Cairn is more than a remarkably gripping mountain-climbing game. It's also a deeply affecting narrative of anguish, loss, and the steep cost of obsession.
The season's focus on a family and what it means in this dark world is intriguing, but it is also brought down by recycled plot lines and inconsistent writing.

This competent shooter sews together a few VR thrills and benefits from the Aim controller, but the linear design feels dated by comparison to contemporary shooters.
