Guess it's finally time to play this one which has been on my Wish List for a while. $4.49 is too good to pass up.
I'm prepared for the deep melancholy I hear about this game

Just got this for free through Netflix games. Played about 2 hours. Interesting so far, and nice design. Plays well on my phone.

A wonderful game which i shall never play again.

I cried like a baby, but the game suffers from its 30 hours.

Je pleure un peu. Je crois qu'il va me falloir quelques jours avant de revenir avec vous sur cette grande expérience du jeu vidéo.

le jeu n'a jamais voulu se lancer via sa version Netflix/Android. C'est dommage. Storyteller avait plutôt bien marché...

Well, I love the characters and their stories but the crafting grindathon is really getting on my nerves. I need to cook fried chicken, so I need to construct a crusher to get oil, so I need to upgrade the ship to access the part of the map with the materials, so I need one more spirit flower, so I …

I need to cook fried chicken, so I need to construct a crusher to get oil, so I need to upgrade the ship to access the part of the map with the materials, so I need one more spirit flower, so I need to liberate one soul, which is what what I needed the fried chicken to begin with.

I feel a bit cheated. Most reviews and commentary on this game is about its emotional impact, story and characters. So when I saw it free on Netflix games I though, sure I'm up for a quiet exploration of grief and loss, let's do it.

I feel a bit cheated. Most reviews and commentary on this game is about its emotional impact, story and characters. So when I saw it free on Netflix games I though, sure I'm up for a quiet exploration of grief and loss, let's do it.
What many reviews fail to mention is that character, story and emotions are at most 20% of the game. The bulk of your time is spent on fetch-quests and minigames to gather and craft resources. All of which I'm most definitely not up for.
That is to say, I see how the game works. All your animal friends are melded into your daily routine so their departure is strongly felt. And the artstyle is fantastic. But the core gameplay loop feels like an absolute chore, especially after you discovered basically everything there's to do and it starts getting monotonous.

I posted a review of Spiritfarer this past week in case anyone might've missed my thoughts on the game, and death itself. One of my better recent writeups, if I'm being honest.

I am so. goddamned. close to being finished with this, but this last stretch is wearing me down. This game is phenomenal, easily one of the best I played this year - or perhaps ever, even - but god it is just too damn long, man. Everything is too damn long now.
