![]() Some characters need to try and confront their past, some are ready to move on at a moment’s notice and aren’t afraid, some put up a brave front but are really afraid, some are still clinging to what they no longer have…it can get devastating at times. This shouldn’t exactly be surprising for a game about helping spirits of the deceased move on to what could be a mysterious new plane of existence, but Spiritfarer uses its characters to explore all of the different ways people deal with death and does a good job at it. There’s a lot of nicely humorous, cute and heart-warming dialogue in Spiritfarer, which sets the tone nicely…and makes the more emotional moments hit like a ton of bricks. And that’s just including those on your ship. Yes, not only do they become more colorful in a literal sense, but they also show off more of their individual traits, mannerisms and oddities, with a cast including overly dramatic romantics, enthusiastic artists, jovial gourmets, strict teachers and more. ![]() ![]() Beautifully-animated ones at that with lovable, creative designs and stellar animation that showcases a ton of personality. ![]() Whenever these particular spirits board your ship, they transform from their initial form of somewhat cylindrical hooded figures into vibrant animals, such as deer, toads and birds. Although at certain points, it’s suggested that Stella needs help of their own… Armed with the Everlight, a glowing orb that powers their ship and can transform into different tools (as well as their cat Daffodil, who can be controlled by a second player), Stella will convince certain spirits to join them on their journey, where they’ll have to decide exactly when they’re ready to go, with Stella helping them every step of the way. Commanding their own ship now, Stella needs to sail around and check out various lands for spirits that inhabit them, looking for those ready to board Stella’s ship and eventually be ferried to the Everdoor once they’re ready to move on, where they’ll advance to…well, who knows what lies beyond. Spiritfarer sees you stepping into the role of Stella, tasked by Charon to become the new Spiritfarer. But can Spiritfarer deliver a similar level of addictive imagination, being fun while exploring themes of life, loss and letting go? I got hooked on it for at least ten straight hours at one point, so I’m gonna say “Yes.” And be it an all-time classic like Grim Fandango or even something extremely recent like Necrobarista, there have been a few video games that have used unique visions of the afterlife to tell imaginative stories that have kept me and several others hooked for hours. Sadly, I can’t say what that moment is without spoiling a hefty chunk of The Good Place, but it did eventually get me to thinking about various depictions of the afterlife or journeys towards it. From there, start focusing on individual collections.There’s one key recurring moment in Spiritfarer, the new adventure game from developers Thunder Lotus, that kept reminding me of the finale to The Good Place. The ‘Collector’ Achievement is unlocked by completing all collections in Spiritfarer, which entails discovering every fish, figurine, gem, metal and recipe.Ĭonsidering this is one of the most challenging achievements to unlock, we recommend just playing the game normally until you have the full map revealed. When it comes to shellfish that appear on your ship’s hull, like Mussels and Oysters, current speculation suggests new species become available the more you increase your ship’s size. The type of fish that appear will depend on the region as well as the weather. There are 33 species of fish in Spiritfarer, and catching them all will require you to access the Ice, Rock and Mist Regions by upgrading your ship. Remember that any fish you catch can be used to make dishes for the Spirits aboard your ship, sold at shops throughout the world or traded in to fulfill NPC errand quests. Just try to be patient and focus on matching the fish’s rhythm. However, rarer species like Tuna are much harder to catch due to their significant resistance. If you keep reeling after your rod turns red, the line will break, and you’ll lose the fish.ĭepending on the species, you may encounter little to no resistance when reeling in the rod. Start reeling in the line, making sure to let go once your rod begins to turn red. Wait until you hear a bell sound indicating you’ve caught something. Once the fishing mini-game begins, Stella’s Everlight will be transformed into a fishing rod, allowing you to cast a line. To start fishing, simply interact with the chair located at the back of your ship, past the Captain’s quarters. Spiritfarer’s fishing mini-game is unlocked at the start of the game.
