Wandersong is a narrative driven puzzle platformer that is heavy on charm and light on mechanical depth. The writing, and the textual delivery of that writing, is exemplary. The overall story is incredibly hopeful but manages to just barely avoid becoming trite. And of course the music is very well composed, although the Bard's vocal patches can occasionally be a bit irritating.

Mechanically there's not a lot going on. Although the developers got a lot of mileage out of spinning the right joystick to sing, most of the game is very simple and easy. To counterbalance this low difficulty some sections are a bit repetitive, which slows the pacing down a bit too much. To really get the most out of this game you have to be prepared to stick through some mediocre gameplay sections for the sake of a masterfully crafted narrative.
