I fell in love with this game! This soothing experience was exactly what I needed.
In these times of stress, uncertainty and limited travels, I recommend this title to anyone with a sensitive soul, in search of answers to the trials of life or simply looking for beautiful personal tales. This game is so heart-warming it's like wrapping yourself up in a blanket and sitting outside on your porch, looking at the clouds and the setting sun. While it's about discovering new places or coming back to meaningful ones, this game is mostly about people. The writing of the different travel stories is fantastic, the descriptions are spot on and the tone is always right. The photos are of the highest quality and are great matches to the text. Finally, the soundtrack is simply the best I've heard in a long time. I like it so much that I've been listening to it on a loop outside the game.
I simply wished I'd had the possibility of visiting the part of Thailand I didn't choose after leaving Bangkok without having to start another playthrough.
This review on Steam if you want to mark it as helpful.
It’s nice to read a review of this, I’ve always hesitated to buy it because it sounded like something I could enjoy but I wasn’t sure it was worth it. Now it’s gone to my wishlist!
Thanks. If you’re interested in checking it out before buying it, there’s a free demo here: Wanderlust: Bangkok Prelude.
Besides, I highly suggest getting the game bundle which includes its shorter sequel: Transsiberian.
I’ll play the sequel as soon as I’m done with BlazBlue: Chronophantasma Extend.
Thanks for the head’s up :)
