Pine

You play as Hue, a young human searching Albamare for a new home for his tribe. In this world, humans are not at the top of the food chain: intelligent animal species form their own communities across six biomes.

Explore the open world, talk and barter with its inhabitants, gather resources, and take on tasks for animal factions. You can build relationships, fight alongside a species, or disrupt its settlements and supplies.

The island's species compete and form alliances even without your involvement, and your actions can affect their relationships and movement. Gather materials and blueprints to craft equipment, while finding tools and solving puzzles to progress through the world.

The supplied reviews are divided, but players who enjoy Pine often point to its unusual world of intelligent animal factions, its atmosphere and music, and the appeal of exploring and following its survival story. Some also enjoy the faction interactions and puzzles. Critical reviews frequently cite awkward combat and controls, bugs that can block progress, and repetitive resource gathering.
