I’ve been fairly jazzed about Spiritfarer because it was first introduced final yr. The cozy crafting and administration game has a a lot completely different vibe from the final Thunder Lotus game I performed. Jotun kicked my rear proper by way of the ultimate moments so I’ll be glad to have a distinct relationship with this subsequent one. There’s a brand new trailer out at the moment exhibiting off a few of the gathering and crafting you’ll do whereas piloting your ferry.
Spiritfarer’s protagonist Stella ferries animal spirits to the afterlife and apparently does numerous chores and tasks on the ferry in between. In the brand new trailer beneath you may see Stella and her white cat companion (who might be performed by a second participant) mining for metals, chopping bushes, shearing sheep, after which processing uncooked supplies as you’re wont to do in nearly any crafting game.
The neat factor about Spiritfarer that I discovered when enjoying it at PAX West final yr is {that a} bit like a Minecraft and Stardew Valley’s crafting methods, issues take precise game time to finish and crusing between areas takes time as effectively. I used to be capable of set a course for the ferry after which go about my enterprise planting seeds, harvesting them, and all that whatnot as I journeyed. It felt good that each one my puttering about on the ferry didn’t intrude with really exploring and vice versa.
Spiritfarer is certainly one of RPS’ most exciting games of 2020 the place Alice Bee says “in Spiritfarer, your friends leave you, but they will also have taught you things, and you will never lose that.” It is a pleasant idea, hugging your new associates as you confidently ship them off to some magical afterlife.
Spiritfarer is deliberate for a 2020 launch. You can wishlist it on Steam. It may even be out there on the Xbox Game Pass for PC.
