One of the simplest and wonderful games

This is one of those you never uninstall. I'm a psychotherapist, and i never imagined using a game troughout a process (many times, i have to admit) to help a patient. This is a wonderful journey and a delicatessen to enjoy. A modest but more than enough world to explore, very coherent graphic design, one of the sweetest and heartfelt music soundtracks i've heard, and a very intelligent character gallery to implement a very simple but as effective game dynamic as it gets. So i really can't really overemphysize this. You have to try it. At the very least, you'll enjoy a cozy, little more than point n' click game with a cute overall feeling. Buy if you let it take you on the journey, you may find yourself reflecting on your own feelings, the nature of grief, friendship and love, and why not, the meaning of life. So, so recommended!!

Beautiful art about grief and loss.

"Spiritfarer" is very beautiful. The amount of care taken in animation, especially of the main character, would put many games with far more money and manpower put into them to shame. The relatively simple, high-contrast color palette makes everything pop like something from a golden age cartoon, while individual scenes and images bring up wonder, awe, and mystery while making it look effortless. The gameplay is... good. I'm tempted to use words like "acceptable" or "competent", but that's damning with faint praise, and it deserves better than that. There are moments where I feel nothing would have been lost by making a space between jumps a little shorter or requiring a tad less grinding, and a few intuitive leaps I wouldn't have minded a clue about, but... It's hard to explain. The game very much isn't *about* the things you do in jumping, running, harvesting crops and mining ore, so it feels petty to harp on small impatiences with those mechanics. They do fill up a fair amount of your play-time, and they do begin to feel a little like filler by the end. But most of the play-time (mine, anyway), they're just more time to enjoy those lovely animations and settings. This is a game about grief and loss. If you don't remember that, boy howdy, will it hit you before the game is over. Grief and loss being very personal things, I cannot unconditionally recommend the game to everyone, and it's the one big thing keeping me from giving the game that five stars, much as I think the vast majority of people would get something out of it just for artistic beauty. Smaller gripes include one character who is basically seems to be there to import the message "life isn't fair". And for once, I wish the protagonist wasn't mute, to pipe back: "Lady? I don't need you to 'teach' me life isn't fair; I have a LIFE to do that." The lack of individuality in townsfolk, and certain other details, also suggests budget constraints. But I'd care less if what's forefront wasn't so well done.

Mediocre at it best

I own this game on Nintendo Switch. To be honest I do not understand the praise this game get. Even if visually the game can be really nice, gameplay loop is not intuitive and the grind is boring. Gameplay is really linear and the progress is slow and frustrating.

Charming, relaxing, poignant

Considering I don't really jive with management games that often, I actually found it pretty meditative going around the boat tending to various tasks. It helps that this game doesn't push any deadlines on you, unlike most other games where there is risk of irreversible failure, so there wasn't any pressure to rush. In fact, rushing through the game runs antithetical to the experience of bonding with the spirits and unravelling their backgrounds. It did feel a bit like a slog closer to the end though, trying to accumulate the correct resources to acquire the necessary upgrades. Having played several metroidvanias though, I've found the platforming elements manageable. Might be fiddly for complete platformer virgins though. The game did a pretty good job of taking the player through a journey of learning to let go and reconcile, in the face of mortality. Beautiful animation + music carry the setting very strongly, especially since there aren't any voiced lines. (Also if you want to get the artbook, play the game FIRST before looking through the book, because it contains spoilers and actually dives into more explicit character background details)
