    Very fun arcade style fire fighting game! Picking it up on sale is a must, its not worth its full price tag, but for a couple quid its good. I played a few hours of this. First of all, it really scratches the itch for a firefighting type game - most I find are dull simulators, or games where firefighting is quite bland and the premise is taken way too seriously - which becomes tedious after a short period. With …

    fun game to play with friends, not too too difficult or long to complete either imo, if you care about completion. game has some evil canadians or something. which i think is accurate, based on my limited experience with canadians, so i would say the game has some realism as well. (no offense intended to non-evil canadians, if you guys even exist)

    Embr is a fun, chaotic party-style game that shines when played with friends. It starts off simple but gradually layers in new mechanics and hazards that shift how you approach each mission. We found ourselves naturally developing roles, like assigning someone as the designated rescue expert or choosing gear to counter specific dangers like electricity. The core gameplay can feel repetitive after a while, but the …

    I love this game. It has its quirks and sometimes even easy stuff feels pretty hard, but I was able to get my friends to get this on Xbox and play as well as a few others on Steam, so we always have a pretty fun and funny experience playing this. I hope to see this game grow because I think it really hits the appealing graphics and fun gameplay itch I need here and there. Chaotic and fun- nice!

    Embr is a mixed bag for me. Mechanics-wise, it’s quite good. The game controls are a bit stiff at times, but the basic systems work as expected. The problem is in the design. The game feels like it can’t decide what it wants to be. At first, it’s a fire rescue simulator, but then it slowly shifts to levels that are more about memorising layouts than actually using the tools you’re given and quick problem solving, like saving civilians with a slide, timing a trampoline, or managing water. And…

    The fun this game provides will certainly be determined with the people you play it with. Fun game with a neat concept with some extra to provide more challenges. In short, not a bad game, not a great game. Little more than okay.  Embr is an Indie firefighting game with pretty decent gameplay. Players are (primarily) tasked to save civilians while a house, apartment, or some sort of building is on fire. Fire in the buildings cannot be fully extinguished; I'm assuming this is by design to get…

    You know, my grandfather was a firefighter, and as a child, after hearing so many stories about my grandfather from my father, I wanted to become one myself. But at one point, I got too carried away playing and got a third-degree burn on my leg. After that, my father strictly forbade me from becoming a firefighter, saying I'd get myself and others killed. This game gives me the opportunity to feel like a firefighter.

    I believe this game is really fun, don't get me wrong it does have its flaws and is still a bit buggy, but not enough to a point where its unplayable, however if you expect to play the multiplayer part of this game, make sure you bring some friends, because no one plays public multiplayer on this no more.

    Tossing people out of a building and shooting at fire with guns. Very underrated in my opinion. Multiplayer is dead unless you have a squad of friends. Can be played greatly alone though if you want to. 4 burnt corpses out of 5.

    If you want to play for less than two hours with friends and then refund it, that’s what I’d recommend... but not more than that. Customers and items glitch out. The District 2 boss bugs out very easily and starts blowing wind while sending barrels infinitely, which breaks the barrels and spawns more barrels in return, over and over again… But I still want to say thanks to the people who shared redeem codes that can be reused infinitely. It saved me from a long and stupid grind of at least…

    Embr, developed by Muse Games and published by Curve Games, takes the serious and often heroic concept of firefighting and transforms it into a zany, fast-paced cooperative experience that thrives on chaos, improvisation, and humor. It’s a game that replaces solemn realism with slapstick physics, turning fire emergencies into comedic playgrounds for up to four players. Set in a near-future world where corporate privatization has extended even to emergency services, Embr casts you as a freelance…

    Basic concept is pretty fun running around putting out fires, but I have a few issues that make me not really want to play more. 1) A LOT of repetition. All the special missions are on the exact same level with nothing really changed except potentially the locations of the people. If I wanted to grind I'd rather play an RPG where it feels like I'm getting more out of it. 2) Difficulty. I don't think I would have a strong opinion if there wasn't a difficulty option, but when I pick hard…
