GAMES
FIRST PLAY CAIRN PC
[ Words Alan Wen ]
From
Breath of the Wild
to
Jusant
, gaming has a bit of an obsession with climbing. But whereas most of these games tend to have rather lenient stamina-based mechanics – and Jusant focused on the chill and meditative qualities of scaling tall structures – Cairn is the opposite. Don’t be fooled by its cel-shaded palette and deceptively simple inputs: this might well be the Dark Souls of alpine climbing games.
