Cairn

5 months, 1 week - Cairn reviewed by Will Borger on PlayStation 5, also available on Xbox Series X|S and PC."Cairn would mean nothing without the journey, without the climb. Each time I was close to the top, I discovered the peak was farther off. And each time, I would tape up Aava’s hands, cook whatever I had, and keep going. I knew what she could handle, what she needed, where I could take my chances. My reward was always something wondrous, and by the end I was as attuned to Aava’s body as my own. But what I’ll remember is the story of the mountain and the people on it. I’ll remember the climb. I’ll remember Aava. Kami asks Aava two questions: “Who are you? Why are you here?” Her answers are simple: “I’m a climber. I came here to live.” And through her, so could I."

6 months - After several hours playing through an exclusive, hands-on demo of Cairn, the upcoming climbing-survival sim, we were riveted. Our time on the mountain was filled with arduous climbs punctuated with periods of quiet reflection, life-or-death battles against the elements, and a combined sense of victory and wonder as we reached higher and higher.
