The Flame in the Flood Reviews
View All (89 total)Lovely and challenging with enjoyable crafting and survival elements, but poor river controls make it harsher than it should be.
The Flame in the Flood is a beautiful procedurally generated survival sim that gains a welcome sense of momentum from the need to stay on the move. Its unwieldy menus and tendency to crash ruins some of the fun, unfortunately, but not enough to diminish the strength of the hopeful, riverbound journey at its core.
If you can handle the wild river - and the odd bug - there's plenty to love in this heartfelt survival game.
Not the deepest wilderness survival game around in terms of gameplay, but certainly one of the most atmospheric and thought-provoking.
