Very rarely is the solution obvious, even if - at first glance - it looks obvious.Īnd no, there's no hint system. There are arrow-firing totems and tall poles that block your progress and, occasionally, you'll need to slip the box into a racing current to courier it from one side of the map to the other. Sometimes, you'll need to navigate up crumbling stone steps to reach the crackling bonfire up high other times, you might have to construct a crude set of steps with the numerous crates that litter the place. But it's oh-so-much easier said than done. You see, the premise of every level is simple enough: burn the box. The plinky-plonky music even started to grate because it intimated an inner peace that sat at odds with how I was actually feeling. I hated the fact he had to ascend steps backwards when carrying crates because the grid system he walked upon didn't accommodate diagonals. Sure, it's beautiful - well, if voxel art's your thing, I guess (I'll admit that I wasn't keen, but this highly stylised visual signature absolutely works here) - and yes, there's a soothing soundtrack to keep you zen as you stand, perplexed, trying to work out what to do next. Initially, though? Initially, Bonfire Peaks just irritated me. Without a word - without a flicker of emotion - he steps through them. He settled himself down beside every cold, dark campfire and watched as it sparked into life, opening a portal between this place and a puzzling otherworld. It didn't hold him back from jumping into one of those swan pedalo things and just keep on peddlin' - alone, and in the dark - until he pulled up beside a moss-strewn dock at the foot of this mountain. That didn't stop him from getting here, though. I've always had a thing for the mute protagonist - I do so love the stoic, silent type - and he goes a step further: not only never speaking, but never emoting, either, given he doesn't even have eyes. We're never properly introduced, but this nameless, expressionless, yet grimly determined man intrigues me. One man's trash is another's treasure and all that.

Plus a shoebox, perhaps, and what may or may not be a cuddly toy. I think there's a poster or photograph in there? A man in a white hat. It feels important to me, somehow the key to unravelling this mystery. You've no idea the number of times I've zoomed in, peered a little closer, trying to decipher what it is he's burning.

Availability: Out tomorrow on Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC.Does it get easier, do you think? After the second time - the tenth time, the fiftieth time, the hundredth time - does it stop hurting? Do you stop feeling it? Or does every box stuffed into the flames make your heart ache just that little bit more? Bonfire Peaks review It's harder still to imagine how it must feel to keep doing it, over and over and over again. It's hard to imagine what has happened for a man to think there are no options left other than to take a box of his stuff - a box of cherished memories, I think, although we're never formally told - and shove it into a bonfire. Gentle storytelling and challenging puzzles on an island of intrigue.
