SEASON is one of those games where the moment-to-moment activity, cycling down a road, taking photos, writing observations in a journal, sounds almost nothing on paper and lands completely in practice. You are documenting a valley before it disappears, which gives even the quietest moments a small weight. The atmosphere score here is the highest on the list, and it earns it. Every environment is composed like a painting. I went in expecting something pleasant and sat with it much longer than I planned. No combat. No resource pressure. Just a world worth paying attention to before it is gone.
