90% done with Spiritfarer according to my save file. Gonna be a real downer to be done with this one.

God I hope I get the "Stoked" achievement. I'm certain I've gotten everyone thus far to ecstatic mood at least once, and will continue to do so, but still, there's no way to really know for sure it'll unlock until I get to that point in the game. I just hope I did it right, cause I don't think I …

I just hope I did it right, cause I don't think I could play this again.

I love the story and some of the characters, but the management aspects are imbalanced in a way that really hurts enjoyment of the game, and in general it has some pretty rough edges here and there. For instance, there was one quest to find a character who had disappeared, which I did... only it wasn't the location in which …

I love the story and some of the characters, but the management aspects are imbalanced in a way that really hurts enjoyment of the game, and in general it has some pretty rough edges here and there. For instance, there was one quest to find a character who had disappeared, which I did... only it wasn't the location in which the game WANTED me to find that character, so the game just kind of pretended it didn't happen. Not great.

This game is great and everything, but...

...I think it's actually bad for my mental health. It's making the idea of the afterlife seem appealing, and as someone who has attempted to die multiple times and struggles with seeing the point in continuing to live, that's not exactly a great place to be, psychologically for me.

I love it, I do. It's excellent, and I don't wanna stop playing it, but it's making me wish I had succeeded and that's dangerous.

If I have one negative thing to say about this game, and it's such a minor annoyance it barely registers, it's that at some point you get the ability to create waypoints so you can set multiple destinations and your ship will just go without much navigation. HOWEVER, this doesn't work well, because apparently if you're just inside a building …

If I have one negative thing to say about this game, and it's such a minor annoyance it barely registers, it's that at some point you get the ability to create waypoints so you can set multiple destinations and your ship will just go without much navigation. HOWEVER, this doesn't work well, because apparently if you're just inside a building or w/e on your ship - be it a kitchen, sawmill, etc - the ship will just go right past your destination and onto the next one. Annoying, but not at all game ruining. Just annoying lol

So, once a spirit leaves my boat, can I still do their minigame? Because for Gwen and Alice respectively, their minigames are directly linked to things I need for building and crafting and buying things.

I started this up and then proceeded the play it for 5 hours straight wishing I could stay up later to keep playing, so yeah, money well spent. Thunder Lotus finally validated their existence.

I have a pretty bad track record with Thunder Lotus, so I was very hesitant to try this, despite my absolute obsession with its concept and art style, but I'm happy to report that thus far it's really really great. I have always loved the look of their games, even if I hated them outright. Jotun is very pretty if boring, and Sundered is beautiful if impossible to figure out what to do and where to go, but this one is very straight forward and I can get behind that. Also it's just so darn cute. Glad I docked what was left of my budget for it.

Against my better judgement and budget, I went ahead and got this while it's on sale. It better not disappoint like their other games.

Finished this up tonight. It was a good game, but I'm ready to move on.

I'm usually not a fan of "life simulators", but this one was better than most.

And the lessons on living life to the fullest and accepting death were quite powerful.

Down to the last five spirits (Buck, Stanley, Jackie, Daria, Lily).

I'm feeling like I'm almost at the end, so I'll probably power through, even though my interest is really starting to drag.

If they cut off about an hour from the game play, maybe two, this would be a fantastic game, but as it stands, it's a very good …

My interest in this game is waning big time.

I'm at 70% complete, but at this point, all the spirits I liked have all been sent to the Everdoor. Now I'm stuck with these bossy jerks who want ridiculous things like 100 carrots. WTF?

And sure, my boat can now go everywhere at all hours, but going back and forth …

And sure, my boat can now go everywhere at all hours, but going back and forth on these quests is getting tiresome.

I've pretty much ignored keeping my guests "happy" just so I can finish this game. It's dragging on too long at this point.

I'll probably give it until the end of this weekend, and I might put it down for good.

I'm still enjoying this game, but there are WAY too many things they ask you to do. I've also realized you don't need to feed your spirits. I thought you did, but now I don't anymore (unless it's tied to a request) and they stop asking after a while. I think shortening the experience and not having so many things …

I think shortening the experience and not having so many things to do would make this an even better game.
