    Herdling is fantastic. It will not be an emotional journey through wonderful environments for everyone but if you can lose yourself in the world and your job to guide these creatures you are in for a treat. The Calicorns are lovely and you will start to care for them. This is all aided by a great soundtrack by composer Joel Schoch and a great look.

    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.

    Herdling may be mechanically simple and slow-paced, with little gameplay evolution, but it still manages to stand out. Guiding a herd of creatures to their destination becomes something unexpectedly emotional, thanks to Okomotive’s beautiful audiovisual storytelling and subtle reflection on the animals we’ve loved in real life. Despite the steep price for the few hours it offers, Herdling earns a place among those rare indies that leave a lasting mark - not through mechanics, but through heart.
