I played a about an hour of Spiritfarer, it actually gets really emotional, and the music helps a lot with it. its a fun game, I might just pick up for the switch just to actually finish it.

I have to admit, it DOES seem very interesting, but management games aren’t really my cup of tea so I’ve been holding off.

It’s not overwhelming, but it is something you have to like to fully enjoy. Wait for a sale, and give it a try.

I don’t understand why MNN bothers with reporting Famitsu scores any more. A lot of them are just based around hype and advertising.
