➕Beautiful and fantastic components. There's a reason why the game is priced so high. ➕Lots of puzzles. There is a large amount of puzzling to be had within this game, with many of them being varied in all sorts of ways. ➕Good signposting. They're obvious enough that you won't mistake it as fluff but subtle enough that it does not straight up give you the answer. ➕Decent hint & solutions sytem. Multiple hints are given for each puzzle. My only criticism would be the method of revealing the hints are rather outdated. ➖Cursive handwritting. While it adds to the immersion, it does make it more difficult to read what the letters are saying. ✖️A bit too difficult for me. Some of the puzzles went over my head, requiring me to head to the hints section a tad too often. I would recommend playing with at least 2 players to avoid this issue. Emerald Flame is a really well made game. While it leans heavily into the puzzly side compared to its story and theme, it does have some beautiful and thought provoking puzzles.
