Relaxing management game about life
A beautiful hand drawn adventure game where you fix up a boat and take people on your ferry and get to know them before you finally send them off into the afterlife, a nice take on Charon's obol.

Amazing Game, Bad Linux Build
This is an incredibly beautiful and quite honestly heartwarming game. It also feels very well polished. Unfortunately I have to take away one star, because the native linux build crashed my whole pc twice (Using Ubuntu + Gnome). However it works perfectly fine and very smoothly using wine. But all in all defently worth a buy!

An emotional ride with tedious chores
I'm still wiping tears as I write this. I don't think any other game has made me cry like a baby like Spiritfarer has. It is a game about death and acceptance where you lead characters to their final destination. You do this by steering a boat on a curious sea where you can visit about 2-3 dozen islands to meet people, find spirits to help and gather resources. Spiritfarer has a lot of tedious chores that needs to be done in order to advance the game forward and they mostly focuses on either mining metals, harvesting crops and fishing. Certain more exotic things can be collected in various mini-games involving platform jumping and these are basically the only "challenges" that Spiritfarer offers besides the emotional one. The game is sometimes rather vague about where you need to go or what you need to do and I got stuck about 2-3 times. It is a bit curious that a game that is all about the narrative still has trouble conveying what it wants you to do. It's too bad that so much time is dedicated to tedious activities since the game would've been even easier to recommend with better pacing. It still is a gem though.

Pleasantly surprising (and relaxing)
I received this game thanks to a contest a while back where the prize pool contained a large variety of games and I wasn't sure if I'd like it. The art looked decent and the concept was interesting but the seemingly lighthearted themes and the mention of managerial gameplay didn't sound like something I'd enjoy. However, that ended up becoming a non-issue for me. Spiritfarer actually combines light managerial gameplay with elements of adventure games, crafting games and platformers. Tied together by appealing art, a beautiful soundtrack and themes that somehow take both a serious and lighthearted look at death, it creates an experience unlike anything I've ever played. One thing I like about this game's interpretation of death is that it avoids any specific worldview and combines some of the common beliefs about the afterlife. Sure, it may not agree 100% with your personal interpretation of the afterlife (for example, I'm a Christian and it doesn't agree with my view) but it does so in a way that is very respectful, not attempting to target or attack anyone for what they believe. In spite of being a game that tackles a serious and emotionally impactful subject, it manages to remind the player that ultimately, this is just a fictional tale that is meant to convey a message of hope, regardless of one's worldview. I sincerely commend the writers for that. In terms of the gameplay, it's all extremely smooth and well-designed. Movement feels as snappy as a platformer, building on your ship is easy and intuitive, the crafting/managerial aspects are all relaxing. Often, managerial sims can be pretty stressful and involve too much micromanagement which can get old. This game does it in a way that feels very cathartic and relaxing, which works flawlessly with the overall vibe of the game. If you're unsure if you'd enjoy this game, just know that it is SO much more than it appears. It's a truly unique game with very solid developers and it's just a fantastic experience.

busywork
There are some really nice aspects to this game. The characters, exploring new locations, performing new tasks for the first time, playing events for the first time. Unfortunately it's buried under a mountain of crafting busywork.
