Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition

This is both a very, very well designed exploration, crafting, management, relaxing kind of game in a similar world to Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, it is also a beautiful work of storytelling art. It avoids a lot of the pitfalls a lot of these kinds of touchy feely indie games do by telling its story primarily through its gameplay, and has actually very good gameplay.. If this doesn't look interesting to you, I don't know what I could say that might make it, but if you are even a little bit interested in this game, trust me, you will love it. This game is worth every penny. Note: I got the game on steam, which is why I am not a verified owner, but want to start writing reviews for games I like, which is why I'm here.

Spiritfarer is a fairly original game, it's a resource management/farming/mining/cooking/etc game, and an exploration platforming game, then you have spirits you bring aboard, which have requests to fulfill, and stories to tell, as well as the fuzzy wuzzy hugs to share. It's like someone took some Harvest Moon, added a helping of Wind Waker's (or more specifically, Phantom Hourglass's) sailing and island exploration, and then a dash of Metroidvania platforming and powerup fetching. The powers are almost entirely movement based, and there isn't combat in this game, unless you count wrestling with OP tuna. Also maybe a sprig of Pyre in a way. The art and animation are fantastic, buttery smooth. Very vibrant and pretty, speaking of... One time, the cat helper, Daffodil, was in a glitch singularity, her animation was stiff, 1 frame of animation depending on which way she was facing, then her, and also a few spirits at times would get stuck in a navigation error loop, where they would rapidly dart left/right or up/down a ladder. Then there would be 2 Daffodils during certain animations, like sleeping. I then exorcised the glitch demon out of Daffodil by hugging her, and... no joke, that fixed it when nothing else would, even saving/quitting. It's a feature. My few gripes with the game are, other than the occasional tedium these types of games have at times, are that the game tends to give you station upgrades waaaaaay past the point of you even needing them anymore. Then again, that could just be depending on your route, I at least got the foundry upgrade early on, which was very useful. Another thing is, that Bruce and Mickey tend to just randomly move when you're talking to them, happened way too many times and gave me S.T.A.L.K.E.R. flashbacks of the same thing happening with random NPCs when you try to talk to them. Do yourself a favor, and let these two starve if this happens and annoys you even a little. They're jerks anyway. Neato game overall.

This is one of the best and loveliest animated games, I ever saw. Every possible motion is animated in such a great way. The characters feel real and the story is so touching. You don't have a single boring moment.

Just it... Ypu should try it.

Anti-stress masterpiece.
