Lost Ember Reviews
Lost Ember doesn't reinvent the wheel and also fights with some performance issues on the PS4 Pro but with the amount of playable animals the game really manages to stand out in the genre and makes its world feel alive. If you're looking for an relaxed adventure with a lot of cute animals and an emotional story on top of that you should get this game.

Games are often escapist entertainment, but not everyone enjoys games that are full of tension, conflict or violence - at least all of the time. Lost Ember is a different form of escapism, an emotional and soothing journey into the natural world and its nonhuman inhabitants.
It's very apparent that Lost Ember is a labour of love; one that forgoes any sort of depth and complexity in gameplay for the sake of beautiful presentation and an interesting story.
I am sure that we can still expect a lot from Moonlight Studios and will see it in the coming years. The potential is definitely there. Maybe it was also an attempt to start on three platforms at the same time that threw a little stone in the way of the deserved success.

Overall, Lost Ember is the type of game that you play when you want to take a break from the stress that the world gives you or from games that could also cause the same said stress. It’s a beautiful tapestry of breath-taking sceneries and mind-relaxing soundtrack. If you are looking for a game to de-stress or just want to escape the harsh reality of the world, then I highly recommend this game to you.
Despite its technical flaws, and the obvious lack of budget, the magnificent music, the subversive storyline and the sense of freedom through the mechanism that allows the player to play with any animal in the environment, offer a great overall experience. Its definitely one of the more liberating and relaxing games to play as of lately.

Lost Ember successfully creates a mechanic of switching between animals and exploring a gorgeous world in a seamless and unique manner. It’s a real highlight of the game which is only complemented further by having such an engrossing and strong narrative. It is a shame that some technical hiccups impair the games’ overall quality but none the less, it is a very worthy title for nature lovers or those looking for a relaxing experience to add to their Nintendo Switch library.
Lost Ember is a great narrative adventure that acts as a wonderful game to play over an evening. However, the Switch version lacks the beauty found in the other versions. It’s ultimately something that holds this version back because the visuals are a key feature of what makes this such a memorable game. Ultimately, Lost Ember is a game that you should play, but maybe not on the Switch.
Lost Ember offers a beautiful and unique adventure that’s unfortunately held back on the Nintendo Switch by some technical issues. Are these issues problematic to make the game feel terrible to play? Certainly not, but you won’t be getting the same compelling experience with the game that you can get on other platforms. Outside of these issues, Lost Ember has its share of special moments. I loved discovering its open-world and switching between creatures felt great, with the game offering this genuine sense of freedom that just makes exploration so enjoyable and liberating. Here’s hoping that a patch with fixes is released sooner rather than later then, because as it stands this gem of a game is a little too flawed to make it essential for Nintendo Switch owners.
Despite the relatively interesting story and narrative, the Nintendo Switch version of Lost Ember has suffered from a number of problems that have made it difficult to recommend the experience. The combination of numerous graphical bugs and gameplay with a very sharp and continuous frame drop has made Lost Ember a nerve-wracking experience that is not worth your time and money. In fact, the $ 30 price of the Nintendo Switch version of the title is more like a joke.

Lost Ember wears its influences proudly but it doesn’t surpass them. Nonetheless, it’s a personal tale told with style on a large and frequently beautiful canvas. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch version suffers from performance problems that are detrimental to the overall experience. If they can be fixed – and we’ll update this review if they are – you can happily add another half-point to our score.
The story in Lost Ember is one about a lone wolf and a curious spirit trying to remember what they have forgotten about their past lives in a journey across a beautiful world where past stories are re-told and truths are revealed.
Lost Ember has lovely visuals, simple gameplay mechanics and a heartfelt story. The calm and peaceful vibe of the gameplay is perfect for players looking for a laid-back game to play. It is not overly long, coming in at around five hours. If you like games with a strong narrative, animals and a little exploring the environment then Lost Ember might certainly be worth a look.
Lost Ember may have a predictable story but its emotional impact is still there and traveling a unique world as plenty of different animals sets it apart from others in the genre.
Games that dare to be different are always a bit of a risk...
Lost Ember is a glimpse and brings an exciting, dense and quirky story. The silence of the wolf in his memories was very well translated in the narrative, which shows a reality subject to forgiveness, revenge and anguish in the discoveries. Lost Ember should be played calmly, enjoying the view, especially the small details and the sounds of nature, braving the forest with various animals. Only loses points in processing and uneven fps, leaving the experience tiring.

Lost Ember has its heart and soul in the right place, and every time I discovered a new area I was left amazed with the gorgeous vistas and intense beauty of it all.
Lost Ember tells a compelling story amid gorgeous backdrops that keep you playing until its beautiful conclusion.
Despite a slow start and some minor bugs, Lost Ember is a beautifully designed game that offers great story and fun gameplay. Last Ember is 7 hours long game, but thanks to diversity in collectables, it has great repeat value too.
