    Herdling is not the game to convert those averse to walking simulators: It can drag, and has a confusing control setup. But it is also beautiful, heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measures, and that’s all done without a single word spoken.

    Swiss studio Okomotive once again demonstrates its talent for narrative experiences focused on nature and introspection. However, far from being just a mere contemplative adventure, Herdling offers clever puzzles and sequences that are every now and then intense. If the goal of video games is also to take us on a journey without leaving the comfort of our sofa, this title succeeds with flying colours.
