Pine has a lot of interesting systems and mechanics, but those individual pieces do not add up to a completely satisfying whole. While there is fun to be had with Pine's interesting exploration, many of the mechanics feel disjointed, with too much reliance on the game's collection-based economy. While Pine was clearly made with a lot of love, every good feature in is balanced by a mechanic that doesn't feel so great.

The execution is as boring as everything else Pine has to offer. It's a shame that the (mostly) finished product doesn't come anywhere close to living up to the incredible potential displayed by the trailer, because that game could have been great.
