Profound, beautiful, meaningful
This game is a stunningly beautiful, meditative, moving experience with masterful storytelling and "real" characters with unique personalities and compelling narrative arcs. I wept, feeling a real sense of loss as each was guided off the ship. At the end, I sat for some time, unable to “let go” of the experience. (I suspect a “vintage” gamer like me will likely experience the game differently than a much younger player). Spirit Farer is an "open world" management game but with a semi-linear plotline and a definitive end. Most people will end up encountering game play in roughly the same order and, in fact, deviating from that order can cause some problems especially with pacing near the end. Some game sections may prove challenging for non-platform gamers (like me). I clocked in at 90 game hours (more than most). My advice? Don't rush, and interact with all the NPC "spirits", but mostly relax and be transported, rather than play to finish. Some minor faults: gameplay can be tedious and the pacing awkward depending on the order that you encounter the spirits. The last ¼ of the game dragged on as most of the frenzy of activity took place in the first part of the game. Many of the actions became repetitive.Important note: I almost missed a vital character because I wasn't in the habit of fishing regularly, or buying things from Francis. (Don’t want to say too much more because of spoilers). Also, pacing varies greatly depending on the order you encounter and transport the characters, which can leave long sections of the game where nothing happens. Mainly, however, the most major criticism is that the game dragged in places, especially at the end where I had little to do while waiting for the next progression of the story. Still, these criticisms are minor, and unimportant. If you love cozy management games, beautiful animation and meaningful storylines, You won’t regret your purchase.
