    I have no idea why this game is getting good reviews. I’m usually one defending games that are mediocre because there’s usually a redeeming quality or maybe people just didn’t give them a chance. Well I heard awesome things about wandersong...I was going to just buy it in the switch for one of my long trips but just held off and boy am I glad..this game sucks and I hate to say that.

Well I heard awesome things about wandersong...I was going to just buy it in the switch for one of my long trips but just held off and boy am I glad..this game sucks and I hate to say that. I’m really glad Microsoft put it on game pass because they saved me some coin. All you do us go around with a radial bar around you that if you press it in a certain direction the bard sings a note. So the story basically is about saving the planet and only you can sing to maybe stop the catastrophe...I played the first 3 chapters and kept wondering if the game is going to get better..where’s all this awesomeness and mind blowing experience I’ve been hearing about. I went from boring dialog to solving parts dance dance revolution style by pushing my analog stick to match what the enemies or puzzles wanted..snooze fest...maybe I’m just not deep like the neckbeards out there and only games like these make sense to them because did you ever talk to those lads with fedoras...they just go in just as dumb...so yeah..this game gets the masterful 1 out of 10..thanks game pass for saving he money...I just didn’t get this game at all. What’s so good about it… Expand

    Great game if you like slogging through a horrendous story with awful dialogue and boring gameplay mechanics.

    If you’re after a unique experience, Wandersong completely has you covered. The singing mechanic works perfectly, and while it may feel a bit too easy at times, the combination of the visuals, writing, and various gameplay objectives across a generous seven-act structure make for an incredibly compelling platforming experience that you’d do well to check out.

    It's a delight of sight and sound, and more than anything, I hope this isn't the last we'll see of the Bard's endearing brand of heartwarming positivity. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 24]

    Wandersong is a highly recommended title, not only for its original mechanics, but for its soundtrack and the adult themes that it covers.
