    Spiritfarer is a nice looking, but mostly dull, resource management game that tries to integrate a unique setting with base-building mechanics. Its characters don't get enough development time for you to care for them, while they demand material comforts. The glacial pacing and repetitive gameplay make this an experience that only a select few will enjoy.

    It's probably even a home run if it manages to get to you emotionally, but I'm ashamed to admit I started clicking through most of the (well written!) dialogue, because it was just too tedious to read. Instead of getting emotional about the characters, my focus was on the addictive farming and upgrading that the game constantly pushed me into. And there was a lot of waiting! Waiting for animations to finish, for my character to sleep, for processes to complete, for characters stories to conclude.

    The art style is obviously super pretty, but I feel like it is exactly that; "obviously pretty". Having a dedicated "hug-button" on your controller says it all.

    At times, the game did a phenomenal job making me analyze metaphors, and I did enjoy that. And it's a certainly a cool take on the river Styx. And it's certainly a cozy video game. And I certainly was addicted to it. My greatest issue was feeling frustrated and stressed, when I wanted to be contemplative.    … Full Review »

Das Spiel geht schon sehr lange und ist sehr entschleunigend. Man kann aber auch nicht aufhören, wenn man gerade drin ist. Da fahre ich noch hin und dann ist Feierabend, 2h später schippert man immer noch durch die Gegend. Es macht Spaß und hat so seine tollen Momente. Zum Ende hin vllt. etwas viel Text, dass man etwas die Lust verliert, zu lesen - jedenfalls bei mir so. Kann es aber durchgehend empfehlen.… Full Review »
