Certainly a novel way to connect with pals, and not without merit in its relaxing blend of gathering wood and testing yourself to keep the fire burning, Chillin' By The Fire has its positives. The GameShare aspects, when playing with friends, work well and are easy to set up, and it's nice to be able to buy one copy and then invite folk along. I also enjoyed the light puzzling for a time as I worked to keep my fire alive.However, beyond these basic aspects and some achievements, and especially for solo players, there's not much else here.

Oink Games decided to try something very different here, but has remained true to their design philosophy. No, I did not think I'd recommend a fire-building simulator in 2025, but frankly this one ignited something in me that I wasn't expecting. Now how long will it take for the true pyromaniacs to start speedrunning this game?.
