    Wanderstop is phenomenal for many reasons, including its characters, world, gameplay, and message of mental health and hygiene. I feel deeply for Alta. I’m not frustrated by her inability to think differently, I empathise with it. Learning new thought patterns requires a lot of hard work for a long time, and the game is Alta’s journey to a new way of looking at life. Wanderstop is touching, sweet, funny, and soothing. Its gameplay is flawless. My only issue with it was a lack of working accessibility options, sometimes causing me pain when I could have been feeling a glowing, happy warmth instead.

    Watching Alta grow and accept her limitations will stick with me and make me reflect on my own inability to turn off and just relax.

    Wanderstop is visually stunning, complete with a great soundtrack and capable of surprising anyone who plays.
