Sure I COULD carry on burning myself out, but I could also make what I needed when I needed it and spend the rest of the time just talking to the spirits, watching the scenery and generally just soaking the game in.Īnd speaking to the spirits is where a lot of the fun in Spiritfarer lies. ![]() It was only a good couple of hours when I realised I didn’t need to. I would plant crops, water them, run to the kitchen to cook, fish, run back to the kitchen to cook more stuff, and tend to the garden again, all before reaching my destination. I was constantly on the go for my first few hours in the game. Whereas both the games mentioned earlier want you to build an efficient engine so that you always have an influx of items coming in, Spiritfarer is happy for you to sit back, relax, and do stuff as you need to. Spiritfarer sets itself apart from other games in the “cosy” genre like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing in that there is minimal urgency to do anything. Whether you’re sitting upon your boat fishing, tending to the garden, using the kitchen to make food or building shelters for the various spirits, there is always something to be doing. Your boat is the essential part of the game, and you’ll spend most of your time making changes to it and being upon it. You must explore the map using your boat to find and release the spirits. It’s up to you to pick up lost spirits, care for them and offer them friendship and comfort before releasing them into the afterlife. You play through Spiritfarer as a girl named Stella (and her delightful cat Daffodil, who can be controlled by a friend if playing the game in local co-op) who has just become the ferry master to those who have died. Still, instead of tackling the heavy topic with feelings of sadness and darkness, it does so in a way that feels comforting and assuring, like a hug after a long lonely day. Spiritfarer Farewell Edition is all those things and more.Īt its core, Spiritfarer is a cosy management game about death. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been searching for games I could play in the short few hours of power I get at night thanks to load-shedding that would a) be able to keep me entertained, b) make me feel relaxed and calm and c) make me want to return next time I have power.
