Highwater has some good writing and atmosphere, but the light exploration and turn-based battles don't feel particularly engaging.
Highwater is a tactical, turn based RPG about survivors of an environmental apocalypse trying to escape a watery world.
Timo Writes: "You might be able to tell that I'm really conflicted about Highwater. I have no idea if and how I can recommend this game, even at the $20 price point. It's fine, it's inoffensive at worst, but if you don't vibe with its vibe, you won't like it."
Set in a flooded post-apocalyptic world, Highwater is a game with a clear vision of what it wants to be and say.
