Spiritfarer Reviews
A beautiful experience, filled with varied and engaging content, wrapped in gorgeous art and music, and populated with memorable characters and moments that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Spiritfarer wants to convey that, yes, life is beautiful, but death is not the end. Spiritfarer creatively embodies this message in its fun gameplay and moving story that’s more than worth your time.
Spiritfarer is a positive look at death as all the characters make peace with both their life and death in their own time The characters are charming, all have depth with stories to tell. While some mini-games may feel tedious the more you do them, there are plenty of other tasks in the game to balance this out. Playing Spiritfarer at this particular time in the mad and crazy world we live in is something everyone should do. As well as being entertaining and enjoyable to play Spiritfarer is hopeful, comforting, and positive and certainly big on delivering the ”feels”!
Spiritfarer is a game where death is treated differently than in many other games, which makes this game unique. We’ve been killing people and things in video games for so long, that we’ve stopped to wonder what actually happens after that. In Spiritfarer we learn this, in a colourful and happy world which invites you to be the best Spiritfarer in history. Who wouldn’t want to leave this world with one of those precious hugs from Stella? One thing is guaranteed. You’ll learn to say goodbye.
Spiritfarer stands out as a real breath of fresh air arriving at the right time, after big video game releases at the start of the year (The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima etc) and those still to come with the next-gen. Its varied gameplay makes the experience interesting.. Its artistic direction and soundtrack give a relaxing and pleasant touch to the game, while its main subject is touching, even sad. Thunder Lotus manages to offer a relatively difficult speech with accuracy and brilliance

Perhaps the best thing of all is how Spiritfarer builds, grows, and ends.
A beautiful story in a beautiful world. It's simple, but has lots of feeling and imagination to it, and it's full of memorable moments. On the other hand, it can feel a bit of a chore at times, and drags on for a bit too long.

Spiritfarer has the body of a seafaring exploration game, the mind of a management sim, and the soul of an emotional journey depicting love, loss, and grief. With gorgeous visuals and a soundtrack to match, Spiritfarer is pleasing to the senses while providing a core loop that’s easy to get lost in.
Spiritfarer is an amazing management indie game to relax to, all while helping players deal, cope, and reflect on death. The game’s colors are awe-inspiring and the soundtrack immediately puts you at ease. Despite the game’s heavy theme of dealing with death, Spiritfarer is a wonderful game.
Spiritfarer is a game about collecting a ton of resources at a frantic pace and exploring a vast map solving quests, but likewise it is also a beautiful bittersweet tale about life and death. The games explore themes like love, affection, goodbyes, pains, insecurities and new beginnings in a way that we don't see much in the world of video games. Best of all, this beautiful story takes place within a legitimately innovative, fun and well-made game. Do not waste time, Spiritfarer is one of the best games of the year for Switch.

Spiritfarer is a unique title within its style, if we could include it in a category that is not simply “indie”, since it covers so many fields, it should own its unique section. With a 30 to 40 hours long duration, it's a game you will really love as it's mechanics are far from being repetitive.
