David from BagoGames writes: The Council started off strong with an intriguing first episode that set a mystery-fueled plot in motion. Its eccentric cast of characters were charming while its RPG elements shook up the traditional adventure game genre. Unfortunately, it’s seen a stark variation in quality between episodes. Episode 4: Burning Bridges is no exception to this worrying trend.
Hardcore Gamer's Adnan Riaz writes: "When players are able to reach the intriguing finale Burning Bridges poses, the final decision shows that the battle lines have been well and truly drawn. It’s a fitting moment that encapsulates why players have stuck with The Council up to this point, despite the technical issues that have reoccurred throughout all four episodes."
The Council's fourth episode, Burning Bridges, brings us close to the end. Is it any fun getting there, or are too many bridges burnt?
The Council - Episode Four: Burning Bridges is the best episode of the game so far. The key mechanics are sound, the story is downright baffling (in a good way), and the setup for the finale is spot on.
