About this entry
A defining entry in the Top 100 Games. Sitting at number 26, Embers earned its place through a combination of craft, context, and consensus among the twenty-four editors who maintain this list. The companions immediately above and below it on this ranking are worth reading in the same sitting. The editors’ note placed it here on the basis of three criteria: durability across re-reads (or re-watches, or re-plays), influence on the entries that came after it, and the degree to which it could only have been made by the person — or team — who made it.
In the comparative table maintained by the Games desk, Embers sits within a band of 23 – 29 that contains some of the most contested swaps of the year. Editors vote with arguments; a swap requires three editors and one written defense.
From Wikipedia
Ember is an isometric role-playing game developed by N-Fusion Interactive and published by 505 Games. The game was released on iOS and Windows. Ember was inspired by the 1992 video game Ultima VII: The Black Gate and has received pre-release comparisons to the Ultima series and to Baldur's Gate. The game was initially meant to release in 2014 and 2015, but was pushed back in order to expand the game.
