Notice: I completed the game on the Switch version and was incredibly addicted to completing the game once I got past the intro areas and became proficient. Highly recommend this title to anyone that loves action/adventure/puzzle/platformer. Great atmosphere. Blue Fire is an amazing action-adventure game that presents a polished package similar to Zelda titles before Breath of the Wild. The level design is tight and intentional. The story unfolds in sections, with each potion of the world becoming more accessible as you gain tools and skills (or you get really good at what you have and get somewhere early). Each new item or skill is added as you start to become proficient with the previous ones, and the gameplay becomes ever more addictive with each newly mastered technique. I couldn't put this game down. Remember how you solve one puzzle, because there is a good chance it was there to teach out how to do a portion of the next one. The controls are precise and responsive. Each death or failure is your own fault. I have played a lot of action-adventure games that can't get the feel right, but luckily in Blue Fire the camera moves as it should and your character immediately response to input. Since the game has platforming that requires precise inputs, this is very important. Thankfully the controls are implemented well. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere. Take a look at videos and screenshots and know that the style is consistent throughout the entire experience. Whether in sewers, bogs, cathedrals, walkways or castle balconies, the visuals have a unified vision that makes the world feel "real". I did get lost once, but this game rewards you for exploring, so I kept at it until I found myself back on track. It's a mostly linear experience that becomes more open as you unlock or find ways into other areas. Didn't get lost to the point where a walkthrough was needed, so it wasn't a frustrating lost. Nearly perfect experience. Highly recommended.
