Pine is an open world action adventure game developed for PCs. While playing, we try to survive on a mysterious island, full of predators and intelligent races, whose behavior is controlled by advanced modules of artificial intelligence, capable of causing major changes in the whole ecosystem.
Pine, released on PC and iOS, is an action-adventure game. The project was developed by Twirlbound studio and released by Square Enix Collective.
The action takes place on Albamare island. The level of development of the in-game civilization is reminiscent of the Stone Age. People have never climbed the top of the food chain because of the presence of several other intelligent species, most of which boast greater strength and more impressive size.
We play as a young man who is a member of one of the last human tribes. His people stand on the brink of extinction and it is up to us to find a new home for our brothers and sisters.
The action in Pine is observed from the third-person perspective. While playing, we explore the open world, collect items, complete platforming challenges and, most importantly, fight.
As one of the weakest predators, the hero is often forced to rely on his cleverness and stealth. Open confrontations, however, don't mean suicide. Players can perform various attacks, combos, and dodges. We can also use bows. Interestingly, enemies can learn our tactics and increase their chances in clashes with us, e.g. by testing new methods or strengthening their physical attributes.
The foundation of the game in Pine is a dynamic world. The island lives its own life - all characters, animals, and tribes are controlled by advanced Artificial Intelligence modules that can make important decisions even in the absence of the player. The authors based this aspect of the game on dynamic simulation and modern knowledge about the functioning of ecosystems and their evolution, where each creature does what it can to survive and strengthen the position of its species. This often leads to major changes in the balance of power on the island, which affects the course of the game.
The island itself is full of secrets and their discovery not only allows us to get to know the history of this place but also provides us with access to many useful items. For example, finding a lighter allows you to use the fire to deter or attack enemies.

Pure Dead Gaming: 3 / 5
Pine offers a very unique simulation sandbox that can be fun to play around in. Unfortunately, a number of issues plague the experience, so budding adventurers should keep their expectations in check.
Killa Penguin: 6 / 10 by Jake Arias
It’s safe to say that Pine makes a good first impression. I found myself charmed by its Breath of the Wild-style exploration and intrigued at the underlying systems that appeared poised for complex faction dynamics, and that’s saying nothing of the quality visuals and music. Those first several hours I spent with Pine promised a truly fantastic open-world experience. Unfortunately, the developers appear to have become sidetracked trying to hew to the puzzle-action formula of traditional Zelda titles, and that has the unfortunate side effect of highlighting Pine‘s worst elements.
Gaming Nexus: 6.5 / 10 by Eric Hauter
Pine has a lot of interesting systems and mechanics, but those individual pieces do not add up to a completely satisfying whole. While there is fun to be had with Pine's interesting exploration, many of the mechanics feel disjointed, with too much reliance on the game's collection-based economy. While Pine was clearly made with a lot of love, every good feature in is balanced by a mechanic that doesn't feel so great.
