Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition

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!

Worth playing no matter where you are in life; especially so when dealing with death in any capacity. Personally, it aided me in coping and dealing with loss way better than anything else I had tried. It is cathartic and cozy, and, frankly, worth its weight in gold. Just play it, you will not regret it.

A marvelous indie game that will keep you playing for hours. In a sort of “Animal Crossing” on a boat, you will travel across the seas to encounter the “Spirits” and help them along their afterlife journey. The gameplay is based on collecting materials, crafting, building, and cooking. There are also main and side quests to complete. Every action in the game is a different “mini-game,” so crafting won’t be as boring as it might sound. For example, mining is different from wood-chopping, which is different from sewing, etc. And don’t forget about exploring the sea for the next island (it reminds me of One Piece, though…). The main focus of the game is on the Spirits, each of whom has their own story and background. You will get to know them little by little as you learn their culinary tastes, passions, and hobbies. You will become affectionate, make friendships, get emotionally moved, and then cry. Yeah, you will. If not, reconsider. In the end, a real gem of a game. IT’S A MUST!

The game is about building a dream ship for ghosts. Here's the thing: Progression feels like a chore with night cycles. Exploration isn't rewarding at best you're getting certain items. Nothing special. Game could use refinement, for example if you cook food that someone enjoys they could be waiting outside the kitchen telling you how nice it smells. The game is supposed to be a touchy feely kind of journey but the way you get resources and all is a chore and makes it not fun. The navigation system is just boring and you're waiting to get somewhere most of the time or sleeping through the night because there is nothing to be done. For a comfort game it feels like a dull slow chore to me.
