LordDarias already defined this game in the perfect way. It's extremely impressive how a game about the death can emanate so much joy at the same time. It provides all sides of the spectrum as it can make you cry, smile and even laugh some times.

It's able to convey all of these emotions while presenting a very fun 'farm simulation' type of game with a gradual and rewarding system for obtaining resources. However, instead of managing animals you're doing so with spirits with unique and endearing personalities, and your farm is a boat which you're free to tune.

Then there's the visuals which are absolutely beautiful. Its nothing exceptionally innovative or artistic but in a way it's perfect for what the game is trying to portray. The same can be said about the music which fits in perfectly.

Life is all about memories and the older you get the more you realise about this. Spiritfarer understands that life is fragile and that's why it encourages the player to cherish each special moment with the people you most care about; whilst comprehending that people have ups and downs, and the best way to go through this is with the company of each other. Death can be scary and terribly damaging, but it's inevitable and can help us get perspective on appreciating the people you love.

This game is a charming experience which is true that it might drag out a bit longer than it should of, but it always hits the right note so it has to be a 5/5.
