If hope is truly the main theme of the story, there are better ways to tell it without vagueness and without subtle hints. Stories are meant to enthrall you, and they come first before gameplay. When one tells a story that can be remembered for weeks after the game has ended, then that’s an amazing game. The Last Campfire, to me, is an okay game — one that can do better.

The Last Campfire is a pleasant surprise and a radiant interactive fable about the light and goodness that exist in each one of us. It is a title with adorable characters that warm our hearts and an unforgettable journey through a magical, vibrant and contemplative world. Although it has some slight performance and gameplay problems, in addition to the lack of Portuguese dubbing, this beautiful and comforting story about empathy, loss and hope contextualizes each puzzle brilliantly, delivering a simple, sensitive and joyful experience for all ages.

It was a pleasure to spend time with The Last Campfire: a world filled with charm and wonder. The details of the world, and the characters in it, play like an interactive storybook. Poignant and charming, The Last Campfire is an adventure puzzle game that developers Hello Games should be very proud of. It deserves a spot on everyone’s Nintendo Switch.

The Last Campfire’s journey is one that’s both enchanting and touching, with its wonderful world and fun puzzles making for a memorable adventure throughout. There were a few oddities to encounter as far as performance is concerned and players might feel some sense of familiarity with the puzzle-design, but they’re minor issues in what is otherwise a creatively delightful experience.
