This game is ideal for experienced survival game players, as the survival mechanics are genuinely challenging. This means that different play-throughs can offer unique experiences, and that players will unlock different parts of the story at differing paces. Something I found particularly interesting about this game is that the world is procedurally generated. You play as Scout, who is traversing the waters with her companion dog Daisy in order to find a radio tower to boost a weak radio transmission. The general premise of this game is that you’re on a raft, going down a tumultuous river in a sunken, dystopian future. It’s satisfying to play through, if a little repetitive in places, and has an intriguing art style that keeps it visually engaging.

The Flame in the Flood is a stellar example of a gritty, challenging survival game for the Switch.
