Welcome to our review of Embr, a game previously exclusive to Stadia and PC is now hitting other platforms!
Fight fires for fun and profit in this unpredictable and frantic multiplayer game. Team up with friends, take on daily challenges, and climb to the top of the corporate firefighting ladder. More than one way to become a hero!
Team up with friends to become the most über firefighters money can buy. Rush into burning buildings filled with dangerous hazards, valuables, and top-of-the-line security systems. Fight fires, save lives, salvage goods, and make life-changing money. Buy high-tech tools with advanced upgrades, and fresh outfits that unlock new ways to play. There’s plenty of fire to go around!

Play through 25 unique levels across 3 districts filled with traps, hazards, and escalating danger.
There’s more than one way to be a hero. Break down doors, smash windows, fix electrical circuits, clear gas leaks, evade security systems, and do whatever you can to get the job done and get paid. Earn five-star ratings to attract the attention of wealthy customers. And if you’re short on cash, try snatching a few valuables while the clients aren’t looking.
Create the ultimate private firefighting experience with a range of tools, upgrades, vehicles, and outfits. Leap off tall buildings with the greatest of ease with the fall-damage reducing Dummy Helmet, defy gravity with the patented Double Jump Baseball Cap, slip on a pair of insulated gloves to survive a brush with those pesky electrical hazards, or try any one of the 17 equipment options available.
Embr will keep you coming back for more with new mission types, daily and weekly challenges, and plenty of achievements to hunt. I am actually still undecided how long you can play a game like Embr. Sure, it is fun and nothing beats hitting your instructor with an axe on your day of signing up, but is it really enough to provide a long-lasting experience?
Personally, I think not. The general idea of this game is to basically be a firefighter and do the entire career thing, which feels a lot like other games I played before, but not as comical looking as this. If you remember games like firefighter; those suck in comparison to Embr. At least Embr does not take itself too seriously and that is where the real fun is.
Nothing beats having to rescue someone who is taking a shit, right? Or wacking your instructor with a fire axe? Or getting stuck inside a house on fire in a video game and not finding your way out so you decide to take a dive out a window? If this is what you are looking for, grab the game already.
In conclusion, Embr is a lot of things, but it is not a game for the long run in my humble opinion, good for some giggles and mischief but I doubt it will bring you more than that.
