Sheepherds! Reviews
Sheepherds feels most clearly directed towards families, but certainly not exclusively so. Between the cooperative nature of the game and its general lack of artificial urgency, I personally found Sheepherds perfect for playing with my significant other. I see no reason why a full group of friends couldn’t have a good time too, whether gathered around a couch or online. If you think that party games feel too active, and cozy games feel too passive, then Sheepherds will feel just right.
Sheepherds! is a wonderfully positive co-op experience that embraces calmness without ever becoming dull. It’s easy to pick up, rewarding to master, and full of gentle humour, whether you’re playing with one friend or a whole group. I spent hours herding across colourful fields and came away smiling every time. This is a game that understands the joy of playing at your own pace, and the joy of playing together. If you’re after something cosy, family-friendly, and sprinkled with just enough challenge for the perfectionists, Sheepherds! is absolutely worth checking out.
