End of May Update!

Spiritfarer is a beautiful and emotional journey about helping your friends into the afterlife. You start as a new spiritfarer with a run down ship and one spirit companion. Explore different areas, find spirits, and build your ship however you want.

I bought Spiritfarer to fill my Stardew Valley void and I'm so glad I did. They aren't super similiar but both involve building, exploring, and discovering new things. The graphics on spiritfarer are downright georgous. I was in awe of the game until the very end. The music perfectly match the graphics and just deliver a beautiful experience.

The controls feel super fluid and I like that you can take your time and manage the ship and the occupants at your own pace. The emotional beats hit hard and the characters have a nice range of personalities. Some likable, others not.

I cannot think of one problem I had with this game, which is why I'm giving it a perfect recommendation. I do think I found a big bug though. You aren't supposed to be able to travel on the ship at night, but halfway through the game it didn't stop me anymore. I just traveled all the time without stopping. I'm not complaining though because that just made the game more fun! I seriously recommend this game to anyone who is interested and I'm glad I played it.

This is kind of a hard game to review. It has a lot of different gameplay elements that just meshed into one interesting game. The Red String Club takes place in a cyberpunk setting and features bartending, pottery, conspiracies, ad thought provoking conversations about morality. I love the art, I love the characters, and I love the tension that the game creates. I spent most of the game wondering what was going to happen next and it was a fascinating ride. Not to mention, I'm in love with good pixel art!

The ending felt more open ended then I usually like, so I hope they make a sequel. Especially since theres a lot of unspoken lore around The Red String Club and its owner. Overall, I'd recommend this one, but maybe not full price. It is kind of short unless your doing multiple playthroughs. I don't think much changes based on your actions.

These Steamworld games are a lot of fun. So far I've played this one and Steamworld Hiest and I recommend both of them!

Steamworld Dig is a mining platformer where you dig the mines to explore and find money for upgrades. I'm not much of a completionist so I didn't get to much into it, but its one of those games where you can easily spend hundreds of hours on it to discover everything.

I enjoy the western aesthetic and earning upgrades was a lot of fun. If you play games like terraria then you'll probably enjoy this a lot more. This isn't my type of game and I still had a lot of fun, so I'm recommending all of the Steamworld games until I'm proven otherwise :P

Finding Paradise is a sequel to both "To the Moon" and "a Bird Story." You do not need to play either games to play Finding Paradise, but it does help you become more connected to the characters in the story.

Dr. Rosalene and Dr Watts are back at it again. You'll swap between the two of them throughout the story as you grant another dying wish. The music is beautiful and Freebird is once again pushing the boundaries of what you can do with rpg-maker.

It's a story heavy game with little gameplay so the story is the driving point of these games. I feel like this story was not as strong as To The Moon. Even if I didn't compare the two, there is a point in this story where I felt like they could have done so much more. The direction was not as impactful in my personal opinion. But aside from that, I still cried. It's still a beautiful story and message and the music pushes it home.

I'm glad I played this and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in these games. When they make another one I'll be excited to play.
