Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition

5/5 — Um jogo sobre aprender a dizer adeus Ao mesmo tempo que esse jogo trás um quentinho ao meu coração, ele aperta um pouco também. Gráfico 2D lindo e muito cativante. Tramas incrivelmente profundas de fazer homem adulto chorar. Uma reflexão sobre a vida e uma lição sobre como dizer adeus... Jogo maravilhoso.

好玩

Pretty and heartwarming

Увлекательное путешествие с множеством разнообразных персонажей. Сюжет позволяет отвлечься и погрузиться в истории, некоторые из которых западают в душу. Приятная рисовка и удобный геймплей

我有很多朋友在里面陪着我！(^v^)

To sum it up in a sentence, very well animated. Spiritfarer is a time management game, a genre I've been looking for ever since I've played Persona. However, it is also a collectathon. These two elements are very at odds with eachother, making it so the pacing is all over the place. The opening is slow and coated in a sickly sweet atmosphere, probably what put me off playing it in the first place. Fully completing the first spirit's arc takes about five hours. The next major plot point is at 4 spirits, taking you roughly to 15 hours. Then I did the last 4 in the span of 5 hours, given, with a guide. The pacing being all over the place is partly attributed to how quickly you go from 1 to 3 spirits, but at least there's a lot of fun personalities on board. The writers managed to squeeze a lot of personality out of a couple interactions and animations, and I've liked nearly every character I met on my playthrough. There were 2 that were a bit too similar, kinda impacting the effectiveness of their arc, and Atul (despite being a bro) hangs around for way too long, but he was the only one I missed so maybe that was intentional. Atul's unwillingness to leave was likely due to how spaced apart the resources and minigames were. For the most part, I enjoyed the minigames, though towards the end they became a bit of a slog. The forging minigame was boring, and I did not find it funny how the bull spirit psyches you out for his questline. Altogether though, I consider the writing great. The ending asking whether or not you will find the rest of the spirits is lame though, doesn't feel like a "final encounter" at all. Nevertheless, the music, animation, writing and gameplay loop were hella fun so I probably will at some point in the future. I would advise using a guide when you get stuck if you do end up buying this, there are a lot of invisible questlines for required items/spirits that take way too long to find out.
