OnlySP's Amy Davidson: "Pine is incredibly ambitious. Successfully funded on Kickstarter roughly two-and-a-half years ago, small Netherlands developer Twirlbound set about working on its big idea. The project promised to combine many genres: the adventuring of a Zelda title, Shadow of Mordor’s intricate AI simulation of NPC friendships and rivalries, a dash of Fable‘s hero’s journey, and a Bloodborne-inspired combat system for good measure. Promising Breath of the Wild on a shoestring budget, Pine very nearly achieves its lofty ambitions, featuring an engaging world, impressively deep simulation, and a wide variety of gameplay systems. However, the clunky controls, poor communication with the player, and a raft of bugs prevent Pine from reaching its full potential."
Starting today, Pine is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until May 13 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
An open-world action adventure game set in a simulated world in which humans never reached the top of the food chain.
Pine creates a unique ecosystem of creatures surviving and then throws humans in to complicate things.
