If you took Uber and fused it with firefighting, you\u2019d get EMBR. That\u2019s basically the premise of the game here, with random schmucks taking up the mantle of firefighting but on call in a world completely overrun with phone-obsessed un-phased people. Your job is to rescue people from the fires that will try and take down different places, and along with spraying water on the fires, you\u2019ll often need to carry or throw your clients to safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also get to do things like try and find piles of money or valuables and take those as a tip, because you work hard and you deserve it. As you run through the levels, you unlock new tools and abilities, and the obstacles you\u2019ll be facing get more complicated too. EMBR does a great job of balancing the innate absurdity of the premise with a scathing look at capitalism and a very fun gameplay loop to make for a really entertaining game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fighting fires should be a terrifying affair, but you\u2019ll end up worrying more about whether or not you can line up the people you\u2019re trying to rescue with the crash mat below, or whether or not you\u2019ve found all of the valuables you deserve. Plus, and this is a big thing, EMBR also has co-op. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
