If you want to pick up a beloved adventure game for a bargain price, you’ve come to the right place.
Hello Games’ The Last Campfire is currently on sale for practically next-to-nothing so I want to use this as an opportunity to advise as many of you as possible to play this absolute gem of a game.
The Last Campfire sees players assume the role of an ember, who finds themselves trapped in a strange realm.
You’re left to search for a way home, tackling an array of puzzles, all whilst you try to figure out the meaning behind what’s happened to you.

The puzzles are enormously fun to solve - and pairing these with The Last Campfire’s touching narrative makes for an experience that is equal parts delightful and memorable.
If you want a narrative that touches on the themes of hope and friendship, then this one's for you.
If you enjoyed titles like Tunic and Journey, The Last Campfire isn’t too dissimilar.
ICYMI: Astro Bot is out now. Take a look at the game in action below.
Upon release, The Last Campfire garnered a very respectable score of 83.
IGN wrote, “The Last Campfire is a beautifully told tale with a fantastic blend of smart puzzles and eye-catching art direction,” while GameSpot added, “When The Last Campfire captivates - which it does so often - it's difficult not to sink into its breezy pacing and satisfying puzzle-solving. It never overstays its welcome or stretches puzzle ideas beyond their limits, letting each one leave an impression despite their brevity.”
If that’s enticed you to pick up the game, it’s currently on offer on Xbox for just £1.19, or $1.49 in the US.
In fact, it’s also on offer on Steam for £1.27 - with the game’s Overwhelmingly Positive reviews justifying just why you need to give this one a go.
There’s a free demo on that platform should you be uncertain.
There’s more. The Last Campfire is also on sale on Nintendo Switch, and will set you back just £1.34 until 16 September.
Unfortunately, it’s not on sale on PlayStation at the time of writing.
Still, it’s widely available on many other platforms - and clocking in at around five to six hours, this may be the perfect bite-sized game to try this week.
