"Embr is fun when it focuses on fighting fires and rescuing people, but there are too many gimmicks and unnecessary additional ingredients thrown into this pot. There&s;s enjoyment to be had, but it could have been a lot more compelling …"

"Embr is a good game, on PC. The console port for Xbox, even on a Series X, isn’t up to snuff. I would keep an eye on this though in case it ever gets a performance-enhancing patch, as the core …"

Read original review"Embr isn’t a must-play in my opinion but if you want to see what it’s like to bust into burning buildings and toss people from rooftops to save them then it can be worth checking out. The game is perfectly …"

"What starts as a quirky, colorful firefighting romp quickly reveals itself to be repetitive, clumsy, and far more fun in concept than execution. With friends online it can offer brief chaotic fun, but solo play fizzles out fast"
