Ember

Ember is one of those games that leans on mood and movement more than on complicated systems. By our assessment, its appeal is in the feel of guided progression and the way it asks for a calm, steady pace rather than twitch play. That also means the ceiling is modest if someone wants deep mechanical layers or a very sharp competitive edge. In use it tends to be gentler, more about drifting through its spaces and taking in the atmosphere than about mastering a dense ruleset. Against larger, more famous games in the medium, Ember sits in the smaller, quieter lane. Ember is for players who want something unhurried and simple, not a long technical climb.
