May 22, 2026"Navigate toward the light when you don't know where to go." And this sentence probably describes in a coherent way the experience we lived: a voyage across the northern seas to accomplish a daring, courageous mission that shows just how strong a father's love can be. Will: Follow The Light, despite occasionally uneven pacing, puts an interesting story on the table, enriched by the solving of various puzzles and seafaring navigation that will make the player fall in love. A shame about some overly rigid sequences and gameplay mechanics that perhaps feel anchored to a previous generation. That said, our recommendation is to give the emotional waves of Will: Follow The Light a chance and let yourself be carried away by the mysteries this voyage brings with it.

May 25, 2026WILL: Follow the Light is an imperfect game, frustrating at times and clearly limited in certain technical aspects. Its puzzles can disrupt the flow, the narrative structure is uneven, and some mechanics are clunky and tedious. But it’s also an emotional and surprisingly bold game, with moments—particularly the navigation sequences—that are exceptionally well-crafted. Beneath all its mechanical clumsiness lies a powerful story—one that can be completed in about 6 hours—about fatherhood, regret, and the fear of losing what we love most.

May 29, 2026Ultimately, Will: Follow the Light has good ideas and great puzzles, but suffers from pacing issues, unrewarding exploration, and a structure that makes much of the experience more tedious than engaging.

Jun 9, 2026Utterly tiresome, with puzzles that are either simplistic or needlessly convoluted and often drag on for far too long, WILL: Follow the Light falls short in its gameplay. Worst of all, for a title that positions itself as a narrative-driven experience, its story lacks any real impact due to mediocre voice acting, unnatural dialogue, and paper-thin characterization.
