The Flame in the Flood

I would've never thought a random game i picked up on sale for less than 4 bucks in 2017 would be in my top 20, but here we are.. Simple to pick up, but doesn't hold your hand..surprisingly in depth..Tim Burton like art style..touching and heart warming and honestly one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game that sets the mood.. Im still playing it in 2023

this is not a game I would usually play but I bought it for my wife. I will have to say that this game is addictive. it's a simple introduction to a survival type game with great art and gameplay. this is my first review ever of a game on Xbox in the 10 years I've been on live and it deserves it.

TFITF is addicting and challenging even on the easiest difficulty. The developers put their heart and souls in this game and it shows. Definitely recommend if you enjoy roguelike games.

I paid full price, and don't regret it. Not sure if I'll come back to it or not. It's an interesting and challenging roguelike survival game. It get's a little easier after you realize you can store things on your raft from the beginning while on the dock through the inventory screen, lol. I really enjoyed the art style and music. Just seemed a little repetitive for me, but honestly, that may be me losing interest in games in general.

Personally I think this is a really good game. Finally came back and beat it in 2025. Terrific soundtrack. Great art. This is a challenging game for sure, but once you understand how to finesse it you'll be fine. Tip: Use a torch if need be and get the animals to fight each other 👌
