The Flame in the Flood

Campaign mode isn't terribly long, but there's a lot of replayability in Endless Mode.

Although containing a clunky crafting system and becoming monotonous downriver, it boasts a great soundtrack with interesting characters and subtle lore accompanying smooth storybook style animation.

Overall, a beautiful story and compelling experience that made surviving through it well worth it.

The lighting also gives a unique look to the game depending on the time of the day - bright, yellow-ish color in the daytime, and dark, blue-ish color at nighttime.

The game is best played with a gamepad, right now it's even mandatory if you want to get through the rapids without smashing your boat at every single rock.
