, much less an App Store game. I can’t find the words to describe just how great this game is. The Last Campfire will always hold a special place in my heart and I recommend it to absolutely everyone.
