Spiritfarer is a game that really touches your soul. The game is about death, but interprets death in a heart-warming and thought-provoking way. This endows the game much uniqueness, but also means the game is not to the liking of everyone. However, the game is worth trying. The players who have not played it may just take the "farewell version" as the starting point of the spirit journey. If you take your time and immerse yourself in the game, you will relish the peculiar experience about death and life.

Spiritfarer has been one of the hardest games for me to review in recent memory. Presenting an incredibly personal journey supported by a sublime graphical style and soundtrack, it's something I can't get out of my head, and yet struggle to explain just how it captivated me. It is a fantastic experience, and one I wholeheartedly recommend.

I didn’t hate or dislike my time with the Spiritfarer at all. There were moments of beauty in there, and in some cases there were such honest depictions of death that you don’t see in many other games. But there was so much more that I wish the game did.

Gorgeous, emotional and heartwarming from start to finish, playing Spiritfarer is like sinking into a nice, cosy duvet. It envelops you, and you won’t want to leave. Its slow and steady pace won’t be for everyone, but for those who want a beautiful game to unwind with, it doesn’t get much better than this.
