Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition

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!!

This is not my kind of game, so I approached it as "I'll play this when I'm particularlyu tired and can't handle a brain-intensive game". It worked perfectly. The amazing graphics of the game, coupled with the interesting upgrade system, without being hard and with the interesting plot, makes for a game that doesn't expect your full attention but it's also engaging. This ensure you keep playing it and at the same time ensures I don't want to rush it, so I still have my "relax time" when needed.

The only game I've ever experienced as connecting with my soul as deeply as Spiritfarer was Journey. This being a single-player game (albeit with local co-op added recently, which I haven't been able to test) makes it quite different, but the heart at its core is about connection. The same applied to Journey. I am not writing a novel type review here. It suffices to say that if you like 2D-platforming, want to hug and support quirky friends, feel a sense of loss and accomplishment, and just bask in some wonderous ambience this is a game for you. Adding a level of coziness hard to find in many games makes this a gem among gems for me, I first tried it a couple of years ago and knew then that I would have to buy it someday. It helped keep my heart in place and recover during some rough days, and that alone made this a purchase I knew I would make one day. That day has arrived, and I'm just incredibly grateful to the developers.

One of the sweetest games I've ever played. Music, gameplay, and art are all lovely.

This game is super chill and fun, and made me tear up, Beautiful!
