Wandersong

Juego muy entretenido y precioso con una banda sonora increíble.

good story and paper-ish art styel

Bugged mess. Controller also doesnt work properly in this game.

Genuinely incredible. Wonderful art, story, music, all the like. Play this game - criminally underrated.

Charmoso jogo narrativo de aventura que tenta responder (ou te fazer pensar sobre) a pergunta: "E no meio de 8 bilhões de pessoas, qual o seu impacto?" Uma ideia bem original de controle e personagens que foram criados para você se apaixonar por eles. === Minha história com este jogo foi uma das mais interessantes, porque foi Wandersong que me concedeu o interesse por acompanhar o mais perto o possível o desenvolvimento de jogos. Conheci pelo mais curioso dos acasos os devlogs ao vivo de Greg Lobanov, e passei a seguir o andamento do jogo meio de longe, até esquecer da existência. E então apareceu o teaser/trailer, que acendeu infinitas sinapses que me fizeram correr para descobrir mais do jogo. Fui jogar apenas na pandemia, em um momento perfeito de convergência onde eu precisava jogar a história de Wandersong. Apesar de minhas pequenas implicâncias quanto ao final do jogo, eu recomendo Wandersong de olhos fechados enquanto canto um falsete para persuadir um pássaro branco abstrato a me levitar, e enfim, ultrapassar mais um obstáculo da minha vida.

I wanted to like this more - while i appreciate the song mechanic and occasional puzzles, the visual style was too much at times where it's a long monotonous level. Finished to see where the story went but felt too long for me.

So, despite how much I adore rhythm games, I am just absolute garbage at them, and so often resort to living vicariously through let's plays to experience them. Which is why I am so happy that I was able to experience this game in its entirety! While music and singing is baked into the game and its story, it is far more puzzle based than rhythm based. The puzzles are incredibly well done, each area adding in new mechanics and gimmicks to keep things feeling fresh and it really amazed me how much creativity the devs brought to this project. The artstyle is also really fun and went along well with its story. The characters and world were all endlessly charming and I really felt myself rooting for my little bard boy and also falling in love with even minor NPCs! I loved the themes of peace over violence and what it means to be a hero attached to this sweet but emotional tale. And the way they use achievements to broaden the overall narrative is genius! I really enjoyed my time in this game and hopefully you will too!

When in doubt, SING!

Cleaning out my backlog and picked this up on a whim. In short: a really charming, winsome game. Wandersong is so earnest and sweet that it occasionally crosses the line into toothache territory, but there's something genuinely disarming about it. It feels like a relic from an earlier generation of game design (narrative-oriented, sincere, thoroughly uncool), but still managed to warm my withered, blackened 2026-era heart. Maybe an example of the right message hitting at the exact moment it was needed. It's also a surprisingly clever deconstruction of the hero's journey, and the conclusion is genuinely beautiful. I wasn't expecting a game this goofy to hit this hard. Also, I don't think I've ever hated a fictional character more than Audrey. Please fling her into the other end of the universe.
