    Ultimately, the vestiges of Talma’s farm aren’t tragic. Rather, they’re totems that affirm her inner journey, her desire to live a life in isolation as sincerely as possible.

    Memory of God has created a poignant experience featuring a character type that is rarely explored in the medium. The game’s esoteric story and tedious mechanics might look bad on the surface, but they contribute effectively to the game’s unique tone – and the ending is sure to be something you’ll remember for a long time.

Yes, it can be beautiful, charming and relaxing. But the farming mechanics get quite boring after 1h. The game is also short (3h max) and sadly repetitive.

    There is some things that are not explained and that gets you confused and not necessarily enthousiast to try new things. The narrative is good and you can get stimulated to know more about the story, but the rest of the game really doesn't help you get through it. Finally, on the switch version the font is just SO small that I had to play closer to the TV to be sure that I'd be able to read what was written. I don't get how this was left out during the port.
