Pine is an open-world action adventure simulation game from Twirlbound. The game is set on the island of Albamare, home to five different tribes of anthropomorphic animals. Humans havenā€™t been seen among them for generations, until your character, Hue, tumbles down from the cliffs following a tremor. Though you are unscathed, your tribe is in dire need of a new place to live. You set out to learn about the land and the ever-changing relationships between its denizens.

Even with a pre-release patch to address some issues, thereā€™s a lot still to improve upon here, but overall I enjoyed Pine and its story. I would love to see its simulation gameplay go deeper. The game is $24.99 on PC now, and the Nintendo Switch version should be available in a few weeks.
