Still early in Spiritfarer but damn if it doesn’t hit. From the character calling for worker’s rights to the realization that you’re never on your own, the game is wonderful from top to bottom.

So I’ve been interested in trying it but I am a little worried that it will be distressing because I’m going through a lot of health stuff with beloved ones in my life. In your opinion would this game be a downer or a respite in that case?
It’s so hard to say for sure. Things are rarely outright said but it’s easy to see what’s being referred to. The actual passing can bring the tears and one of the stories deals with a cancer victim. You will cry but there’s something comforting there, at least for me.
Love that game! I'm halfway way through, this is my 2nd time playing from the start, the first time I played it my switch broke, and I had helped almost all the spirits. I think I had like 3 or 4 left.
I sobbed through the hedgehog's (can't remember the character's name) storyline. It absolutely broke me as it felt so realistic. Never thought I'd cry as much over anthropomorphised animals as actual humans, but damn.
Spiritfarer is one of my top recommendations when people ask for cozy games with a lot of depth. It's so beautiful and one of my partners used to sit with me and fall asleep to the music 🩷
I tried to get into that game and I bounced off of it pretty hard despite thinking that it sounded right up my alley. I think it may have just been me going into it with the wrong mindset though because I was in full "Let's check it this off my backlog" mode. I may have to retry it sometime.

That's a game I forced myself to play little session after little session.
It creates a lasting impression that way
