May 7, 2026WILL: Follow the Light, without the few negative hiccups I noted, is a 10 out of 10 game. But as it stands right now, the few nits that exist within the game pull away from that score slightly - but only slightly. That being said though, if these updates and needed fixes are made, I can easily see this being a can’t-miss game. The beautiful, yet heart-wrenching story, coupled with the intriguing puzzles and environment of the game itself make for an unforgettable digital experience.

May 7, 2026Will: Follow the Light is far more than just an ordinary walking simulator; it’s an adventure that draws you in with its mysterious, heartfelt, and immersive story. Setting aside the occasional technical glitches that can be frustrating and moments when the game leaves you without a clue, this is a labor of love that fans of the adventure genre—or rather, those who want to lose themselves in a strong story and world-building—should definitely play. Ah, if only it had been polished a bit more.

May 14, 2026WILL: Follow the Light tells a simple story of a man trying to look for his son after a massive storm, and along the way, has to confront the mysteries of his own life. The intimate nature of the core premise is compelling enough to carry this walking simulator throughout its entire runtime.

May 13, 2026WILL: Follow The Light is yet another walking simulator that offers an interesting mechanic of controlling a yacht and a dog sled. However, the authors completely failed in terms of the story and world exploration.

May 8, 2026Will: Follow the Light is a frustrating experience because the foundation for something memorable is clearly there. Beneath the repetitive puzzle design, uneven writing, and technical frustrations lies a genuinely interesting premise supported by immersive sailing mechanics and strong atmospheric audio. There are moments where the game briefly captures the emotional and cinematic adventure it wants to be, but it struggles to sustain that momentum for long before falling back into its more exhausting habits. For some players, those stronger moments may still be enough to carry the journey through to the end. For others, the game’s shortcomings will likely overshadow the experience long before Will reaches the light.

May 10, 2026WILL: Follow the Light offers a few glimmers of promise amidst its fog of missed potential, but they are too few and far between to recommend. Stiff delivery, rough writing and uneven puzzles all would have been better served by being thrown overboard so WILL could focus on its atmospheric sailing strengths. Instead, WILL is better left adrift at sea with only its lost promise to keep it company.
